Singer Fluke Addresses Alleged Affair In Emotional Posts
7h ago Khaosod

Singer Fluke Thitikorn has broken his silence on a personal matter, posting cryptically that he would do anything except allow his friend's wife to be involved—a situation he says he has known about and tolerated for two years. In his posts, Fluke expressed his emotional turmoil, stating that while the other person wronged him, nobody sympathized with him. However, when he considers retaliating, he worries about the other person's wellbeing. "Am I angry? Very angry. Very sad," he wrote, "because I've known about it all along but pretended not to know, trying to keep everything intact."

Fluke opened chat conversations with the other party, who denies being unfaithful, though Fluke shared messages showing them exchanging "I love you" statements. He revealed he has been aware of the situation for two years and began documenting it before he and the other person ended their relationship. In emotional posts accompanied by videos of himself crying, Fluke explained his internal conflict: "I humbled myself by reaching out to his ex-girlfriend to ask him to stop this behavior, to preserve my family and my child. Everyone sees me giving in until I don't know how much more I can take."

Fluke pleaded with the other party through chat messages to stop interfering with his wife and to step back so his family could remain whole. He described the torment of being a family man who wants to sleep beside his child and wife, but has been aware of the affair without daring to speak up for fear of losing his family. The situation remains ongoing as both parties' full accounts await public revelation.

Klopp Reveals Liverpool's Costly Mbappé Pursuit Effort
7h ago Khaosod

Jürgen Klopp, former Liverpool manager, has revealed how the Reds attempted to sign French international striker Kylian Mbappé during his time at Monaco by chartering a private jet for negotiations. While Liverpool showed strong interest in bringing Mbappé to Anfield when Klopp was in charge, the player ultimately decided to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for €180 million. Recently, Klopp, now serving as a special commentator for the 2026 World Cup, encountered Mbappé again following France's 2-0 victory over Morocco in the quarterfinals. On that occasion, Klopp disclosed the extent of Liverpool's efforts to sign the then-27-year-old star, describing the negotiation process as the club's most expensive non-transfer investment due to the private jet charter. "This was an investment that wasn't a purchase—the most expensive thing the club has ever done," Klopp explained. "Mbappé's entire family boarded a private jet with five bedrooms or something like that [traveling from Blackpool to Nice, France]. We spared no effort. We flew around and spoke with his family, had wonderful meals together." He added with a hint of regret: "We flew around—it was wonderful. And then he went to Paris."

Hugo Broos Steps Down As South Africa Coach
7h ago Khaosod

Hugo Broos has confirmed his resignation as South Africa's national team coach, despite successfully leading the team to the World Cup knockout round for the first time. While he had previously stated before the 2026 World Cup that he would step down, his position wavered after South Africa lost to Canada in the round of 32 on June 28, when he suggested he might stay on. However, in an interview in his native Belgium, Broos made clear he will not continue as South Africa's coach, although he indicated he could serve in an advisory capacity. "Will I continue as a coach? No, that's definite," Broos said. "If they want me to do something else, like player recruitment, that's another matter. But football won't be part of my life 24/7 anymore." He added that he has spoken with the South African Football Association president, who wants him to remain in a different role as a consultant or similar position. Broos will return in late July for a final farewell and to hear what the federation proposes. After five years in the role, Broos became the longest-serving coach in the country's history and led South Africa to the World Cup knockout round for the first time in 16 years.

Thailand Faces Super-Aged Society Within 5 Years

Thailand will become a super-aged society within five years as births plunge and deaths surge, threatening labor supply and economic productivity, the Industry Minister warned while calling for the cement sector to lead the nation's transit

Thailand Faces Super-Aged Society Within 5 Years
7h ago Khaosod

Industry Minister Varawut Silpaarch delivered a keynote address titled "ONE MIND, Shared Future: Toward Net Zero 2050" at the Thai Cement Manufacturers Association's (TCMA) 20th anniversary celebration, held at the Grand Centre Point Prestige Hotel in Bangkok. He emphasized that the cement industry stands at a critical juncture for Thailand, serving not only as a foundational industry supporting infrastructure and economic development, but also playing a crucial role in reducing Thailand's greenhouse gas emissions.

The Ministry of Industry is accelerating the industrial sector's transition to a green economy under the Net Zero 2050 target. Future competitiveness will no longer be measured solely by production costs, but by the ability to reduce carbon emissions, manage resources efficiently, and operate according to ESG principles—increasingly becoming a prerequisite for global trade.

As a high-emission industrial sector classified as Industrial Process and Product Use (IPPU), the cement industry must lead the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Ministry is pushing support measures across the entire value chain, including Smart and Green Mining projects, reducing clinker content, developing new low-carbon cement variants like LC3 (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement), and piloting carbon capture technology to align Thai industry with global standards.

The industrial sector is facing a "Poly Crisis"—a complex crisis across four dimensions directly impacting costs and competitiveness: geopolitical and geoeconomic instability affecting energy and raw material prices; climate and environmental challenges increasing pressure on manufacturing; non-tariff trade barriers such as the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM); and structural demographic changes reducing the country's quality workforce.

