Three siblings have run away from home after becoming upset with their father for banning them from playing Free Fire. On May 22, foreign media reported that three children from Surat, Gujarat, India fled with approximately 15,000 rupees (around 5,000 baht) after being prohibited from playing the game. Police suspect the three may have boarded a train bound for Mumbai.

The three children consist of a 14-year-old boy, an 11-year-old brother, and a 9-year-old sister. They all left home early in the morning on May 19 while their family was sleeping.

The family revealed to police that the children were heavily addicted to Free Fire and frequently used their father's mobile phone to play for extended periods. Previously, the children's father had returned to his hometown and accidentally left his phone at home, allowing the three to spend most of their time gaming on the device. When the father returned, the mother began expressing concern that the children were spending too much time on mobile games. The father then decided to remove the SIM card from the phone and lock it away in a cabinet to try to limit their gaming behavior.

However, being banned from gaming made all three children upset, and they decided to run away from home with some cash. When the family discovered the children were missing, they immediately reported it to police.

Police revealed they have established five investigation teams to track down the children, working in coordination with multiple agencies. Initial reviews of CCTV footage show that all three children appear to be safe.

The Surasak Monteri Task Force, under the command of the Second Army Region, successfully intercepted a major drug smuggling operation on May 22, 2025. Operating under the Northeast Border Drug, Precursor Chemical and Chemical Control Center (Center 24), the task force coordinated with local security agencies to set up a checkpoint along Highway 211 in Ban Songao Village, Huay Pichay Subdistrict, Pak Chom District, Loei Province, following intelligence reports of illicit drug transportation into the area.

Officers spotted a suspicious pickup truck arriving at the checkpoint location, where three suspicious men were loading black sacks onto the vehicle bed. When authorities moved in to conduct a search, the suspects fled under cover of darkness by stealing two fishing boats with outboard motors belonging to local residents and crossed the Mekong River back to Laos. A pickup truck also escaped along Highway 211 toward Sangkhom District in Nong Khai Province.

Following the operation, authorities seized approximately 1,080,000 methamphetamine pills contained in three sacks, along with one seized fishing boat with motor. The evidence has been secured at the unit headquarters for detailed inventory before being transferred to Pak Chom Police Station for legal proceedings. Authorities are actively pursuing leads to identify and prosecute other network members involved in the smuggling operation.

While Deputy Superintendent Thanan Phiromjitcharoen and other traffic officers were conducting an alcohol checkpoint on Bangna-Trat Road in northern Bangna district, Bangkok, a white Mitsubishi Expander approached the checkpoint. Officer Thanan signaled the vehicle to stop, but the driver refused and struck him, causing him to fall and suffer severe injuries. The vehicle also collided with a motorcycle taxi and a regular taxi before officers blocked it with a pickup truck. The two occupants, identified as Thanabat, 20, and Akkrawin, 20, both from Chiang Rai, subsequently surrendered.

A search of the vehicle revealed a 9mm handgun and 24 rounds of ammunition hidden in the spare tire compartment. Both suspects tested negative for alcohol and drugs. Thanabat claimed he didn't see the officers, while both men stated they didn't know who owned the gun. Investigation revealed that Thanabat is a student at a prominent Bangkok university, while Akkrawin attends a northern Thailand university. Background checks showed Akkrawin has five prior cases involving assault and carrying firearms, and he is reportedly connected to the notorious Oreo gang that made headlines in early 2568.

According to doctors treating Officer Thanan, he remains in a coma with brain swelling, internal bleeding, a broken neck, and lacerations across his body. Both suspects were charged with unlawfully possessing and transporting firearms and ammunition in a populated area without justification, with additional charges of reckless endangerment resulting in serious bodily injury for Thanabat.

House Speaker Sophon Saram addressed the opposition Democratic Party's urgent motion to establish a special committee to oversee the 400-billion-baht loan decree, stating that the matter is currently pending a Constitutional Court ruling on a petition filed by opposition parties. The court has a 60-day window to decide. "The legislature will consider action once the court sends back its ruling," Sophon said, noting that the administration has not yet used the funds and rushing the oversight process would be inappropriate timing. He emphasized that while expedited scrutiny of public spending is important, it must proceed at the right moment without obstruction. Sophon also mentioned that multiple political parties are expected to submit additional constitutional amendment drafts next week, with consideration likely in June.

Actress Baitoey Suwapitch took a break from her son Brother Chan to attend the "EVEANDBOY BEST SELLING AWARDS 2025" at One Bangkok, where she updated fans on her 13-month-old son's development. She described Chan as being in an active learning phase, developing strong speech abilities and memory skills, constantly pointing at things and attempting to repeat words after his parents.

Speaking about her son's growth, Baitoey explained that Chan is developing on schedule with excellent communication skills and curiosity about his surroundings. She noted that at 10 kilograms, he's become heavy enough that family members need to take turns holding him. She shared that her husband Pap has become very involved in parenting, now treating father and son equally with his work responsibilities.

Describing their first trip to Japan as a family, Baitoey called it both fun and challenging. She and Pap had to abandon their original plans and prioritize their son's needs, including dealing with jet lag and bedtime adjustments. Despite the difficulties, she felt it was worthwhile when she saw Chan experiencing new sights and sounds with wonder in his eyes.

When asked about jet lag challenges, she revealed that the two-hour time difference caused Chan to have delayed sleepiness and crying fits at night. The parents barely slept during their 6-7 day trip, constantly switching caretaking duties. Baitoey suggested they might wait a bit longer before turning into a full-time travel family, noting that Chan still needs further physical development and might feel uncomfortable with too much travel.

When asked if they might be bringing back a Japanese younger sibling, Baitoey didn't complete her response, but she had already stated earlier that she currently has no plans for a second child, wanting to devote her full time and energy to raising Chan.
