2h ago Khaosod

Young actor Khom Hasawee has frequently been the subject of romantic speculation. At a recent event for Welcome Home The Journey, a human travel documentary series at Happy Vibes Zpell @ Future Park, he updated his current relationship status and revealed he's been managing panic disorder symptoms, which have recently improved.

When asked about a recent family outing with his grandmother, Khom explained, "Yes, grandmother wanted to pick durians but they were out of season, so we got rambutan and mangosteen instead." He confirmed the trips are planned in advance, rotating between his grandfather and grandmother. "Last time we went to Phetchaburi with grandfather, this time grandmother visited so we took her to Chanthaburi," he said.

Regarding family care, Khom shared that he acts like a child at home, mostly expressing affection through hugs and cuddles with his parents and grandparents. "As I grow older and my family ages, I want to do what I can for them," he explained. He emphasized the healing effect of family time: "Being home gives me warmth from their words and actions. Hearing their laughter and stories fills me with energy."

When asked about his grandmother's expectations of him finding a partner, Khom said she's no longer pressing the issue since he already has many cousins. Regarding his current romantic status, he stated: "There isn't really a strict definition for calling someone a partner these days. I'm comfortable with my situation." He clarified that he dates casually, describing it as "coming and going" rather than anything serious. "Currently things are going well, but I'm taking a break," he added, noting that his obsession with football during the World Cup has occupied most of his time.

Lawmaker Demands Clear Social Security Debt Plan

A Pheu Thai lawmaker criticized the government's mounting 42 billion baht Social Security Office debt, demanding a formal repayment plan with specific timelines instead of vague commitments during June budget debates.

3h ago Khaosod

On June 30, 2569, Suhasawat Kumkong, Chachoengsao MP from Pheu Thai Party, debated the fiscal year 70 budget for labor affairs. He noted initial surprise at the 3.7 billion baht budget increase for the Labor Ministry, suggesting the government recognizes the importance of worker upskilling and reskilling in the global economy. While a 5% increase ranks third among all ministries, Suhasawat cautioned that closer examination reveals most additional funds went to the Social Security Office, receiving over 4.2 billion baht. He explained that of this amount, only 1.4 billion baht covered increased social security benefits from wage ceiling adjustments, while the remaining 2.8 billion baht represented additional government contributions. The government currently owes the Social Security Office 42 billion baht.

Suhasawat stressed the need for a concrete repayment plan, comparing this year's 7 billion baht in new debt usage favorably to the 18,000 million baht used during former PM Yingluck Shinawatra's administration. However, he called on the Labor Minister to secure Prime Minister approval for a binding debt repayment framework with specific annual targets and timelines, rather than merely consulting on the matter.

Critically, Suhasawat emphasized the government must repay both principal and accrued interest. He noted that while the government defers interest payments, the accumulated interest could be substantial if properly calculated. Interest earnings from investing the owed capital could significantly benefit the 24 million insured persons. He urged the government to compensate workers for lost opportunity costs.

Suhasawat also pointed out that the budget increase contradicts campaign promises on upskilling and reskilling workers. The focus on social security payments means the Labor Ministry's actual program budget decreased by 500 million baht, failing to address modern labor challenges or fulfill policy pledges. He concluded that despite universal campaign promises on worker development, the budget fails to reflect these priorities, particularly when labor ministry resources were already limited and now face further reductions.

Police Bust Illegal Used Car Operation, Arrest Two Chinese Nationals

Police arrested two Chinese nationals operating an illegal used car dealership in Chachoengsao Province, seizing 19 vehicles and charging them with working without permits and conducting unlicensed business.

3h ago Khaosod

At 5:00 PM on June 30, 2025, Pol. Lt. Col. Kritsana Masuk, superintendent of Ban Bung Police Station in Chachoengsao Province, led officers to inspect a commercial building in Nong Sak Subdistrict after receiving intelligence about Chinese nationals illegally operating a used car business. Officers executed a plan to make a purchase at the agreed price of 360,000 baht in cash to catch the suspects in action.

During the inspection, police found multiple vehicles parked in front of the office and an additional 10 vehicles on the side, totaling 19 seized vehicles. Two Chinese men were identified as office owners and taken into custody.

