Most Thai households spend considerable money each month on bottled or bulk water without tracking annual costs. LG Subscribe, embodying the philosophy "LG Has Everything," introduces smart water filters addressing consumer demands for affordability, verified hygiene, and convenience through a subscription model with accessible monthly payments.

Every drop is guaranteed safe, as all water passes 99.99% pathogen elimination. LG filters feature the four-stage All-Puri tankless system, certified to remove up to 9 types of heavy metals including norovirus effectively. UV sterilization automatically kills bacteria at the spout every hour, while auto-sterilization eliminates 99.99% of pathogens with a single button press.

Apple Updates Creator Studio With AI-Powered Tools

Apple has upgraded its Creator Studio with AI-powered features including automatic caption generation, intelligent masking, and improved color matching across Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and other creative apps for Mac and iPad.

Apple Updates Creator Studio With AI-Powered Tools
1d ago Khaosod

Apple has announced a powerful update to Apple Creator Studio, a collection of creative apps built on the capabilities of Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The update introduces new AI features tailored for all creative professionals, making Apple Creator Studio more connected, capable, and intelligent.

Users can now open and edit images across Keynote, Pages, and Numbers, send keyframes from Final Cut Pro directly to Pixelmator Pro, and Logic Pro users can enhance music production with an improved Chord ID feature or explore new Producer Projects from Grammy-winning producers.

The update transforms Apple Creator Studio into a more powerful AI-driven workflow solution, beginning with Final Cut Pro, the premium video creation app for Mac and iPad. New AI tools include Generate Captions and Edit Detection, along with new content like Creator Themes supporting multiple aspect ratios, dynamic titles, and customizable backgrounds.

Mac users benefit from additional tools such as Auto Mask, improved Match Color, Advanced Trimming, and the ability to send frames to Pixelmator Pro. Generate Captions, one of the most requested features, uses on-device AI to automatically transcribe audio and perfectly place subtitles on the timeline with animation styling, font, color, and position customization options.

Auto Mask is a new method for isolating and refining specific elements of footage. On-device AI recognizes patterns like skin, hair, sky, leaves, and clothing without manual tracking. Users simply hover the cursor over a clip to preview detected elements. The feature works alongside Magnetic Mask for precise customization.

The redesigned Match Color feature now matches colors more accurately and naturally across varied footage and lighting conditions. Editors select a reference frame, and Final Cut Pro analyzes shots to ensure perfect color harmony. Advanced Trimming allows frame-by-frame adjustment of in and out points.

Updates to Motion and Compressor are also included. Motion adds native support for sharp vector graphics at any resolution and Distribute Layers for faster animation setup. Compressor features an Immersive Metadata Viewer, 180-degree Apple Projected Media Profile support for Apple Vision Pro, and Anaglyph View for stereoscopic video preview.

Four Stars Charm In New iQIYI Series Don't Be Too Emotional

Four actors star in iQIYI's new series "Don't Be Too Emotional," discussing their contrasting characters and the challenge of their first major lead roles in a full-length drama.

Four Stars Charm In New iQIYI Series Don't Be Too Emotional
1d ago Khaosod

The iQIYI Original series "Don't Be Too Emotional" has premiered, starring Tee Bunyakiart Wongsakaecham, Heng Tattapong Rojsangruang, Donut Pattrapol Dechpongsoranant, and Kor Pallat Chayutnidhirojan. We recently sat down with all four actors to discuss the series.

**Tell us about your characters in this series?**

Tee: "I play Gen Patrick, or older Gen. He's a calm, composed person who inadvertently pressures and intimidates anyone who gets close to him. He's someone the entire university talks about. He can fulfill any request, but requires fair compensation in return. The character is quite different from my real self. Since I was an athlete before, I've never acted, so I had to do considerable homework."

Heng: "I play Gen Ariy, or younger Gen. He's cute and bright, and doesn't like refusing people's requests. He tries his best to help everyone. My character differs from the real me. Younger Gen doesn't dare refuse people, so he's constantly helping others. But as I've grown older, I've learned to say no to things I'm not actually ready to help with."

Kor: "I play Puti, who's hot-tempered and cares deeply for his friends, always ready to help them. Puti's character is quite different from me. I tend to overthink things before speaking, but Puti follows his emotions and says whatever comes to mind."

Donut: "I play Dan, a simple-hearted person, the opposite of older Gen. Dan is kind-hearted and helps others without expecting anything in return. He gives positive energy and receives positive energy from others. Dan has quite a bright tone to him. Actually, I think it's somewhat similar to me in having positive energy."

**Is this your first time working together as a group of four?**

Tee: "Heng and I did a vertical series from the same company before. This is the second project, but our first major lead roles in a full series. Donut and Kor are working with us for the first time."

