Khon Kaen police have issued five summons in the Pa Adulyaram temple trespassing case, including one for a woman known as Pa Da and four vehicle owners. Police say the trespassing charge is separate from an ongoing land-ownership dispute, and the temple has been reported as a suspicious location on three previous occasions.

On August 14, Deputy Inspector Yoswatchai Kaewsuebnit, superintendent of Muang Khon Kaen police station, reported progress in investigating the alleged trespassing by a group of men. Analysis of CCTV footage and witness evidence identified four vehicles connected to the incident: two vans, one cement mixer truck, and one material-carrying pickup truck. Police have questioned the vehicle owners as witnesses. The cement mixer driver stated he was ordered by a shop manager to deliver cement in the area, believing it was to facilitate traffic flow. Police also invited the person who ordered the cement to provide information and establish connections to the case.

Police have now issued five summons total: one for Pa Da and four for the vehicle owners. Pa Da's summon was sent to her registered address in Bangkok, but police have received no response. CCTV footage and witness testimony confirm Pa Da was present at the scene and must be questioned to establish the facts and determine her involvement.

Regarding one van that travelled from Bangkok, police are coordinating with Bangkok Metropolitan Police to check for links to other cases in the Phra Khanong precinct. On the trespassing charge itself, police clarified that the key issue is the right of possession. If outsiders interfere with a landowner's right of possession, this may constitute trespassing regardless of whether a land-ownership dispute remains unresolved.

Police also addressed claims that the temple may be a suspicious location. They stated that the temple had been inspected approximately three times following complaints, with urine tests conducted on monks and temple residents. Most tests showed no narcotics, with only one temple boy testing positive in one instance, leading to legal proceedings. Police found insufficient CCTV coverage—cameras were present only at the abbot's quarters, with none at the entrance or surrounding areas. Police officers collected funds to donate cameras to the temple for additional security.

Police confirmed they will expedite questioning of all witnesses and those involved to establish facts and proceed with legal action.

What happens to your body if you nap regularly after lunch for three consecutive months? Health experts outline four remarkable changes.

Compiled by the Sadfon Online news team on August 14, 2025, based on international media reports. The period between noon and 2 p.m. represents a natural low-energy point in the body's circadian rhythm, causing drowsiness. After eating, the body redirects blood to the stomach to aid digestion, which may increase afternoon sleepiness.

If you nap appropriately and consistently for three months, your body may experience multiple benefits with four observable changes:

1. Brain Rest and Reduced Fatigue Hours of hard work and stress keep the nervous system operating continuously, leading to fatigue, weakness, and afternoon concentration loss. Short naps allow the body and brain time to recover, potentially reducing drowsiness, sharpening focus, and improving response times when returning to work.

2. Better Metabolic Support Lunch provides substantial energy, but sitting for hours afterward may cause heaviness and sluggishness. Proper midday rest allows organs to relax after digestion and helps regulate metabolism and blood sugar levels, reducing post-meal fatigue and boosting afternoon alertness.

3. Improved Sleep Consistency and Nighttime Sleep Quality People who stay up late or sleep too little at night often feel groggy the next afternoon. Short midday naps can restore some energy, reduce fatigue, and maintain alertness for the remainder of the day.

4. Stronger Blood Vessels and Stable Blood Pressure Prolonged work stress strains the cardiovascular system, affecting blood pressure. A midday rest acts as a "stress break," allowing the nervous and circulatory systems to relax and reducing the heart's workload. Consistent proper naps may reduce daily blood pressure fluctuations and improve circulatory stability.

However, not everyone feels refreshed after napping. Continued fatigue after waking may indicate poor napping habits:

Napping immediately after eating: The stomach is actively digesting. Lying flat increases the risk of acid reflux, bloating, and indigestion, and may reduce blood flow to the brain. A 10-15 minute light walk after eating is recommended instead.

Napping longer than 60 minutes: The body may enter deep sleep, causing grogginess upon waking, similar to "losing time," along with possible headaches, fatigue, and afternoon sluggishness.

Napping at a desk: This posture may compress the chest, lungs, neck blood vessels, and restrict blood flow to the brain. Lying flat on a bed or reclining in a chair with proper back support is preferable.

On August 14, 2025, Democrat party list MP Chuan Leekphai commented on assault charges filed against party colleague Chaiyachon Detchdecho, a list MP and deputy regional head overseeing the South. Chaiyachon faces charges over an alleged assault on a deputy director at Thung Yai Police Station in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Chuan said he is following the case but has not yet verified the facts, learning about it only from news reports. When asked whether the matter would affect the party, he deferred to party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva for comment, but stressed that everyone must be equal before the law.

