Thai broadcast media organizations are seeking an investigation into General Prawit Wongsuwan for alleged ethical misconduct against a reporter.
The incident involved General Prawit appearing to grab a Thai PBS reporter's head and intimidating her after she asked a question about a parliamentary vote.
Media groups assert that Prawit's actions, despite his claim of joking, constitute intimidation and may violate MP codes of conduct regarding respect and refraining from threats.

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.

The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
