Weather Alert Today: Meteorological Department Warns of Thunderstorms Across 38 Provinces

Thailand's Meteorological Department warns of thunderstorms and strong winds affecting 38 provinces through April 27, with northern regions facing pre-monsoon storms and hail expected April 28 to May 1.

26 Apr Khaosod

The Thai Meteorological Department issued a 24-hour weather forecast on April 27, 2024, warning of thunderstorms and strong winds across 38 provinces, with Bangkok and its vicinity not spared from the impact. Northern Thailand will experience rising temperatures with hot to very hot conditions during daytime, alongside scattered thunderstorms and gusty winds caused by a heat-induced low-pressure system. Southern regions will see localized thunderstorms due to easterly and southeasterly winds affecting the Gulf of Thailand, southern provinces, and the Andaman Sea. The public is advised to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor activities, and take precautions against thunderstorm hazards and strong winds.

Looking ahead, northern Thailand will face pre-monsoon storms between April 28 and May 1, featuring thunderstorms, strong winds, hail, and possible lightning strikes, initially affecting the northeastern, northern, and eastern regions before moving to central Thailand, Bangkok, and surrounding areas. Dust accumulation in northern Thailand remains above acceptable levels due to heat haze concentration exceeding air dispersion capacity, prompting authorities to recommend N95 mask use outdoors.

Detailed regional forecasts show the northern region experiencing hot to very hot conditions with 20% thunderstorm probability; the northeastern region with 30% thunderstorm chance; the central region with 10% thunderstorms and strong gusts; the eastern region with 20% thunderstorm coverage and strong winds; and southern regions with scattered thunderstorms. Temperature ranges vary by region, with highs reaching 34-41°C in northern areas and lows between 21-28°C across regions, accompanied by varying wind speeds and sea conditions.

Autopsy Results Released: 7-Year-Old Boy Found Dead in Water, Police Question Mother Again as She Maintains Son Drowned Accidentally

Autopsy results confirm a 7-year-old boy found dead in an Udon Thani pond likely died from drowning, but police are questioning his mother again after discovering multiple injuries including lacerations around his eyes, ears, and neck.

26 Apr Khaosod

The autopsy results have been released in the case of 7-year-old Nattiwat, who was found dead in a pond near Baan Duang district in Udon Thani province after going missing for several days. The medical examiner concluded the boy "likely died from drowning," though the report detailed ten additional findings including torn lacerations around both eyes, the right ear, neck, and lips, along with bruising on the face and withered, pale hands.

Deputy Superintendent Nattapong Songsom of Baan Duang Police Station has called Nattiwat's mother, Khamnuai, back for additional questioning as investigators consider whether the death was an accident or homicide. The mother maintains her conviction that her son drowned and repeatedly defended her new husband, saying that despite their marriage being less than a year old, he is devoted and loving toward her son, earning money diligently for the family and caring for Nattiwat even more than his biological father would.

Police have conducted a follow-up investigation at the site, with the mother present. She became emotional, kneeling by the pond's edge to pay respects to her son. Regarding suspicions about the orderly placement of shoes at the scene, the mother explained that her son typically arranged his shoes neatly but sometimes threw them carelessly, and frequently wore them on the wrong feet depending on his mood. Rescue personnel measured the pond depth, finding it ranged from approximately 170 centimeters at its deepest points to shallower areas with muddy bottoms. The mother theorized her son may have slipped while trying to catch fish in the deeper section. Police, however, have not ruled out the possibility of foul play and continue their investigation to determine the true cause of death.

Former Community Leader Shoots Journalist to Death, Slashes Female Journalist and Sister with Knife Before Fleeing

A former community leader in Lamphun shot and killed a local journalist outside a noodle shop on April 26, then slashed two women with a machete before fleeing; the attack stemmed from escalating parking disputes.

26 Apr Khaosod

At 9:30 p.m. on April 26, Lamphun's Radio Center 191 received reports of a shooting and stabbing attack near a noodle shop beside the former Inter-Tech College in Sri Phong Chai community, Phaholyothin Road, Chomphu Sub-district, Muang District, Lamphun Province. The incident left one person dead and two others critically injured. Police from Khlong Nakhon Station, forensic teams, medical examiners from Lamphun Hospital, and rescue units rushed to the scene.

