Nawat Dismisses Drama, Denies Involving Outsiders

Nawat Isaragunsil, CEO of Miss Grand International and administrator of the Miss Universe Organization, addressed the celebrity drama involving Thanya, Ning Patama, and Peck Sananchai during an interview at a blessing ceremony for the film "LADY BEE" at Central World.

When asked if there were unresolved aspects of the dispute, Nawat stated: "I think it's basically over, but there's been some ongoing chatter. Ning already said she's not accepting everything from Peck and isn't involved in work matters anymore. Thanya sent an apology message, which I saw. I have proof of the message." He added that the situation should now be concluded.

Nawat expressed frustration with third parties inserting themselves into the dispute: "What surprised us is that some people who aren't involved—who aren't the couple or the third party mentioned—have been inserting themselves. I don't want to pay too much attention. I haven't even read most of it because I'm worried about getting upset. My head doesn't need any more noise right now. People send me things but I don't read them. I only just started reading yesterday."

Regarding Ning's stress levels, Nawat said she's been improving, noting that they were together in Chiang Mai and encouraged her not to worry. He emphasized that everyone involved earns their living and joked about the drama being shared around.

Nawat concluded philosophically: "This wouldn't have happened if it didn't start. But once it does, it gets loud. You have to be patient because feedback is necessary—society likes this, society notices it, and society wants to stir it up. So if something has started, accept it. If you must endure it, the best solution is simply not to do it in the first place."

When asked if he feared the controversy would damage anyone's image, Nawat replied: "It doesn't matter. If it sticks, it's fine. It's not a problem because we're not paying attention to it anyway."

Senator Accuses Pheu Thai Of Spreading Misinformation

A Thai senator accused Pheu Thai Party of spreading false information about a draft law on youth rehabilitation, arguing the government already has existing procedures for criminal record expungement while the party refuses to accept parlia

Senator Accuses Pheu Thai Of Spreading Misinformation
7h ago Khaosod

Senator Phisit Abhiwatthanapos accused the Pheu Thai Party of creating and spreading false information to deceive youth and damage institutions. He emphasized that the government already has rehabilitation plans and criminal record expungement procedures for youth. On July 10, 2025, at parliament, Senator Phisit addressed Nattapong Ruengpanya, Pheu Thai's list MP and party leader, alongside Sirikanya Tansukul, a list MP and deputy party leader, who issued a statement clarifying a Facebook post regarding the draft Peace-Building Society Enhancement Act.

Senator Phisit, directly addressed in the dispute, provided clarifications on the allegations, requesting that Pheu Thai stop distorting the bill's appendix and related senator disqualification cases. He stated that the appendix was barely modified, with only additions regarding violations of the Aviation Act of 1978 and 2015, unrelated to elections or senator disqualifications.

He criticized Pheu Thai for claiming the post was not fake news while displaying fake news behavior. He noted that while the party claims to uphold the parliamentary system, they refuse to accept parliament's majority vote approving the bill. He urged them to post-then-delete-then-deny strategy, stating that as the country's second-largest party enjoying public trust, they should not undermine that confidence. "If you're wrong, admit it clearly," Phisit said, "don't turn your party page into an IO page."

Regarding Nattapong, Phisit noted he often uses youth as a pretext while pushing Article 112 issues. The Senate added a clause to Article 11, paragraph two, stating the law does not grant amnesty in all Article 112-related cases. Phisit emphasized that youth rehabilitation processes for criminal cases already exist under the Juvenile and Family Court's authority.

Phisit clarified they don't intend to create new standards allowing certain ideologies to mislead uninformed youth. The Juvenile and Family Court already has assistance processes under Articles 90/1 and 132, applicable to all cases, not just Article 112 violations. If youth confess with a rehabilitation plan, they avoid imprisonment. Upon completing the plan, the court dismisses the case and the youth has no criminal record. The Senate does not want Article 11's amendment to conflate Article 112 defamation cases with political disputes, nor to create new standards misleading youth into thinking both issues are identical when they are fundamentally different.

Electric Bus Rentals Offer Green Alternative For Organizations

Organizations are increasingly turning to electric bus rentals to reduce carbon emissions and demonstrate environmental commitment while providing employees with comfortable, quiet transportation.

Electric Bus Rentals Offer Green Alternative For Organizations
7h ago Khaosod

As global focus shifts toward sustainability and environmental protection, electric bus rental services are gaining popularity as a practical solution. Beyond reducing carbon dioxide emissions, EV bus rentals enhance corporate image by demonstrating environmental commitment and social responsibility.

Why Modern Organizations Should Choose EV Bus Rentals

Selecting EV bus rentals is more than following green trends—it's a long-term investment that creates organizational value. Electric buses produce significantly lower emissions than traditional diesel engines, reducing PM2.5 particulates and noise pollution during travel. EV bus rentals help organizations clearly demonstrate their environmental stance, an increasingly important factor for customers, investors, and business partners. A key reason many organizations choose electric bus rentals is reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Electric buses run on battery power instead of fossil fuels.

