Sunaree Ratchasima, a renowned country music vocalist, has provided an update on her condition following her emergency admission for severe abdominal pain. She shared photos before and after undergoing a colonoscopy procedure and tissue removal from her colon for medical examination through her social media account Sunaree Ratchasima.

In her update, she explained: "I've completed the colonoscopy procedure. I've been hungry since the 24th and haven't eaten anything. The doctor performed the colonoscopy, removed stool that was stuck in my intestines, and took a tissue sample from the area where a narrowing in the colon was preventing bowel movements. I'm waiting for the biopsy results in about a week. I want to thank everyone—family, relatives, and fans—for their concern and support. Wishing everyone good health."

Sunaree expressed her gratitude to all those who have been worried about her recovery.

Pheu Thai party list MP Ekaphop Sithiwannatana revealed the party's stance on the universal health insurance scheme, known as the gold card, following questions from the Rural Doctors Association about the party's position. Pheu Thai supports amending the National Health Security Act of 2002 to address weaknesses and make the system more sustainable and efficient in terms of budget, service quality, and worker morale.

Ekaphop outlined seven key amendments: (1) Restructure the National Health Security Board by increasing representation from service users and healthcare providers like doctors and nurses while reducing government officials, addressing the board's stagnation and lack of fresh perspectives; (2) Promote democracy by having some board members elected directly to enhance accountability in decision-making; (3) Use quality academic data to select benefit packages and adjust payment rates from the National Health Security Office to reflect actual costs; (4) Establish uniform core benefits across all three funds—the National Health Security Fund, Social Security Fund, and civil service medical benefits—to eliminate the Robin Hood phenomenon where hospitals shift funds between schemes; (5) Increase budgets and support personnel with fair compensation to prevent brain drain and staff turnover; (6) Secure additional funding from those able to pay for supplementary benefits, including employers as employee welfare, private insurance holders, and state support for informal workers and farmers; and (7) Strengthen primary healthcare services through investments in community and workplace health promotion, treatment, and accurate referrals.

Ekaphop stated that most proposals came from Pheu Thai's previous election platform, except point two, which he and fellow MPs added. The party will review all proposals, including the government's draft law, before deciding on its approach. He emphasized: "The party affirms it will not support any law that reduces public benefits or increases public burden in accessing healthcare, and will push for greater representation of the public and service providers on the health security board while reducing government proportion."

Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has responded to a Facebook post supporting legal action against iLaw director Yingcheep Atchanont over the disclosure of politicians' names in an alleged Senate election collusion case. On 26 July 2026, Anutin reportedly confirmed that he would pursue legal action against Yingcheep, director of the Internet Dialogue on Law Reform (iLaw), after nine individuals, including the prime minister and politicians from the Bhumjaithai Party, were named in connection with the case. The development came after the Facebook page "Raksa Phaendin" posted a message expressing support for Anutin and other relevant parties to pursue legal action against Yingcheep and iLaw "to the fullest extent." Anutin responded to the post with the comment: "Noted. Will act accordingly."

On July 26, 2569, at Parliament, Yingluck Achanunt, manager of the iLaw (Internet for the People's Law) project, discussed preparations following the Prime Minister and Bhumjaithai Party's continued lawsuits against him. He stated that vast evidence related to Senate election fraud schemes exists in the files of the Election Commission and the Special Cases Investigation Department—approximately 90,000 pages total—of which his organization possesses only 5%. The information he has publicly disclosed represents merely a fraction of what is available. If the Election Commission orders prosecution, all evidence will be presented in court through proper legal procedures. Should any defendant be acquitted despite clear evidence, he warned he would have no choice but to publicly reveal related financial transaction information.

When asked about an invitation from Suksomruay Wandontiyakul, Amnat Charoen MP and Bhumjaithai minister, to visit Amnat Charoen province, Achanunt said he would not hesitate to go if needed to present facts. He reiterated that if the accused comes forward and clarifies everything fully, the matter would be resolved. However, he stressed that he possesses far more information than what he has already disclosed publicly and that witness testimony remains credible regardless of accusations that witnesses are unreliable.

Regarding claims that he might acknowledge some information could be inaccurate, Achanunt stated he has sources for all his data and verification systems in place. While some details might prove incorrect upon scrutiny, he emphasized there is no malicious intent. He noted that the nine individuals he named have far more associated evidence than he has revealed, and he called on the opposition to investigate and present findings to court. He maintained he has no power beyond what he has already done and that responsibility lies with the opposition.

Police have arrested two drug trafficking suspects, Komsarn (alias Games), 30, and Thanaphavat (alias Watthan), 45, at an unmarked shelter in Tambon Nong Khaem, Amphoe Nong Khaem, Saraburi province. Officers seized 9.56 million methamphetamine tablets valued at over 500 million baht that were being hidden at the location before transport into inner Bangkok for distribution.

The arrests followed an investigation into a major drug trafficking network that began in early 2025. Police discovered the suspects were receiving narcotics from a large-scale dealer who used vans for illegal distribution, storing drugs at the Saraburi shelter to avoid detection. Further investigation revealed the network planned to retrieve additional supplies from major dealers in central Thailand using vans before smuggling them into Bangkok for sale.

After surveillance identified the shelter as a drug storage facility, officers obtained a warrant and conducted a raid, uncovering the massive stash deliberately hidden at that location. The suspects face charges of jointly distributing Category 1 drugs (methamphetamine or amphetamine) without authorization for commercial purposes, with intent to spread drugs among the public and threaten national security and public safety. Police continue investigating the broader drug network.
