On May 27, 2025, the Thai Meteorological Department issued a warning regarding heavy to very heavy rainfall across Thailand and strong winds in the Andaman Sea (Alert No. 79/2569), effective from May 28 to June 1, 2025. The department reports that from May 28 to June 1, the southern and eastern regions will experience increased rainfall with heavy precipitation in many areas and very heavy rainfall in some locations. The northern, northeastern, and central regions will see heavy rainfall from May 29 to June 1 due to the active southwestern monsoon affecting the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, combined with a monsoon trough passing through upper Thailand.

Citizens are advised to prepare and remain vigilant against dangers from heavy to very heavy rainfall and accumulated rain, which may cause flash floods and flash flooding, especially in areas near water channels and low-lying zones. Wave heights in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand are expected to be relatively strong, with the upper Andaman Sea from Phuket northward experiencing 2-3 meter waves, or higher than 3 meters in thunderstorm areas. The lower Andaman Sea from Krabi southward and upper Gulf of Thailand will have approximately 2-meter waves, or higher than 2 meters during thunderstorms.

Fishermen and boat operators are urged to navigate cautiously, avoid areas with thunderstorms, and small boats in the upper Andaman Sea should refrain from leaving shore during this period. The public is advised to monitor updates from the Thai Meteorological Department via their website at http://www.tmd.go.th or call 0-2399-4012-13 and 1182, available 24/7. This alert was issued on May 27, 2025 at 5:00 AM, with the next update scheduled for 5:00 PM the same day.

On May 27, 2569, a 46-year-old woman named Bunyapeng (surname withheld) filed a complaint with Deputy Colonel Ratchapol Wonguan, investigation officer at Ban Dueao Police Station in Kaset Sombun District, Chaiyaphum Province. She reported that on the night of May 25 at 9 p.m., her youngest son, a 15-year-old identified as "A" (alias), who was intoxicated and high on methamphetamine, assaulted her in her bedroom. The mother stated she was sleeping alone when her son entered and attempted to resist his advances, but she could not overpower him. The boy punched her once in the back and threatened to kill her if she did not comply, forcing her to submit. After completing the assault, the boy took old blankets and bedding to sleep outside the house before going to find his older brother. The next morning of May 26, the mother consulted neighbors about the assault and filed a police report.

Police subsequently visited the residence and inspected the bedroom, which contained an old mattress on the concrete floor. The house was in poor condition with wooden and corrugated metal walls, some damaged by the boy. The mother's husband had died two years prior, and she lived with her two sons.

During questioning, the 15-year-old suspect confessed to the assault, claiming he experienced sexual urges after lying on the mattress near his mother. He stated he dragged his mother off the bed and told her: "Mom, I want to have sex with you. It's better than going elsewhere and wasting money. Having sex with you costs nothing. If you don't agree, I'll hurt you more." This confession was recorded by Ban Dueao Police Station investigators.

Investigation revealed the suspect had a troubling history. During elementary school, he was known for being mischievous, frequently quarreling with classmates, and showing no fear of teachers, prompting school officials to regularly summon parents and village elders. After completing sixth grade, he did not continue his education. Reports indicated frequent conflicts with villagers. Last year, he punched an elderly woman in the stomach while she was making merit offerings at the local temple. Though relatives filed a complaint, the case resulted only in a warning due to his juvenile status. Subsequently, he developed a methamphetamine addiction and was seen carrying a machete, causing widespread concern among neighbors who feared for their children's safety. Village authorities finally intervened and coordinated with subdistrict administration officials.

Following the drama surrounding Phan Panthita Bunchuan, known as 'Phan Rak Maew,' a famous influencer who faced backlash on social media after accepting a job from a beauty clinic while still a medical student—which raised professional ethics concerns—she has announced her temporary withdrawal from the Faculty of Medicine at Khon Kaen University. She explained that she wants to properly focus on her work as an influencer and actress.

When meeting Phan at the premiere of the film 'Term 4' at Paragon Cineplex on the 5th floor of Siam Paragon, she opened up about her decision: "It's a decision I've thought through carefully for quite a long time, and it was really difficult to announce because I have many younger fans who see me as an inspiration. I wanted to communicate this to them as carefully as possible. In the end, it became a decision everyone approved of, so I chose to pause my studies here."

When asked if her main reason was wanting to take on work because of scheduling conflicts: "Yes, I wanted to work in the influencer and acting fields—smaller acting roles that suit me. At first I thought I could handle both, but when it came down to it, I realized that kind of work requires intense focus, especially roles like these."

Asked what year she's dropping: "I'm currently completing first year and moving into second year, but I'm dropping for now."

Did she consult with many people? "A lot, really. Family and adults who are worried about my future. But I myself don't know what my future will be, but right now what I'm doing makes me very happy and excited about meeting seniors, the production team, and fans. So I wanted to try giving this role my all."

But how long can she pause medical school? "Actually, I'm not entirely sure. For now, I want to try taking things year by year to see how this year goes. If I'm happy, maybe I'll make a decision about the future."

