Petchphitchaya Market held a major event featuring the million-baht music group Sriraam Nam Petchr, offering free admission to celebrate the market's anniversary. The atmosphere grew lively from evening onwards as Mae Yak fans and supporters arrived early afternoon to secure seating, undeterred by sun and rain, to watch the full concert performance by Bank and Poi. The popular songs "Jairak Horia Jihlock" and "Saao Isan Ror Rak" drew such large crowds that fans felt the need for extra cooling. Fans arrived with substantial cash donations—hundreds and thousands of baht—which they carefully arranged and strung together as garlands to present to their beloved artists, with the total exceeding 100,000 baht.

Peach Supicha Paitoon, the market owner, cleared the market grounds for the grand event held in the heart of Nakhon Sawan city. The celebration brought the Sriraam Nam Petchr music group to perform at Petchphitchaya Market as part of the anniversary commemoration, aligning with the market's motto "Petchphitchaya—Fresh, Clean, Safe Market." The event was graced by a standing statue of Luang Pu Sila Sirijanto, the 23rd image installation, presented as a blessing for the market's birthday celebration. The performance featured the show "Sawet Chat Luk Choo."

At 10:26 a.m. on July 1, 2026, investigator Phunonth Rueang Ying from Khao Chai Sohn Police Station, along with rescue personnel, responded to a pickup truck that had overturned on the Asia Highway northbound near Ban Koh Thong Som, Moo 12, Khao Chai Sohn Subdistrict, Khao Chai Sohn District, Phatthalung Province.

The accident occurred on a curved section of the highway during rainfall, which had made the road surface slippery. Officers found a Toyota Tiger pickup lying on its side with the front severely crushed after striking a power pole with such force that the cabin collapsed. Inside the vehicle, rescuers found the body of Prasop Chok, 63, trapped in the crushed cabin. Rescue personnel used cutting equipment to extract the body before confirming death at the scene. The passenger, Ms. Chom, 59, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the roadside.

Initial investigation suggests the vehicle lost control while navigating the curve during heavy rain and wet road conditions, then struck the power pole forcefully. This caused the cabin to collapse, trapping the driver inside while ejecting the passenger. Both occupants died at the scene. Document checks revealed both victims were from the same address in Trang Province and are believed to have been husband and wife returning from an errand when the accident occurred.

Property damage was assessed as intact. Authorities are now contacting relatives to claim the bodies and continuing their investigation into the actual cause of the accident for legal proceedings.

During a July 1, 2025 parliamentary session chaired by Deputy Speaker Loetsak Pattanachaikul, the House of Representatives considered the fiscal year 2570 budget bill worth 3.788 trillion baht, proposed by the Cabinet on July 3.

Panida Mongkolswat, a Samut Prakan MP from the Pheu Thai Party, debated the budgets of three independent agencies: the Election Commission (EC), the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), and the State Audit Office (SAO). These agencies collectively received over 10.195 billion baht to maintain political integrity. However, she argued that over the years, these budgets have not been spent efficiently on core missions, and these agencies face questions about transparency and low public confidence, yet no oversight mechanism exists to balance their power.

During her speech, Panida displayed images of ballots used in Senate selection, pointing out irregularities: the ballots were pre-printed with numbered tables and the voting results matched perfectly—odds comparable to winning the lottery jackpot 70 consecutive times. She questioned how the public could trust the EC's electoral transparency given this evidence.

Panida further stated that given the controversial origins of the current Senate, and that the Senate must approve appointees to independent agencies, how can citizens trust their neutrality and independence?

Sanong Thepaksornrang, a Buri Ram MP from the Palang Pracharath Party, objected, arguing her remarks fell outside the budget bill's scope and that Senate selection matters were already under legal process.

Panida then criticized the NACC, alleging it protects corruption by failing to investigate former Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob regarding asset disclosure, despite a Constitutional Court ruling on his stock-hiding case.

Sanong protested again, citing off-topic discussion and explicit mention of an outsider. Chair Loetsak warned Panida about external references and urged her to stay on point.

