TOA Posts 30% First Quarter Profit Growth, Accelerating International Expansion

TOA Paint reported 30% first quarter profit growth to 953 million baht despite Thailand's economic slowdown, driven by strong sales in architectural paints and expansion across Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.

16 May Khaosod

TOA Paint (Thailand) Public Company Limited, Thailand's leading manufacturer of paints, construction chemicals, and building materials, reported first quarter 2025 results showing continued growth amid Thailand's economic slowdown. Total revenue reached 5.681 billion baht, up 4% year-over-year, with net profit of 953 million baht, growing 30%.

Jatuphat Tangkaraveekun, TOA's Chief Executive Officer, attributed the growth to strong performance across core product lines—architectural paints and construction chemicals—in both the Thai market and international territories. Sales continued to expand particularly in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, reflecting the success of the company's product portfolio strategy tailored to meet local consumer preferences in each market. The company aims to establish itself as a Total Solution for Living leader in building materials across all markets while driving sustainable growth both domestically and regionally.

To counter slowdown in the new housing market, TOA adjusted its strategy by diversifying its product mix and expanding its repair and renovation product segment, which continues to show strong demand. Construction chemicals, building materials, mortar, gypsum boards, tiles, sanitaryware, and smart bathroom innovations now play crucial roles in revenue generation and business stability.

In March 2025, the company accelerated risk management measures to address petro-chemical supply chain volatility stemming from Middle East developments. Strategies included sourcing raw materials from alternative suppliers and introducing pre-tested alternative materials to mitigate tight supply impacts. The company also adjusted production and sales planning while implementing appropriate pricing strategies to maintain competitiveness and offset rising costs.

Despite expectations of increased energy and raw material cost volatility from the second quarter onward, Jatuphat expressed confidence that efficient cost management and comprehensive risk management practices would enable the company to maintain business strength and sustain continued growth.

UAE Accelerates Construction of New Oil Pipeline to Double Export Capacity as Hormuz Strait Remains Unstable

The UAE is fast-tracking construction of a new oil pipeline through Fujairah to double export capacity and bypass the unstable Hormuz Strait, expected to open in 2027 as regional tensions disrupt global energy supplies.

16 May Khaosod

The UAE is accelerating construction of a new West-East oil pipeline that will pass through Fujairah in the northeast, aiming to double export capacity and significantly reduce dependence on the restricted shipping lanes of the Hormuz Strait. Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed directed the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to fast-track the project, which is currently under construction and expected to become operational in 2027. This initiative comes amid growing concerns over the Hormuz Strait situation, where Iran has effectively blockaded one of the world's critical energy shipping routes following attacks between the US, Israel, and Iran on February 28. The disruption has reduced global crude oil supplies by approximately one-fifth, causing oil prices to surge and prompting fuel rationing in some countries while raising recession fears due to rising inflation. The UAE already operates the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), also known as the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline, which can transport up to 1.8 million barrels daily and has proven vital as the UAE seeks to maximize oil exports from the Oman Gulf coast. Currently, only the UAE and Saudi Arabia among Gulf producers have pipelines bypassing the Strait, while Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, and Bahrain rely almost entirely on it for oil transportation.

Bayern Munich Extends Contracts for Two Star Goalkeepers Neuer and Ulreich by One Year Each

Bayern Munich extended contracts for veteran goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich by one year each, with the 40-year-old Neuer having made 597 appearances since 2011.

15 May Khaosod

Bayern Munich has successfully extended contracts with two accomplished goalkeepers, Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich, adding one more year to each deal. The 40-year-old Neuer joined Bayern in 2011 and has become a cornerstone of the club's success, having made 597 appearances for the Bavarian giants. Ulreich, 37, previously played for Bayern from 2015-2020 before departing and returning in 2021. Though serving primarily as a backup, he has logged 104 matches for the club. Neuer commented, "I took considerable time with my decision and I'm very happy now. The goalkeepers in our team are united and constantly strive to raise our standards. We push each other and have always been fully prepared for competition." Bayern plans to gradually elevate young prospect Jonas Urbig as their primary goalkeeper in the future, which is expected to reduce playing time for both Neuer and Ulreich.