The deceased was identified as Chaiwut (surname withheld), approximately 50 years old, a restaurant employee at Lamphun Wiangthong Hotel and local journalist. He was shot once in the chest and died at the scene. The two injured women were Panutnda (or Bee), 53, a local journalist, stabbed multiple times in the head, back, and hands; and Iv, approximately 49, his sister, slashed in the head and body in several places with critical injuries. Both were rushed to Lamphun Hospital.

Investigations revealed the suspect is Tha, a former community leader who operates a noodle shop adjacent to the incident location. Prior conflicts existed between the parties over parking disputes, which escalated into arguments and loud disturbances. Panutnda had texted her sister warning of potential violence. When Chaiwut opened the door to assess the situation, the suspect shot him with a shotgun. The attacker then grabbed a machete and charged at Panutnda inside the room without hesitation. As she attempted to hide under a bed, her sister heard the gunshot and rushed to help but was also severely slashed. The suspect then fled on a black scooter motorcycle.

The suspect's wife stated she was tidying the shop when the incident occurred and only heard the gunshot and witnessed her husband's attack. She was questioned by officers for detailed investigation. Police are actively pursuing the suspect for prosecution while the media community mourns the loss of a dedicated and well-liked colleague, calling for swift arrest.

26 Apr Khaosod

The company behind Crocodile Brand liniment has commented on the incident involving influencer Bird Wanwangwang, who used the medicated oil instead of talcum powder on Songkran celebrants in Phra Pradaeng. The company confirmed they have contacted the content creator and will closely monitor and take appropriate action.

On April 26, 2026, Bird Wanwangwang posted a video from a Songkran celebration in Phra Pradaeng where she used Crocodile Brand liniment instead of talcum powder, diluting it in water and applying it to the faces and bodies of festival participants. This is considered highly dangerous, and the video showed the influencer unaware of the risks and potential harm to those exposed to the medicated oil.

Meanwhile, the Facebook page "So Pao - This Requires Attention" also highlighted the issue, stating: "This year's Songkran in Phra Pradaeng saw 'Bird Wanwangwang' take the prank too far, using 'Crocodile Brand liniment' instead of powder and applying it to the faces and bodies of people playing in the water, including children."

After the post went viral, many people criticized the action. Importantly, the Crocodile Brand liniment company itself commented, stating:

The company has already coordinated with the relevant content creator to request removal of the content from all social media channels. This is because the content involved incorrect product usage outside its intended purpose and posed safety risks to consumers and the public.

The company emphasizes proper product usage according to instructions and prioritizes safety. The company will closely monitor the situation and take appropriate action. Regards, Crocodile Corporation Limited.

After the company's statement, many comments followed, with most suggesting legal action against the influencer, and others expressing similar sentiments about taking the matter to court.

7-Year-Old Appears in Rescuer's Dream, Claims He Didn't Drown; Stepfather Responds Heatedly Over Crime Scene Investigation Timing

A 7-year-old boy found dead in a Thai pond allegedly appeared in a rescuer's dream claiming he didn't drown, while his stepfather denied accusations of suspicious behavior at the crime scene. Police are investigating whether the child's dea

26 Apr Khaosod

A 7-year-old boy appeared in a rescue worker's dream, asking for help and saying he did not drown, while pointing at someone. The stepfather strongly disputed accusations about his absence from the crime scene when the body was discovered, maintaining that he only asked about the time of death and does not believe it was murder.

On April 26, 2026, Nattiew, 7 years old, was found dead from drowning in a pond in the middle of a sugarcane field in Nong Kanonsima village, Ban Jan subdistrict, Ban Dung district, Udon Thani province, after disappearing from home for several days. Many people questioned whether the boy's drowning was genuine. Police sent the body for autopsy to determine the true cause of death.

Most recently, Nayapramouan, 44, the stepfather, told media that reports claimed he did not visit the scene because he was taking his wife to the hospital, as she had fainted. While at the hospital, rescue workers informed him they had found the boy. He was relieved and asked the rescuer how they found him. The rescuer replied, "Please don't make me say." He then asked the rescuer not to tell the boy's mother yet.

When asked by reporters if he inquired about the time of death during the ambulance ride, Nayapramouan admitted he did ask, saying he was simply curious about the time of death. He noted the body appeared bloated but had nothing else remarkable. However, he does not suspect murder and only wanted to know the time of death. He questioned why reporters claimed he didn't visit the scene, noting he was at the hospital and couldn't visit the location anyway.