When pressed on whether the incident could damage the party's southern support base, Chuan said he was uncertain. However, he argued that the real issue facing current politics is vote-buying, not this case. He revealed he has written to the Election Commission chairman noting that the previous election cost the most money in history as parties competed to secure parliamentary seats and form government, and that without winning, parties might resort to illegal tactics like undermining the Senate. Chuan said he received a thank-you response from the commission chairman but nothing from the secretary-general.

"We survived the last election because we ran a party-list campaign," Chuan explained. "If we had run in constituency races, we would have been less certain of victory. But because of the party-list system, we gained more MPs since other parties spend less on party-list candidates."

Election Commission Chairman Sitthichote Intrawisase announced on August 14, 2025, that an Elections Commission staff member found to have accepted bribes in Tak and Maha Sarakham election cases has been terminated. In the Tak case, which involved local election fraud and bribery, the commission received complaints and opened an investigation, determining the staff member had acted improperly; the disciplinary committee has already voted to dismiss this officer. In the Maha Sarakham case, the same officer was assigned to investigate further allegations in a House election matter and was similarly found to have engaged in bribery. That dismissal was processed first, but disciplinary proceedings in the second case are still pending; the preliminary findings of the disciplinary committee recommend termination, with a final decision expected soon from the subcommittee.

Intrawisase stated that while suspicious financial transfers to the officer from persons other than the House candidates themselves have been identified—including connections to Senate member Sukhsamruay Wantaniyakul and her associate Anyani Siifa—no new investigation has been opened into these links because insufficient forensic or witness evidence currently exists to establish a prima facie case. He rejected suggestions that previous election investigations involving this officer should be reopened, saying no grounds or evidence yet justify reopening closed cases.

When asked about concerns over the Senate selection dispute case, in which the opposition plans to introduce additional evidence this weekend, Intrawisase said the commission has no worries and will base its judgment on evidence presented in the proceedings. The main investigation subcommittee's findings are considered the primary basis for any decision, he added.

On August 14, Deputy Commander Pathanasak Bupphasuwon ordered officers including Deputy Commander Netiwit Thanasit and Ratchaa Makmani to coordinate with Chonburi provincial police to apprehend Zhang, a 30-year-old Chinese national, at a condominium in Pattaya's Nong Prua subdistrict, Bang Lamung district. Zhang was wanted by Chinese authorities on fraud and money laundering charges, and in Thailand for overstaying his visa.

The arrest followed an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Division, the Center for Combating Transnational Crime and Human Trafficking, and the Anti-Online Fraud Center. Zhang was identified as a ringleader who recruited and directed a network to collect ATM cards and bank accounts for cash withdrawals and transfer of fraud proceeds to obscure financial trails and evade arrest.

Investigation revealed that between 2566 and 2567, Zhang traveled to Thailand to command online scam gangs using the country as an operational base. He rotated team members through personal bank accounts in his network to receive stolen funds, then ordered subordinates to withdraw large sums for money laundering. Total fund circulation reached approximately 18 million Chinese yuan, or about 8.8 million baht in damages.

When Zhang learned Chinese authorities had issued a warrant against him, he fled through Japan before illegally sneaking back into Thailand in March 2568 to hide. Police tracked him to Pattaya and coordinated with Chonburi provincial police to apprehend him at the condominium.

Under interrogation, Zhang confessed to using Thailand as a base for laundering scam proceeds and hiding from Chinese authorities. Officials are pushing for his extradition to face charges in China.

Nabil Anane, a Thai-Algerian-French boxer and former ONE world champion, has faced online criticism after being pushed to compete at the Olympics by ONE Championship, the International Muaythai Federation, and the Thai Olympic Committee. Chatri Sisodian, president of ONE Championship, defended Nabil at a press conference, saying the boxer chose to compete for Thailand despite financial losses for everyone involved. Chatri expressed disappointment at the social media attacks and criticized those without the credentials of Samart Payakaroon, the legendary Olympic gold medalist, for speaking negatively about Nabil.

Chatri emphasized that Nabil has a genuine chance of winning a gold medal, noting that lightweight boxing is significantly more competitive than heavyweight divisions. "If we love our country, we must work together and support Nabil instead of attacking him on social media," Chatri stated. He expressed confidence in Nabil's ability to win gold, adding that he would not have pushed the boxer into Olympic boxing if he did not believe in his chances.
