Thaksin-Backed Coalition Risks Fracturing in Thai Budget Vote
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's less than one-year-old government faces its biggest test yet, with feuding between the two biggest coalition parties threatening the national budget.
The fate of the $113 billion spending plan lies in the hands of the conservative Bhumjaithai party, the second-largest group in an alliance that commands a nearly two-thirds majority in the legislature. Bhumjaithai has been quarreling with the biggest coalition party Pheu Thai of Paetongtarn and her father, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

There's a U.S. Travel Deficit, Too – Hotel CEOs Call for a Fix
Major hotel CEOs say the U.S. has lost significant ground in attracting international visitors. They also say they are focused on expansion in high-growth markets like, India, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Hotel leaders say the U.S. is squandering its tourism potential — and global hotel giants are increasingly looking abroad for growth, particularly India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Anthony Capuano, CEO of Marriott International, highlighted the challenges on Monday. A decade ago, foreign travelers spent $50 billion more in the U.S. than Americans spent abroad. That has since reversed: The U.S. now facing a $50 billion deficit in international travel, according to the U.S. Travel Association. "You would expect that would get a stronger reaction that it's gotten," Capuano said, while speaking on-stage at the NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum in New York. "We've got a decade of amazing global tentpole events coming," Capuano said. "We've got World Cup. We've the LA Olympics. We have the Utah Olympics. So we've got to streamline visa

Crypto Exchange BexBack Offers 100x Leverage, No KYC, and Up to 10 BTC Bonus for New Users
SINGAPORE, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BexBack, a rising star in the crypto derivatives industry, today announced the official launch of its global crypto futures trading platform. The exchange offers up to 100x leverage, a 100% deposit bonus, and no KYC requirement, giving users around the world unprecedented access to fast, private, and flexible crypto trading. What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work? Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example: Suppose the Bitcoin price is $100,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC. One day later, if the price rises to $105,000, your profit will be (105,000 - 100,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%. With BexBack's deposit bonus BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%. Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks. How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work? The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation. Built for traders of all levels, BexBack supports over 50 major crypto contracts, including BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. With zero spreads, no slippage, and lightning-fast execution, it delivers an institutional-grade trading experience optimized for speed and precision. 'Our mission is to empower traders — without the limitations imposed by traditional platforms,' said David, Operations Director at BexBack. 'From high leverage to fast onboarding, we remove the friction and put powerful tools in the hands of every user.' Double Bonus for New Users New users who deposit at least 0.001 BTC or 100 USDT are eligible for a 100% deposit bonus. After completing their first trade (open and close a position), users can request the $50 welcome trading bonus by emailing [email protected]. Once verified, the bonus will be credited to their USDT-M futures account within 24 hours. This $50 bonus can be used to open leveraged positions or offset potential losses, giving new traders a practical edge in volatile markets. Key Highlights of BexBack: BexBack has rapidly gained traction, with over 500,000 users from 200+ countries and regions.

Red Bull Heir Transfers $1.1 Billion Stake to Geneva Trust Firm

Chalerm Yoovidhya, a son of the Thai businessman, got the remaining 2% and has kept it for around four decades as Red Bull became a roaring success and turned him, his father and at least nine other family members into billionaires.
