On July 1, 2025, the Constitutional Court unanimously rejected a petition filed by Nattida Nikrodhangkur seeking a ruling under Article 213 of the Constitution. The petitioner challenged the Election Commission and its office for printing barcodes on party-list parliamentary ballots, claiming this exceeded the approved budget allocation for QR codes only and violated ballot secrecy and voting rights under Articles 3, 25, and 41(3) of the Constitution.

After deliberation, the court found that the facts presented did not demonstrate that the petitioner had been directly harmed or had suffered damages from the Election Commission's actions. The court characterized the complaint as merely an expression of opinion unsupported by reasoned argument explaining how ballot secrecy had been compromised.

The court determined the petition did not conform to the criteria, procedures, and conditions outlined in the Constitutional Court Procedure Act of 2018, Articles 46(1) and 46(2), and therefore the petitioner could not proceed with a constitutional petition under Article 213.

Residents from Lam Duan subdistrict in Krasan district, Buriram province have lodged a complaint with the provincial Ombudsman's Office against a village headman, seeking disciplinary action and his removal from office. The residents accuse the headman of repeatedly organizing illegal hi-lo gambling games with villagers, despite previously announcing that the village should be drug-free and having reported other residents to police for illegal gambling.

After initially filing a complaint with Krasan district approximately two months ago without resolution, villagers escalated the matter to the provincial level to ensure proper investigation and disciplinary proceedings. On July 1, 2026, district chief Terdphan Krombthong stated that the district office had not neglected the case and established a fact-finding committee in mid-June 2026. The committee summoned both complainants and the accused village headman, who denied the allegations. The investigation is currently in the stage of interviewing additional witnesses and gathering evidence to determine whether the headman actually committed the offenses. The fact-finding process must be completed within 15 days, after which disciplinary action may be initiated if evidence supports the allegations. The severity of any potential penalties will depend on the gravity of the misconduct.

Millions of insects have invaded Wat Soi Wong School in Samphi Noi subdistrict, Kaeng Hang Maeo district, Chachoengsao province, on July 1, 2569, alarming teachers, students, and parents. Inspections found large numbers of the creatures—which locals call "seam centipedes"—scattered throughout classrooms, storage rooms, and unused rest areas. The insects have hard, dark skin with patterns resembling centipedes and have a frightening appearance. Despite multiple cleaning operations by the school, the insects continue to reappear regularly, causing significant concern among parents, especially those with young children who rest or conduct activities indoors, who fear the creatures could crawl into children's ears or mouths. School officials suspect the massive infestation originated from an adjacent rubber plantation where sawdust is applied as soil fertilizer, creating ideal conditions for rapid breeding and migration into the school area. Teachers and parent representatives have urgently requested that local authorities conduct immediate inspections and develop solutions to resolve this problem as quickly as possible to ensure student safety and hygiene.

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.
