Solve Hair Loss from the Root: Restore Your Hair's Strength and Confidence with Expert-Formulated Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo

Vichy Dercos anti-hair loss shampoo targets weak hair roots using Aminexil and other strengthening ingredients to reduce shedding and restore scalp balance.

4d ago Khaosod

Seeing clumps of hair clogging the drain after shampooing, or strands of hair coming out in bunches when combing, is an unsettling experience many people face. The situation becomes even more concerning when you notice an expanding bald patch, which can significantly shake your confidence in daily life and social interactions. Hair loss can affect anyone regardless of gender or age due to various environmental factors, and without proper care, it can develop into a much harder problem to treat in the future.

Understanding the True Cause of Hair Loss

Abnormal hair shedding typically stems from weak hair roots and a scalp that has lost its natural balance. When collagen around the hair roots becomes rigid and loses elasticity, it reduces the hair's grip on the scalp, making strands fall out more easily than normal. Sustainable solutions therefore shouldn't focus only on treating the hair ends, but rather on restoring and strengthening the hair root structure.

Innovative Hair Care from Vichy Dercos

Choosing products with proven research backing is essential to address these concerns from the root. The Vichy Dercos anti-hair loss shampoo in red formula is recommended—it features innovation specifically designed for weak scalps. Its key active ingredients include:

Aminexil: A patented molecule that has undergone extensive research to strengthen hair roots and resist collagen hardening around the hair root area.

Strengthened Anchoring: Acts as a protective shield that extends hair lifespan, improves hair grip on the scalp, and addresses the problem precisely.

Targeted Deep Nourishment: Restores scalp balance, creates an ideal environment, and promotes the growth of healthy new hair.

All Vichy products undergo rigorous clinical testing overseen by dermatology and scalp care experts, ensuring real, visible results while remaining gentle and irritant-free. For those seeking to restore confidence and hair health with clearer and faster results, it's recommended to use this cleansing product alongside a root nourishing serum from the same line for comprehensive and optimal care.

Get Your Lottery Tickets Ready! Sangkhom Dok Sadao Appears in Dream with Lucky Numbers, Jare Chern Yim Buys and Shows Off Tickets

After fellow comedians attended the final funeral rites for Sangkhom Dok Sadao to offer condolences to the prominent comedy family in Suphan Buri province a few days ago, Jare Chern Yim—who has earned a reputation for good fortune with lottery winnings and has previously won first prize—attended Sangkhom Dok Sadao's funeral and didn't miss the opportunity to buy lucky numbers from the lottery stand at the funeral.

He swept up tickets using Sangkhom Dok Sadao's age of 64 and the final breath number that Sangkhom's daughter mentioned—his father's blood pressure stopped at 86.

Furthermore, the Facebook channel Ratchani Channel posted a clip showing Jare Chern Yim and his wife, who came to pay their final respects to Sangkhom Dok Sadao, standing and selecting lottery tickets being sold by a vendor at Sangkhom Dok Sadao's funeral ceremony. Jare Chern Yim displayed the lottery number 093824 in his hand, explaining that last night Sangkhom told him to buy it—he thinks it's a message from him, but he's worried the ghost might be tricking him or possessing him.

Meanwhile, Jare Chern Yim's wife displayed the number 336986, saying it was the final heartbeat and pulse number (86) that Sangkhom's daughter mentioned. The famous comedian's wife also said that if they win this number, she'll buy a suit to send as a gift.

4d ago Khaosod

Joey Phuvasiit releases "Rice Cooker," the final single closing his "Phon Sai Style Sound" album, featuring Punch Vorakanya to add feminine flavor and depth alongside Joey's lonely chemistry. The song maintains the careful production of producer Bank Ratwitchaya Ananphornsiree, who handled music arrangement and vocals, while the music video, directed by Tong Teh Thitti Srinon—a collaborator from the film "Saphareo 2"—promises to showcase the pair's complementary chemistry through melancholy yet uplifting vibes.

James Alyn from JUICEY label opens the new year with "My Friend?," a track exploring "the closest distance" through the imagery of two people sitting together in a car driving toward the horizon, yet emotionally worlds apart.

Boy group VVV (Triple V), comprising Junior, Jiwat, and Janus under THE TOYS' direction from Whoop Music, makes a comeback with "My Queen (Prince of Mine)," a feel-good song with charming content. Producer THE TOYS ensures smooth production throughout, while the music video showcases all three members transformed into charming princes, guaranteed to deliver maximum satisfaction.

Colorful music designer "La Ong Fong" from Spicy Disk releases "Danger Not Fatal," a warm new song perfect for rainy season weather. Written and composed by Fong Bian (Pawit Uthaichaleam) with music arrangement by Palm Andaphanart Chaikaew, La Ong Fong explains the concept explores ended love and heartbreak, yet upon reflection, discovers it's not fatal—just a period requiring the heart to work harder. They define it as "sad but not sorrowful."

Pe Arak from What The Duck returns as an artist with the single "Same No. (Same Number)," another track from his album "Broken Hearted, Addicted, Dog Dies." The song conveys nostalgia for an old love and shared memories, capturing the regret of realizing one's feelings too late. Pe shares that inspiration came from a real experience in his life, developed through gently cutting content paired with simple music evoking the atmosphere of the past.

Modern rock band SOUNDSLEEP from Tiny label returns with new single "Let You Go (Dissolve)," a rock song capturing the indescribable feeling many experience but can't name—the state of accepting reality while still hurting, choosing to hold onto the last fragment of love without letting it fade. The song is now available on all music streaming platforms and YouTube (tinybkk).

