At the recent motor show, BYD stood out as one of the automakers launching the most new models, presenting four vehicles simultaneously covering all market segments. Among these is the Seele 6, the latest EV sedan worthy of considerable interest.

We reached out to Tuk Buddhachad Saensasam, PR Director at Reve Automotive, BYD's distributor and marketer, for a test drive and were granted immediate access to the top PREMIUM variant. The model is equipped with an electric motor delivering 160 kilowatts of maximum power and 330 Newton-meters of maximum torque, with rear-wheel drive. The BYD Blade battery provides 56.4 kilowatt-hours of capacity and a maximum range of 485 kilometers. The design features a Dragon Face front with Dual LED headlights, flowing side lines that gracefully extend to a coupe-style sloping rear, 18-inch alloy wheels, an electrically operated panoramic sunroof, and a horizontal light bar spanning the entire rear—all hallmarks of a well-designed EV.

The interior features an 8.8-inch LCD driver display, though the text is somewhat small and requires careful reading. A 12.8-inch touchscreen multimedia system includes wireless smartphone charging, though its positioning presents some risk of items sliding off during sharp turns. The front seats offer ventilation to help dissipate heat during hot weather.

One pleasant surprise upon entering the vehicle is a button to activate the car—a nice safety feature preventing accidental activation, unlike many other EVs that require only braking to become operational.

Departing from the main office on Rama I Road during peak traffic, the sedan's quiet cabin and maneuverability make navigating congestion stress-free. Notably, unlike typical EVs, this model exhibits minimal jerking on acceleration and minimal lag when releasing the throttle—almost comparable to a conventional combustion engine. This eliminates motion sickness concerns and inspires confident driving.

With approximately 70% battery remaining, we didn't focus on consumption figures, unaware of the previous driver's driving style. We'd recalculate after a full charge.

The motor's power is instantly responsive in typical EV fashion. Overtaking is effortless, and the side-mirror adjustment buttons on the door panels are a thoughtful addition—allowing real-time angle adjustments without accessing the screen. The climate control, while requiring the touchscreen, includes convenient shortcuts without deep menu diving.

We stopped at a 150-kilowatt fast-charging station. Although the Seele 6 specs list 100-kilowatt charging capability, real-world testing showed approximately 75 kilowatts despite being the sole vehicle charging. This extended charging time from 20% to 90% battery to over 30 minutes.

Heading out of the city and gradually accelerating, there's no dramatic thrust—likely reflecting its family sedan character without emphasis on raw speed and power. At moderate speeds of 100-120 km/h, the suspension delivers a soft, refined ride over potholes and uneven surfaces. Acceleration remains solid and composed. However, at higher speeds, some wavering and floating sensations emerge...

At 12:45 p.m. on May 19, 2025, at Government House, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihsakdi Pongketkao provided an update on the cancellation of the 2001 MOU, stating that Cambodia has been notified and future discussions will proceed under the UNCLOS convention framework regarding how the two countries will meet. When asked when the Joint Border Commission (JBC) membership will be submitted to the Cabinet meeting, Sihsakdi said it should happen soon since the JBC chairman has already been selected. Regarding why General Somsak Rungsita was chosen as JBC chairman, Sihsakdi explained that this selection will help coordinate work between the JBC, which deals with border demarcation issues, and the work within the GBC and RBC frameworks to ensure better coordination and collaboration. When asked if this was Sihsakdi's own preference, he responded that he was considering the nature of the upcoming work, noting that it would not be merely a technical matter.

A major investigation! Tookie encountered a famous actress who used her foot to demand someone put her shoes on, and when she refused, she was called by her supervisor for a talk. She was very demanding. These days, her daughter has grown very fond of Tookie. Nicki was shocked by this actress – everyone must love her.

Before becoming famous as Tookie, what has she experienced? Tookie (Suda Ratan) appeared on the program Superstar Exploring, chatting with Nicki Natchart, the host and close sibling. At one point, Nicki asked if Tookie had ever encountered an unlikable celebrity before she became famous Tookie.

Tookie encountered the behavior of a famous actress who used her foot to demand shoe-putting service.

Tookie explained: "Actually, I'm the one who took it seriously, thinking she didn't like me. It might just be her usual behavior. People receive different treatment."

Tookie: "I used to be in costume work, to the point where some artists would have me put on their shoes and socks for them." Nicki: "And she was a major actress back then?" Tookie: "You already know but you're not saying it. You let me tell it, and then you come guessing like that for what?" Nicki: "Was she an actress, singer, or what?" Tookie: "She was an actress. The most famous of that era." Nicki: "What did she do?" Tookie: "She had me put on her shoes. Used her foot to demand I put them on." Nicki: "She had you put on her shoes?" Tookie: "Yes." Tookie: "I was shocked and confused. Turns out when I didn't, I was called up to my supervisor to discuss it. It was considered part of the service. At first, I didn't understand." Nicki: "What kind of service is putting on shoes?" Tookie: "Some people's outfits are so tight they can't bend to put on shoes. We have to do it for them. We might not be used to this behavior – having to care for celebrities and actors who can't bend."

