Dr. B, or Pannipha Olalapattammagkit, 52, owner of a prominent tissue paper brand business, has appealed through the media asking Jenny to help purchase the first house of Lily, which Mae Ked had mortgaged. Jenny previously provided 5 million baht to redeem the house, but ultimately it fell into someone else's name.

Pannipha revealed she has been close to Mae Ked because they lived near each other in Songkhla province. In March 2025, Mae Ked needed cash and mortgaged the house for 5 million baht. Out of trust, Pannipha lent the full amount.

However, Mae Ked never paid interest or redeemed the loan. Pannipha was forced to transfer the house title to her own name temporarily to protect her legal rights.

When the story became news, Pannipha expected Jenny would buy the house back for Mae Ked. After family drama ended, Mae Ked contacted her asking about the house price, saying Jenny would be the buyer.

Pannipha initially offered to sell at 5.5 million baht including interest, but Jenny negotiated down to 5 million baht, which Pannipha accepted without interest. Jenny then requested 4.5 million baht, asking Pannipha to consider it as an outside purchase rather than a mortgage redemption. After 1-2 days of consideration, Pannipha agreed, intending to invest the money elsewhere.

However, when she called back with the answer, Jenny did not pick up. There has been no contact for nearly six months since.

Pannipha confirmed she is not angry or has problems with Mae Ked or Jenny. On the contrary, she still cares for them. She emphasized that she has helped Mae Ked many times before, including lending 400,000 baht to redeem a car Mae Ked had pawned, as she understands people who have struggled financially like herself.

She added that she wanted to sell the house back to the family because the four houses are adjacent with no fencing between them. She also learned that Lily's house in Songkhla had suffered flooding, forcing the family to rent a condominium temporarily.

The case awaits Jenny's response to clarify what actually happened regarding this house matter.

Chiang Mai's Provincial Electricity Authority has mobilized staff to clean over 200 underground electrical control boxes that encircle the city moat and line Tha Phae Road, which have been repeatedly vandalized by graffiti artists. The boxes, part of Chiang Mai's transformation into a city with underground power lines, have been defaced with spray paint and line drawings that damage the city's appearance and undermine its tourism image.

Authority officials expressed frustration with the ongoing vandalism, noting that today's cleanup was completed but additional incidents are expected. The PEA has announced a reward program for information leading to arrests. Anyone with tips can contact the Provincial Electricity Authority at 053-206291 or 241816.

Vandalism of electrical control boxes is a serious offense. Offenders face fines ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 baht, imprisonment of six months to two years, or both. The PEA is designated as the injured party and will pursue prosecution. Rewards for informants will be paid from fines collected by the authority.

An 11-year-old boy took his parents' pickup truck and drove it away from home, resulting in a crash into a Buddhist shrine that killed 10 monks and injured many others. The boy's mother and grandmother have denied ever teaching him to drive. On July 6, 2025, Watcharaporn Phiw-kham, director of the Special Education Center in Mukdahan Province, revealed that the child initially struggled with development, social adjustment, and language skills beginning in 2021, but gradually improved and learned to follow basic rules and interact with peers. She confirmed never seeing the boy drive the pickup truck himself, only sitting in the front passenger seat with his grandmother and mother. However, she noted that the child has a distinctive ability to remember, learn, and imitate things he finds interesting, suggesting he likely observed and memorized driving from watching his grandmother and mother transport him. The 11-year-old boy remains under the care of officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security as part of child protection procedures.

On July 3, 2026, the Thai Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (THAICID) announced the 'THAICID-NWIKS 2026 Network Week for Integrated Learning' at the Royal Irrigation Department's 99-Year Building on Samsaen Road in Bangkok. The event will bring together water management experts from Thailand and abroad between July 8-10 at Kasetsart University's 80-Year Building in Kamphaeng Saen district, Nakhon Pathom province.

Under the theme 'Smarter Water for a Stronger Future,' the event aims to elevate national water management through innovation, digital technology, and cross-sector collaboration to address climate change impacts on water resources, agriculture, and food security. Yongyos Niamthrap, an irrigation authority expert and event chairman, stated that modern water management requires not only adequate water allocation but also knowledge, technology, smart systems, and research innovations combined with multi-sector cooperation to create efficient, flexible, and resilient water management systems.

The three-day program features intensive academic and technological activities. On July 8, the 19th National Conference on Irrigation and Drainage will launch, with knowledge-sharing forums on Smart Irrigation, IoT, Remote Sensing, and Climate-Smart Water Management, plus water and agricultural research presentations. July 9 will feature Dongtan Software Day, showcasing water management technology with experts from global organizations including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Deltares, covering sediment management, flood risk systems, dam safety, salinity forecasting, and water quality monitoring. The event concludes on July 10 with the INWEPF-Thailand forum titled 'Farmers' Future and Low-Water Rice Cultivation: Prosperous Paddies Model,' bringing together academics, international representatives, JICA officials, and model farmers to share water management approaches for improving agricultural productivity and reducing water use.

The event welcomes Young Professionals and students to present water resources research and innovations, fostering a new generation of water management experts. THAICID emphasizes the event is open to farmers, water users, teachers, students, and the public interested in climate change and water resource management. Participants can network, exchange experiences, and participate in activities with opportunities to win prizes, food, and agricultural products.

Defense Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's deputy General Adul Bunyatharmcharoen disputes Cambodia's allegation that Thai soldiers threw explosives causing Cambodian troop injuries, suggesting they may have stepped on existing mines instead. Speaking at Royal Thai Air Force headquarters on July 6, General Adul said the exact cause of the incident cannot be confirmed, but there is a possibility Cambodian troops stepped on mines already present in the area. He emphasized Thailand maintains strict control measures, clear rules of engagement, close command oversight, and forces ready to defend national sovereignty, all operating under the ceasefire agreement from December 27, 2024.

Regarding diplomatic resolution, General Adul noted that Thailand and Cambodia are inseparable, but the current situation stems from Cambodia linking border issues to internal politics. Thailand's priority is building public confidence in the government's ability to protect sovereignty and ensure border residents' safety through coordinated national efforts.

On the sediment-trapping dam near Ban Hat Lek in Trat province, built by Cambodian private interests, General Adul acknowledged it is located in Cambodian territory and has created a port for tourist boats. However, the dam causes problems as sediment accumulation leads to seawater erosion of Thailand's Ban Hat Lek coastline. He said the two countries must discuss solutions, noting the issue has persisted since 1998 and he has already inspected the site.

When asked if UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982) mechanisms should be used, General Adul agreed, noting the dam is outside Thai territory and just 300 meters from the maritime boundary marker 71. He acknowledged concerns about threats to Thailand's maritime sovereignty and emphasized discussions are needed once conditions improve. Regarding Cambodia's leader Hun Sen ordering the dam not be dismantled, General Adul said he had no comment.
