A tragic accident has claimed the life of Buddhist monk Phra Sakor Tatpakuno Khlang Sung Nuean, 63 years old, 5 rain seasons, after a pickup truck driven by an 11-year-old boy struck a group of monks during their dhutanga (pilgrimage) walk from Wat Roi Phraputthabat Phumonrom in Mukdahan Province toward Amphoe Nam Khun in Ubon Ratchathani Province on July 3, 2569. The accident occurred near Ban Na Siniwal in Mueang District, Mukdahan Province, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries among the monks.

Abbot Vichai Jittadanto of Thung Chai Nuea subdistrict in Nakhon Ratchasima Province traveled to preside over the funeral merit-making ceremony at the Nakhon Ratchasima Youth Center in Pakkathong District. The monk's remains are scheduled to arrive this evening.

According to Abbot Vichai, Phra Sakor was a devoted practitioner who loved solitude and peace. He had orderly maintained his monastic duties and participated in community activities with other monks. After the rainy season retreat last year, he requested permission to undertake dhutanga practice to study and cultivate inner peace, and had informed the temple of his intention to return for the next retreat. Though he never explicitly vowed lifelong ordination, he was deeply committed to practice and study, inspired by Buddhist teachings and dedicated to self-development through wandering pilgrimages.

The abbot emphasized that the loss of such a conscientious practitioner has deeply affected the monastic community. However, this tragic event serves as a reminder that unforeseen accidents can happen to anyone, urging all to live mindfully and remain aware of life's impermanence.

The abbot appealed to all drivers to exercise extra caution when encountering monks on dhutanga walks. He requested that drivers reduce speed, drive attentively, respect traffic laws, and prioritize the safety of all road users to prevent similar tragic incidents in the future.

On July 3, Ms. A (pseudonym), age 30, filed a complaint at the "Sai Yai Tong Rod" coordination center in Bangkok seeking justice and to prove her innocence after being accused of stealing 20,000 baht from a laundromat in Khlong Takhat subdistrict, Potharam district, Ratchaburi province.

Ms. A explained that on the morning of June 27, she brought clothes to wash at the laundromat and needed four washing machines. Finding only two available, she used those first. She noticed two other machines with finished loads but no owners present, so she removed the clothes to a nearby basket to use the machines, finding no money or valuables inside. Shortly after, she saw two children take a basket of clothes out of the shop. She returned home as usual.

About an hour later, she returned to collect her laundry and found 1,520 baht in coins and bills in one machine. Assuming it was her own money left behind, she kept it. That evening on June 28, the owner of the clothes she had removed came to her home accusing her of stealing 20,000 baht left in the washing machine. Ms. A denied the accusation, insisting the 1,520 baht was hers and she never saw such a large sum. The complainant remained convinced and vowed to pursue the case.

On June 29, she went to Potharam police station to file a daily record as evidence, but police said they couldn't act until the complainant formally filed a report. On June 30, police coordinated through her employer to arrange mediation at the station. The complainant insisted she stole the money; Ms. A denied it and declared readiness to fight the case to prove her innocence.

She came forward to Sai Yai Tong Rod because she feared being wrongly charged with a crime she didn't commit and learned the complainant claimed to have video evidence. She worried the footage might show only limited angles or be presented incompletely. She obtained CCTV footage from the laundromat as evidence and is confident it will clearly prove her innocence. More troubling is learning the complainant is the landowner from whom her employer rents space for worker housing. This weighs heavily on her, fearing the dispute could cause problems for her employer.

Thai actor Khaeng Hrutsadith has just wrapped up the warm conclusion of the "Khemjira Must Survive Four-Region Tour" alongside co-stars Naam Ping and Tle First One, which saw them travel to meet fans across all four regions of Thailand. Most recently on July 3, 2026, Khaeng attended the Tory Burch Iconsiam Boutique Grand Opening Event at Iconsiam mall, where he shared his impressions from completing the tour.

Khaeng described the four-region tour as an unforgettable experience, having had the opportunity to meet senior fans from across the country while thanking everyone for their continued support nearly a year after the series ended. He also announced that they have already begun filming a special episode of "Khemjira Must Survive." During this period, he has more time for himself and is refocusing on his health and fitness.