General Rangsi Launches Chanjatep as Bangkok Governor Candidate, Unveils Five Policy Platforms

4d ago Khaosod

On May 27, 2025, at the Airport Rail Link Makkasan station, the Ruamthai Tham Party, led by General Rangsi Kittiyanacharit, officially launched Police Lieutenant General Chanjatep Sesavej as its Bangkok governor candidate, along with 49 Bangkok Metropolitan Council candidates for the June 28, 2025 election.

General Rangsi stated that the party aims to improve quality of life in Bangkok by introducing innovations to solve persistent urban problems and elevate living standards to match global metropolitan cities. He outlined five key policies:

1. Introduce AI technology to manage traffic signals across Bangkok and coordinate with railway systems to prevent disasters.

2. Install closed-circuit cameras throughout Bangkok for public safety, with accessible footage available to citizens.

3. Increase drainage points and water pumps to cover all areas and improve water drainage efficiency.

4. Eliminate garbage within four years using plasma arc technology, making Bangkok clean and free from plastic waste and litter.

5. Reduce corruption and misconduct in procurement, construction permits, and under-the-table payments that have plagued the city.

General Rangsi also pledged to expand street food vending areas without impacting traffic or pedestrian paths, benefiting vendors from Bangkok and other provinces.

Police Lieutenant General Chanjatep committed to using city officials to assist in traffic enforcement and implementing technology in congested areas. He promised to consult with police leadership on traffic control measures and proposed eliminating garbage collection fees and implementing waste sorting.

When asked about incumbent governor Chumphon Silpasuwan's previous promises, Chanjatep questioned how many had been actually implemented with concrete results.

Pheu Thai Party Votes to Turn Over Chonnapat to DSI, Urges Him to Take Responsibility and Waive Immunity

Pheu Thai Party voted to allow Songkhla MP Chonnapat Naksan to face DSI charges related to an online gambling investigation, urging him to voluntarily waive his parliamentary immunity to demonstrate transparency.

4d ago Khaosod

On May 27, 2569, Panida Mongkholswasdi, a Samut Prakan MP and Pheu Thai deputy spokesperson, announced that following a DSI request for the arrest of Chonnapat Naksan, a Songkhla MP from Palang Pracharath Party, in connection with an online gambling website investigation, parliament had scheduled an urgent agenda item for May 28. The Pheu Thai parliamentary caucus voted to permit Chonnapat to appear before parliament to hear the charges and answer questions during the session.

The party justified this decision on two grounds: First, constitutional immunity under Article 125 of Thailand's Constitution is intended to protect MPs' ability to freely perform their duties as people's representatives, particularly during parliamentary sessions, without obstruction. Second, the immunity provisions exist to prevent political persecution and to protect MPs from having the justice system weaponized against them to obstruct their oversight functions.

However, after reviewing the facts and law in this case, the party believes justice should proceed normally in the interest of transparency. To set an appropriate standard and demonstrate sincerity to the public, the Pheu Thai Party believes the accused should publicly declare his voluntary waiver of immunity and submit fully to legal proceedings to prove his innocence as quickly as possible.

Reviving the Charm of Ancient Joseon in 'GAT': Contemporary Ballet from Korea Opens 'Korea Season 2026'

4d ago Khaosod

Who would have thought that Western ballet, when blended with Eastern culture, could emerge looking so modern and powerful? Thai audiences recently got their fill of 'GAT', a world-class contemporary ballet by Korean choreographers that just landed in Thailand to officially launch the 'Korea Season 2026' cultural festival in the country.

The event was organized by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in partnership with KOFICE (Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange), with crucial support from the Korean Cultural Center Thailand, which brought the Yunbyul Ballet Company to perform at K-Bank Siam Petchneskul Theater at Siam Square One on May 23, 2026.

The atmosphere on opening night was electric, drawing both Thai and South Korean audiences, theater enthusiasts, and celebrities from various fields. Nearly 30 talented dancers took the stage and delivered a captivating performance, with audiences giving thunderous applause at the show's conclusion.

Decoding 'GAT' (Hat): Ancient Spirit to Contemporary Rhythm in 9 Acts

The heart of this production centers on the 'Gat' (갓), a traditional Korean hat from the Joseon Dynasty with over 500 years of history, serving as the medium for storytelling. The performance is choreographed into 9 acts, each corresponding to different types of historical hats that reflect social class, lifestyle, and distinct emotions.

The narrative unfolds through significant historical hat examples, including the Heungryip (black gat), symbolizing the elegance of gentlemen attending ceremonies or social functions; the Satgat (conical bamboo hat), reflecting the simple lifestyle of commoners or monks during outdoor activities; the Jokduri (bridal crown), representing beauty, tenderness, and sanctity in young women's wedding ceremonies; and the Jurup (red gat), the prestigious hat worn by high-ranking officials with military uniforms. All these elements are translated into graceful movements that flow seamlessly together.

From Inspiration in Historical TV Series to a Monumental Stage Challenge Requiring 3 Years of Development

This Bangkok performance marks Yunbyul Ballet Company's first full international tour. The masterminds behind this artistic innovation are Art Director Yoon Byeol and Choreographer Park So-yeon.

Park So-yeon revealed that the production took three full years to develop and refine. The initial inspiration came from the popularity and power of the historical zombie series 'Kingdom'. The creative process began with extensive historical research and the composition of entirely new music to complement the desired aesthetic.

However, merging ballet with traditional Korean dance proved challenging. Park So-yeon explained: "Technically, ballet emphasizes linear movements, extensions, and upward jumps. In contrast, traditional Korean dance focuses on lowering the body, creating weight and grounded breathing downward. They are complete opposites. What I did was balance the dancers' lower body to move with Korean breathing patterns while maintaining elegance and technique in the upper body."