"The most concerning issue is Thailand's entry into a super-aged society within the next five years," Varawut warned. "In 2024, Thailand recorded only around 400,000 births while experiencing over 500,000 deaths, resulting in a total fertility rate of just 0.8—among the world's lowest. This could significantly impact labor supply and long-term economic productivity."

Over the next 20 years, the Thai cement industry will undergo major transformations across three dimensions: transitioning from traditional cement to low-carbon and zero-carbon cement; developing a comprehensive circular economy where cement plants become processing hubs for municipal waste and industrial byproducts as alternative energy and raw materials; and upgrading to smart factories utilizing AI, robotics, and automation to increase production efficiency and address labor shortages.

Varawut emphasized that ESG is no longer merely corporate social responsibility—it is now a "License to Operate" for future business. "Companies that fail to adapt to environmental and carbon standards risk losing their competitive edge in global markets," he concluded.

French captain Kylian Mbappe says France's path to World Cup glory remains long despite advancing to the semi-finals, and provided an update on his ankle injury. Mbappe scored his 8th goal of the tournament, tying him with Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot, as France defeated Morocco 2-0 in the quarter-final on July 9. With this victory, France advanced to the semi-finals to await the winner of the Spain vs. Belgium match. Mbappe has now scored 20 goals across all World Cup tournaments, second all-time behind Messi's 21.

After the match, Mbappe discussed France's remaining challenge for the title: "We still have a long way to go. We know what awaits us ahead is more difficult than what we've already overcome."

"But we're ready to face everything. We'll rest and recover, and watch tomorrow's match (Spain vs. Belgium) to see who we'll face next."

The 27-year-old also addressed the ankle injury that forced him off the pitch in the 77th minute, noting he was treated with ice but felt fine. "I'm okay. I took a knock to my ankle, but everything is alright now. Jean-Philippe Mateta was more than ready to play in the final 15 minutes," Mbappe said.

The next alert will be issued on July 10 at 5 p.m.

French head coach Didier Deschamps was pleased with France's advancement to the World Cup semi-finals for the third consecutive time, while Morocco's head coach Mohamed Walid Regragui acknowledged disappointment but expressed confidence in his team's bright future.

In the 2026 World Cup quarter-final on July 9, France, the defending runner-up, defeated Morocco 2-0. Goals came from Kylian Mbappé in the 60th minute and Ousmane Dembélé in the 66th minute. Mbappé also missed a penalty kick in the 28th minute.

France has now reached the World Cup semi-finals three consecutive times, following their 2018 world championship and 2022 runner-up finish. They await the winner of the Spain-Belgium match scheduled for July 14.

Deschamps stated: "This is our third consecutive World Cup semi-final appearance, which is certainly a positive thing. Of course, it's because I have exceptional players; without them we couldn't have reached this point. We're now where we want to be. After this, we'll rest and see who our next opponent will be."

Regragui said: "Our team's future will be bright if everything continues in this direction. This result is certainly disappointing. We did everything we could, but we faced a very strong opponent. We will continue working for the future."

Man Kills Wife, Claims She Turned Into Demon

A man in Chachoengsao Province strangled his wife to death in a rental room early July 10, claiming he saw her face transform into a demon; police suspect drug-induced hallucinations caused the fatal attack.

Man Kills Wife, Claims She Turned Into Demon
8h ago Khaosod

A heavily intoxicated man strangled his wife to death in a rental room after claiming to see her face transform into a demon. He then reported the incident to the room attendant. Police suspect the incident resulted from drug-induced hallucinations.

At 4:30 a.m. on July 10, 2025, Lieutenant Gawin Chuinok of Muang Chachoengsao Police Station received a report of a young woman who had been fatally assaulted in a rental room, a two-story row house in Moo 3, Ban Suan Subdistrict, Muang District, Chachoengsao Province. Upon receiving the report, officers immediately traveled to the scene accompanied by on-call doctors from Chachoengsao Hospital and rescue staff from Thammarasmee Manirat Foundation.

The incident occurred in an unnamed two-story rental room, unit 326 on the second floor. Inside, police discovered the body of Pipi Moke, 24, a Myanmar national, lying deceased. Examination revealed bruising around the neck consistent with strangulation. Officers cordoned off the area and photographed the evidence.

At the scene, police apprehended So Suso, 23, a Myanmar national and the victim's husband, who was the perpetrator. At the time of arrest, So Suso appeared intoxicated and was experiencing hallucinations, speaking incoherently. Officers took him to calm down before further questioning at Muang Chachoengsao Police Station.

According to questioning of Ms. Da (pseudonym), the room attendant, she recounted that after the incident, So Suso came to tell her "Fen has died," referring to the victim by her nickname. The victim's brother then rushed upstairs to check the room and found the body lying motionless. They attempted to perform CPR but were unable to save her.

The room attendant further revealed that the perpetrator told people in the building that he saw his wife transform into a ghost and a demon, which prompted him to commit the act. It is believed the incident resulted from intoxication or hallucinations caused by drugs, though the specific substance involved remains unclear.

Police have taken So Suso into custody for detailed questioning to determine the true cause of the incident. They are awaiting official autopsy results from medical examiners before proceeding with legal charges.
