On June 30, Transport Ministry Deputy Sompetch Bunyamani announced that following a construction barge capsizing opposite Suksawat Soi 84 in Phra Samut Chedi district, Samut Prakan province near Thai Central Chemical Company's pier, he has ordered the Port Authority to conduct a thorough safety inspection of the company's dock facility and surrounding port structures.

The inspection will include checking the structural integrity of at least one pier on each side—both north and south—to ensure the incident has not affected other nearby dock structures. Officials have been instructed to ensure all safety systems meet international standards to provide maximum public assurance and safety, and authorities confirmed there are no dangerous gas pipelines in the incident area.

Regarding the search for one missing person, coordination has been made with a goodwill foundation to deploy a rescue team of 10 divers who are now stationed at the site and ready to conduct a full-scale search. All personnel have been reminded to prioritize safety during the operation. Two injured persons have already been transported to Paolo Hospital in Prapradeang.

Members of the public who witness emergencies, water accidents, or unsafe conditions at port areas are urged to contact the Port Authority's 24-hour water safety hotline at 1199.

On June 30, 2569, representatives from the three armed forces—Gen. Chaiyaprueksa Duangprawat (Army Chief of Staff acting as Army Operations Center Chief), Adm. Thadawut Tatpitakgul (Navy Chief of Staff acting as Navy Operations Center Chief), and Air Chief Marshal Anurak Ramnarak (Air Force Chief of Staff acting as Air Force Operations Center Chief)—inspected the Eastern Region Command's operations in Sa Kaeo province's border areas at Ban Nong Jan, Ban Khlong Phaeng, and Bueng Takwan checkpoint.

The inspection aimed to monitor operational readiness, coordinate military actions across all three services, and prepare comprehensive military capabilities for maximum operational effectiveness. The three chiefs also met with relevant agencies to integrate plans and objectives for joint military operations across the Suranari, Burapha, and Chanthaburi-Trat Border Defense Command areas, ensuring unified direction, coherence, and optimal efficiency.

This field inspection followed an Eastern Region Command directive restricting access to agricultural areas in border markers 46-47 east of Si Phent Road in Ban Nong Jan, Non Tambon, Khok Sung District, Sa Kaeo province, between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. to prevent suspicious groups from entering the zone.

Nearly 100 Lopburi monkeys broke out of their enclosure and entered local homes, likely driven by heat, hunger, stress, and desire for freedom. Authorities mobilized to recapture them using tranquilizer darts and baited traps at multiple locations.

On June 30, 2025, Samruan Sachaphop, mayor of Lopburi City Municipality, received a report from staff at the municipal animal nursery in Pho Kao Tom subdistrict that monkeys held in the Department of National Parks' care had escaped their enclosure. Nearly 100 monkeys got out, though officials prevented over 1,000 remaining in the same cage from fleeing further. The mayor immediately ordered staff and relevant agencies to recapture the escaped monkeys quickly to prevent public disturbance and trouble for residents.

Veeraphong Rit Rod, Lopburi's provincial governor, traveled to the site with district officials, the municipality, the Department of National Parks, the provincial Dharma Center, and the livestock office to coordinate a capture plan. Officials conducted capture operations across multiple locations and successfully brought back some monkeys. Simultaneously, another team repaired the damaged enclosure.

Governor Veeraphong revealed that the municipality's disaster prevention staff, working with the Department of National Parks, launched capture operations and reinforced the broken section of the enclosure. Some escaped monkeys have been recaptured, while others still roam the surrounding area. Long-term solutions include upgrading to a stronger, double-layered enclosure that monkeys cannot break through. The province is also establishing a foundation to manage the monkeys' diet and living conditions.

Mayor Samruan explained that recapture operations are ongoing, with some monkeys returning voluntarily and others requiring active capture. The animals escaped due to heat, hunger, stress, and desire for freedom. Officials will return all escaped monkeys to their enclosure as quickly as possible without disturbing residents. The municipality apologizes to affected residents and urges them to report any damage so officials can provide compensation.