Nicki: "Could she bend in her outfit?" Tookie: "She could." Nicki: "It looked like she could bend." Tookie: "Yeah." Nicki: "And she still called you to put it on?" Tookie: "Yeah." Nicki asked again: "Were you confused then? Because everyone loves this actress. Were you shocked?" Tookie immediately replied: "Confused? Well, as soon as I heard that, I just walked away. My supervisor called me back – it's part of our service to care for celebrities. These days, her daughter really loves me. I'm so confused." Nicki: "Did you ever encounter her again after you became Tookie?" Tookie: "Yes." Nicki: "Did she remember? Did she remember that she had you put on her shoes?" Tookie: "No. She sat down and interviewed me."

Now netizens want to know who this famous actress is. They'll have to investigate themselves, because the team for the abbreviation Nicki the host hasn't revealed it yet.

Actress Bo Benjamorn Ardnerner is absolutely glowing with happiness alongside handsome newscaster Bank Patthorn Pannyayong. Recently on May 18th, Bo attended the launch of VFC & BB Clinic, a comprehensive reproductive medicine and beauty health center on Sukhumvit Soi 11, and gave interviews with a radiant smile, clearly head over heels in love.

When asked about egg freezing, Bo revealed: "I already froze my eggs three years ago. At that time, many things were changing in my life. It was a major transition period, and I wasn't sure what the future held or who my future partner would be, so I decided to preserve that option. When I turned 36, I felt like I was still within the acceptable range, but if I waited longer it might be too late or the quality might not be as good. My friends who started freezing in their early 30s told me the earlier the better, so I felt it was the right time."

When asked if she was certain about having children then, she said: "I wasn't certain. Honestly, I wasn't sure about having kids. I didn't know what my future partner would be like at that time. I initially felt discouraged because I didn't have a partner and would have to do it alone. Halfway through, I almost gave up, but in the end, I got a good number of eggs, so I'm proud of that decision."

Asked if she was single when she did it, Bo explained: "Yes, I was single. It wasn't something I planned initially—the lifestyle didn't seem to fit. But after that process ended, I thought about the future. When Bank and I started talking, I felt he could be a family man and a good father, so I decided to open that possibility. Even now, I'm not sure how I'll be as a mother or when this might happen."

When asked if she'd ever imagined herself as a mother, Bo said: "Honestly, never. Even now I haven't. Right now I'm a dog mom. I think I'd be a mix of both my parents—my mother was strict but my father was a spoiler. I'd like to combine those qualities—tough sometimes, chill sometimes, spoil sometimes, and strict sometimes. I think balance would give the best result."

On whether Bank is on board, Bo shared: "Before we decided to be together, we discussed everything—our future, whether our goals aligned. He already has children, so I asked if he'd be okay if I wanted kids in the future. He was open to it. If I want kids but he doesn't, that's okay, we'd understand each other. But when I asked, he said he's very open to it. We're both quite open about it."

When asked if they're not closing the door on anything, Bo said: "Right now we're at the point of being boyfriend and girlfriend, and we want to fully experience this stage together—traveling, doing activities, learning together. Moving to the next step might be too fast right now. Taking it slower might be better."

Asked if she radiates happiness when talking about this, Bo smiled: "It's very sweet. I'm just happy. I like this version of myself because I can be completely myself, whether I'm with him or not."

Following his resignation as Bangkok governor on May 18, Chadchart Sittiphan announced his candidacy for a second term on May 19, launching his campaign with messages displayed on 37 LED billboards along the Chaloem Mahanakorn elevated highway. The campaign centers on his 'Bangkok Works' concept, emphasizing that a city's purpose is to create opportunities for all residents through improved economics, education, and health. His legal team has blocked unauthorized use of his image, name, and logo on joint billboards with other candidates.

Chadchart's campaign tagline is 'City Creates Opportunity, Team Chadchart Creates Hope,' with messages appearing on billboards stating 'City Creates Opportunity,' 'Team Chadchart,' 'Creates Hope,' and reminders that the gubernatorial election is June 28. Chadchart emphasized that successful work requires enjoyment and passion, and that his team is motivated by hope rather than personal gain. He stressed that Bangkok must compete globally in the coming four years, not just improve domestically, as cities worldwide are rapidly changing due to technology. The campaign aims to reinforce the election date and inspire public participation in choosing Bangkok's next governor.