"It was so much fun and an experience I'll never forget," Khaeng said. "It was our first-ever tour concert. Every weekend, we'd fly out on Friday to tour different regions, and the excitement came from visiting each region, trying local food, and checking into hotels. The energy from fans in each region was different—the South was overflowing with screams, and going back to our northern homeland in Chiang Mai to eat local cuisine felt like going home. The four regions were like visiting a family we hadn't seen in a long time."

Each region had its own special character. "Absolutely. The important highlight was the energy from fans and the Doomindig team in each province. The South was overflowing with enthusiasm and screams from entrance to inside the venue. The energy in each region was full-throttle, and most importantly, our home region in the North—going to Chiang Mai and eating northern food felt like returning home. Each of the four regions was like reuniting with family we hadn't seen in a long time."

When asked if their fan family grew, Khaeng confirmed it did. "During the series filming, we were only working in Bangkok and didn't get to meet fans in other provinces. But now we did. Each fan gave us local souvenirs from their regions, mostly preserved food we could take back to Bangkok."

Regarding what the tour gave him personally, Khaeng explained: "It gave us many things. Each region presented different challenges—flight issues, venue problems. What was important was how we adapted to these problems and solved them on the spot. Sound issues that we couldn't control had to be managed during the show. Each region had a different show design, and we tried many things and developed many aspects that showed real change."

Asked if he's recovered from exhaustion, Khaeng responded positively. "I'm very recovered. Even though 'Khemjira Must Survive' ended almost a year ago, fans have continued supporting us. I'm so grateful to everyone for supporting Khaeng-Naam Ping and Tle-First One. They say they want us to stay together like this. Soon there's a special episode coming—we just finished filming yesterday."

When asked about the special episode filming, he shared: "We filmed from morning until dark. I really miss that atmosphere. It felt like we returned with so much energy, and I felt as excited about the work as when we first started filming the initial episodes."

On how the special episode filming went, Khaeng explained: "As everyone knows, the special episode will be a continuation that expands the love storyline. Audiences should get to see the romantic mood, but we still have that essence of 'Khemjira Must Survive' with ghost elements. People are curious which ghost character will appear in this story. I can say the supernatural elements remain the same. As for my physique, I now have time to hit the gym, so we'll see."

Updating briefly on his current life, Khaeng mentioned he's getting more rest recently.

Former Thai sprinter and two-time Southeast Asian Games gold medallist Apisit Promkaew has died after a motorcycle crash in Pathum Thani.

Thailand's athletics community is mourning the loss of Apisit, a former national sprinter and SEA Games champion, who was killed late Thursday near his residence in Khlong Luang district, Pathum Thani province.

According to Pol. Maj. Gen. Surapong Ariyamongkol, Vice President and Secretary-General of the Athletics Association of Thailand, Apisit's motorcycle crashed into an electricity pole. He suffered a fatal neck injury and was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

His family is arranging to transport his body to his hometown in Phatthalung province for funeral rites. The Athletics Association of Thailand said it will host one night of funeral prayers.

News of his death prompted an outpouring of grief from Thailand's athletics community, with former teammates, fellow athletes, relatives and friends sharing tributes and condolences on social media.

Apisit represented Thailand in the men's 4×100-metre relay and won gold medals at two consecutive Southeast Asian Games: the 27th edition in Myanmar in 2013 and the 28th edition in Singapore in 2015.

Fans are buzzing with theories after Thai artist Wonderframe (Supackchai Sukhbaiyen) uncovered archival footage from her trainee days at age 14 in South Korea. The recovered videos show her participating in auditions and training in vocals, dance, and on-camera performance—rare footage that many fans have never seen before. It offers a glimpse into a pivotal chapter of her journey before becoming the recognized artist she is today.

The viral moment, however, centers on internet users' sharp observation of a young trainee girl appearing briefly in the clips. Many commenters speculate this could be Lisa Lalisa as a child, generating widespread speculation about whether the two artists were in the same trainee group.

While there has been no official confirmation that the girl in the video is Lisa, the footage has renewed fan interest in Wonderframe's past, particularly her training and audition years in South Korea from a young age. Before becoming the musician known today, she pursued the trainee path, undergoing rigorous training, competitions, and overseas experiences that shaped her as an artist.

Recently, Wonderframe has been collaborating with international artists, producers, and teams, leading fans to speculate whether this footage signals a new chapter and hints at upcoming international projects in the near future.
