The Government Housing Bank (GHB) partnered with the First Army Region to survey the living conditions of Pun Saeng Hem Thong, a first-grade student at Ban Rang Muang School in Chom Bueng District, Ratchaburi Province, in preparation for constructing a new home. Dr. Mahatthanaya Ampornpisitr, Managing Director of the GHB, along with officials and Lt. Col. Satthayu Chantsala, Deputy Commander of the 16th Army Infantry Division, assessed the family's situation and damage to their current residence. The new house will be built to be safe, secure, and hygienic, with the GHB funding construction costs while the First Army Region provides labor and equipment. The organizations also distributed educational funds and emergency relief packages to the family.

Pun Saeng Hem Thong faces difficult living circumstances. His father recently passed away, and he now lives with his mother and one other family member. His mother, who is deaf and relies on disability allowance, works occasional jobs to support the family. Their current single-story home has deteriorated wooden doors and corrugated metal walls with holes, allowing rainwater to leak inside during storms. The bathroom and toilet lack roofing.

This collaboration represents an effort to improve the quality of life for vulnerable and low-income families, reflecting the GHB's mission of "Building Homes, Building Livelihoods, Toward Sustainable Communities." The initiative aims to continuously provide opportunities and improve living standards for Thai people. The project took place at Pun Saeng's home in Chom Bueng Subdistrict, Chom Bueng District, Ratchaburi Province.

Revealing issues from celebrities who made negative criticism! Boom Panida wants to embrace Sai Scot, a victim of abuse whose nightmares will never fade – refusing to comment on the 'Mae Moo and Nong Nai' case, saying it depends on each family's agreement, but admitting that if her child cuts ties with her as a mother, it would hurt.

Broadcaster and social activist Boom Panida Vongphudee recently participated in the 'Food Universe' event on May 26, 2026 at Central Pinklao's promotional area, G floor. After fans expressed concern about her significant weight loss, she acknowledged that work has been intensive and she has been continuously providing relief assistance in the border situation.

When asked about her views on family violence, particularly the widely discussed case of Sai Scot, she stated:

"Everyone should already know Boom's stance – I stand with victims of abuse, and we've been working on laws in this area all along. But what should have happened long ago is for children to have the courage to speak up about what they've experienced. In the recent case, a 12-year-old was sexually assaulted and killed by her stepfather. We shouldn't have to wait until the victim dies or has to flee for their life."

Regarding whether wealth guarantees family happiness, she explained: "It's not about being rich or poor anymore – it's about warmth in the family. From reading about Sai and talking with children like this, what they need most is someone in their family who stands by them."

When asked what she would tell Sai if given the chance: "I want to hug him tightly. To get through this, he needs to process extremely heavy emotions. What he needs is at least one family member holding his hand, telling him, 'I'll make them apologize to you. I'll protect you.' That's what he wants. This case has moved beyond compromise – we need to center his emotional wellbeing and how he'll move forward when everyone already knows what happened."

On Leena Chang's recent statement that the issue happened 20 years ago and should be closed, she responded: "For someone who experienced abuse, there's no moving past the nightmares. Everything becomes a scar on the heart. People who weren't abused can say that, but victims experience nothing but nightmares. Even after the case ends, the feeling remains a nightmare. I want to tell Sai that there are both positive and negative comments, but I hope he holds onto the good feelings – because many people understand and support him."

When asked about her opinion on the case involving Nong Nai (Naphat) and Mae Moo (Pimpaka), she said: "Boom absolutely refuses to comment on this case. To be honest, because we don't know the full story, and I don't understand why suddenly Nong Nai brought this up in the middle of an interview when many people think...

Prime Minister Anusit Chaivirakul, along with the Ministry of Interior and his delegation, arrived at Don Mueang Royal Thai Army Airport's Wing 6 on May 27th. At 2:00 PM, the PM is scheduled to preside over and officially open the 2026 Thai Food Export Fair (THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA 2026) at the Grand Diamond Ballroom in Impact Forum, Building 8, at Impact Exhibition and Convention Center in Muang Thong Thani, Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi Province.

