January Alert! Step into 2026 with These Activities


The year begins with exhaustion from the very first month. Just pushing yourself back to work is tough enough, but now international conflicts are escalating, increasing the likelihood of a third world war. Meanwhile, domestic politics are heating up with elections and a referendum that keep us anxiously awaiting the country's future.

Following these stories is important, but there are many other things around us that help capture our attention. So, Thairath Plus has compiled a variety of activities happening throughout the rest of January to help us step into 2026 with a lighter heart.
