On April 25, 2025, authorities reported that in the early morning hours of April 24, officers from Surat Thani City Police Station received notification from Surat Thani Hospital of two gunshot victims admitted for treatment. Lieutenant Suwit Makduang and Deputy Inspector Lieutenant Supruek Chanyuenyong, along with investigation teams and related agencies, immediately responded to investigate.

Initial investigation revealed that the two victims were driving a Honda sedan out of a residential area in Khao Tha Petch, heading into Surat Thani city via the Surat Thani-Na Sarn Road, with the male driver at the wheel and the female passenger in the front seat. Near the Kuan Prani area in Makham Tia Subdistrict, Surat Thani's Mueang District, a 39-year-old suspect—the ex-husband of the female victim—drove an unidentified vehicle and cut off their car. He then fired a gun of unknown caliber at the vehicle, striking the male driver on the right side of the waist and the female passenger below the chin. The suspect fled the scene rapidly, while both victims managed to drive themselves to Surat Thani Hospital for immediate treatment.

Both victims remain hospitalized under close medical care. Police investigation units and forensic experts from Center 8 conducted detailed on-site inspection and reviewed nearby CCTV footage to track the suspect's escape route. Authorities are gathering evidence to seek a court warrant for the suspect's arrest and legal prosecution.

Police are actively pursuing the suspect as this violent incident on a public road has caused considerable alarm among residents in the area.

Wat Talingchan in Jrakhaihan Subdistrict, Khon Buri District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province is home to an intricately carved wooden Buddha image known as "Luang Pho Mai Kaen Chanthorn," estimated to be over 100 years old. Installed within the ordination hall, it is held in high reverence by locals who consider it a sacred protective deity that grants blessings and fulfills desires. The main image stands approximately 90 centimeters tall with a shoulder width of about 30 centimeters, depicted in a meditative seated posture with hands resting on the knees. Two smaller companion images, carved from what appears to be the same wood, flank the main figure.

Adding to the temple's spiritual significance is a remarkable giant tamarind tree in front of the ordination hall, requiring two to three people to embrace its trunk. At its base is a natural relief-like formation resembling a figure raising hands in reverence to the ordination hall, creating an aura of sanctity. According to Phra Athikan Bunpring Tewdhamma, the temple's abbot, community records indicate the Buddha image likely dates back well over a century. Documentary evidence of the temple's establishment includes sangha boundary marking records from 1943, suggesting the temple's founding predates this formal demarcation by many years.

Locals believe Luang Pho Mai Kaen Chanthorn serves as the village guardian spirit, with devotees petitioning for fortune, prosperity, and the fulfillment of wishes. The image is typically locked away securely and displayed only during important ceremonial occasions. The temple also offers stunning viewpoints overlooking the Mun Dam reservoir, with golden-peaked Chom Thong Mountain in the background, nicknamed "Fuji Khon Buri" for its resemblance to Japan's Mount Fuji. The viewpoint provides glimpses of the picturesque local lifestyle.

Previously, government agencies and the community collaborated to develop this viewpoint as a key tourist attraction for Khon Buri District, initially constructing a bamboo platform extending into the river above the dam. However, deterioration prompted renovation using durable hardwood to ensure longevity and safety for visitors.

Weekly probability trends (April 26 – May 2, 2025) by Sethaput Lakna.

Aries natives will have sharp wit and many livelihood opportunities this week. You'll find unexpected income from beauty, art, communication work, or serving as a special instructor at various institutions. This is a favorable period where your communications benefit yourself and help resolve immediate problems for your group. However, enemies will be very close during this time, and past mistakes may become tools for them to attack you when opportunity arises. Family members may cause loss of benefits or distance themselves temporarily. Nevertheless, you'll need to exercise greater patience than others.

Taurus natives will have charm with the general public this week. Most matters you bring to authority figures will succeed, but awaited negotiations and business dealings may disappoint. Your wit may not match competitors and those around you. Sometimes sensitivity prevents you from solving both personal and public problems. You may become tired of relatives' improper conduct or wish to temporarily relocate far away. Enemies will naturally separate from you without requiring action on your part, and this is a good opportunity to turn enemies into friends, even if they've caused you hardship before. You should speak less during this period.

Gemini natives will gain benefits from travel or experience good fortune during journeys this week. However, don't expect gains from distant contacts or foreign language speakers. Avoid involvement with modern equipment or high technology. Abandoned ventures may resurface to discredit or embarrass you. Don't delegate important tasks to subordinates or dependents without close supervision, as you're prone to trouble from people with inferior qualifications and maturity. Nevertheless, your current business will progress further after May 2025 ends.

Cancer natives will need to endure diverse situations this week and may face crises requiring greater composure and prudence than usual, even learning to smile in the face of danger. Don't panic or overreact to mistakes, as when your time comes, you'll benefit from your own actions without extra effort. Beware of theft of important documents or valuable contracts. Education and exams at all levels may require more effort to match others' performance. You may have to leave your residence unwillingly.

Leo natives will have sharp thinking this week. You'll be able to invest in major ventures with proper support from authorities and knowledgeable people. You'll spend money on construction or home improvements to better suit work and communication, or happily spend on family members' comfort. Acting as a broker or mediator in disputes will bring success and benefits. You'll solve various problems with intelligence and understanding. However, you shouldn't let others see or display ostentatious behavior, especially regarding opposite sex or romantic matters.

Virgo natives will have good fortune this week...
