Ang Thong Hospital issued a statement on July 27, 2026, in response to circulated images and video clips from a press briefing concerning the loss of an infant. Medical staff appeared to smile or laugh during the announcement, raising concerns and causing distress to the deceased's family and the public. The hospital explained that the images showed only a brief moment during which staff responded to an unexpected question from reporters about whether legal action would be taken against the deceased's relatives. The facial expressions were natural reactions while listening intently to the question, with no intention to show happiness, mockery, or disrespect to the deceased or their family. The hospital reaffirmed that all medical personnel perform their duties with respect for all patients and service users, with no intent to communicate or express themselves inappropriately or harm the feelings of those involved. Regarding the facts of the case, Ang Thong Hospital emphasized its commitment to conducting a comprehensive, transparent, and fair investigation to establish the facts as quickly as possible, ensuring justice for all parties and maintaining public confidence.

On July 28, 2025, a 20-year-old female student at a prominent Udon Thani university posted on Facebook asking for advice on handling a situation involving a lecturer with inappropriate behavior and poor professional ethics. After filing a complaint with the university, she said more than two months had passed without receiving updates on the investigation or its progress, with administrators only telling her to wait patiently and not overthink the matter.

While waiting for the investigation, the student says she must continue attending classes at the same university and faces daily questioning, comments, and pressure from those around her. Some lecturers have questioned why she filed the complaint and made it a big issue. She reports feeling blamed and discussed negatively in front of her entire department, which has deeply affected her mental state.

The student emphasized that getting her money back was not the end of the matter for her. What she demands is correctness and fairness in the process, not just financial restitution. She decided to speak out because she wants society to understand that being a victim does not end when money is returned—the impact continues daily. She expressed sadness that the lecturer continues living normally, going out with senior students and working, while unaware students remain at risk.

Most recently, reporters spoke with Ms. A (pseudonym), 20, a student victim who provided evidence of messages from a 35-year-old English lecturer who requested a loan around midnight on July 15. The lecturer claimed his account wasn't working and said he needed money for food, promising to repay the next day. Out of respect for his position as a lecturer, the student transferred 3,000 baht. The lecturer claimed he didn't receive it, so she transferred another 3,000 baht. When he claimed the money still didn't arrive, she transferred an additional 4,000 baht. The lecturer only returned the funds after the student escalated the matter to the university rector, totaling 10,000 baht in transfers.

The story of comedian Som Chiang Samcha is heartbreaking—a powerful reminder that real life can be more dramatic than any soap opera. Recently appearing on the Khom Khom Story Podcast, Som Chiang, younger sister of Teng Thoet Thoing, opened up about the greatest wound of her life: choosing the wrong husband. Her ex-husband cheated on her while she was pregnant with their second child, and he eventually left her to build a new family with another woman. Som Chiang was forced to flee her home alone with her two young daughters and reached such depths of despair that she considered ending her life. However, she found the courage to fight on for her children, and that determination has sustained her to this day.

Som Chiang began by explaining that she was attracted to older men because she lacked a father figure, having lost her father as a child. She wanted a man who could be both husband and father to her. When she met a Chinese man ten years her senior, she was convinced after just two months of getting to know him that he was the one. Despite her mother's initial objection—warning that he was selfish and only cared about himself—Som Chiang was blinded by love and refused to listen.

The man had been married for six years before and desperately wanted children. Within two months of being with Som Chiang, she became pregnant, and he was overjoyed. However, she miscarried after two months. Three months later, she was pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to Jade. When Jade turned one, they wanted another child, hoping for a boy, but had another girl instead—Kim. At first, the husband was disappointed, but when Som Chiang was seven months pregnant, his behavior suddenly changed. He began coming home late.

When they finally talked, he confessed that he was in love with another woman. Som Chiang recalled: "My husband fell in love with a pregnant woman who was four months along. He said he felt sorry for her because her ex-husband was an alcoholic who abused her. He started taking care of her from month four of her pregnancy, and his care turned into love. He took her to give birth.

When that woman was seven months pregnant, her ex-husband discovered she was communicating with my husband. The ex gave her an ultimatum to choose. She chose my husband. My husband was delighted. He rented a room for her while I was already pregnant. Then he took her to deliver her baby—a boy—and he was very happy with that child, even though it wasn't his biologically. The baby looked a lot like the woman's ex-husband.

When I finally confronted him, he told me, 'Now you have your children. Your second one is almost here.'"

Som Chiang's journey from devastation to survival has become a testament to her resilience and her determination to provide for her daughters despite the betrayal and abandonment she endured.

Thailand Securities Depository (TSD) confirmed an unauthorized access incident affecting approximately 200,000 shareholders out of 5 million total users of its TSD Investor Portal. The incident was discovered on the evening of July 25, 2569, when staff detected abnormal behavior from a user who accessed the system through their own account but used a user profile editing method to extract data from other users in large quantities. TSD immediately closed the security vulnerability, suspended access to the affected system, and reported the incident to the Securities and Exchange Commission, data protection authorities, and cyber police for investigation.

The compromised personal data included names, dates of birth, ID numbers, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, securities company names, trading account numbers, bank names, and deposit account numbers. However, TSD confirmed that securities holdings data, share quantities, portfolio values, and securities trading transaction information were not breached, and no financial losses have been detected to date. The company notified all affected users via email and SMS, coordinated with securities firms and banks to enhance transaction monitoring, and reported the incident to all relevant regulatory authorities.

TSD IT expert Tiraphan Sanpakij clarified that the incident occurred only in the TSD Investor Portal website system and did not affect the newly launched Wiset application, which uses different technology with higher security standards. The Investor Portal has been in service for over 5 years, while Wiset was developed with modern technology and TSD plans to gradually migrate services to the new platform. TSD's system architecture separates the front-end display system, back-end data storage system, and trading/matching systems, with the back-end not directly connected to the internet, preventing unauthorized access to securities holding information.
