Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. wants to carve out his own identity away from his father's shadow at Al Nassr, focusing on building his reputation in Europe. The 41-year-old Ronaldo has lost the opportunity to play alongside his son at Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League after his 16-year-old son expressed his desire to leave the oil-rich nation's club to test his skills in academies of top-tier European teams. Reports indicate that Ronaldo Jr. has attracted interest from major clubs including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, and Sporting Lisbon—his father's former club.

Ronaldo Jr. has drawn attention through his impressive goal-scoring record: 58 goals in 23 appearances for Juventus's U-9 team and 56 goals in 27 matches for Al Nassr's U-15 squad. He has also been selected for Portugal's U-17 national team. However, this decision has caused his father considerable concern, as the young player may face intense media pressure in Europe.

On May 6, 2025, Nitthat Nunsong, director of the Regional Conservation Area Office 3 in Phetchaburi, received a report from Surasakdi Anumethanglor, director of the Phetchaburi Wildlife Conservation Division, along with Itthiphon Changruang, head of the wildlife enforcement unit, and veterinarian Anurak Skulpong. Officers from multiple agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, wildlife conservation promotion staff, prevention and suppression units, Phetchaburi police, and the narcotics suppression unit coordinated to inspect a suspicious gray Toyota truck in Don Khun Huai subdistrict, Cha-Am district, Phetchaburi province.

The search of the truck bed revealed numerous protected animals in boxes, including 13 Moluccan cockatoos, 8 cuscuses, 6 tree kangaroos, 13 echidnas, 1 sugar glider, and 100 snakes of unidentified species. The driver, 49-year-old Songob (surname withheld) from Satun, was taken into custody.

During questioning, Songob confessed to smuggling the animals for resale, having received them from an illegal wildlife trafficking network. Authorities initially charged him with "possessing protected wildlife without permission" under Section 19 of the Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act B.E. 2562. The suspect and seized animals were handed over to Cha-Am police station for legal proceedings, with plans to expand the investigation to the wider trafficking network and conduct further species identification of the protected and CITES-listed animals.

The legendary 'Nam-Chon' pairing is generating buzz again as Thai actress Fern Pimchanok announced she's preparing to travel to China with co-star Mario Maurer for an upcoming event. The announcement came during the Netflix action-romance film premiere for 'Blood Love: The Killer' at Siam Paragon shopping center, where Fern updated fans about their trip amid excitement from fans eagerly awaiting the duo's reunion after a lengthy hiatus from working together. She expressed genuine gratitude for the unwavering support from Chinese fans over the years, noting she'd attempt to learn some Chinese greetings despite never having studied the language.

When asked about security concerns surrounding recent incidents of fan harassment targeting multiple artists, Fern acknowledged she's experienced some uncomfortable moments but emphasized they occur rarely and remain manageable. She shared an anecdote about her manager being slapped while protecting her, but maintained she doesn't worry excessively about such incidents, estimating they've happened only twice in her past ten trips. She dismissed concerns about this upcoming visit, noting she'd only be there for three days with just one event scheduled.

Fern also revealed an emotional moment when her close friend Mind Labhanshal surprised her during Chinese New Year by secretly visiting her home and presenting her with oranges arranged as a baby ultrasound photo—a creative way to announce her pregnancy. Fern tearfully admitted the heartwarming surprise that Mind had long expressed wanting a baby after marriage, and she's now delighted to become an aunt. She confirmed she's preparing gifts for her future nephew or niece and humorously noted she'll be called 'Aunt Fern' by the baby. Though currently without romantic plans, Fern playfully hinted she already has someone in mind for her own future motherhood.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchati Chomklin presided over the opening of the "Low-Carbon Future" collaboration forum, outlining his vision to drive Thailand toward a tangible low-carbon economy.

The minister stressed the importance of private and public sector collaboration in accelerating product value chain development to address global low-carbon trade challenges, with full backing from the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry. This effort aims to elevate Thailand's competitive capabilities as an international business leader while generating practical employment and income for local communities.

Minister Chomklin noted that businesses currently face mounting pressure from climate change, international trade regulations, and increasingly stringent environmental standards, along with growing expectations for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability. The transition to a low-carbon economy is therefore not merely an "option" but a "necessity" that will determine long-term business sector growth.

"Thailand has tremendous potential to drive the transition to a low-carbon society with government support, building on the acceleration of the Draft Climate Change Act, which will systematically integrate policy mechanisms, technology, finance, and business collaboration to produce concrete results at all levels," Suchati said.

On this occasion, the minister congratulated Thai Eastern Group Holdings PLC for successfully developing the "world's first carbon-neutral rubber blocks," a significant milestone for Thailand's rubber industry on the global stage and a testament to the potential of Thai industrial sectors to achieve international sustainability standards.

He also commended Thai Eastern Bio Power PLC for developing a comprehensive waste management center aligned with the circular economy concept and contributing meaningfully to greenhouse gas emission reduction.

The minister praised business partners across all sectors for continuously advancing low-carbon development and expressed confidence that this forum would mark the beginning of stronger collaboration, leading to tangible progress in elevating Thailand's low-carbon value chain.

"I hope this collaboration succeeds and can lead to sustainable low-carbon economic development for the country," Suchati concluded.
