Taurus Today you will encounter diverse events, but those born under this sign are generally compassionate and understanding, helping others without discrimination. You won't be overly excited by changes in people and environment. Your regular expenses will fluctuate irregularly, mostly due to work-related investments.

Gemini Today you are interested in seeking knowledge from various subjects. Your misfortune is being asked to share your opinions with those who don't understand your communication, or your conversation partners are always closed-minded. Friends may oppose you or disagree due to misunderstanding or being deceived.

Cancer Today your work goes smoothly, but you find that the good deeds you've done are frozen. However, you will receive small compensation in return, such as some cash or meeting a new friend you like. Nothing will disturb your professional work. Foreign contacts will yield fairly good results.

Leo Today you should not reveal old stories about anyone for entertainment purposes, as they will feel hurt. Do not play with friends in abandoned buildings or places that were once prisons, cemeteries, or old sites. Receive moral support and lucky objects.

Virgo Today those who have quarreled with relatives will reconcile. Environmental changes will not affect you, but be very cautious about your health and avoid heavy work. You will receive important positions in associations or in your work field.

Libra Today you will find that people or things in your home mysteriously disappear or are damaged without cause. You will receive valuable treasures and assets from your spouse indirectly. Do not take responsibility for family wedding arrangements, as you may violate traditions. Be very careful with your words and actions.

Scorpio Today your body is weak and income is hindered, but your administrative work progresses well. Changes in your office may not benefit you much. Commerce shows promising signs – you will find suitable business locations or sources. Help will come soon.

Sagittarius Today you may experience eye problems, blurred vision, or headaches from vision defects. Speaking harshly to foreign business partners will cause you losses. You will be praised for the diligence and courage of your subordinates and companions. Searching for lost items will yield good results. You have strong management capabilities.

Capricorn Today you are blamed by friends who asked for your help but didn't get the expected results. This means nothing to you. If you have problems, solve them yourself because close people may make things more complicated or become obstacles to receiving help.

Actor and director Aek Rangsiroj Phanphet discusses his dual role directing and starring in 'Dangerous Love Song,' a Gold C.P.G. Entertainment production. The drama centers on a past incident where someone discovers the secrets of a drug trafficking gang operating under the cover of a music label. When this person is hunted down and killed, their twin sibling seeks revenge by infiltrating the label to gather evidence. The story involves actresses Ben Santirat and Jeada Sranya, who help unravel the complex plot.

Aek explains the drama features 10 songs total—one original theme song and nine well-known tracks. His background as a musician aids his direction, helping him bring authenticity to the music and recording studio scenes. He praises both leading actresses, noting that Ben exceeded expectations in playing Chaiya, excelling in action sequences, emotional depth, and romantic scenes. Jeada, playing Puna, impressed him with her unexpected singing abilities alongside her acting, creating magical moments on screen. The production also features comedy relief from supporting actors like Thongthong, Joei, and Roong, along with action-packed sequences including explosions and car stunts.

Sansiri Public Company Limited has created a new phenomenon in the condominium market following the XT 10 Ekkamai project, which received overwhelming response from consumers. Customers queued for up to seven days to book in advance, pushing pre-sales in the first two days past 2 billion baht, representing 35% of the project's total value.

On May 18, 2026, Sansiri Public Company Limited revealed that the XT 10 Ekkamai project—a new lifestyle condominium under the XT brand—has generated substantial consumer interest. During the first two days of pre-sales, the project achieved sales exceeding 2 billion baht, accounting for 35% of the total project value. This success marks another record-breaking achievement for Sansiri in the condominium market, with large numbers of customers queuing for days to reserve units. This reflects continued strong demand in the Ekkamai area, which remains popular with both owner-occupants and investors, particularly among foreign nationals seeking central Bangkok condominiums.

XT 10 Ekkamai is a pet-friendly condominium located in the Ekkamai neighborhood, just 150 meters from Donki Mall and within five minutes of Thonglor and Sukhumvit. The project features shared facilities accessible to residents of other XT developments, including rooftop common areas and 24-hour services. Units start at one bedroom with a minimum size of 30 square meters, priced from 4.39 million baht, targeting young professionals, investors, and those seeking properties in high-potential locations.

Meanwhile, Sansiri also reported progress on the LOVE Charoen Nakhon project, a new condominium near IconSiam, which has similarly received positive reception with nearly 40% of units already sold. This indicates that the condominium market in prime locations continues to experience sustained demand, even as the broader real estate sector faces challenges from slowed purchasing power and economic headwinds.

Thailand's struggle for democracy in May has many tragic chapters, including the May 1992 uprising known as 'Pheung Thamin' (Black May) and May 2010 called '99 Corpses'—both recorded as dark moments in history marked by massive loss of life and blood spilled on the streets. The authorities and governments responsible for these two events will be remembered by the people forever, unforgettably.

The 1992 incident stemmed from a military coup that toppled Prime Minister Chatichai Choonhavan's government in February 1991. The coup leader then became Prime Minister himself, breaking his promise not to do so. This sparked massive protests against the transfer of power, leading to a brutal crackdown on May 17, 1992, that killed over 40 people. General Suchinda Kraprayoon resigned and granted himself amnesty.

Following May 1992's bloodshed, authorities made reforms, including investigating the violence, dismissing some military officers, amending the constitution to require the PM be elected from parliament, and establishing riot police with shields, batons, and tear gas instead of deploying armed soldiers.

Eighteen years later, on May 10-19, 2010, the military again dispersed red-shirt protesters, this time claiming they included terrorists and using live ammunition. The crackdown killed 99 people—worse than even the 1976 Thammasat massacre.

The red-shirts were protesting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's government, which they viewed as illegitimate, having come to power through a military coup and negotiated deal rather than winning elections. They demanded parliament dissolve and new elections be held.

Whether May 1992 or May 2010, both saw bloody massacres. The people will never forget the authorities responsible for these tragedies and will demand accountability forever.

According to the army, the exercises are aimed at improving joint operational capability, testing battlefield systems and updating contingency plans to address future threats.

The military said the drills also assessed troop readiness, weapons systems and operational capabilities in missions involving border security, suppression of illegal activities and protection of civilians living along the frontier.