Panida continued, noting the NACC typically conducts thorough investigations but had not done preliminary checks or questioned involved parties in this case, despite public attention. She presented a blurred image of Saksayam.

When Sanong objected to external images in her presentation, Chair Loetsak ruled against displaying outside individuals. Ekkarat Udoamnauy, a Bangkok MP from Pheu Thai, protested the chair's impartiality, noting the image was blurred and unidentifiable. He requested the chair and objector allow the discussion to proceed. Loetsak clarified that unblurred external images are prohibited, but blurred ones that cannot be identified are permitted, though he preferred avoiding them.

On July 1, 2569, Maj. Chaikrit Potho, commander of Patrol Unit 6, along with Deputy Commander Pol. Col. Narish Prathana Phor, Station Chief Pol. Col. Apiched Satrapsongprom, Assistant Station Chief Pol. Lt. Thadpol Sukpaibun, Pol. Lt. Sarawut Charoenyot, and officers from Phalap Phlai Chai Station 1 arrested 34-year-old Chai and seized 0.64 grams of ice, one shotgun, 20 shotgun rounds, 6 .22 caliber rounds, and .38 caliber ammunition.

The operation began on June 29 when traffic police conducted enforcement in their jurisdiction. On Charoen Krung Road, officers immobilized a white Isuzu vehicle and issued a traffic citation. When Chai arrived at Phalap Phlai Chai Station 1 to pay his fine, his suspicious behavior prompted further investigation. Officers Pol. Sgt. Ranyut Deebuk and Pol. Sgt. Nattapol Muhammed followed Chai to his vehicle and requested a search.

Police discovered 0.64 grams of ice hidden in a black shoulder bag and one shotgun with ammunition concealed behind the driver's seat in a gray weapons bag. During interrogation, Chai admitted the drugs and firearm belonged to him. He stated he purchased ice for 100 baht per packet from an unknown dealer near his residence and bought the gun and ammunition from a friend for approximately 18,000 baht.

Chaiwascharged with possession of Category 1 controlled substances without authorization, possession of firearms and ammunition without a license from the registrar, and carrying firearms in city limits, residential areas, or public places without proper authorization.

To promote educational opportunities, improve youth quality of life in remote areas, and foster environmental conservation awareness, WeLoveGolf Co., Ltd., partnering with TG Cellular World Co., Ltd. and private sector allies, organized the "WELOVEGOLF Goodwill Caravan Helping the World" activity at Ban Kluay School in Dan Chang District, Suphan Buri Province. The opening ceremony was presided over by Plan Suksawaeng, Dan Chang District Chief, with executives, private sector representatives, teachers, and students in attendance.

Beyond delivering essential supplies, the event focused on building environmental knowledge, particularly waste sorting and natural resource management, to instill responsible resource use and positive behavior in youth. The program delivered educational equipment, sports gear, and essentials valued at over 200,000 baht, along with educational activities on waste classification and environmental conservation to raise awareness and build good habits among children and youth.

Sakkdanong Lumphanichy, Director of Ban Kluay School, stated that the activity provided an excellent opportunity to promote and support knowledge about waste sorting and environmental awareness for children. The initiative also provided cleaning equipment, environmental improvements, painting, and facility decoration to address the school's resource gaps.

Dr. Wiroj Sirisattanarak, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Web Service Public Co., Ltd. and WeLoveGolf Co., Ltd., noted that before this activity, WELOVEGOLF, TG, and Huawei held the WELOVEGOLF Tournament Nightzy Ex.2026 golf competition to fundraise, with proceeds supporting youth and community initiatives.

"This school is located in a remote area near forest and natural resource zones, so children should receive environmental knowledge and awareness to develop responsibility toward natural resources and their surroundings. We support educational equipment, sports gear, and essentials to create opportunities and bring smiles to remote area children, fostering environmental consciousness and sustainable community change," Dr. Wiroj said.

Setsanphong Phuangsi, Corporate Communications Manager at TG Cellular World Co., Ltd., added: "The future world is entering an era of AI and full-scale technology. Today's children may grow up to become inventors or developers of new technologies that solve environmental problems, such as smart waste sorting systems or new waste management technologies."
