On July 10, a social media user shared the story of a Grade 9 student from a southern Thailand school who was hit on the head with a ping pong paddle during class, later requiring surgery for bleeding above and below the brain membrane combined with brain swelling. This sparked criticism about school safety measures.

The victim's sister told news outlets that the incident occurred around 10:00 a.m. on June 30 during an elective ping pong class. After some joking with the classmate, the other student struck the victim's head with a paddle, causing serious injury. A teacher took the victim to a health clinic and called the family around 11:00 a.m., reporting only a sports accident with a split wound on the head and bleeding. Health workers applied ice and sent him back to school, where he returned to afternoon classes as he seemed fine at the time.

However, the medical record merely stated "sports accident," raising the family's suspicion that the teacher had not fully explained the severity to health staff, potentially leading to underestimation of the injury and inadequate initial treatment.

The family later took him to a hospital where doctors discovered bleeding above and below the brain membrane, brain swelling, and a scraped wound on the right forehead. He underwent surgery. Though his condition is now stable and he can walk, speak, and smile more, the family worries about long-term brain effects.

The family has filed an assault complaint with local police, with further questioning scheduled for July 11. The school acknowledged the surgery was needed and scheduled a meeting with parents for July 14 to discuss findings and next steps. School administrators and teachers visited the hospital one day after the incident and gave 2,000 baht, but the family felt the support was insufficient.

The accused student's family visited on July 4, apologized, and promised to return July 6 but never came, with no further contact or financial assistance. The victim's family bears all medical costs themselves as the school's accident insurance cannot be claimed—this is classified as assault, not a typical accident. The family also worries about long-term brain-related treatment needs.

Star Hunter Entertainment has officially launched 'Time Zone: Dangerous Love Zone The Series,' transporting viewers back to the 1990s while bridging Gen X and Gen Z through a tale of opposite-pole romance. After stepping away from school-themed series for over a decade, the project marks a significant return for the company. The blessing ceremony and production prep have already been completed at Canvas Studio by Charcoal Design on Ladphrao 71.

Company Chairman O Yachon Kannarunn, CEO First Chanan Lapanonrunrung, and Director Mi Phuwadol Naowsopa discussed what makes the project special: it connects 1990s nostalgia with contemporary teenage romance, exploring a relationship between a student president and a mischievous back-of-the-class troublemaker—complete with romance, drama, and comedy. Matoom Tetchin Ploychaipon expressed enthusiasm about taking on a new role as school director, with DJ Tanhaum adding color to the cast.

When asked about the project's origins, Chairman O explained: 'Star Hunter has always been about series and films, offering complete entertainment. But we haven't made short-form BL series in a long time—not since Love Sick, over 10 years ago. Many people miss that Love Sick or Ruk Raeng Siam atmosphere from the 1990s when we were young. Time Zone will be special because it connects the 1990s past with the present, blending nostalgia with current teen experiences across all 10 episodes.'

CEO First described how the story bridges generations: 'This comes from our direct experience between Gen X and Gen Z. The plot has a nostalgic, romantic atmosphere, but the main setting is contemporary. The real charm is watching these polar-opposite characters meet—a student president and a delinquent—each with their own secrets that unfold throughout the series. Viewers will wonder how they could possibly fall in love.'

Director Mi shared insights on casting: 'We bought the novel two to three years ago but waited for the right casting. When Paya (Pipisarn Wuttiwat) and Amas (Amas Phiwphum) came on board, we knew they perfectly embodied their characters and are genuinely Gen Z. We're exploring the generation gap—like what happens when parents' courtship tactics are used in modern dating. There will be plenty of such hooks throughout the story.' On directing newcomers, Mi added: 'Though they're fresh faces, they're dedicated and hardworking, even sending homework assignments at 2-3 AM. I believe they have bright futures ahead, each with distinct personalities.'

On July 10, 2025, Priset Vichasin, a Pheu Thai list MP, gave an interview at Thammasat University after the Constitutional Court ruled 9-0 that the first 200 billion baht tranche complies with the Constitution for Middle East crisis relief, and 7-2 that the second 200 billion baht for energy transition is constitutional. He emphasized that the Constitution explicitly requires Parliament to convene an extraordinary session promptly once the court issues its ruling.