After posting a bikini photo with the caption "Better hurry before my body changes," actress Kimberly Ann Voltemas sparked speculation that she might be expecting. However, on June 30th, she clarified her family planning timeline during an appearance at the "Good Fortune Luncheon" event at Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park. Speaking with her husband Maak Parin, Kimberly acknowledged they weren't ready this year and may have missed the window due to her continuous filming commitments throughout 2025.

She revealed that she's already frozen her eggs and her doctor confirmed her excellent health, leaving her confident about conceiving quickly when the opportunity arises—what she jokingly calls "opening and closing the door quickly." Regarding visiting sacred temples in Hong Kong to pray for children, as some friends have suggested, Kimberly said she hasn't thought about it because she doesn't want children right now.

When asked if she and her best friend Nadezhda Kukirimiya (Anya Urasiaya) would get pregnant together, Kimberly laughed it off, saying Anya hadn't mentioned any timeline. She explained her current focus is work, as filming runs continuously through the year. She dismissed pregnancy speculation, explaining she simply took the bikini photo in the morning when her body looked good, knowing she'd "ruin it" after eating at the hotel's many restaurants. She joked that Anya even texted her asking her not to reveal anything before the wedding.

When pressed about whether conceiving requires divine intervention, Kimberly noted that some friends who desperately wanted children found them elusive until combining spiritual and medical approaches. She expressed confidence in her own health and genetics, saying both she and her husband are equally "fit," joking they're ready to "open and close the door quickly" when the time comes. However, she emphasized that 2025 likely won't be the year, as her filming schedule extends through year-end with another production beginning shortly after.

CHIANG MAI — 30 June 2026, A disciplinary teacher at a well-known school in Chiang Mai has been arrested after a female student and her family sought help from the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women over allegations that he had groomed and sexually abused her on multiple occasions. Thailand's Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) has also ordered his dismissal from the civil service.

Pavena Hongsakul, president of the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women, said the victim's mother brought her daughter to the foundation on Thursday, alleging that the suspect, a disciplinary teacher and recipient of a distinguished teacher award, had groomed and sexually abused the student on multiple occasions. He is also accused of coercing her into sending inappropriate images through chat messages.

The victim's mother said she only became aware of the situation after information circulated on social media. She later accompanied her daughter to file a police complaint at Fang Police Station on 18 June, and the girl underwent medical examinations as part of the investigation. The mother added that her daughter is currently suffering from severe psychological trauma.

The mother further alleged that after the complaint was filed, several people contacted her in an attempt to persuade the family to withdraw the case or enter mediation, claiming that local influential figures could act as intermediaries. The family refused, insisting on full legal prosecution, and submitted all relevant evidence to investigators.

The Pavena Foundation coordinated with Chiang Mai Provincial Police and officers at Fang Police Station to closely monitor the case. Investigators later gathered sufficient evidence to seek an arrest warrant for the suspect, which was approved by the court.

Police charged the teacher with multiple offences related to the sexual abuse of a minor before taking him to court for detention. Investigators opposed bail, and the court denied his temporary release, citing concerns that he could flee or interfere with evidence. He has since been remanded in custody and transferred to prison.

The Pavena Foundation said it will continue working with relevant agencies to provide support and rehabilitation to the victim while monitoring the progress of the case. Separately, OBEC has ordered the teacher's dismissal from the civil service pending the outcome of both the criminal case and disciplinary proceedings.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United has directly contacted Marcus Rashford's representatives to arrange the English forward's return to Old Trafford. The club has informed Rashford's agents that it wants him back for pre-season training as part of new manager Michael Carrick's team-building strategy. Rashford appears receptive to a fresh start under Carrick's tenure.

The situation has been complicated by Barcelona's position. His loan spell at the Spanish club has ended, and while Barcelona wanted to extend the loan for another season, they were unwilling to pay the £26 million purchase price. Manchester United rejected all loan proposals, effectively forcing Rashford to return to his parent club.

However, Carrick cannot guarantee Rashford's long-term future, as the player holds a release clause in his contract. If another club makes an attractive offer, a transfer could still occur. Currently, Rashford is under contract with Manchester United until 2028.
