On July 8, 2025, Deputy National Police Commissioner Trairong Phipphanan, acting as the police spokesman, visited the Police K-9 training center under the Special Training Command of the Border Patrol Police in Cha-am, Phetchaburi. The facility trains police dogs to specialize in detecting narcotics, explosives, and tracking suspects to assist in investigations, arrests, and crime prevention while protecting public safety.

Deputy Commissioner Trairong explained that the Border Patrol Police K-9 unit has two primary roles: tactical tracking and explosive detection, particularly in southern border provinces, and drug detection operations. Recently, K-9 trainers and dogs have been deployed to search airports and transportation hubs to prevent drug smuggling abroad, following orders from National Police Commissioner Kittisak Phanphech.

Currently, 168 police K-9 dogs are deployed across various Border Patrol Police and Metropolitan Police divisions to support security operations, maintain order, and combat crime. The K-9 training center has also achieved recognition, winning awards for obedience and explosive detection in competitions.

The spokesman called for continued development of training methods using modern tactics, techniques, and technology to combat emerging crimes such as smuggling electronics used in online fraud. He also instructed that trainer and dog welfare be closely monitored, emphasizing that current training follows international standards with appropriate work schedules for maximum efficiency and quarterly reviews to maintain standards.

For safety, dogs are trained never to dig or disturb suspicious objects to prevent accidental explosions. The police spokesman requested that when encountering working K-9 units in public areas, citizens should not disturb or play with the dogs as they require full concentration. However, during rest periods, the public may ask trainers for permission to greet, pet, or photograph the dogs.

The Thai Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (THAICID) officially opened the "THAICID Network Week for Integrated Knowledge Exchange 2026" (THAICID-NWIKS 2026) under the theme "Smarter Water for a Stronger Future." The event serves as a central platform for exchanging knowledge, research, technology, and innovation in irrigation, drainage, and water management, while building collaborative networks to address climate change challenges and advance Thailand's water management toward sustainability.

Held on July 8, 2026, at Kasetsart University's 80-year building in Kamphaeng Saen, Nakhon Pathom province, Dr. Vachira Suadi, advisor to the Royal Irrigation Department's director-general and THAICID committee consultant, officially opened the event through the symbolic "Key of Knowledge," representing the opening of doors to integrated knowledge exchange, innovation, and water collaboration. This reflects THAICID-NWIKS 2026's role in connecting people, knowledge, technology, and collaborative networks to collectively advance Thailand's water management future. The event was chaired by Yongyos Niyamtrap, a civil engineering expert in planning and projects at the Royal Irrigation Department, alongside Dr. Nophadol Kovsuwan, deputy director of Irrigation Office 11, who serves as vice-chair of THAICID's academic committee. The event drew widespread participation from academics, researchers, government and private sector representatives, educational institutions, farmers, water user groups, and international network partners.

THAICID-NWIKS 2026 runs from July 8–10, 2026, with three days of activities spanning policy level, global technology, academic research, and practical applications in agriculture and communities. July 8 features the 19th National Symposium on Irrigation and Drainage, with special sessions from senior ICID officials and Thailand's water policy leaders presenting future water management visions covering smart irrigation, IoT, remote sensing, digital water technology, flood and drought-resilient cities, participatory water governance, and AI applications for water and agricultural management, supplemented by invited and peer-reviewed papers from diverse experts.

July 9 hosts "Dongtan Software Day," presenting smart water management technology and software knowledge from world-leading organizations including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Deltares, Kasetsart University, and Panya Consultant Co., Ltd. Topics include reservoir sediment management, water forecasting, flood risk management, emergency dam-break planning, salinity prediction, and water quality monitoring systems for agriculture.

July 10 features an INWEPF-Thailand forum titled "Future Farming and Water-Efficient Rice Cultivation: Chapter 7 - Full Harvest with the Wet-Dry Alternation Model," sharing knowledge on rice field water management, alternate wetting and drying techniques, and expansion to irrigated areas through practical experience exchange.

Honda Big Bike organized the 'Honda MINI TRACK 2026 Round 2' event at Kaeng Krachan Circuit in Phetchaburi province on June 27-28, 2026, welcoming Honda motorcycle customers to experience the thrill of riding on a real racing circuit while developing their riding skills to full capacity.

Over the two-day event, participants learned both theory and practiced actual riding in an atmosphere filled with the passion and energy of the biking community.

In a recent interview on the program "Tiang Wan Tan Heit Karngan," Garrchai addressed the case, explaining that while the court has offered mediation as part of its process, he is not yet ready to accept settlement. "The court's mediation process is one thing, but I have explained to the court through my lawyer that I may not be ready for mediation at this stage. I want to wait and see how the defendant behaves during the trial first," he said.

Garrchai confirmed he has seen Pu's three settlement proposals but will not consider them until the appropriate time. "I have seen her three proposals, but I will not consider all three of them until the right moment comes. For now, I won't," he stated.

He emphasized that he wants to exercise his legal rights to present the facts before pursuing settlement. "The court is kind to offer mediation, but I have been wronged all along. I feel I should use my rights first to prove the facts—to show that what has happened to me is not very fair. We can discuss mediation another time," Garrchai concluded.

A 39-year-old man reported to Muang Udon Thani police station at 10:30 a.m. on July 8, 2569 with severe facial injuries and blood streaming from his nose after being attacked by an illegal loan shark gang. Officers observed his injuries were serious with significant bleeding and immediately contacted rescue workers from the Udon Thani Dharma Promotion Foundation to provide emergency first aid before transporting him urgently to the hospital.

The victim, identified as Mr. A, explained that he had borrowed 4,000 baht from an unlicensed lender with an agreement to repay 100 baht daily. He had been making regular payments and owed only a small amount remaining, but recent financial hardship caused him to miss some payments. He believes this prompted the gang's violent reaction.

"I was walking at a morning market in Nong Hai subdistrict when suddenly the loan group's vehicle pulled up. As soon as they saw me, they stopped and attacked me immediately without giving me a chance to react," he said, adding that he recognized one of the attackers as Pakhin.

After assessing the situation and questioning, police from Muang Udon Thani determined that Nong Hai subdistrict falls under Huai Luang police station's jurisdiction. They advised the victim to complete medical treatment first, then travel to file a detailed complaint with Huai Luang police so legal action can be taken against the brutal loan shark gang.

When asked why he was smiling in the clip, he said he was still drunk, as was the other woman. Ball stated he would not return to Bam, and admitted that during a previous attempt to reconcile, he had hit and slapped her once.