They were charged with three offenses: (1) working without a valid work permit or exceeding the scope of work authorization under Section 8 of the Foreign Worker Management Act B.E. 2560 (2017) and amendments; (2) engaging in used goods trading without proper license; and (3) failing to register the business as required by law.

The suspects and evidence were handed over to Ban Bung Police Station for further legal proceedings. This case represents an enforcement effort against illegal foreign worker businesses in the area, particularly those competing unfairly with Thai workers or operating without authorization. Officials will investigate their legal status in Thailand and proceed with deportation procedures.

Phone Shop Owner Questioned After Unknowingly Buying Stolen iPhone

A phone shop owner in Pathum Thani faced police questioning after unknowingly buying a stolen iPhone 17 Pro Max that had its security system illegally removed, prompting him to warn others in the industry about widespread device unlocking f

3h ago Khaosod

Ritthichak Danudet, owner of a mobile phone shop in Lam Luak Khlong 2, Pathum Thani, posted a warning after nearly facing criminal charges for unknowingly purchasing a stolen iPhone.

On June 25, a vendor sold him an iPhone 17 Pro Max for 42,500 baht. The shop conducted routine checks and found no security locks, so he posted it for resale and scheduled a pickup appointment.

When the customer arrived on June 26, six undercover detectives appeared instead and brought the shop owner to a police station. There he met with the complainant and learned that the phone belonged to a company that had sold it with a down payment arrangement. However, the device's MDM (Mobile Device Management) security system had been removed and the phone illegally resold. The company had traced the device to his shop.

After discussion and explanation, police confirmed that the shop owner had made a standard purchase from an ordinary vendor and documented the case for further legal action.

The shop owner warned others in the mobile phone industry to be extremely cautious during this period of widespread device unlocking fraud. He urged police to quickly apprehend those involved in removing security locks, as their actions make legitimate business very difficult.

Neymar Fires Back At Mathematician's Failed World Cup Prediction

Brazilian star Neymar mocked German mathematician Joachim Clement after his World Cup prediction that Japan would beat Brazil proved spectacularly wrong—Brazil won 2-1 instead.

3h ago Khaosod

Brazilian star Neymar has responded to a German mathematician's prediction that Japan would defeat Brazil in the World Cup Round of 32. Joachim Clement, a German mathematician and data analyst, became famous for accurately predicting World Cup champions three consecutive times: Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022. For the 2026 World Cup, Clement used a computational model combining various factors including per capita GDP, weather conditions, FIFA world rankings, and luck variables. He predicted the Netherlands would win the championship and potentially face Portugal in the final, and included a forecast that Japan would beat Brazil. "I don't make predictions for individual group stage matches, but I expect we might see Brazil facing Japan in the final Round of 32, and Japan will defeat Brazil," Clement said in his prediction. "At first, it may seem unbelievable to me because Brazil is the most successful team in World Cup history, but the current players are not in their best form, whereas Japan has an excellent team right now." However, Clement's predictions proved entirely wrong: the Netherlands was eliminated on penalty kicks by Morocco, while Brazil defeated Japan 2-1 in the 90th minute with a goal from Martinelli. Most recently, Neymar posted a tweet mocking the mathematician, saying "Joachim Clement, try again at the next World Cup," and ended the post with a winking emoji.

US Security Chief Celebrates Iran's World Cup Exit

US Homeland Security Secretary Markawayne Mullin expressed satisfaction at Iran's World Cup elimination, saying he was pleased enough to dance after the team was denied visas and forced to travel through Mexico for all matches.

5h ago Khaosod

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markawayne Mullin expressed joy at Iran's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, saying he was so pleased he felt like dancing. Iran exited in the group stage after drawing 1-1 with Austria and Algeria. During a recent security department briefing, Mullin stated, "I'm just happy they're done and won't be back." Iran faced significant obstacles during the tournament, as many players and officials were denied U.S. visas and had to travel through Mexico for all three matches. U.S. authorities only permitted the team to stay one day before matches, forcing them to return to their camp immediately. Iran's team complained of being the most oppressed team at the World Cup. Mullin revealed his satisfaction: "I was very pleased we could revoke their visas and tell them to leave U.S. soil. I might sing a song or two, or maybe even feel like dancing with joy. No other team has required more of our administrative effort than Iran."
