On May 22, 2025 at Makkasan Police Station, Raksit Waitee, Director of the Legal Division of the Department of Rail Transport, filed charges with investigating officers after receiving authorization from the department's director to prosecute vehicle drivers who parked on railroad tracks starting May 16 at 3:33 PM until the time of the train-bus collision. Charges were filed under the Rail Transport Act 2568 and other criminal statutes.

Raksit stated that the department has filed charges with police to proceed under the Rail Transport Act after discovering damage to the transportation system affecting the general public. The specific number of violations or charges cannot be clearly determined at this stage as each case must be considered individually, similar to traffic laws. Investigation officers will be responsible for gathering evidence and examining facts in detail.

When asked whether the charges relate to obstructions preventing the train from operating, Raksit said this is an important factor, as the law establishes liability for causing damage to the rail transportation system or obstructing train operations. For cases where vehicles may have unintentionally parked on tracks without intent to violate the law, Raksit noted that circumstances must be examined case-by-case, including how the situation occurred and whether drivers could have avoided or moved their vehicles.

Raksit emphasized that the Rail Transport Act is new legislation that took effect March 27, making this one of the first cases prosecuted under it. Regarding bus operators, charges will depend on criminal law elements including the act, damage caused, and the perpetrator. If no damage occurred, charges might be limited to attempted violation.

On the issue of employee substance use, Raksit revealed that following the incident, orders were issued to test all involved employees, emphasizing that drug use is unacceptable in any form of transportation, though criminal charges depend on legal elements.

When asked about the primary cause of the accident, Raksit stressed that parked vehicles are only one factor, and negligence from multiple parties—including bus drivers, train staff, and relevant officials—must be investigated thoroughly. The department has no authority to determine guilt but has a duty to oversee and prevent recurrence.

Regarding operator licensing under the new rail transport framework, Raksit noted the law recently took effect and licensing is ongoing, with approximately 300-400 of 900 applicants processed. During the transition period, existing workers may continue operating normally to avoid disrupting nationwide rail service.

On May 22, 2026, at Thonglor Police Station, lawyer Nathawut Wongniam representing Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchat Choomklin filed additional charges against Ratchanok Srinork ("Ice"), a Pheu Thai party list MP. A previous complaint was filed on May 17 regarding social media posts that allegedly defamed the minister. Although Ice did not mention Suchat by name, the lawyer argues her posts contained derogatory remarks such as "evil person" and "low conduct" that distorted facts and damaged his reputation.

The lawyer stated that Suchat passed constitutional vetting upon assuming ministerial office and has no serious ethical violations, making legal action necessary to protect his reputation. Separately, authorities are investigating an AI-generated video account called "Khun Murf Chatter" that manipulated Suchat's image in clips viewed over 3 million times.

Additionally, legal teams are reviewing posts by Ratchanok allegedly referencing the monarchy through the "Sod Sroai Mala" poem, as well as her sharing of information about government officials and politicians, to determine if they violate laws. Other Pheu Thai MPs may also face legal action if wrongdoing is found. The lawyer stressed this is lawful action, not a silencing lawsuit, and warned the public to exercise caution when sharing information, as spreading false data could violate the Computer Crimes Act.

The cases against Ratchanok include four primary charges: posts about "evil person governing the city-taking bribes," posts about "low and disgraceful conduct," allegations of election fraud comments, and posts during a debate about the Social Security Office's SKYY9 building purchase. Most charges involve defamation by advertising and Computer Crimes Act violations, except the SKYY9 case which carries specific defamation charges. All cases remain under investigation with no final court judgment yet.

Teachers and students were left shaken when a 16-year-old wielding a knife entered the school during midday break, showing signs of a cannabis-induced mental health episode. Police found the teenager had a history of psychiatric treatment at Ta Takiap Hospital dating back to 2567 following cannabis use.

On May 22, 2569, police commander Chanyawit Khwakkan ordered deputy commander Manas Chantavad and other units to conduct a security inspection of Ban Nong Prayot School in Ta Takiap District, Chachoengsao Province to reassure the community.

The incident occurred at 1:07 p.m. when Ta Takiap Police received a report from the emergency radio center that a man was seen carrying a knife near the school. When officers arrived, the suspect had already left on a motorcycle. Residents told police that the youth usually came to pick up his younger brother who studies at the school. Upon tracking him home, officers found the 16-year-old identified as "A" (pseudonym), who had been receiving psychiatric treatment at Ta Takiap Hospital since 2567 for cannabis-induced mental illness. He has a five-year history of cannabis use and also uses methamphetamine.

Deputy Commander Manas Chantavad met with school principal Siam Saowkul and traumatized teachers. The principal explained that the teenager, a former student, became delusional during lunch break and arrived wielding a knife to threaten staff and students. Fortunately, the school had secured its gates with guards on duty and had previously conducted emergency response drills, which helped control the situation. Police responded within ten minutes of the alert.

Nearby residents and a vendor who witnessed and recorded the incident remain frightened, worried the youth may reoffend. They recalled hiding behind trash bins in panic and noted the suspect had displayed similar dangerous behavior since the Songkran period.

Police explained they followed proper procedures for detaining the mentally ill individual. The teenager was transferred to Ta Takiap Hospital for rehabilitation treatment, and police will conduct regular patrols in the area going forward.

Recently, Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited (BEM) awarded certificates to scholarship students who completed Art Training courses under the Art Learning Centre @ MRT Phahon Yothin Station in this year's final program. The initiative was designed to develop artistic skills among interested youth and inspire the next generation through intensive instruction over four months led by Master watercolor artist Bounkwang Nontcharoen and special instructor Pitsanu Varangrak from the Faculty of Architecture at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. Throughout the curriculum, both instructors systematically developed students' skills from basic line drawing and creative illustration through creative thinking processes, culminating in the creation of distinctive works and portfolios for university applications.

Phurichaya Bunlue, a Grade 6 student from Phra Hruay Nonthaburi School and program participant, shared: "The knowledge and works I gained from this course helped me develop a portfolio for university applications, and I've been accepted to Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Fine Arts. This program provided comprehensive artistic knowledge and experience. The instructors taught drawing techniques in multiple forms, covering thinking processes, analysis, and systematic work development that can be applied both in academics and real life, as well as in future careers."

Phutsanisaa Kaewdilert, another Grade 6 student from Amatayakul School, noted: "I've been selected for King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang's Faculty of Fine Arts, Media Arts program. The program was quite different from what I expected. I thought it would be general intensive art training focused mainly on copying or drawing from objects, but the benefits far exceeded my expectations. Both the instructors and classmates offered diverse artistic perspectives, opening new experiences through idea exchange. The teaching techniques were easy to understand, especially observation techniques—a crucial skill in drawing. I practiced observing proportions, object details, light and shadow, which has given me clearer vision and further developed my skills."

Nesmata Lalitingkhorojn, a Grade 5 student from Srinakharinwirot University Demonstration School Prasarnmit, described her experience: "My favorite topic was proportions. After learning framing techniques, left-right comparisons, and composition arrangement, I understood these concepts and could apply them much better to actual works. This course serves as excellent preparation for university entrance selection, continuously developing practical skills to create the best work in my own style."

The Art Training program under the Art Learning Centre @ MRT Phahon Yothin Station successfully concluded the year's final course, marking another important step for youth pursuing a solid path in the arts.

On May 11-12, 2025, the TO BE NUMBER ONE network held its annual seminar at the Diamond Hall on the 5th floor of Asia Airport Hotel in Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province, with Dr. Srutkpun Chakkrapun Na Ayutthaya, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Mental Health, presiding over the opening ceremony.