Donut: "This is my first time meeting them."

Heng: "Actually, I've watched Donut's work several times before."

Kor: "We first met during the workshop."

**How was it for Donut to join a BL series?**

Donut: "It was fun. Everyone is really lovely, whether actors or crew. Tee and Heng showed so much dedication from the workshop. They gave their all on every exercise the instructor assigned. Everyone was so committed, and since we're all the same type of dedicated people, we had to give our best and do everything to the highest standard."

**And Tee, you've done vertical series before. How is it different doing a full series like this?**

Tee: "It's quite different and challenging because it's a full 12-episode series and I'm the lead character. Playing older Gen, who's so different from my real self, adds pressure. The stress is definitely there."

**How about you, Heng?**

Heng: "I'm stressed too. This series is mostly told from younger Gen's perspective. He encounters various people, and practically every scene involves him. But we understand that, and we're trying to do our best despite the heavy workload. We're all committed."

Donut: "Heng is really talented. He's basically in every scene from morning until his last shot of the day. He has tons of energy and gives his all every time without any signs of fatigue."

**Tee, as a former football player transitioning to acting, how has the adjustment been?**

Tee: "I had to learn everything from scratch. When I was contacted for casting, I came, and right away I was sent to acting school. It took nearly a year of training before I landed the role of older Gen. In the beginning, I'd still drive back to Udon Thani to practice football with my club, but as we got closer to filming, I asked the club if I could focus fully here. Luckily, they gave me the opportunity."

**What about the others? What acting experience do they have?**

Heng: "Before this, I was in two other series, mostly commercials, and I just finished acting school."

Kor: "I've done many different things—singing competitions, series—"

Independent Panel Set To Charge NACC Official In Bribery Case

Independent Panel Set To Charge NACC Official In Bribery Case
1d ago Khaosod

An independent inquiry committee appointed by the Supreme Court President scheduled hearings today at the Supreme Court on Ratchadamnoen Road for NACC Commissioner Akwit Watchwalkul and three others, including former Deputy Police Commissioner General Surchest Hakpal. They face misconduct charges related to Watchwalkul allegedly receiving a 246-baht gold bribe from Hakpal, who is under NACC investigation for allegedly benefiting from online gambling websites.

Multiple news outlets positioned themselves at designated media areas along Khlong Lot, but the accused did not appear at the announced location. Reports indicate they used alternative Supreme Court entrances to access the hearing. The independent panel used a courtroom designated for cases involving political office holders, though it is not an official judicial bench.

The independent inquiry committee functioned as investigators conducting interrogations. Accused parties were summoned to a U-shaped seating arrangement with four microphones to answer questioning. The proceedings remained confidential with no information released to media. Observers noted that if the accused fail to present conclusive evidence, the investigation results and whether charges will be pursued could lean toward the negative.

The bribery case originated from investigations into Hakpal's alleged online gambling benefits. Investigators uncovered evidence of 246 baht of gold bars given as a bribe to Watchwalkul, who oversaw or was involved in case proceedings at the time. Police compiled evidence for prosecution on charges of giving and receiving bribes and misconduct under Article 157. Hakpal's legal team maintains his innocence and disputes the police investigative process.

Because Watchwalkul is the accused bribe recipient, the NACC cannot pursue the investigation. Under the constitution, the Supreme Court President appointed nine independent investigators including judges, senior prosecutors, legal scholars, and former anti-corruption officials.

Khon Kaen Youth Volunteer Program Develops Community
1d ago Khaosod

Khon Kaen recently inaugurated the "Volunteer City-Viewing" operational project at Wat Pa Chai Wan's early childhood development center, with Deputy Mayor Bunyarut Panitchayrungrieng presiding. The education office organized the activity to help students and youth leave their classrooms, experience real community settings, and learn the history of various locations within Khon Kaen municipality while improving the early childhood center—currently undergoing renovation as a learning and community development hub. Participants painted, landscaped, and created symbolic artwork to serve as educational materials.

Deputy Mayor Bunyarut stated that the municipality, particularly the education office, prioritizes involving youth in urban development. While volunteer groups sometimes work in underdeveloped areas, urban zones also require attention. "When children help maintain these spaces while learning about local history, they develop greater appreciation and understanding," he said. "Wat Pa Chai Wan's center is being enhanced with painting and artwork that serve both as area symbols and teaching tools for young children."

Volunteer participants came from multiple schools within and around the municipality. All agreed that urban development requires community participation and instilling civic pride. This four-year continuous initiative involves collaborative efforts in cleaning, maintenance, and improvement work resembling volunteer camps. When youth engage in hands-on activities, they pass positive values and civic consciousness to future generations.

