A food delivery rider in Kamphaeng Phet province was sexually harassed by a customer who offered 600 baht in exchange for explicit acts. After other riders had experienced similar incidents without evidence to prosecute, this rider decided to record the call as proof and file charges.

On July 11, 2026, Prakchit Saitip, founder of the community Facebook page "Kamphaeng Phet Complaints Center," accompanied 24-year-old rider Puay to file a report at Muang Kamphaeng Phet Police Station against the suspect, identified as Chai.

According to Puay's account, after receiving the food order, he made the delivery as requested and left the food at the customer's door as instructed. While heading to his next job, the customer called back with sexually suggestive remarks and inappropriate language, making him feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Puay recorded the conversation and directly asked the caller to state his intentions clearly for evidence purposes. The caller then asked if he would accept special work and offered 600 baht in exchange for explicit acts.

Puay stated he filed the report to demand respect for the food delivery profession and to set a legal precedent, hoping to prevent such harassment from happening to others.

Prakchit noted that multiple riders had previously reported sexual harassment from this person but lacked evidence to prosecute. He praised Puay for having the presence of mind to record the incident for legal action.

On July 11, 2026, authorities reported that Sophaa Khemthong, 53, from Sri Thep Noi Village in Sri Thep District, Phetchabun Province, disappeared from his home on July 7 at around 1 p.m. Community leaders, village headmen, residents, and rescue teams have been searching the area, but he remains missing.

Sophaa's wife, Thongyuai Khemthong, 51, revealed that before his disappearance, their 28-year-old son, a methamphetamine addict, had regularly abused Sophaa and forced him to steal money for drugs. Desperate, Sophaa eventually turned to robbery and was arrested and imprisoned. While he was in prison, his son destroyed their home, leaving only the foundation posts. Upon his release, Sophaa was devastated to see his house in ruins and feared further violence from his son, prompting him to flee. His whereabouts remain unknown after four days, as does his son's location.

Little Angels, an all-female rock-metal band whose members are all elementary school students from Wat Chumpol Kiri Municipality School in Mae Sot district, Tak province, traveled by bus for over 18 hours to perform at the Khaopip Music Festival 2 in Chumphon today.

Abhisit Vejjajiva, Democrat Party leader and list MP, dismissed claims by fellow MP Paradorn Prissananantakul, cautioning against conflating separate budget matters. He led Democrat lawmakers to inspect the Kaeng-Ling-Klonglian water retention basin—designed to slow runoff from upper areas and prevent rapid flooding of Hatyai's economic zone—at 6 PM on July 11. Khohong Mayor Thevisak Theeratana presented the municipality's concerns and requested assistance, including procurement of ten water pumps.

Abhisit stated that Hatyai's flooding problem has been wrongly portrayed as a political dispute when both parties are simply performing their duties. He noted that initial disaster response focused on economic remedies, but timing remained problematic due to uncertainty about rainfall patterns.

Abhisit highlighted that following the election, both Democrats and opposition raised concerns about the province's preparedness. Parliamentary discussions began in May, with MPs Joury Noomkaew and Saksit Khaothong citing examples like Klong Ror 1. The Prime Minister visited on July 10, and the government had planned a cabinet meeting in early June but cancelled it, citing incomplete project vetting.

As budgetary discussions extended into July, Joury spoke clearly about flood concerns, referencing the budget crisis—particularly debates about candle-lighting expenses—which prompted an emotional government response. This prompted the Prime Minister to visit and approve approximately 400 million baht, pending cabinet confirmation. An emergency fund of 99.5 million baht from private-sector assistance was also approved for urgent priorities.

Abhisit told Pradorn not to conflate separate issues, noting the project is centrally funded but involves distinct components requiring budget approval and upgrades. He emphasized the opposition performed its duty fully and appreciated the government's eventual response to two to three months of advocacy, particularly regarding Klong Ror 1. He urged the government to expedite cabinet approval, as remaining amounts exceed the Prime Minister's sole authority to approve.
