Kantharalak Hospital has filed a formal complaint and initiated legal proceedings against a patient who posted false information about the hospital's services on social media. The patient claimed she was bitten by a dog while waiting from morning until afternoon for a vaccine injection.

The hospital conducted a thorough investigation using system logs and presented a detailed timeline of the patient's visit:

11:11 AM - Patient registered for service 11:14 AM - Triage nurse assessed patient (3-minute wait) 12:57 PM - Doctor began examination 13:26 PM - Doctor completed examination and patient left the ER (total ER time: approximately 2 hours 15 minutes) 13:54 PM - 14:16 PM - Patient processed through pharmacy 14:57 PM - Patient received injection at the vaccine clinic and left

The hospital noted that during the wait period, 12 critical and severe patients required emergency care, necessitating medical staff to prioritize cases according to standard triage protocols. The hospital emphasized that the ER wait time of approximately 2 hours was appropriate crisis management prioritizing patient safety.

The hospital stated that the misleading post damaged its reputation and demoralized medical personnel working tirelessly to care for patients. Hospital director therefore authorized representatives to file a report and pursue charges under the Computer Crimes Act against those who posted and spread the false information.

The hospital welcomed legitimate feedback through official complaint channels but urged the public to refrain from spreading false information.

Burn Confident He Can Handle Haaland Threat

Burn Confident He Can Handle Haaland Threat
9h ago Khaosod

England defender Dan Burn is confident he can handle Norway's in-form striker Erling Braut Haaland as England faces Norway in the World Cup 2026 semi-final qualifier at 4:00 AM Thailand time on July 12. Burn revealed that the team manager addressed the squad after their Mexico match, stating that praise means nothing if they cannot beat Norway. "We need to focus on that now," Burn said. "It will be a different environment. We won't be playing at high altitude anymore, but we'll face the heat. You know Erling only needs one touch in the penalty area to score, so everyone has to give their all." Haaland has only scored one goal when playing for Manchester City against Newcastle United, where Burn plays. "I don't want to jinx it, but yes, one goal," Burn said. "I enjoy dueling with Erling from a physical perspective. I quite like that kind of physical contact and I've done well against him on the pitch. We get along well. You'd have to ask him if he feels the same way." Burn added that if instructed to mark Haaland closely, he would be more than ready and happy to do so, though he acknowledged having four other center-backs at the highest level who are all tournament-ready.

A Hellenic Air Force F-16 fighter jet has crash-landed at Zakynthos airport, closing one of Greece's busiest summer holiday terminals. The aircraft, part of the 335th Squadron based at Araxos Air Base in western Greece, was on a training flight when it landed at approximately 13:45 local time on Thursday after developing a technical fault. The Hellenic Air Force confirmed the pilot was "in good health" and launched an investigation into the cause.

Reports indicate the aircraft received a fire warning before landing and ignited upon touching the runway, prompting an immediate emergency response from firefighters and airport personnel. According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini, the jet landed without deploying its landing gear and slid several dozen meters along the runway. The Hellenic Air Force has not commented on this report.

The incident occurred during the start of Greece's busy summer tourism season, when thousands of visitors typically travel to the island each week. Air Force specialists are expected to travel to the Ionian Islands to remove the aircraft from the runway and allow the airport to resume operations.

Record Label Signs Viral Star Pui Amid Controversy
9h ago Khaosod

Mind Music Record has officially welcomed Pui, the viral sensation known for her pink bedding and Doraemon pillow clips, into its roster. Label founder Prachai Chai announced the signing, emphasizing that while everyone deserves a second chance, he won't recruit artists based solely on viral moments without genuine singing ability. "If we only take people who've gone viral from TikTok trends, then any singer could become a hundred," Chai posted. "That's not how we work."

Pui, grateful for the opportunity, bowed respectfully and addressed the backlash: "I ask society to look at this from another angle. I was also a victim in this situation. Please give me a chance." Her apology has drawn mixed reactions online, with some offering support while others argue the label should have given the opportunity to a more accomplished singer instead.

Meanwhile, Mind Music Record is crowdsourcing ideas for Pui's debut single title, inviting fans to submit suggestions. Proposed names have included "I Don't Know So He Said I'm Single," "He Tricked Me Into Thinking He Wasn't Married," and "Tears on Pink Sheets."

The signing has ignited broader debate about merit versus second chances in the entertainment industry, with passionate comments flooding social media both criticizing and defending the label's decision.

With major productions preparing to launch in the second half of the year, Thailand is positioned to set new records for foreign film production revenue in 2026.

Feature films generated the highest investment value at 1.989 billion baht across 21 productions, followed by game shows and reality programs at 811 million baht across 22 productions, and commercials at 710 million baht across 152 productions.

The top five countries and territories investing in Thailand were the United States at 1.543 billion baht, Hong Kong at 322 million baht, Finland at 300 million baht, Germany at 297 million baht, and the United Kingdom at 230 million baht.

"These achievements reflect Thailand's potential as a world-class filming destination, with competitive locations, professional crews, production support systems, and investment incentives at international standards," the deputy spokesman stated. "The government's foreign film production incentive program, offering cash rebates of up to 30%, will help position Thailand as a regional hub for international film and content production while generating sustained economic benefits, employment, and long-term value."