Student volunteer Kwisara Ramphanninym said she wanted to experience Khon Kaen differently beyond the classroom, meet new friends, and gain new experiences. "This activity showed me Khon Kaen from a new perspective. We identified problems and worked together on solutions. I encourage others to join in developing our city," she said.

Creditor Appeals for Jenny to Buy Back Mae Ked's Mortgaged House

A tissue paper business owner is seeking Jenny's help to buy back a house she mortgaged to Mae Ked for 5 million baht in Songkhla, after Jenny went silent on a deal to purchase it at 4.5 million baht six months ago.

Creditor Appeals for Jenny to Buy Back Mae Ked's Mortgaged House
1d ago Khaosod

Dr. B, or Pannipha Olalapattammagkit, 52, owner of a prominent tissue paper brand business, has appealed through the media asking Jenny to help purchase the first house of Lily, which Mae Ked had mortgaged. Jenny previously provided 5 million baht to redeem the house, but ultimately it fell into someone else's name.

Pannipha revealed she has been close to Mae Ked because they lived near each other in Songkhla province. In March 2025, Mae Ked needed cash and mortgaged the house for 5 million baht. Out of trust, Pannipha lent the full amount.

However, Mae Ked never paid interest or redeemed the loan. Pannipha was forced to transfer the house title to her own name temporarily to protect her legal rights.

When the story became news, Pannipha expected Jenny would buy the house back for Mae Ked. After family drama ended, Mae Ked contacted her asking about the house price, saying Jenny would be the buyer.

Pannipha initially offered to sell at 5.5 million baht including interest, but Jenny negotiated down to 5 million baht, which Pannipha accepted without interest. Jenny then requested 4.5 million baht, asking Pannipha to consider it as an outside purchase rather than a mortgage redemption. After 1-2 days of consideration, Pannipha agreed, intending to invest the money elsewhere.

However, when she called back with the answer, Jenny did not pick up. There has been no contact for nearly six months since.

Pannipha confirmed she is not angry or has problems with Mae Ked or Jenny. On the contrary, she still cares for them. She emphasized that she has helped Mae Ked many times before, including lending 400,000 baht to redeem a car Mae Ked had pawned, as she understands people who have struggled financially like herself.

She added that she wanted to sell the house back to the family because the four houses are adjacent with no fencing between them. She also learned that Lily's house in Songkhla had suffered flooding, forcing the family to rent a condominium temporarily.

The case awaits Jenny's response to clarify what actually happened regarding this house matter.

Drug-Addled Teens Smash 66-Year-Old Woman's Room, Case Stalls

A 65-year-old woman's room was vandalized and slashed with knives by drug-addled teenagers at a Bangkok housing project in May, but Bang Khae Police have made no arrests despite CCTV evidence and witness testimony over two months later.

Drug-Addled Teens Smash 66-Year-Old Woman's Room, Case Stalls
1d ago Khaosod

On July 6, 2569, at the Saimai Must Survive page office, 65-year-old Phen filed an urgent justice complaint regarding an incident in which she and her 18-year-old granddaughter were victimized by a group of teenagers who destroyed property and used knife weapons to slash her room door at the Aue-athan Housing Project on Phemi Sin Road. The incident falls under Bang Khae Police Station's jurisdiction, but no case progress has been made despite more than two months passing.

The incident occurred on May 21, 2569, around 7:00 p.m., when Phen was resting in her room with her granddaughter. A group of teenagers first caused a disturbance upstairs, then came down to Phen's room and violently slashed the door with knife weapons, causing severe damage. The terrifying behavior shocked Phen so greatly that she lost consciousness at the scene. The exact time the perpetrators fled remains unclear.

After the incident, Phen immediately filed a report with Bang Khae Police Station investigators. However, to date, no arrests have been made, despite having crucial evidence in the form of clear CCTV footage documenting the incident and the criminals' behavior. This has forced Phen and her family to live in fear and anxiety about their safety and property.

Phen provided additional information that she knows one perpetrator is "Nai To," who previously knew her son and had visited the upstairs room to eat. However, she is uncertain whether Nai To had any personal conflict with her son.

She urges police to expedite the arrest of all perpetrators and proceed with legal action, as well as promptly compensate for damages.

Ekphop Lueangprasert, founder of the Saimai Must Survive page who is assisting in this case, stated the case is not complicated at all, as there are witness testimony, circumstantial evidence, and clear CCTV video footage documenting the incident. He urges Bang Khae Police Station to accelerate their work and pursue the teenage perpetrators for legal proceedings as soon as possible, as the victim has suffered and awaited justice for more than two months. He expressed confidence that if police proceed seriously and diligently, the perpetrators can be arrested and prosecuted within just two days.