Culture Minister Sabiida Taiyasetya posted Instagram stories during the return flight from France after completing official meetings. The photos showed PM Anusit working at his seat on the aircraft. She captioned one image: 'While everyone is tired and sleeping, the Prime Minister is working,' and followed with another post saying 'Three hours, four hours have passed—he's still working.'

Pai Partith recently brought his mother and relatives to Phrae province—Namtarn's hometown—to formally ask for her hand in marriage from her parents. The actor shared his excitement on social media with photos and videos from the trip, posting: "I brought my mother and relatives to Phrae to formally ask for this girl's hand in marriage. I'm even more excited than when I proposed. I was so caught up with my mom the whole night I almost forgot everything. Thank you to Namtarn's parents and relatives for such a warm and lovely welcome. Everyone put on weight from all the good food!" Entertainment industry friends flooded the post with congratulatory comments and well-wishes, expressing their excitement and admiration for the sweet moment shared by the beloved couple.

The Kasikornbank Research Center states that new visa measure revisions under a May 19, 2026 Cabinet resolution aim to enhance security and regulate immigration, covering four main components:

1. Implementation of a "one country, one privilege" system to reduce redundancy, eliminating the previous practice where one country could receive multiple exemption privileges.

2. Reduction of visa-free stay duration from 60 days to 30 days, with eligible countries reduced from 93 to 54.

3. Creation of a new 15-day tourism visa exemption limited to three territories: Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles.

4. Adjustment of the visa-on-arrival list to four countries: Azerbaijan, Belarus, India, and Serbia (reduced from 31 countries previously eligible).

These measures will take effect 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette.

The Kasikornbank Research Center projects that these new visa measures will restrict the foreign tourism market. Although many countries lack representation in the 54-country exemption list or visa-on-arrival privileges, several key tourism markets such as China, Macau, Hong Kong, and South Korea have bilateral agreements with Thailand. Foreign tourists from countries outside the new visa framework represent only 0.7% of total foreign arrivals to Thailand in the first four months of 2026.

However, Thailand's foreign tourism market faces additional risks from Middle East instability. Ministry of Tourism and Sports data shows that from January 1 to May 24, 2026, foreign arrivals declined 2.8% to 13.4 million, with Middle Eastern tourists dropping 28% and ASEAN tourists declining 16%.

The remainder of 2026 presents mounting headwinds for foreign tourism, including: - Geopolitical tensions with Middle East instability and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict - Energy crisis pushing up travel costs and creating fuel shortages in some countries - Increased competition in the tourism industry as travelers seek value and safety - Infectious disease outbreaks including Ebola, COVID-19, and Hantavirus affecting regional travel patterns

Given these factors, the Kasikornbank Research Center projects that total foreign tourist arrivals to Thailand in 2026 could fall to 30 million, down from 33 million in the previous year.

On May 27, 2569, investigators from Ban Deuan Police Station in Kasetsart District, Chaiyaphum Province received a report from a 46-year-old mother alleging that she was sexually assaulted by her 15-year-old biological son inside their home. Police Captain Neua Aphiwat Yatcharoen, superintendent of Ban Deuan Police Station, has accepted a criminal complaint under case number 98/25639 filed on May 26, 2569. Investigators are gathering evidence at the crime scene, interrogating the victim, arranging a medical examination with DNA samples collected from both victim and suspect.

Chairaphum Police Region Commander Sujrit Panlek ordered investigators to expedite evidence collection with thoroughness, emphasizing that this case involves a child committing violence against a parent, which deeply impacts the victim and the public. The suspect was brought in for questioning and confessed to forcibly assaulting his mother. He will be presented to the Juvenile and Family Court to seek detention, as the suspect is 15 years old. Commander Sujrit assured the public that the case will be handled with rigor and efficiency to ensure justice and safety for the victim.
