At 6:26 PM on May 6, 2569, Kanchanadit Police Station in Surat Thani province received a report that a police officer had been hit by a bus while apprehending a suspect and sustained critical injuries near a Super Cheap store in Tha Thong Nai subdistrict, Kanchanadit district, Surat Thani province. Investigation and rescue personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene.

When they arrived, they found Pol. Sgt. Natthapon Khuea Dej (nicknamed "Muay Thai"), a patrol supervisor at Kanchanadit Police Station, lying face-down on the roadside median strip in critical condition and unconscious. He had severe injuries including a fractured skull and a severely deformed right wrist fracture. A green bus with a shattered right windshield was parked nearby at the scene.

Rescue personnel from Surat Thani Kusalasat Foundation rushed him to Kanchanadit Hospital before transferring him to Surat Thani Hospital. Doctors discovered significant internal bleeding in the abdominal cavity and rushed him into surgery for emergency drainage. His fractured skull required a CT scan for further assessment. His condition remains stable with close medical supervision.

Investigation revealed that prior to the incident, Pol. Sgt. Natthapon had been tracking and attempting to arrest Natthapaht, a suspect accused of stealing water meter protective caps from residential properties. After receiving a report that the suspect was spotted near a sausage stand, the officer made the arrest. However, while being transported, Natthapaht resisted and fled across the street. Pol. Sgt. Natthapon and another officer pursued him closely, but as they crossed the street, a bus traveling at high speed struck Pol. Sgt. Natthapon, sending him flying into the middle of the road. The suspect, Natthapaht, escaped into a nearby alley but was subsequently apprehended.

Initial charges against the suspect include illegally carrying a knife in a public residential area and possession of methamphetamine (Category 1 drug). The theft charges remain under further investigation for prosecution.

Naphak Pengsuk, the People's Party candidate for the Bangkok Metropolitan Council seat in Ladprao District, took to Facebook on May 6 to solicit public opinion on his election strategy. He asked constituents: "For this election campaign in Ladprao, I'm thinking of not putting up campaign posters to avoid creating clutter and obstruction. What do you all think?"

The post generated extensive debate with divergent viewpoints. Supporters of his idea argued that campaign posters were unnecessary since residents already know him, while some felt their voting decision was already made regardless of signage. Others disagreed, suggesting he should display posters if placed strategically without obstructing walkways, or use smaller-sized materials. Some commenters emphasized that posters were essential for name recognition, noting that certain voters don't follow online platforms and need offline reminders. One critic warned that avoiding posters would be negligent, cautioning that a significant portion of the community doesn't stay constantly connected online.

Additional suggestions included placing posters at existing advertising boards or central locations. Some noted that while online campaigns are more effective in today's era, offline signage should still focus on communicating policies and ideology.

Following ONE Championship featherweight kickboxing champion Superbon's withdrawal from his scheduled bout against Chinese fighter Liu Mengyang at The Inner Circle on Friday, May 22nd, citing injury concerns, Liu Mengyang has posted a video response questioning whether Superbon's withdrawal was due to genuine injury or fear. Liu questioned the sudden withdrawal with only two weeks remaining before the competition.

Liu further mocked Superbon, suggesting he's too old and undeserving of the 'King of Muay Thai' title. In a scathing message, Liu said: "You don't have the courage to fight. I sympathize with you. You got away this time, but next time remember to bring your tail. When eating rice, just sit at the kids' table."

Meanwhile, Liu Mengyang will face Gabriel Perreira from Venezuela in a featherweight kickboxing bout as the main event replacement at The Inner Circle on Friday, May 22nd.
