On August 10, 2025, Mueang Chaiyaphum police received reports of an armed monk at Chaiyaphum Narendhorn Hospital's pharmacy. Officers quickly responded and found Phra Prida, a monk from Noen Kham district, waiting for his regular medication. A black gun-like object was protruding from under his robes, causing panic among hospital patients and staff.

Police carefully inspected the weapon and discovered it was a plastic fake gun attached to a phone case, prompting relief among those present. Officers asked Phra Prida to remove the gun from the case and confiscated it, warning him that such actions cause public alarm and should not be repeated, regardless of intent.

Phra Prida apologized and explained he had ordered the phone case from TikTok and attached the fake gun for fun because it felt comfortable to hold, with no malicious intent. He acknowledged the alarm he caused and promised not to carry such items again, expressing concern about frightening people.

Senator Wutthichai Kalyanamit has denied involvement in allegations that he colluded with the Election Commission and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to provide information, directly responding to opposition leader Prayut Chan-o-cha's accusations. Wutthichai stated he is ready to clarify and present relevant information to the media at an appropriate time and expressed uncertainty whether the DSI has formally requested his cooperation, noting that he feels he has been treated as a suspect throughout the process.

Wutthichai emphasized that advancing the nation requires respect for legal protocols and proper institutional procedures. He criticized the use of institutional reputation-damaging tactics over legitimate legal mechanisms, expressing concern that such actions may be designed to pressure independent bodies for political ends. He stressed that any corruption or illegal conduct, whether by the general public or by the Election Commission itself, must result in accountability.

As a senator, Wutthichai said he works to fulfill his duties in legislative review, government oversight, and considerations of independent agencies within constitutional boundaries. He stated he has endeavored to produce the best outcomes for the nation and people, while emphasizing that political maneuvering and power-seeking through various tactics are not his strength. "On every allegation that I have violated the law, I have already clarified the matter with the Election Commission and the DSI. I will only provide clarifications to competent authorities," Wutthichai concluded.

Deputy PM Secretary Suksomrwoy Wanthaneeyakul of Phum Jai Thai hit back at Prasit Wattharasindu of Pheu Thai on August 10, 2026, at Government House, over allegations that her staff transferred nearly 900,000 baht to Election Commission officials in Amnat Charoen during the 2023 Senate election. She denied any such arrangement and stated she had never been summoned by the Election Commission or DSI to clarify any money transfers in the past two years.

Suksomrwoy challenged Prasit to verify where his information came from, suggesting he ask his sources—including lawyer Anucha Boonrueam and activist Yingcheep Ajananont—exactly what documents they possessed and whether the Election Commission had even investigated them. She warned against spreading unverified political claims that could mislead the public and urged reliance on complete facts rather than speculation.

When asked about legal action, Suksomrwoy confirmed she had already filed a police complaint against Prasit, Anucha, and Yingcheep in Amnat Charoen province. She said police would determine whether their statements constituted defamation. She cautioned Yingcheep's supporters that the information they shared might come from political opponents and could be false, urging them to be careful. She suggested that the timing of the allegations was deliberate, ahead of the Election Commission's expected ruling on the election case, and that observers understood the motives behind the public campaign.

Police arrested former Nonthaburi provincial candidate Chaloeng Riowraeng after he allegedly opened fire on Thongchai Yenprasert, the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) chief, at the PAO office on August 10, 2569. The suspect is being questioned at Rattanathebes Police Station regarding the shooting and preliminary reports indicate the motive relates to a personal debt dispute of 11 million baht and the candidate's nomination for the recent election. The chief's driver also sustained serious injuries in the incident.

Police are conducting an investigation to establish the full timeline of events and determine the precise circumstances that led to the shooting. The 9mm handgun used in the attack is being forensically examined, and officers are gathering evidence and witness statements. According to Nonthaburi Governor Chetsada Mhosikarun, the suspect admitted to the crime and claimed he had arranged to discuss matters with the victim at the PAO office, but the conversation did not go as planned, leading to the shooting.

The governor stated that he knew both the suspect and victim, who were formerly friends with a good relationship, and had never been informed of any complaints or disputes between them. The PAO chief's driver, who was wounded in the attack, has been transported to Phra Nang Klao Hospital and remains a key witness. Police are continuing their interrogation and will pursue legal action against the suspect according to standard procedure.

On August 10, 2026, at the Ban Pa Roi Toh Foundation for the Five-Province Forest Conservation, General Prawit Wongsuwan, former Deputy Prime Minister and adviser to the Palang Pracharath party (PPRP), welcomed close associates and dignitaries to celebrate his 81st birthday, which falls on August 11, 2026.

The celebration was warm and relaxed, with Prawit appearing cheerful and greeting visitors casually as they arrived.

From early morning, a steady flow of military officers, civil servants, and politicians came to offer their wishes, including members of the foundation's board such as General Udomdej Sitthubut, former Army Commander and former Defense Ministry spokesperson; General Nath Intharajarun, former Permanent Secretary of the Defense Ministry; and General Kittipong Keskovik, former Permanent Secretary of the Defense Ministry.

Treenuch Thiantong, head of the Palang Pracharath party, led party executives to extend best wishes to General Prawit for good health, embracing him and offering encouragement for his future work.

Also attending were Chaiyavuth Thanakamanusuron, head of the Rak Chat party; former PPRP MPs including Tippanan Sirichana, former Deputy Government Spokesman; Wattanya Bunnach, known as Madame Dior; and Chada Thai-sert, an Uthaithani MP from the Thai Pride Party.

At 10:00 a.m. on August 10, 2025, at the Technology Crime Investigation Bureau (TCIB) in Thonburi, Major Thanakrit Chittaareerat and a 25-year-old woman identified as Ms. A met with Deputy Commander Wiwat Khamchanit to pursue a case against her ex-boyfriend who posted intimate videos on social media and engaged in harassment and threats at her home, showing no respect for the law. He continued posting images even after his arrest and release on bail.

Dr. Thanakrit stated that this latest complaint came after previous legal action, yet the defendant's behavior had not ceased and new incidents continued to occur, necessitating urgent investigation and fact-checking. The funeral wreath and two banana plants sent after the initial report should be examined to determine if they constitute new offenses. If evidence links them to the defendant, strict legal action must follow.

Ms. A revealed that after her ex-boyfriend's arrest and bail release, he posted nude photos in a group with 140,000 members, causing her distress. She believes only he could have done this, as the photos existed only between them. When she confronted him, he challenged her to report him, which she interpreted as intimidation meant to force reconciliation. He also threatened to drive past her home, placed two banana plants—symbols of death—in front of her house, threatened to kill her and her mother, sent a pink funeral wreath addressed to her mother's name with cash-on-delivery payment of 168 baht (with her phone number on the package), and called her threatening to kill. All of this left her terrified and wanting to end her life.

Deputy Commander Wiwat said investigators will gather evidence and take a detailed statement from Ms. A. If the defendant is found responsible while facing outstanding charges, authorities can petition to revoke his bail. Evidence presented today is circumstantial; investigators need detailed testimony to confirm the defendant's identity. If he posted the images, he faces up to 5 years imprisonment or a fine not exceeding 100,000 baht or both. Those who shared or forwarded the obscene content face similar penalties.