Regarding claims that Nattiew was rude, Nayapramouan said this was true and the villagers confirm it—sometimes the boy spoke well, sometimes not. He said discipline involved only striking the legs, never the head. Regarding Nattiew appearing in the rescuer's dream saying, "Help me, I didn't drown," Nayapramouan said it's unclear, but questioned the motive for killing a child. What would be gained by murder—robbing a child or the child insulting someone? A small child has nothing to steal. If it were murder, why kill such a young child? He believes Nattiew likely wandered far while following a dog and was looking for crabs and fish.

Meanwhile, King, 17, a volunteer rescuer, said he visited the scene yesterday. However, last night he dreamed that the boy told him, "Help me, I didn't drown," while pointing at someone. King said he doesn't know who the person was because he couldn't remember faces in the dream.

Bird Wan Waang Does It Again: Uses Cement Adhesive Instead of Powder at Phra Prathang Songkran Festival, Reveals Serious Health Risks

Content creator Bird Wan Waang applied cement adhesive to Songkran festival participants instead of powder, a dangerous prank that can cause chemical burns, severe eye damage, and permanent vision loss.

26 Apr Khaosod

Bird Wan Waang has made headlines again after pulling a dangerous stunt at Phra Prathang's Songkran festivities. Instead of using traditional powder, the content creator mixed cement adhesive in a container and applied it to unsuspecting festival participants, captioning the video "Is this how they play Songkran powder at Phra Prathang?" In the footage, Bird displayed a package of crocodile-branded cement adhesive, mixed it in a plastic bucket while wearing plastic gloves, then went out to splash the unknown substance on Songkran celebrants.

The "Drama-addict" page subsequently detailed the hazards of cement adhesive, which contains portland cement, silica sand, and additional chemical compounds. When exposed to moisture or water, these ingredients become highly alkaline and can cause severe harm to the human body in multiple ways:

1. Skin Contact: Hazards: Cement in the adhesive extracts moisture from skin, causing dryness, tightness, redness, itching, and irritation. Prolonged contact or exposure to sweaty or wet skin can result in chemical burns, dermatitis, and skin peeling. Solution: Rinse immediately with clean water and soap thoroughly. Avoid scratching affected areas. Seek medical attention if reactions are severe.

2. Eye Exposure (Extremely Dangerous): Hazards: The alkaline cement dust reacts with tear fluid, causing severe irritation, burning sensation, red eyes, and conjunctivitis. Without immediate rinsing, it can cause deep corneal scarring or lead to permanent vision loss.

Aytthem signals need to reset spokesperson team, backs 'Lisa' to take over, says she can make complex issues easy to understand

Former Thai Khadi Party spokesperson Prisat Wachasindu is stepping down after more than two years, endorsing fellow MP Phakamon Nunnanont to replace him, citing her ability to communicate complex issues clearly to the public.

26 Apr Khaosod

On April 26, 2026, Prisat Wachasindu, a list-based MP and former spokesperson for the Thai Khadi Party, posted on Facebook stating that over the past 2-3 years, while serving as party spokesperson since the Krathin Rai Party period through the Thai Khadi Party, he has worked diligently based on three core principles: 1) emphasizing communication to build public trust through broad feedback, accurate information, consistent principles, and addressing public concerns; 2) transforming the spokesperson team's role from sole communicator to a support unit enabling other MPs and party members to communicate effectively on their areas of responsibility; and 3) working as a unified team that leverages individual strengths while maintaining message consistency across diverse communication formats to reach all segments of the public.

Prisat noted that given the dynamic political landscape and challenges around misinformation, the spokesperson team has identified numerous communication tasks requiring acceleration and improvement since the election. He has consequently requested a personnel change from party leadership and spent two months planning the transition. Prisat expressed genuine pleasure in handing over the spokesperson duties and leadership to Ms. Phakamon Nunnanont, a list-based MP and current party spokesperson. He highlighted that he has worked closely with her since joining Krathin Rai Party in 2022 and has learned much from her. Her ability to simplify complex issues and reach a broad audience is evident to anyone following her debates and work. Prisat concluded: "Moving forward, as the party undertakes deep intellectual work on critical issues and intensifies efforts to energize supporters, persuade the undecided, and win over skeptics, I believe Khun Phakamon will be a vital force for the Thai Khadi Party in improving this nation. I thank all my colleagues in the spokesperson team, the party for its trust, and the media for the opportunity to work together."
