Chainat continues to show the goodness of its people! A young man who came to withdraw money ended up becoming an essential helper, sacrificing 2 hours of his time to assist residents with identity verification for the Thai Help Thai Plus program at an ATM, after elderly residents encountered numerous difficulties.

On May 27, 2026, reporters covered the registration scene for the Thai Help Thai Plus 60/40 benefit program at Krung Thai Bank's Chainat branch, now on its third day of operations. Large crowds continued to arrive to verify their identities and register for benefits, facing numerous obstacles including failed identity verification, mismatched information such as changed phone numbers, outdated application versions, forgotten passwords, and elderly residents who were completely unable to navigate the process because their children lived far away.

At the Krung Thai Bank Chainat branch, reporters found crowds of people waiting to verify their identities at the ATM. Many didn't understand the procedures, with some inserting their national ID cards into the ATM card slot instead of the correct slot, preventing them from proceeding.

However, one young man, unable to bear watching people struggle, stood by patiently guiding residents through the correct identity verification steps. He was later identified as Ekrat Ramsoot, an officer at the Chainat Provincial Justice Office, who had intended to withdraw money but ended up becoming a good citizen helping residents for nearly 2 hours.

When asked, Ekrat revealed that he had come to use the ATM withdrawal service at Krung Thai Bank's Chainat branch. When he arrived, he saw residents struggling with the identity verification process at the ATM, so he went upstairs to ask bank staff for information and procedures. He then came back down and spent time guiding and assisting residents from morning onward.

Although he had official duties requiring him to travel for work on schedule, residents kept continuously approaching him for help. He decided to stay and assist for nearly 2 hours to facilitate the process for elderly residents and Chainat residents who came to register for the Thai Help Thai Plus program.

On May 27, 2025, at Parliament, Nuttapong Ruangpanya, Pheu Thai list MP and party leader, along with Pirtsadee Wattharasindhoo, submitted two draft constitutional amendments addressing the new charter drafting process. Nuttapong explained that the party has signed draft amendments to Section 15/1 concerning mechanisms for drafting a new constitution, proposing two versions aligned with three core principles: promoting public participation, ensuring the new constitution isn't controlled by any single political group, and not expanding Senate privileges.

The party is prepared to support all drafts meeting these three principles. The two proposals are necessary due to a Constitutional Court ruling that prohibits direct public election of charter drafters. One draft incorporates a process previously proposed by Pheu Thai that received Senate support before parliament's dissolution.

Pirtsadee detailed that both drafts are nearly identical except for the charter drafting committee (SDC) selection process. Both aim for 150 committee members total. The first draft allows public voting to nominate 150 candidates (100 from geographic constituencies, 50 from party lists nationwide), then parliament approves or rejects the entire slate without individual review.

The second draft requires public election of 300 candidates (200 from geographic constituencies by province, 100 from nationwide lists), with parliament selecting 150 through secret ballot voting to prevent political manipulation and preserve committee member independence. The selection uses two tracks: parliament selects 100 from the 200 geographic representatives and applies separate criteria for the 100 list representatives.

At Krung Thai Bank's Dan Khun Thod branch in Nakhon Ratchasima, residents continue to queue for Thai Help Plus program registration. Today's queue is dominated by elderly citizens seeking assistance with various issues including new phone numbers, lost SIM cards, forgotten passwords, difficulty using the Pao Tang app, and facial recognition failures that prevented them from registering over the past two days. Samak, 70, said he left home at 5:00 AM and arrived at the bank at 6:30 AM for his first attempt, accompanied by his daughter who brought breakfast to eat while waiting. Another elderly woman, 76, departed at 5:30 AM and arrived at 6:00 AM, having unsuccessfully queued the previous day when slots filled up before her turn; she secured position 81 in today's queue and expressed great relief. Meanwhile, Lalitsuda, 22, a sales employee at Cheer Mobile directly across from the bank, reported that the Thai Help Plus program has brought multiple customers to purchase smartphones, significantly boosting sales. Most customers buy basic smartphones priced between 2,000-3,000 baht and SIM cards compatible with the Pao Tang app update.

A viral page called 'Want to Be Famous? We'll Make It Happen - Return Part 7' has exposed a prominent 90s female singer by sharing chat conversations. The expose follows a complaint from someone alleging the singer called her boyfriend and made inappropriate video calls. The complainant states: 'At first she called my boyfriend during a video call and showed herself. My boyfriend was already with another woman, and that woman is a 90s singer with a major hit song. But that woman is already married too. Yet she secretly pursued my boyfriend, called him constantly, and sent flirty messages that made me jealous.' Comments on the post included abbreviations of the song title, prompting internet users to search for and view the music video on social media. Many commenters claimed to recognize the song, with responses like 'I know who it is, this song is great and I loved listening to it as a teenager, I had to search for it when I woke up, it means I was born in time for this singer, she's crazy, and I can sing the entire song because I used to love karaoke singing this song in middle school.'
