Five Thai farm workers released by Hamas in Gaza last month have arrived home in Bangkok, after spending nearly 500 days in captivity.

Pongsak Thaenna, Sathian Suwannakham, Watchara Sriaoun, Bannawat Saethao and Surasak Lamnao had all been working in southern Israel when they were kidnapped during the attacks by Hamas on 7 October 2023.

    These are the “lucky” ones as 46 Thai people were murdered by Hamas for just working there.

    I’m currently in Thailand and it’s big news here even though nobody really cares about Middle East shit here. I sincerely hope Hamas will be erased from existence and history with everything they stand for.
