An exclusive interview with the cast and director of the thriller film The Devil's Mouth, which was shot extensively across Thailand. The movie follows five teenagers on an adventure along Thailand's scenic coastline who join a diving expedition to explore a remote underwater cave called "The Devil's Mouth," only to discover something sinister and deadly lurking beneath the surface.

The production filmed across multiple Thai locations including Bangkok, Krabi, Mae Hong Son, and Samut Prakan, starring rising international talents Kathryn Newton, Lana Condor, Gavin Casalegno, Nico Hiraga, and Tommi Rose, alongside globally renowned Thai actor Tem Thapthimthong. The film is now available to watch on Prime Video.

Interview with actor Tem Thapthimthong:

On his initial reaction to the script and joining the project: I felt incredibly proud to be part of this film because it was shot throughout Thailand, in both the northern and southern regions, showcasing the beauty of our country to the world. In the story, I play a tour guide who takes foreign tourists to explore an underwater cave. I was very excited to learn that the film had underwater scenes, so I prepared myself with diving training well before filming began.

On his character as a tour guide: I played an underwater cave diving guide who leads foreign tourists on an expedition in a cave called "Devil's Mouth." When discussing the role with the director, he wanted me to play it as naturally as possible—as a knowledgeable local guide familiar with the cave and unaware of anything unusual, until unexpected events occur. Then I had to try to help all the tour members survive and escape. This character wasn't difficult to play because it emphasized authenticity and the natural behavior of a local guide.

On physical preparation for the demanding underwater and climbing scenes: About a month before filming began, the six main cast members attended a workshop together at a two-meter-deep swimming pool. We had professional diving instructors teach us free diving skills—holding our breath while diving underwater without oxygen tanks—and basic scuba equipment use. We trained in the pool almost a full month, practicing breath-holding techniques since actual filming required scenes where we'd need to hold our breath underwater. Personally, I already enjoyed swimming, so it wasn't difficult. It was a fun experience and helped all the cast members bond before filming started.

On the most challenging or memorable scenes: Our first shoot was a canoe paddling scene into a cave entrance in Mae Hong Son province. After that...

It's no joke—a young man has shared his experience with frequent, easy bowel movements that escalated to a serious condition requiring hospitalization and diagnosis of intestinal inflammation. On July 31, TikTok user @landmadebyhand posted a warning to people who frequently use the bathroom and experience loose stools, saying it should not be taken lightly and can lead to hospitalization.

The poster, currently in hospital wear undergoing treatment, explained that he initially presented with severe lower abdominal pain. Doctors initially suspected appendicitis, but X-rays revealed inflammation of the colon, which disrupted normal bowel function. When doctors asked if he was constipated, he explained he was the opposite—he had always experienced easy, frequent bowel movements. However, over the past month, his bowel habits changed: stools became loose and foul-smelling, followed by indigestion, gas, and bloating, until severe abdominal pain forced him to seek medical care. He has now been hospitalized for four days without solid food while awaiting further endoscopic examination.

In his latest update, the poster revealed the diagnosis: a pouch-like formation in the intestine with pus and inflammation, approximately 3 centimeters in size, causing severe pain throughout his abdomen. Despite not drinking alcohol, smoking, eating spicy foods, consuming fermented fish, or eating unusual foods, he still developed these abnormalities. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and suggests that anyone experiencing similar changes should try adjusting their lifestyle habits. His main message is that listening to your body is crucial.

The SUPER SUN pop-up store, owned by actor C Pruksachai, officially opened for the first time in Thailand on July 31 at Siam Center's Atrium 2 on the ground floor, running through August 9, 2026. The actor personally attended the grand opening and shared his excitement about seeing his brand, which he has spent over three years developing and designing with personal input on every detail, finally materialize in physical retail form.

C revealed that the pop-up launch represents a major milestone for the brand, which previously operated exclusively online and held two pop-up events in Japan. He admitted to losing sleep before opening day due to a mix of excitement and anxiety, but expressed immense pride in the finished product and gratitude for his family's encouragement. The pop-up investment exceeded six figures, reflecting his commitment to giving customers a full sensory experience of the brand's identity and craftsmanship.

When asked about his design philosophy, C explained that every aspect of the brand stems from his personal creative vision, though he works with a dedicated team. He noted that while he dreams of opening a permanent flagship store, the pop-up format allows flexibility as the brand expands. Looking ahead, he plans to host pop-ups annually in Thailand and has already scheduled a showcase (not a pop-up) in South Korea next month. He expressed deep satisfaction when fans wear his brand's clothing, which he designs to give each wearer their own unique identity. The actor also credited his family, particularly his mother who came to offer prayers at the venue, for their unwavering support throughout the three-year journey from concept to opening day.

On July 31, 2026, police at Mae Yao Station in Chiang Rai responded to reports of a fatal shooting in a residential area in Mae Yao subdistrict. Officers discovered the body of a 55-year-old man, identified as Ja Khuea (surname withheld), lying dead from a gunshot wound to the head. The shooter, identified as Nikhom (surname withheld), a 45-year-old village assistant, surrendered to police immediately.

Investigations revealed that Ja Khuea had stabbed Nikhom's 24-year-old son, Sithee, on the arm with a knife. Witnessing his son's injury, Nikhom drew a 9mm pistol and fired at Ja Khuea's head, killing him at the scene. Police have taken Nikhom into custody and are preparing legal charges.

YouTube will continue to pay ad revenue from Hulun Solo's travel videos to his family, with viewers effectively helping support them by watching his clips. Armon Sruaptweedham, director of the Department of Intellectual Property, explained copyright protections following the death of travel YouTuber Hulun Solo in Georgia.

Videos created by Hulun Solo that are advertised receive copyright protection for 50 years from their first publication on YouTube, under Section 21 of the Copyright Act B.E. 2537. Copyright is treated as property that can be transferred or inherited just like houses, cars, bank deposits, and land.

When a copyright owner dies, if they have left a will, copyright rights pass to the named beneficiary. If there is no will, copyright rights pass to legal heirs in order of inheritance: children, parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and spouses—all of whom are considered legal heirs.

This means YouTube will continue paying advertising revenue from Hulun Solo's videos as long as they receive views, with all income going directly to his family. Viewers can now help support Hulun's family simply by watching his videos to completion on YouTube.
