SCMC (Srisukho Clinic at Mahanakhon Center) held a Buddhist blessing ceremony and clinic merit-making on the second floor of Mahanakhon Center, Silom Soi 9, with Phra Achan Paisal Wisalo, abbot of Wat Pa Sukhato in Chaiyaphum province, presiding as the spiritual leader. Dr. Chanetsda Srisukho, founder and director of SCMC, revealed that the merit-making ceremony marks a significant transformation as the clinic rebrands and elevates itself from a beauty clinic to a regional-level metabolic medicine center. The newly redesigned Amporn Lounge reception area honors his grandmother, a renowned tailor, embodying the philosophy of personalized care and the clinic's mission: "Care with heartfelt compassion and healing standards, bringing comfort during illness with faith to overcome suffering."

The rebranding elevates the clinic through heart-centered service standards with a 10-year vision (2025–2035) to expand from beauty and weight management into a regional metabolic medicine center while enhancing the patient experience to five-star hotel standards for both Thai and international clients. SCMC has received the WhatClinic Service Awards for 2023–2025 based on feedback from over 400 foreign service users.

The clinic now offers two advanced technologies: Coolfase (radiofrequency skin tightening with cooling) and Liftera 2 (dual-mode HIFU non-surgical lifting), along with new services including a weekly women's health clinic on Thursdays, a permanent free doctor consultation policy, and a metabolic wellness program. Key services include physician-supervised weight management and body contouring with nutrition and muscle care; comprehensive non-surgical beauty treatments including HIFU, fillers, Botox, laser, and acne care; a two-hour signature facial massage program; custom vitamin drips developed from Srisukho Hospital formulas; hospital-level health screening with ultrasound and electrocardiography; and a women's health clinic led by Dr. Chanyavali Srisukho, with over 40 years of experience, held every Thursday.

The clinic provides hotel-standard service with staff trained by John Robert Powers and the Nai Lert Butler Institute, with weekly quality checks by Dr. Chanyavali. For 2025–2035, SCMC aims to develop into a regional-level metabolic medicine center, expanding the international patient base while maintaining its standard of five-star hotel service with national-level medical care, and forging partnerships with leading beauty centers and global hospital networks. Those interested in consultations can visit the second floor of Mahanakhon Center (2/21).

A Grade 9 student at a secondary school in Bang Khu Wiang subdistrict, Bang Kruai district, suffered serious injuries after falling through an old tiled roof on 24 July 2026. The student climbed onto the roof during lunch break to retrieve earphones that had fallen there while he was on the phone with his mother. When he stepped on the roof, the fragile tiles collapsed under his weight, causing him to fall through and strike his head on a wooden plank below, resulting in a fractured neck and seizures. Emergency responders rushed him to hospital where he was admitted to the intensive care unit. Police superintendent Pol. Col. Phasakorn Chaitawiwong was alerted to the incident, and an inspection revealed a large hole in the roof connecting two school buildings with broken tiles and wood scattered across the area. The school has since warned students about the dangers of accessing rooftops and other potentially hazardous areas on campus.

BANGKOK — 24 July 2026, Thailand's women's water polo team defeated Japan 17-13 to claim the silver medal at the Asian Age Group Championships, boosting the aquatics chief's confidence ahead of a podium finish at the 2026 Asian Games.

The 2026 Asian Age Group Championships concluded at the Thammasat University Aquatic Centre in Rangsit, with the highlight of the final day of competition featuring the women's division, where the Thai squad—fielding nine players from its Asian Games training squad—faced a similarly prepared Japanese national team. Both teams entered the contest with identical records of four wins and one defeat, while China had already secured the gold medal after winning all six of its matches.

The winner of the Thailand-Japan clash would claim the silver medal, while the loser would receive bronze.

Thailand played with confidence in the opening period and raced to a 7-3 lead before extending its advantage to 10-4 by half-time. However, Japan rallied in the third quarter, narrowing the gap to 12-9. Thailand responded with disciplined defence and quick counter-attacks using long-ball passing after Israeli head coach Maxim Kordonskiy swiftly adjusted the team's tactics.

Thailand was also supported by an outstanding performance from goalkeeper Phanthila Asayut, the reigning Most Valuable Player of Israel's women's water polo league, who produced a series of crucial saves. Paranee Chotirojananont also impressed with superb lob shots, helping Thailand secure a 17-13 victory over Japan and the silver medal.

After the match, Kordonskiy praised his players for delivering one of their best performances. "It was an excellent competition for the youth division," he said. "Against Japan, we focused on keeping the team relaxed, and that allowed them to perform well. The final quarter changed the game because our defence became much stronger."

He added that the team still needed to improve in all areas ahead of the Asian Games.

Sueb Chaiya, chairman of the Water Polo Committee of the Aquatic Sports Association of Thailand, said the Thai women's victory over Japan to secure the silver medal had further strengthened the team's confidence, noting that the squad forms the core of Thailand's team for the upcoming Asian Games. "Our target is to finish among the top three at the Asian Games, and after this result we are confident we have a strong chance of achieving that goal," he said.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against Supaporn Pimpongse with the Economic Crime Suppression Division for submitting false share-holding and derivative transaction reports for directors, executives, auditors, and plan administrators (Form 59) and false securities acquisition or disposal reports (Form 246-2) to the SEC office. The SEC's investigation determined that Supaporn submitted four Form 59 reports covering four listed companies between June 27-28, 2569, and seven Form 246-2 reports covering six listed companies between June 30 and July 2, 2569. However, Supaporn never actually held shares or acquired or disposed of securities in any of these listed companies as claimed in the reports. Her actions constitute filing false documents with the SEC, violating Section 302/1 of the Securities and Exchange Act, B.E. 2535.

The SEC said it carefully monitored Supaporn's filings and took immediate action upon detecting irregularities. The commission removed her Form 59 data from the system when it discovered she was not a director, executive, or authorized reporting person. It marked the Form 246-2 reports as "preliminary information" on July 3, 2569, to alert investors. On July 7, the SEC changed the status to "under verification" while conducting deeper investigation. After confirming the inaccuracies with relevant parties, the SEC removed all reported data from its public database on July 8, 2569.

Enok Yueyuen, SEC Deputy Secretary-General and Spokesperson, stated that the SEC followed proper procedures and prioritized data accuracy for investor decision-making. The commission immediately flagged the Form 246-2 irregularities while conducting thorough evidence gathering before removing the data from the system. On July 10, 2569, the SEC coordinated with the Economic Crime Suppression Division to verify Supaporn's identity and request her statement, following due process of law. The SEC is now studying additional preventive measures in collaboration with relevant parties to strengthen confidence in capital market information.