How much work has come in for Phan this year? "For me, a lot. Especially with the film—it's been a childhood dream. This is something I've wanted to do since I was young. As a kid, I wanted to audition and do things like this, but living in another province, I didn't have the opportunity. When this opportunity came, I wanted to grab it with everything I have. If work comes in, I want to take it all."

There's been drama since you posted explaining why you didn't study and work simultaneously, since others can do it. People are comparing you. How do you feel? "Actually, I'm okay with people thinking that others can do it. Because everyone's path in life is different. I really respect people who can do both—they're amazing. As for me, I'll give my best in this role and ask everyone to cheer me on and give me strength. Because I'm just one person, an ordinary person fighting for my own dreams."

Has it been demoralizing? "There might be some, but I feel like it's just their opinion. Sometimes I don't know if the film will be well-received. Some people might like it, some might not. It depends on each person's preference."

Are people still mocking or criticizing you now? "Right now I'm trying to read as little as possible, yeah, because it's stressful. And if I see the seniors, I might have bad energy, so I'm trying to avoid it."

So Phan is also toxic when it comes to social media consumption? "Well..."

On May 26, 2025, a 60-year-old woman filed a complaint at Bang Buathong Police Station against 76-year-old Prapaisri (nicknamed the "Pigeon Feeder" by villagers) for her disruptive behavior of feeding pigeons and stray cats throughout the neighborhood. Despite residents appealing to the Administrative Court, which issued an order prohibiting her from feeding animals in the community, her behavior has escalated.

Most recently, Prapaisri scaled the neighbor's gate fence and vandalized the property. The victim recorded video evidence of the trespassing. Police called Prapaisri in for mediation, and she agreed to compensate 10,990 baht for damages to the water pump and wooden fence.

However, upon returning home from police detention at 6:30 p.m., the victim discovered the fence had been damaged again. Security camera footage showed Prapaisri attempting to climb the fence while the victim was filing another complaint. Neighbors also provided video clips showing Prapaisri continuing to feed pigeons on rooftops, climbing ladders to damage security cameras, and falling from a ladder during one incident.

The victim, Ms. Jarupa, reported that the fence was first damaged on April 25, 2024, resulting in a 2,000 baht fine for the perpetrator on May 13, 2024. A second incident occurred on May 17, 2024, when the perpetrator again trespassed and left the water running. Today's compensation was 10,990 baht for the pump and fence damages.

The victim expressed living in constant fear, waking each morning to check for vehicle damage, garbage, or cat feces. She has installed security cameras and states she will file another complaint if further incidents occur. Despite the court order and municipal directives, Prapaisri continues her daily animal feeding routine, becoming increasingly isolated from neighbors who no longer speak to her.

The official Facebook page of Ban Non Sa-At Rat Upatum School posted a message of condolence regarding the passing of their student. The school administration, faculty, staff, and students expressed their grief over the death of student Emmie Saisod, Grade 7, in light of this tragic incident. The stepfather fatally abused a 12-year-old child in Si Bun Ruang District, Nong Bua Lamphu Province. The incident came to light after rescue workers posted a missing person alert for the 12-year-old girl. Shortly after, residents reported finding an injured person seeking help. Upon investigation, authorities discovered the victim was the girl's mother, who had been attacked by the stepfather with a machete and suffered severe blood loss. According to the mother's statement, the girl had been beaten to death inside their home two days earlier. Authorities have now apprehended the stepfather.

A 38-year-old woman (alias Ms. A) brought her 12-year-old Grade 6 daughter (alias Miss B) from a school in Chaiyawan District, Udon Thani Province, to file a police report at Chaiyawan Police Station after the girl was assaulted by a group of female students, with the incident recorded and shared on social media.

Ms. A disclosed that she only learned about the incident from her daughter yesterday. The assault occurred on the evening of May 24. The dispute began when the accused student wanted to copy a mathematics project homework from the victim's middle school cousin, but the cousin refused, angering the accused. The accused then messaged the victim's daughter on Facebook asking her to call out her older sister to "settle it."

However, the victim's cousin had a seizure and had to be hospitalized. Additionally, there was an elderly family member at home who had undergone surgery for stage 3 colon cancer just 7 days prior. The victim's daughter therefore went out to talk in good faith.

Thereafter, four individuals drove to pick up the victim's daughter from home and then assaulted her severely. The video shows two girls leading the assault while other friends filmed and distributed the clip. The victim suffered facial swelling, head swelling, headaches, and rib pain, and was unable to attend school.

Ms. A further stated that the perpetrators threatened her daughter not to tell her parents or teachers, or she would face worse consequences. The victim did not tell her mother, but a relative who encountered the clip on social media informed her. What made matters worse was that after the incident, relatives of the accused came to their home, made threatening remarks and challenged them to file a report, showing no fear of legal consequences and confidently invoking their family's status and position.

Major Rattaploichai Pensonkram, superintendent of Chaiyawan Police Station, revealed that upon preliminary examination of the clip, it appeared to resemble a consensual quarrel. However, police will take the victim to the hospital for medical examination to support the case file. Additionally, all evidence and witnesses will be collected. The case can still be settled through negotiation, but if both parties cannot reach an agreement, police will proceed with the legal process.
