At 3 p.m. on May 26, 2025, the Bhumjaithai Party parliamentary group convened to discuss and vote on the DSI's request to summon MP Chonnapat Naksan of the Kla Tham Party for questioning regarding an online gambling investigation. The House of Representatives has scheduled an urgent agenda item for May 28 to consider whether to authorize his interim detention. Party Secretary Chaiyachon Chidchop, who chaired the meeting, stated the party would first hold discussions, noting that some view this as a parliamentary privilege. However, he emphasized universal disapproval of the alleged conduct and pointed out that the MP himself posted that he is ready to face justice—which could change the situation entirely. Chidchop confirmed a resolution would be reached today, as the matter is straightforward. Should the MP voluntarily enter the justice process, the Bhumjaithai Party would vote accordingly without invoking parliamentary privilege. When asked about Pheu Thai's stance, Chidchop said no clear conclusion had been reached yet. He dismissed concerns that voting to send the MP constituted political manipulation, noting similar procedures have been standard practice across parties historically. Regarding accusations that not sending him would constitute protecting the Kla Tham Party, Chidchop argued such claims were baseless, as the justice system will ultimately determine guilt or innocence, with only about six weeks remaining before the process concludes regardless.

Many people wear earbuds before bed to listen to music, mask noise, and fall asleep more easily—and research shows this can improve sleep quality. However, ear specialists caution that despite generally being safe, there are overlooked risks. Stanford Medicine doctors explain that in-ear earbuds that seal the ear canal tightly can trap moisture, allowing bacteria to accumulate and increasing the risk of ear infections, especially for those who shower before bed, have sensitive ear canal skin, or existing ear problems. Warning signs include ear pain, unusual itching, fluid discharge, or abnormal odors. Prolonged earbud use can also lead to earwax buildup, causing hearing difficulty, ear fullness, pressure, or ringing—conditions requiring medical cleaning or standard earwax removal kits. Volume level is another critical concern: the World Health Organization (WHO) notes that continuous exposure to sounds above 80 decibels for several hours weekly can damage hearing permanently, while 60-70 decibels (normal conversation) is considered safe. Doctors also warn that noise-canceling earbuds or loud audio while sleeping may prevent you from hearing fire alarms, wake-up calls, or emergency alerts. For those needing earbuds before sleep, experts recommend soft earbuds that don't seal the ear canal too tightly, over-ear headphones, or flat speakers under a pillow to reduce moisture and ear canal irritation.

On May 26, 2569, Chiang Mai police executed an arrest warrant against 43-year-old Kamolthep, known as "Ajarn Sua Ban Fon," a well-known spiritual master specializing in tattoos, candle-making, and karma-cleansing rituals. He was arrested at his residence in Nong Kwai Subdistrict, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai, on charges of sexual assault using force and coercion.

During the search, officers discovered six registered handguns, one homemade rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and five methamphetamine pills. Kamolthep denied the sexual assault allegations, claiming he didn't know how he ended up in the ritual room and had done nothing to his stepdaughter. Police records show he was previously imprisoned for 1 year and 8 months in 2551 for methamphetamine possession.

According to 41-year-old Thitaree, the victim's mother and Kamolthep's wife, she had been his disciple for years, attending fortune readings, water blessings, and karma-cleansing ceremonies. They had been together for 8 years and were registered as married. On April 16, the stepdaughter finally disclosed that since January 2567, when she was 18 years old, Kamolthep had repeatedly sexually assaulted her under the pretense of completing spiritual rituals. He allegedly threatened her with a loaded gun, told her sexual intercourse was necessary for the ritual to work, and said he knew high-ranking police officers. The assaults occurred approximately five times. The victim had remained silent out of fear, living in the same house and threatened by the suspect's weapons. She eventually gathered courage and told her mother, prompting them to file a police report and commit to pursuing the case to its conclusion.

The Home Builder Association has highlighted the critical shortage of foreign workers hampering Thailand's business competitiveness and is urging the government to implement five urgent measures to resolve the crisis before the second-half economy weakens further. Association President Anon Amornvattee revealed that Thailand faces severe labor shortages across all sectors, particularly in construction, and is seeking solutions to prevent business disruptions. The association has submitted five proposals through the 3-Institution Private Sector Joint Committee to government agencies including the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Thai Industry Association, and Thai Bankers Association to mitigate the impact on home builder businesses. Amornvattee outlined the five urgent measures proposed to the government to address labor shortages in the construction industry: First, expedited registration of illegal foreign workers already in the country by offering special exemptions that allow them to obtain work permits without deportation, enabling the fastest integration into the formal system. Second, streamline import procedures and reduce hidden costs associated with the complex MOU documentation process involving multiple agencies. Converting the verification process into a one-stop service will improve transparency and reduce employer costs while encouraging migrant workers to enter the system legally. Third, upgrade work permit renewals to a real-time E-Work Permit system using digital technology. Current approval or renewal processes take weeks or months, but modernizing the system to instantly update information on screen would prevent construction business disruptions. Fourth, open MOU agreements with alternative countries to diversify the foreign worker supply chain. Thailand's construction industry has been overly dependent on certain countries, creating risks if diplomatic conflicts arise. Expanding agreements with new countries would distribute workforce risks more effectively. Fifth, develop a systematic upskilling program in cooperation with the government and association. Since construction requires many skilled craftsmen, both the public and private sectors should collaborate to standardize skill development, ensuring fairness for both employers who receive quality workmanship and workers who earn higher wages based on actual skills. Amornvattee emphasized: "These five measures are not merely assistance for employers, but a means to preserve Thailand's infrastructure and supply chains for both short and long-term economic survival. The home builder business has been a key economic engine for Thailand, with member companies generating approximately 9.8 to 12 billion baht from the nationwide 'owner-built homes' market."