When organizations use bus rental services for large-scale employee transportation, they significantly reduce personal vehicle use and fuel consumption, directly lowering their corporate carbon footprint. In many countries, electric buses are part of smart city development and climate change reduction plans, demonstrating that EV bus rentals truly align with the future of transportation.

EV Bus Rentals With Superior Comfort

Beyond environmental benefits, EV bus rentals provide enhanced travel comfort. Electric buses feature quiet operation, reduced vibration, and smooth rides. Passengers can rest, work, or hold meetings efficiently during transit—ideal for organizations seeking to improve travel quality for employees and executives.

Bus rental is a new solution meeting modern organizational needs across value, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Choosing EV bus rentals reduces carbon emissions, cuts air pollution, and supports sustainable transportation while elevating corporate image as contemporary and environmentally conscious. If your organization seeks a transportation solution benefiting both business and environment, EV bus rental is an answer worth considering.

Thai DJ Matoom Chases Korean Entertainment Dreams

Thai DJ Matoom self-taught Korean and now works monthly in South Korea as a model, actor, and host, crediting determination over luck for his success in the competitive entertainment industry.

Thai DJ Matoom Chases Korean Entertainment Dreams
7h ago Khaosod

DJ Matoom, full name Matoom Techin, shared his story while participating in a blessing ceremony and costume fitting for the Thai series "TIMEZONE เขตรักอันตราย" at Canvas Studio by Charcoal Design on Ladprao 71. His decision to pursue work in South Korea as a model, actor, and host came after he committed to self-teaching Korean language and flying to Korea monthly for work.

"It's not just luck," he explained. "It's the result of genuine effort. I taught myself Korean, practiced, and memorized vocabulary on my own. I now have regular shows in Korea through applications and online platforms where I must speak Korean as the main language, barely speaking Thai at all. I switch between English and Korean, and I fly there every month—I'm heading back on the 20th."

When asked why he chose to pursue South Korea's entertainment industry despite its difficulty, Matoom acknowledged the challenge. "It's the hardest thing I've done. I tried Vietnam before, but the context there is similar to Thailand. Korea is completely different. I like myself there because I get to start from zero again. In Thailand, I might be at number one hundred, but in Korea, every job is a fresh start—modeling, acting, hosting—everything."

He praised the professionalism of Korean film sets. "Even small scenes like chopping vegetables require meetings about camera angles and degrees. In Thai productions, we're not just in front of the camera but also serve as production houses. Getting to work there lets me bring their behind-the-scenes experience back to my own productions."

On his Korean language proficiency, Matoom remained humble. "I don't dare rate myself, but I was happy when someone directed me saying they'd lived in Korea for 8 years without being able to speak, but after watching my clips, they wanted to study again. I use simple vocabulary and easy pronunciation. Honestly, Korean isn't as hard as Thai—it has half the characters—but it's challenging because of vocabulary and pronunciation. It requires practice."

He emphasized that age is no barrier to learning. "I'm approaching 40, but I've given myself two years. Even if I don't succeed there, at least I'll bring back Korean language skills and become a Korean-speaking host in Thailand. There's no loss in that. Knowledge always finds a use."

His ultimate goal in Korea is ambitious yet humble. "I want to see myself on a billboard there someday—whether it's a billboard, a bus advertisement, or anything. Nobody knows me there. I've auditioned for eight jobs and only got one, facing competition from people older, more fluent, and more beautiful. But I have determination. I want to encourage people with dreams to keep pursuing them, whether they succeed or fail. At minimum, success is taking the first step."

Accomplishing modeling, acting, and hosting within one year is no small feat. "All of it happened within twelve months, all from my own effort," he said proudly. "Most recently, I was thrilled to have my first event in Korea wearing Hanbok. They saw that this Thai person could represent Korean culture. I'm grateful to the Thai Embassy in Korea and the Tourism Authority of Thailand for recognizing and giving me this chance as a Thai artist making a name there. Maybe not on Millié's level, but I'm one of the Millié's too."

Despite going international, Matoom still accepts Thai projects. "I still do. Mainly The Social Warrior and Talad Um Um—just these two things."

Rubber Smoking Facility Fire Destroys 10 Million Baht

A rubber smoking facility in Nakhon Si Thammarat's Chang Klang district caught fire early July 10, destroying an estimated 10 million baht in rubber sheets and equipment after flames spread rapidly through the kiln room.

Rubber Smoking Facility Fire Destroys 10 Million Baht
7h ago Khaosod

At 3:00 a.m. on July 10, 2569, Bunnyat Panaratna, the district chief of Chang Klang in Nakhon Si Thammarat, mobilized firefighting units from local government organizations across the area to battle a fire at a rubber sheet smoking facility in Chang Klang subdistrict. The fire rapidly spread through the smoking room containing large quantities of rubber. While workers and officials managed to evacuate some rubber sheets, substantial portions were completely destroyed. Firefighters spent over four hours controlling the flames, which continued to produce heavy smoke.

