The girlfriend of Atthapang, nicknamed "Ball," one of the suspects in a five-victim murder and corpse-concealment case, revealed on August 2, 2569 that her boyfriend did not intentionally participate in the crimes but was tricked by a man named Thana, nicknamed "Pong," into going to collect a debt before discovering it was a murder. She claims that after the incident, he experienced anxiety, insomnia, and fear for their family's safety.

She stated that "Ball" had known "Pong" for over seven to eight years from a period when they were involved in drug-related work. After "Pong" was released from prison, he contacted "Ball" to demand repayment of approximately 20,000 baht and sent threats through others, causing "Ball" to fear retaliation since "Pong" knew their family's address.

On the day of the incident, she claimed "Pong" invited "Ball" to collect a debt or loan repayment, leading him to agree without advance knowledge of any murders. When "Ball" returned home, he cried and embraced her in fear, unable to sleep and appearing traumatized by what he witnessed, but refusing to disclose full details fearing his family might become targets if they knew too much.

According to her account, "Ball" only mentioned that upon arriving at the scene, he found a grave already dug, immediately sensing something was wrong as this was not a debt collection as he had been told. She confirmed that "Ball" never claimed to have shot the victims nor revealed who wielded the murder weapon.

She further alleged that after the incident, "Pong" monitored "Ball's" movements to see whether he would report to police, and threatened harm to those involved and their families if information about the case was disclosed.

She revealed that after "Ball" turned himself in, he called her only once, instructing her to secure the house, protect the family's safety, and apologizing to everyone, but providing no details about who committed the murders.

She expressed concern for "Ball's" safety while in custody and requested authorities separate his detention from other suspects, fearing he might face harm.

Phuket woman charged after beheading mother-in-lawLegacyA woman was arrested after allegedly beheading her mother-in-law with a kitchen knife following an argument at their home in Phuket yesterday, August 1. Police were called to the property in Chalong, Mueang district, at around 9.25am after neighbours reported the killing. The victim, 74 year old Chantra, was found dead inside the house. The accused, identified as 36 year old Sri, was found in the bathroom after neighbours restrained her before police arrived. Police believe the two women argued while alone in the house before Sri allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and beheaded her mother-in-law. Photo via MGR Online Sri was arrested at the scene and taken to Chalong Police Station for further questioning before being charged with murder. Chantra’s body was sent to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Police said the accused’s husband, who is also the victim’s son, had left for work shortly before the incident, leaving the two women alone in the house. He told investigators the couple had lived together for more than a decade and that Sri had cared for her mother-in-law by helping with her daily needs. He also said she had been receiving treatment for a psychiatric condition since 2016. Photo via MGR Online The first witness at the scene, 34 year old Thapanee, said she was riding past the house when she noticed the elderly woman lying near the doorway. Thinking the victim had collapsed, she went to alert relatives before returning and noticing blood, prompting neighbours to contact the police. Officers said they are continuing to investigate the motive and have not yet determined what triggered the attack. Elsewhere, a 73 year old woman was found murdered at her home in Ayutthaya. A 44 year old suspect later confessed, telling police he entered the house at night before assaulting and suffocating the victim with a pillow.

At 11:00 a.m. on August 2, 2569, Mr. Somboonsomphone (surname withheld), 64, filed a complaint with the "Sai Mai Tong Rawt" Facebook page seeking justice and assistance after suffering serious complications from a tooth extraction procedure at a dental clinic in the Theparak area. On June 5, he had visited the clinic for a preliminary examination, where the treating dentist identified three lower adjacent teeth requiring extraction, scheduled at one tooth per week over three weeks.

The first two extractions in weeks one and two were performed correctly by the original dentist. However, in week three, when the final tooth was scheduled for removal, a different dentist took over the case and mistakenly extracted a different tooth not covered by the treatment agreement. Because the patient was under anesthesia, he did not realize the error until he returned home and checked his mouth.

The wrong extraction has severely impacted his quality of life, as the incorrectly removed tooth was essential for anchoring his denture. He now struggles significantly with eating and chewing. When he attempted to contact the clinic for clarification, they refused to connect him with the original dentist and declined to take any responsibility. He subsequently filed a report with Samut Prakan Police before bringing the matter to the "Sai Mai Tong Rawt" page.

Ekkapon Luangprasert, founder of the "Sai Mai Tong Rawt" page, has urged Samut Prakan's provincial health department and police to investigate the dentist involved and compel her to issue a formal explanation and provide a replacement denture at no charge, given her direct responsibility for the error.

Wat Tham Pla in Mae Sai, Chiang Rai province, experiences a remarkable annual transformation during the rainy season and Buddhist Lent, when moss and ferns entirely coat the historic pagoda in emerald green. This natural phenomenon occurs only during this brief seasonal window—once the rains end, the moss dries and the stupa returns to its original appearance, making it a true once-a-year spectacle that visitors cannot miss. The jade-colored tower, framed by the sound of rain and surrounded by lush greenery, has become a premier destination for photographers and nature enthusiasts, drawing visitors nationwide who are eager to experience this intersection of natural beauty and spiritual heritage before the opportunity vanishes until the following year.

On August 2, 2025, Panida Mongkolswasdi, a Samut Prakan member of parliament and deputy spokesperson for the Pheu Thai Party, posted on Facebook in response to calls from former MP Thanyawaj Kamolwongwattana—a former list-based MP from Future Forward and Move Forward—demanding that Pheu Thai publicly address allegations in a book by former Bangkok MP Tisana Choonhavan. The book contains allegations of sexual harassment and organizational mishandling that have gained significant traction on social media. Pheu Thai announced it is issuing a formal invitation to Choonhavan, a current party member, to provide information for further investigation. Panida stated that Pheu Thai takes all complaints of sexual harassment and violence seriously and has consistent standards for handling such matters fairly, transparently, and based on facts, using party mechanisms to investigate without protecting wrongdoers.

Choonhavan responded on Facebook with four key points: she says she has already discussed everything with party leadership; nothing was done; the accused is no longer in a certain position but has since been elected to parliament and held many important roles; and she questioned how compensation could ever be adequate for the damage to her dignity, adding that the party chose to deliberately undermine her honor while protecting the perpetrator. She concluded by saying "the time has passed" for further dialogue on the matter.