Vichasin stated he had conveyed this position to the deputy prime minister on July 9, understanding that the government is currently discussing when to schedule the meeting. He believes the government agrees that an extraordinary session is necessary to consider the 400 billion baht loan decree.

Vichasin further suggested that if an extraordinary session is called, the Clean Air Act bill should be included on the agenda simultaneously. The Senate spent four consecutive days this week deliberating the bill before passing it through the Senate with substantial amendments. "Therefore, if we bring this matter back for parliamentary consideration alongside the loan bill, should the House disagree with the Senate's amendments, we can immediately establish a joint House-Senate committee to work during the recess period without waiting until late August," Vichasin said.

Coach Thanathon ("Coach O") and Prapploy, a member of Thailand's historic women's futsal World Cup team, led the official launch of the seven-part documentary series "Grassroot Futsal: From Small Courts to Stardom" on July 10, 2025, at the Thai Sports Reporters Association hall within Hua Mark Athletic Stadium. The event was attended by prominent figures in Thai sports and futsal, including Dr. Usa Rungrote Kankarn, Manunyh Utthakawari, Kritsada Satjkul, Col. Vorawuth Thongseenam, and others.

Participants watched an introductory clip and heard behind-the-scenes stories from athletes and production staff about determination, dreams, and inspiration from children and youth in various communities. The documentary consists of seven episodes, each approximately 15-20 minutes long, featuring children and youth passionate about futsal training under diverse environmental constraints across seven courts nationwide, including crowded community courts at Flat Dindeang, courts beneath expressways, temple courts, mountain courts in Chiang Rai, mangrove courts in Bangkok, courts at schools for deaf students, and courts in Muslim communities.

Each episode follows a three-part structure: introducing local environments and community settings, discussing children's lifestyles, determination, and dreams, and culminating with a highlight segment called "Opening Dreams Courts." Professional futsal players and sports personnel, many of whom grew up on small courts, share their experiences and inspire youth. The documentary emphasizes that "children's dreams are never small regardless of court size," utilizing artificial intelligence technology to simulate and enhance the storytelling experience.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi celebrated pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng's second birthday on July 10 with a special event offering free admission for children. Zoo director Narongwit Chodchoy announced the opening of the new "Hippo Village" project, a 10-rai (16,000-square-metre) facility designed to enhance the living conditions of hippopotamuses and pygmy hippos, particularly Moo Deng and her family.

The zoo's financial performance has dramatically improved since Moo Deng's rise to global fame. Revenue jumped from 180 million baht in fiscal 2024 to 319 million baht in fiscal 2025, when Moo Deng's popularity peaked. With three months remaining in fiscal 2026, the zoo has already generated 160 million baht in revenue.

"Moo Deng and the other hippos in her family have become symbols of happiness and joy for many Thai people," Narongwit said. He encouraged visitors to explore other zoos operated by the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand, which also house hippopotamuses and pygmy hippos.

On July 10, 2024, the Facebook page Drama-addict posted a warning after a customer's girlfriend suffered an electrical shock at a buffet restaurant on July 1 at 4:50 p.m. While using a stainless steel ladle to serve curry from a heated metal tray, she was struck by electrical current and experienced chest pain and body tremors. Even a staff member who touched the tray was shocked. She was taken to a public hospital 10 kilometers away, received pain medication, and was discharged.

The following day, her condition worsened. A private hospital examination revealed nerve and muscle damage with an uncertain recovery timeline. She continues to experience hand tremors and chest pain daily. The man and his girlfriend have had to take time off work for medical appointments and specialist follow-ups.

After the incident, the restaurant discovered faulty electrical wiring causing the leak. The establishment offered one free meal and 5,000 baht compensation plus actual medical expenses covered by social security insurance. The customer expressed that this compensation is inadequate given the ongoing impact on daily life, work, childcare, and the family's mental health. He urged all restaurants to inspect and repair electrical system hazards to prevent similar incidents.
