The Thai Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (THAICID) officially opened the "THAICID Network Week for Integrated Knowledge Exchange 2026" (THAICID-NWIKS 2026) under the theme "Smarter Water for a Stronger Future." The event serves as a central platform for exchanging knowledge, research, technology, and innovation in irrigation, drainage, and water management, while building collaborative networks to address climate change challenges and advance Thailand's water management toward sustainability.

Held on July 8, 2026, at Kasetsart University's 80-year building in Kamphaeng Saen, Nakhon Pathom province, Dr. Vachira Suadi, advisor to the Royal Irrigation Department's director-general and THAICID committee consultant, officially opened the event through the symbolic "Key of Knowledge," representing the opening of doors to integrated knowledge exchange, innovation, and water collaboration. This reflects THAICID-NWIKS 2026's role in connecting people, knowledge, technology, and collaborative networks to collectively advance Thailand's water management future. The event was chaired by Yongyos Niyamtrap, a civil engineering expert in planning and projects at the Royal Irrigation Department, alongside Dr. Nophadol Kovsuwan, deputy director of Irrigation Office 11, who serves as vice-chair of THAICID's academic committee. The event drew widespread participation from academics, researchers, government and private sector representatives, educational institutions, farmers, water user groups, and international network partners.

THAICID-NWIKS 2026 runs from July 8–10, 2026, with three days of activities spanning policy level, global technology, academic research, and practical applications in agriculture and communities. July 8 features the 19th National Symposium on Irrigation and Drainage, with special sessions from senior ICID officials and Thailand's water policy leaders presenting future water management visions covering smart irrigation, IoT, remote sensing, digital water technology, flood and drought-resilient cities, participatory water governance, and AI applications for water and agricultural management, supplemented by invited and peer-reviewed papers from diverse experts.

In a recent interview on the program "Tiang Wan Tan Heit Karngan," Garrchai addressed the case, explaining that while the court has offered mediation as part of its process, he is not yet ready to accept settlement. "The court's mediation process is one thing, but I have explained to the court through my lawyer that I may not be ready for mediation at this stage. I want to wait and see how the defendant behaves during the trial first," he said.

Garrchai confirmed he has seen Pu's three settlement proposals but will not consider them until the appropriate time. "I have seen her three proposals, but I will not consider all three of them until the right moment comes. For now, I won't," he stated.

He emphasized that he wants to exercise his legal rights to present the facts before pursuing settlement. "The court is kind to offer mediation, but I have been wronged all along. I feel I should use my rights first to prove the facts—to show that what has happened to me is not very fair. We can discuss mediation another time," Garrchai concluded.

A 39-year-old man reported to Muang Udon Thani police station at 10:30 a.m. on July 8, 2569 with severe facial injuries and blood streaming from his nose after being attacked by an illegal loan shark gang. Officers observed his injuries were serious with significant bleeding and immediately contacted rescue workers from the Udon Thani Dharma Promotion Foundation to provide emergency first aid before transporting him urgently to the hospital.

The victim, identified as Mr. A, explained that he had borrowed 4,000 baht from an unlicensed lender with an agreement to repay 100 baht daily. He had been making regular payments and owed only a small amount remaining, but recent financial hardship caused him to miss some payments. He believes this prompted the gang's violent reaction.

"I was walking at a morning market in Nong Hai subdistrict when suddenly the loan group's vehicle pulled up. As soon as they saw me, they stopped and attacked me immediately without giving me a chance to react," he said, adding that he recognized one of the attackers as Pakhin.

After assessing the situation and questioning, police from Muang Udon Thani determined that Nong Hai subdistrict falls under Huai Luang police station's jurisdiction. They advised the victim to complete medical treatment first, then travel to file a detailed complaint with Huai Luang police so legal action can be taken against the brutal loan shark gang.

Ball, the husband's side, has spoken out about the incident. He confirmed being married to Bam and said the day of the incident was payday when he went out drinking with coworkers. After becoming drunk, he asked the woman in the video to drive him home. When they arrived, the situation escalated as shown in the clip. When asked if Bam would sue, Ball said she would, and he admitted to losing his love for her. He criticized her for insulting him and disrespecting his friends, claiming he no longer loves her. Regarding the other woman, Ball stated she was just someone he talked to from the factory and had no husband. Ball revealed he also contemplated divorce. When asked why he was smiling in the clip, he said he was still drunk, as was the other woman. Ball stated he would not return to Bam, and admitted that during a previous attempt to reconcile, he had hit and slapped her once.
