On May 20 at Sri Racha Police Station in Chonburi Province, police escorted Amnart Ruenrueng, a former Thai national amateur international boxer and IBF flyweight world champion (112 pounds), to Chonburi Provincial Court for remand. This came after his family, exhausted by his behavior, posted a video of the former champion using drugs and causing a disturbance in the middle of the night. On May 18, officers arrested Amnart at Khao Taeng On community in Sri Racha subdistrict and took him for drug testing, which came back positive.

Amnart was under probation and required to report to Chonburi Provincial Court. He had reported twice before the drug use video surfaced. Additionally, he faces another pending sentencing case and had failed to report to court. The Chonburi Probation Office will now consider revoking his deferred sentence, making him subject to legal penalties.

While being escorted to court, Amnart appeared calm and unbothered, saying: "I'm asking for another chance. This time I'll do better than before. I won't behave badly or fall back into my old habits anymore."

A teacher at Ban Rang Muang School in Jombueng District, Ratchaburi Province was deeply moved after a home visit revealed that a first-grade student still wore his kindergarten uniform to school. The student lives with his deaf mother, Ms. Renu Sopha, 46, and grandmother in a dilapidated single-story house with crumbling wooden doors and rusted corrugated metal that leaks during rain. The family is in severe poverty following the recent death of the student's father.

On May 20, 2569, teacher Rujisa Noisanthi discovered the family's dire circumstances. The mother works temporary odd jobs to support the household but faces severe limitations due to being deaf and receiving only minimal disability benefits. When school began, the mother was unaware her son had advanced to first grade and could not afford to buy him a proper uniform.

Moved by the situation, Rujisa consulted with colleagues and organized donations for school uniforms, shoes, and a backpack. The teacher group also pooled money to buy rice and provided 800 baht for immediate living expenses. The student's academic performance is good, showing strong effort and dedication despite his family's hardship.

Variegated Syngonium Podophyllum plants are gaining international popularity, with approximately 70% of production exported to Japan, China, Europe, and the Middle East, while 30% is sold domestically. A reporter recently interviewed Udom Thitiwattanaskul, owner of Udom Garden in Don Klang District, Damnoen Saduak, Ratchaburi Province, after he successfully cultivated "Syngonium Podophyllum" plants that have attracted significant interest both domestically and internationally, particularly the variegated variety. Udom explained that producing variegated plants is challenging, with only about a 16% success rate, or approximately 1 in 6 plants. Sometimes, even if the parent plant shows clear variegation patterns, the propagated offspring may revert to normal green color. Currently, the most popular colors in global markets fall into two main groups: pink-purple tones and yellow-orange-red tones. These color shades can change depending on environmental conditions, fertilizers, and vitamins used in cultivation. The garden's current market distribution is approximately 70% foreign exports and 30% domestic sales, with primary markets in the Middle East, Europe, China, and Japan. Exports adhere to strict standards—plants must display continuous variegation from small to mature size, with no "green loss" or "black loss" defects, and must be grown under natural light only without LED grow lights for color enhancement. During long transportation periods, artificially enhanced colors fade and become unacceptable to customers. European customers prefer smaller plants for easier packaging, while Middle Eastern customers prefer larger specimens. A critical requirement for Middle Eastern exports is that no coconut husk or shredded coconut material can be attached to the plants. Although variegated Syngonium Podophyllum plants require 1.5 to 2 years of cultivation before they're ready for export, their high market demand means that even young plants showing clear variegation patterns are immediately pre-ordered by customers. This has become another lucrative emerging plant in the post-COVID era with continuous value generation potential.