15 May Khaosod

Middlesbrough has issued a statement demanding that Southampton be stripped of their spot in the English Football League Championship playoff final following an ongoing EFL investigation into the club. During the semi-final match, which ended 1-1 before Southampton's 2-1 extra-time victory, Southampton was accused of violating league rules by covertly observing and recording Middlesbrough's training session. The EFL announced the hearing is expected to commence on May 19 or potentially earlier, pending confirmation, with a decision to be rendered as quickly as possible, though a firm schedule has yet to be finalized. The EFL also indicated that the investigation could result in the Championship final between Southampton and Hull City on May 23 being postponed, though current plans maintain that the match should proceed as originally scheduled. In their latest statement, Middlesbrough declared that such unauthorized observation and recording of their training constitutes a breach of sporting ethics, and stated that the appropriate punishment would be to disqualify Southampton from competing in the playoff final.

15 May Khaosod

In the 27th minute, Ryan Gravenberch's shot from outside the box was deflected by Emiliano Martinez into the path of Cody Gakpo, who tapped in, but an offside flag ruled out the goal.

Villa took the lead in the 42nd minute when Morgan Rogers finished from close range after a Lucas Digne cutback from the left corner.

Liverpool equalized in the 52nd minute when Virgil van Dijk headed in from a Szoboszlai free kick, making it 1-1.

Matthijs de Ligt Undergoes Back Surgery, Ruled Out of 2026 World Cup

Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt has undergone back surgery and will miss the 2026 World Cup, ending his recovery hopes after nearly six months sidelined since November.

15 May Khaosod

Matthijs de Ligt, the defensive linchpin for Manchester United's "Red Devils" in the English Premier League, has been definitively ruled out of the 2026 World Cup following surgery to treat a chronic back injury that has proven far more serious than anticipated.

De Ligt has been absent from United's lineup since the Crystal Palace match on November 30, 2025. At that time, manager Ruben Amorim suggested the Dutch international would return within a week. However, his recovery did not progress as quickly as predicted. Even current manager Michael Carrick initially indicated Manchester United had not considered surgery as an option, but recent attempts by de Ligt to resume training and running have yielded poor results.

De Ligt revealed through Instagram: "After 6 months of rehabilitation to return to playing, we've found that surgery is the only remaining option. I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to help the team for so long, and now I'll have to miss the World Cup as well."

14-Year-Old Boy Facing Blindness After Motorcycle Crash, Family Struggles to Afford Surgery with Inadequate Health Coverage

A 14-year-old boy risks permanent blindness after a May 12 motorcycle crash fractured his eye socket and caused brain bleeding. His family needs 15,000 baht by May 19 to proceed with surgery, having exhausted their insurance coverage limit.

15 May Khaosod

A 14-year-old boy is facing blindness after a motorcycle accident on May 12 when he crashed into the rear of an unlit parked trailer. He has sustained severe injuries including a fractured left leg, broken wrist, damaged teeth, fractured skull with eye socket rupture, and bleeding in the brain. Despite having health insurance coverage, his family has exhausted the 30,000-baht limit and the hospital is demanding an additional 15,000 baht by May 19 at 2 p.m. to proceed with surgery. The family is struggling financially as the boy, known for his dedication, works delivering food to support the household while managing his own kidney disease, and his mother battling cancer. The hospital has also informed them that the boy may lose vision permanently due to possible nerve damage from the fractured eye socket, and they cannot source swelling medication locally, requiring a trip to Pathum Thani hospital. The boy could see immediately after the accident but has now gone blind in one eye. His family is appealing for urgent financial assistance through social media to save his vision and afford the necessary surgery before the deadline.
