Content creator and boyfriend in trouble over alleged sex video

OnlyFans star “Kai Nao” (rotten egg) and her boyfriend were called by police on Friday for allegedly producing a sex video and uploading through the platform.

OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service, through which content creators can earn money from users who subscribe to their content, or so called “fan”. Sexual content among others is popular on the platform.

The Cyber-Crime Investigation Bureau had learned that a female content provider known as Kai Nao had provided sexual content along with her boyfriend. Also, Kai Nao had encouraged interested persons to produce the same kind of content on OnlyFans, via a YouTube video.

Police concluded that Kai Nao’s action was a violation of the Computer Crime Act, as well as the criminal law for allegedly persuading others to engage in inappropriate sexual activity.

On Friday, the OnlyFans star and her boyfriend were called for questioning. The woman reportedly admitted to her actions. Officials said they would prosecute her and the boyfriend.

Police added that other Thai OnlyFans content providers were being investigated and could be prosecuted as well.

Chumphon launches Covid-19 testing for Thai and migrant fishermen

The public health office in Chumphon province on Friday launched a campaign among fishing boat workers at the pier in Pak Nam subdistrict to find Covid-19 cases.

“The campaign is in collaboration with entrepreneurs in the fishing industry, who helped donate money to buy antigen test kits for fishing boat workers, both Thais and migrants,” said Chumphon Governor Theera Anantaseriwitthaya.

“Those who test positive will be immediately isolated to prevent cluster cases. Workers who still have symptoms after completing their quarantine will be sent to hospitals in the province for treatment.”

The governor added that once all the workers are tested, the province will extend the campaign to cover high-risk citizens, such as elders, disabled persons and those with underlying health problems.

“As the campaign expands, the number of new Covid-19 cases in Chumphon will likely go up. However, it is a good thing that infected persons are found and isolated early on before they spread the virus to family members and surrounding communities,” added Theera.

On Wednesday, Chumphon had provided 2,500 jabs of Sinopharm vaccine to workers of fruit plantations as more fruit buyers from all over the country are entering the province to buy durians and mangosteens.

After 7-year ban, Iraq to import second lot of Thai rice

A major Thai rice exporter has recently signed a contract with Iraqi importers to supply 44,000 tonnes of 100 per cent white rice.

The contract for supply was signed by Tanasan Rice Plc.

“This will be the second lot that Iraq has bought from Thailand this year,” Kriangsak Tabnanon, president of the Thai Rice Mills Association, said on Friday.

“The first lot of 44,000 tonnes had been delivered on August 18. The transaction marks a historic moment for rice export as Iraq had boycotted rice from Thailand for seven years over quality concerns.”

Kriangsak said the ban was the result of a Thai exporter, who had delivered 110,000 tonnes of rice to Iraq in 2014, failing to meet the country’s quality standards. The Iraqi importers also claimed that the delivered rice was 10 per cent less than what was agreed on, which had led to a ban on Thai rice that lasted seven years.

“The removal of the ban is great news for Thai rice exporters. Iraq has been a long-time customer of Thailand and could buy more rice from us,” he said.

“The association would urge all exporters to give rice quality top priority to strengthen customer confidence so as to secure more orders in the future.”

Blackpink’s Lisa making big plans for Buri Ram

Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban, the only Thai member of the K-Pop girl band Blackpink, said she wants to improve the education standards of children in her home province of Buri Ram.

In an interview with the Korea Times on Thursday, the popstar voiced interest in launching an international cultural exchange programme with help from the Korea Foundation.

The foundation is building a cultural compound at the Non Suwan Phittayakhom School in Buri Ram this year and is also planning to set up a K-pop dance academy staffed by local teachers.

The all-girl group was launched in 2016 by YG Entertainment and was the first Korean band to enter and top Billboard’s Emerging Artists’ chart.

Dumped industrial chemicals poison Lopburi water supply

The Pollution Control Department (PCD) has filed a police complaint against a company suspected of dumping hazardous waste and poisoning the water supply in Lopburi province.

On Friday, PCD chief Atthaphon Charoenchansa joined police to inspect the scene at Baan Deelang in Phatthana Nikhom district, 150 kilometres north of Bangkok. They found hundreds of dumped 200-litre barrels leaking chemicals into a four-rai area of Baan Deelang. Authorities in the district have suspended the local water supply to residents.

The PCD chief said chemical samples taken from the barrels were found to be flammable. Water samples collected from wells and other sources used by locals were found to be contaminated.

“Contractors dump hazardous waste because this method is cheaper than disposing of it legally,” said Atthaphon.

He said that the company responsible would be punished, adding that the clean-up operation would cost several hundred million baht. So far, the company that owns the polluted land has rejected the accusation, but evidence would prove their guilt, he said. The penalty would be lessened if the company cooperates and provides useful information, he added.

Plan to reopen Bangkok on Oct 1 not yet approved: CCSA

The Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said on Friday it had not yet approved reopening Bangkok to foreign travellers next month.

CCSA spokesperson Apisamai Srirangsan confirmed that the Bangkok Sandbox plan to accept fully vaccinated foreign tourists without quarantine from October 1 had not been given the green light.

Earlier this week, the Tourism and Sports Ministry and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) agreed to propose the plan to the CCSA.

Apisamai said the proposal must first be discussed with relevant agencies before being sent to the Public Health Ministry for careful revision, because Bangkok is a large and diverse area. The finalised plan will then be presented to the CCSA for approval, she added.
