Police have identified a group of suspects in the mysterious death of a former national tennis team athlete and are gathering evidence before issuing arrest warrants, focusing on personal conflicts and property disputes. Deputy Commander Chokuchai Ngamwong visited Nong Prueao Police Station in Chonburi on July 27, 2026, to oversee the investigation into the death of Nathvir, 64, a retired Thai national tennis player who died in his accommodation. Deputy Commander Wasutrachai Chaitherapat and station commander Nathapol Pong Suksakul attended the coordinated meeting with investigating officers.

After the meeting, Chokuchai revealed that the case has progressed significantly, but because the incident occurred on the night of July 25, he could not disclose full details to avoid compromising the investigation. Officers have been continuously collecting witness statements, examining circumstantial evidence, and gathering forensic evidence, allowing them to identify suspects for further investigation. "The individuals currently being questioned remain in witness status while officers screen information and systematically eliminate unrelated persons," he stated.

Regarding arrest warrants, Chokuchai indicated that evidence collection is still ongoing to confirm the perpetrator's identity with certainty, so no warrants have been issued yet. The investigation is pursuing multiple leads, including personal disputes, property theft, and personal matters, with authorities committed to quickly resolving the case and prosecuting the responsible parties.

Sleek has joined forces with ICBC Leasing (Thailand) to introduce the "SLEEK Green Loan" campaign, offering affordable financing for electric motorcycle ownership. Kantinun Tanveenung, CEO and co-founder of Sleek EV, announced that the program aims to improve access to financing and make it easier for professional riders to own electric motorcycles. The loan provides a maximum credit amount of 86,900 baht with repayment periods up to 36 months, with entry-level monthly payments of 3,362 baht or approximately 113 baht per day.

The campaign comes amid surging growth in electric vehicle and motorcycle adoption in the commercial transport sector. Demand for electric vehicles has climbed more than 35% compared to the same quarter last year, fueled by rising consumer environmental consciousness. Sleek developed the Green Loan initiative to support riders seeking commercial use of electric motorcycles, offering flexible ownership options and financial relief.

Customers can apply for the SLEEK Green Loan with any Sleek electric motorcycle model, including the SLEEK PLAY and TYPE-E. The program reduces upfront capital barriers while supporting long-term energy cost and maintenance management. The partnership reflects Sleek's commitment to building a comprehensive ecosystem that supports riders throughout their journey—not just through vehicle sales, but also energy services, after-sales support, and appropriate financing options. This enables riders to confidently start their careers, generate income, and enjoy improved quality of life through reduced costs, increased earning opportunities, and sustainable transportation.

Actor and television personality Auan Rangsit Sirinananth has upset his fans by posting about an incident involving his young son Roha, who was scratched on the face by another child while playing at an amusement park inside a shopping mall. Auan questioned parental supervision and admitted he was unsure how he would have reacted if he had been there.

In his post, Auan shared a photo showing scratches on Roha's face and wrote: "If your child has behavioral or mental issues, you should supervise them closely rather than letting them become a social threat like this. The incident happened yesterday when my wife and son went to play at an amusement park in a mall in the Nonthaburi area (I wasn't with them). As Roha was walking into the trampoline area, a child who appeared to be at least 10 years old walked up and scratched his face for no reason, then followed and continued scratching him even though Roha did nothing and didn't fight back. Anyone who knows Roha knows he is a well-behaved child who would never initiate conflict or fight with anyone. After seeing the video, that's exactly how it happened. If I had been there, I'm not sure I could have controlled my emotions. My son shouldn't have to experience something like this. Finally, I want to thank the Klinique for providing first aid to Roha's wound." He added hashtags #WhatShouldIDo and #ChildWithMentalDisorder.

Fans have expressed concern and sympathy, with many commenting that the other child's parents should be held responsible, suggesting Roha was fortunate the injury wasn't more serious, and recommending that the mall's security footage be reviewed and warnings given to both the child and parents.

Bangkok's deputy governor coordinated all city agencies to reorganize the area layout and relocate service points to accommodate construction of the royal crematorium for the royal funeral ceremony of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, scheduled for July 27, 2026.

At a meeting of the Field Command Center in Pranakorn District, Deputy Governor Thaiwut Khankaew presided over the third meeting of the coordination body, with representatives from Bangkok municipal offices, the Fine Arts Department, the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMA), and other relevant agencies in attendance.

Deputy Governor Thaiwut briefed the meeting on progress in site preparation and the layout plan for constructing the royal crematorium and its supporting structures for the royal funeral ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit Phra Borom Rajini Nath, the Queen Mother. The Fine Arts Department will extend temporary fencing on the western side to begin construction on August 1, 2026, necessitating the relocation of rest tents and royal food distribution points from that area.

The Public Works Office has been assigned to prepare a comprehensive area map that clearly designates each agency's work zones. Pranakorn District Office will coordinate with local police to manage access routes to pay respects and traffic flow to ensure safety and minimize impact on the public.

Regarding area management and public services, various service points such as royal food distribution and medical services will be relocated to the tunnel area in front of the Grand Palace, with the tunnel interior organized proportionally, neatly, and appropriately for service delivery.

Additionally, the Public Relations Office will relocate large LED screens from the rest tent and food distribution areas, beginning tonight until completion, with some screens to be installed at the royal kitchen area. Communications systems and supporting equipment will be checked to ensure readiness, along with public announcements about tent relocations and changes to the access routes for paying respects, so the public receives comprehensive information.

All agencies have been instructed to ensure orderliness and readiness for ongoing operations, including checking personnel preparedness and verifying opening and closing times for public communication. The Environment Office will be tasked with maintaining cleanliness, managing mobile public restrooms, and handling waste disposal continuously, while coordinating with relevant agencies to prepare for the royal ceremony and tribute exhibitions.

Deputy National Police Chief Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairongpipatthanaporn announced a nationwide ban on all alcohol sales—wholesale and retail—for 48 hours from midnight July 29 to midnight July 30, 2025, except at licensed venues.

Thailand's Health Ministry launched an investigation into security breaches affecting the 'Mor Prom' mobile application after receiving more than 400 complaints from users claiming their medical records were accessed and used without permission. Health Minister Pattana Prom-Pattana revealed the issue on July 27, explaining that some users discovered hospital visits recorded in their Mor Prom history that they never actually attended, including cases where they denied ever seeing doctors or receiving medication at those facilities.

The minister clarified that Mor Prom is a data aggregation platform designed to display health records from various healthcare providers rather than a direct service provider itself. Launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, the app consolidates medical information from hospitals, health clinics, and other healthcare units to give citizens access to their own health data. The app has been expanded to allow appointment booking for medical consultations, vaccinations, and hospital services.

Pattana acknowledged possible sources of discrepancies, including data entry mistakes, misunderstandings, fraudulent claims, or cases where hospitals conducted off-site examinations that patients may not have realized. He emphasized that the app itself functions normally and recommended citizens report any inaccuracies directly through the application, allowing the backend system to investigate further while removing incorrect records from public view. The ministry expects to resolve the matter within two weeks and has invited all healthcare providers to connect their data systems with Mor Prom to enhance transparency and build comprehensive health databases for the nation.
