Ex-MP questions promotion of NACC director in hit-and-run case

16 Sept 08:30 Key points summarised by AI

Former MP Watchara Petthong challenged the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for promoting director Charong Krohmoh to a higher-paying position *after* his alleged involvement in a fatal hit-and-run incident.
Charong is accused of striking and killing a delivery rider while driving under the influence and attempting to flee the scene, resulting in charges including reckless driving causing death and drunk driving.
The ex-MP condemned the promotion as a severe lack of good governance, arguing that Charong should have been temporarily relieved of duty and investigated, rather than assigned a new post with increased income.

Lamphun in a New Light

Today 15:02 Key points summarised by AI

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
