NPP Realty & Consultants has achieved a significant milestone by closing the final unit sale of InterContinental Residences Hua Hin, bringing the project to 100% sellout with a total value of approximately 3.84 billion baht. The last unit sold was a 3-bedroom duplex apartment worth around 50 million baht, one of the most sought-after unit types in the project due to its limited availability of just 2 units. These duplexes stand out for their expansive living spaces, exceptional privacy, and design perfectly suited to genuine beachfront living.

Throughout the sales period, the project set new standards for luxury real estate in Hua Hin, with average transaction prices exceeding 250,000 baht per square meter, reflecting the premium potential of prime beachfront locations and strong demand from buyers seeking world-class branded residential properties in Thailand's premier coastal destination. NPP Realty & Consultants served as the buyer's representative through its specialized Property Personal Shopper service, providing comprehensive strategic advisory covering property selection, investment potential analysis, and transaction management to align with clients' long-term investment and lifestyle goals.

This sales completion represents not only a success for the world-class branded residence project in Thailand but also demonstrates NPP Realty & Consultants' prominent role among Thailand's fastest-growing luxury real estate consultancies. Throughout 2025, the company has achieved notable results, including closing luxury penthouse sales valued at 2 billion baht in central Bangkok, coordinating the acquisition of 22 rai of land in Hua Hin district for BECC International School development, and successfully closing five super-luxury pool villas under a single transaction—marking one of the most significant high-end real estate deals in Hua Hin this year.

Nattcha Bunkrong, CEO of NPP Realty & Consultants, stated that the luxury real estate market is changing rapidly, with current buyers seeking not just beautiful properties but valuable long-term assets that preserve worth and deliver genuine quality of life. "The successful completion of InterContinental Residences Hua Hin and our major transactions this year reflect the trust clients have placed in our team," she said. The InterContinental Residences Hua Hin project was developed by Proud Real Estate in partnership with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) under the "All is Well" concept.

Former footballer Roy Keane, commenting for ITV, criticized Egypt national team coach Hossam Hassan for blaming everything else rather than taking responsibility after Egypt's 2-3 loss to Argentina in the 2026 World Cup round of 16.

Hassan was dissatisfied after conceding a late comeback, arguing that Egypt should have scored a goal that was disallowed by VAR. He also noted that Egypt was not awarded a penalty after being fouled in the box, unlike Argentina who received one in the first half. Hassan subsequently claimed that FIFA had pre-planned Argentina's advancement for marketing reasons.

However, Roy Keane countered: "That's the kind of excuse you'd expect from a fan after a poor performance, not from a national team manager. If your team is losing 2-0 late in the game, the first thing you should do is look in the mirror and see what you missed."

"Every time Messi wins, people start talking about conspiracy theories instead of discussing football. It's lazy. Lazy to accept defeat, lazy to analyze what went wrong, and unwilling to improve your team. Blaming referees and claiming the tournament is a marketing plot doesn't change the fact that your team couldn't hold the score until the end of the game. That's not the mentality a national team manager should have. Leaders must take responsibility. They don't make excuses."

A woman has filed a police report against her husband following the viral spread of a video showing him in bed with another woman. The incident occurred when the woman, known as Bam, discovered her husband with another woman and recorded the encounter on her phone. Enraged that they were still legally married, Bam struck her husband with a green thermos flask, causing the video to spread rapidly across social media with over 77 million views before it was eventually deleted. Online users focused on details in the video, including a Doraemon pillow and green thermos visible on the bed.

Bam revealed that after recording the incident, her husband attacked her, and his associate Ball attempted to snatch her phone while chasing her around a car and beating her with a wooden stick until it broke. Heartbroken that Ball chose to protect the other woman rather than defend her, Bam announced she will not return to her husband and is requesting custody of their child.

Ball, the husband's associate, later claimed in an interview that the husband was drunk on payday after drinking beer with coworkers and asked the woman in the video to give him a ride home. Ball acknowledged that the husband is no longer in love with Bam, saying she insults him and his friends and shows him no respect. When asked why the husband appeared to be smiling while lying in bed, Ball stated both he and the woman were intoxicated. Ball also revealed that the husband will not return to Bam, admitting he had previously gone to the house to try to reconcile but found she no longer loved him. He acknowledged hitting and slapping Bam once during the incident. Regarding Bam's threat to file for infidelity, Ball questioned what she would gain, noting the other woman has no husband and works at the same factory, and that they both want a divorce anyway.