Initial investigations reveal that on July 9, workers had transported large quantities of raw rubber sheets into the smoking room, where fires were lit in kilns as part of the rubber smoking process. The fire ignited in the smoking room and spread rapidly. Authorities estimate damage to rubber sheets and facility structures at no less than 10 million baht, given current market prices of raw rubber at 83-85 baht per kilogram and grade-3 smoked rubber sheets exceeding 90 baht per kilogram.

District Chief Bunnyat confirmed the facility owner is Sirinida (surname withheld), operating a family business. Authorities are currently weighing the rubber brought into and removed from the facility to assess losses. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Actor S Guntapong Seeks Amicable Family Settlement

Actor S Guntapong is pursuing mediation to resolve his custody dispute with his ex-wife, hoping to reach an amicable settlement that prioritizes his daughter's well-being over legal conflict.

Actor S Guntapong Seeks Amicable Family Settlement
7h ago Khaosod

Being good friends would be best! Actor S Guntapong hopes to mediate his family problems and reach a positive resolution for his daughter's well-being. He revealed details about contact with his daughter.

Following his public disclosure of a serious family rift, actor S Guntapong explained that he was sued for divorce by his ex-wife shortly after recovering from a serious illness. His ex-wife is seeking 100 percent child custody, which prompted him to fight for his parental rights.

Recently, S Guntapong participated in the 10th annual "Step with Dharma" charity run in 2569 at the 100 Year Building of Wat Bowornnivet, where he updated his life and the family drama he has been through. He expressed hope for mediation and a peaceful resolution, as he does not want his daughter to know about adult problems.

When asked about his health: "Physical health is fine, okay? Don't ask about other things (laughs)."

Regarding his mental health: "It's okay."

Many people have been concerned about the tumultuous family situation. When asked how things have been: "I hope it can end well. I want it to be that way. There's still a lot we need to discuss, but I want it to end well for my daughter's sake."

When asked if this is a legal matter: "Yes."

S Guntapong hopes to resolve the family issue amicably for his daughter's sake. Regarding whether they are in litigation or mediation: "I hope they would prefer mediation. I want it to be that way."

When asked what he wants: "My heart wants... as I said, being good friends with each other would be best for my daughter."

"Wait, aren't we at a merit-making event?" (laughs)

When asked if he still thinks there are problems: "As I said, if we can talk things through, that would be best."

When asked about the next round regarding mediation: "Yes, it will be a discussion about mediation."

When asked how long: "Quite a while."

Regarding the prospects: "The prospects are unpredictable."

But you have flags prepared?: "Yes, it's something we may have discussed before, but it might still... as I said, I want us to be able to talk and do what's best for my daughter."

Is the atmosphere still tense when you meet?: "Whether you mean my side or hers personally, I might be a strange person. I'm not someone who easily harbors resentment toward others. If I feel resentful toward her, that's something I have to carry. So I don't really feel much."

S Guntapong focuses on his daughter's happiness, believing that when parents argue, children suffer unnecessarily.

When asked if there's anything stressing him: "Maybe it's not really stress, but wanting to make my daughter as happy as possible. It's more about thinking how to make her happy and benefit the most."

Before the scheduled date, has she contacted you?: "No."

Is there a chance to see your daughter?: "Somewhat."

Somewhat, but not very frequently?: "Yes."

Meaning you haven't clarified a weekly schedule for how many days you can see each other?: "Not yet. The last time I was interviewed compared to last year, it might be slightly better, maybe 5-10 percent."

How has it improved?: "I get to see her a bit more."

Since you don't see each other often, aside from in-person visits, do you have video call opportunities or things like that?: "None at all."

Mostly, what is the problem? We want to keep this a parental issue, right?: "Yes. I want it to be a parental matter because my daughter shouldn't have to know about any of this. The real reason I don't want to discuss these things is because I believe she is a loving mother, and I believe I'm doing my part as a father. Parents... it's not...

Meat Restaurant Staff Struggle With Months of Unpaid Wages

Staff at a popular meat restaurant haven't been paid in months, receiving only 6% of owed wages as the company claims financial hardship, leaving workers struggling to pay rent and bills.

Meat Restaurant Staff Struggle With Months of Unpaid Wages
8h ago Khaosod

Employees at a renowned meat restaurant are facing severe hardship after the company, citing financial difficulties, failed to pay salaries for several months and subsequently paid only 6% of what was owed. The situation became public when a Facebook page brought attention to multiple workers' pleas for fair treatment, claiming the company lacks sufficient cash flow and has delayed their wages. After employees pressed the company for payment, the firm recently dispersed only 6% of May's salary, while June's payment remains without a scheduled date. Many workers are struggling to cover vehicle installments, rent, and daily expenses. Some staff members said they had already filed complaints with authorities but saw no progress. A Facebook commenter later sarcastically noted specific cases, including one kitchen staff member earning 12,000 baht who received only 720 baht (6% of June salary), and another earning 15,000 baht who received just 900 baht.
