The Thai U-23 national football team under coach Thawatchai Damnuengotngram reported on May 26 to prepare for three warm-up matches against Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, and the UAE during FIFA's international window in June. One roster change occurred when Shin Ngun Phu Tain Yong from Sirinkhao Chiangrai United withdrew due to injury, replaced by Bukkhon Lemdit from Chonburi FC. Twenty-two players reported, with four missing due to Thai FA Cup final commitments, including Thanakrit Chotimeungpak from Buriram United, Colonel Manee Korn, Usamma Thiangkham, and Jehannafi Tama from PT Prachuap FC.

Physical assessments included heart rate checks, blood pressure, weight, height, body composition analysis via INBODY, flexibility and muscle tests, along with strength, speed, endurance, and agility evaluations.

Coach Thawatchai stated: "First, thanks to the association for giving us adequate preparation time before these three warm-up matches next month. Calling in 26 players gives us more options and lets us observe players across all three matches. I'm focusing on all three opponents since they're all competing in the Asian Games. All three teams—Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, and UAE—have quality. This is a good opportunity for warm-up games before the tournament, and having 26 players allows rotation and observation of both new and established players to see how team strength develops."

"Squad cuts are necessary. Some players from early camps moved to the senior team, while others withdrew due to injury. The injured players still have time before the tournament. We'll monitor them during their club preseason and watch their form in warm-up matches. Many senior team players were already with us from the start, which is beneficial—they gain experience with the senior squad and bring that back as core members of U-23. We've had extensive preparation this camp, including physicals with the Thai Sports Authority. After players finish their club seasons, we can assess their physical condition and fitness to plan appropriate training programs."

"I'd like to thank all Thai football fans for their support as we head into the Asian Games. Please give this team your full backing."

Siraphob Wandee, striker from Chonburi FC, said: "There are many new players, so we're trying to adapt quickly. Previously training in Portugal, I'm bringing that pace, strength, and experience to this camp."

Thonglor Animal Hospital has achieved a significant milestone in Thai veterinary medicine by assembling a team of over 10 specialized veterinarians to successfully perform heart surgery on a 2-month-old Golden Retriever puppy named Tan Hor, who was born with a congenital heart defect. The hospital demonstrated its expertise in handling critical cases through advanced medical technology and the power of collaborative teamwork.

Tan Hor faced a life-threatening crisis at an age when most puppies are learning about the world. Treating such a small and fragile patient required both speed and decisive action. The success of this life-saving operation reflected true teamwork, with specialists from various fields including cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and nursing staff working seamlessly together in the operating room to achieve one goal: restoring a healthy heart to the young puppy.

Dr. Kritiga Chaisupatnakulm, Chairman of Thonglor Animal Hospital, explained that Tan Hor suffered from Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), a condition where the blood vessel connecting the aorta and pulmonary artery fails to close naturally after birth, leading to abnormal blood circulation and potential heart failure. Medical statistics show a 60% mortality rate within the first year if untreated. The surgical team decided to use a titanium clip technique to close the problematic blood vessel, requiring millimeter-level precision. This success demonstrates Thonglor Animal Hospital's international-standard treatment capabilities and commitment to comprehensive veterinary care.

Today, Tan Hor has recovered rapidly with stable vital signs and has returned to the warm embrace of his family. This success is not merely a miracle but clear proof of Thonglor Animal Hospital's DNA—never backing down from difficult cases and dedicating all resources, experience, and cutting-edge technology to improve the quality of life for beloved pets.

At 8:30 a.m. on May 26, 2569, police responded to a vehicle collision on Klong 17 Road, Ban Nam Phriao District, Samut Prakan Province. At the scene, three injured persons were found: Somchai, 60, the motorcycle sidecar driver; his 7-year-old granddaughter A, who sustained abrasions; and Nathi, 26, a Honda Wave motorcycle operator with minor injuries. All were transported to Ban Nam Phriao Hospital.

The other vehicle involved was a black Honda City sedan registered in Phetchaburi, driven by 43-year-old Sotipatthana. The sedan's front end was severely damaged with a cracked left windshield and debris scattered across the road.

According to investigation, Sotipatthana stated that the motorcycle ahead suddenly braked, and when the motorcycle also braked, he attempted to stop but could not in time, resulting in the collision and subsequent slide into the sidecar.

When questioned, Somchai explained he had suddenly braked and stopped to allow a turtle crossing the road to pass safely, unaware of the vehicle following behind, which led to the accident.

Police are conducting further investigation with Sotipatthana at the Chimplee Police Station and will take additional statements from all injured parties before determining appropriate legal charges.
