On May 23, 2569, TikTok creator Prapitch Mukda described a frightening experience when his car became trapped on railway tracks beneath BTS Phayathai station late at night, with no warning signals and non-functioning safety barriers. He had just finished work and was heading home via a ride-hailing app when he reached the railway crossing below the BTS station. As his car passed halfway across the tracks and began straddling them, a train suddenly approached from the left at dangerously close range, with the train operator attempting emergency braking as well. The driver spotted the train's headlights flashing nearby and, remaining calm under pressure, immediately shifted into reverse and managed to back away to safety, despite another vehicle following behind him, resulting in no injuries.

Mukda confirmed that there were no warning sounds and the safety barriers never came down as the train approached—a terrifying situation in the heart of the city. After the train passed, concerned citizens checked the control booth to see if staff were present, but the cause of the failure remained unclear. Mukda expressed profound shock, stating his nerves were unsettled for over three hours afterward. He questioned why safety protocols and staff training hadn't improved following recent fatal railway accidents, emphasizing that responsible officials managing life-or-death systems must implement stricter employee training and organizational discipline. He urged relevant authorities to recognize that "people have only one life" and safety must be taken with utmost seriousness.

Three Condiments That Must Be Refrigerated After Opening—Never Leave Them Out. Risk of bacterial contamination with warning about four habits to avoid. Compiled by Sanook News Online team on May 23, 2025. Foreign media report: Don't store condiments near heat sources! Especially these three types of seasonings—once opened, they should be refrigerated immediately for safety. Improper storage of condiments not only spoils flavor and wastes food, but can also harbor pathogens, toxins, and accumulated bacteria.

Here are three groups of condiments that should be refrigerated immediately after opening, because leaving them at room temperature means what you eat daily may not be nutrition but rather a breeding ground for disease:

1. Sauces and seasonings high in water and protein Whether oyster sauce, soy sauce, black bean sauce, or mayonnaise—all are high-moisture products rich in protein. While sealed in packaging, these sauces are sterile from industrial processing, but the moment you open the lid, outside air and moisture trigger rapid bacterial spore growth. Left at room temperature, especially in hot, humid weather, these sauces spoil easily and become contaminated. They also risk mold growth that can produce aflatoxin, a dangerous toxin that damages liver cells and increases cancer risk if accumulated in the body long-term. Therefore, after each use, seal tightly and refrigerate immediately to prevent microbial contamination.

2. Fermented condiments Soy sauce, soybean paste, miso, shrimp paste, and pickled chilies are all products from beneficial microorganism fermentation. However, the microorganisms and enzymes in these products don't disappear—they're merely dormant. When opened and stored at room temperature, especially in warm conditions, microorganisms and yeast reactivate. Uncontrolled re-fermentation can alter color, smell, and structure, causing deterioration. Consumption may cause digestive tract irritation or food poisoning. Refrigeration slows fermentation and maintains product quality.

3. High-fat or high-oil condiments Many mistakenly believe oily foods don't spoil easily, leaving chili oil, hot oil, or peanut butter on kitchen shelves without worry—a serious misconception. Fats in these condiments are sensitive to light and high heat. Exposed to steam from gas stoves or kitchen heat, fat oxidation occurs rapidly, creating free radicals and toxic compounds with foul odors. Regular consumption of oxidized fat may harm digestion and overwork the liver. Refrigeration slows these chemical reactions, keeping oils and fats safe for consumption.

Dangerous habits to stop immediately when using condiments Beyond choosing proper storage locations, daily usage habits affect food cleanliness and safety. To protect family health, avoid these habits strictly:

Storing condiments near stoves or heat sources This is the most common mistake in many kitchens, as steam and moisture from cooking accelerate fat oxidation and bacterial growth.

Having previously experienced heartbreak, Ob Obniti and Prang Kanyanphon opened up on the WandOland program about their new relationship, which has renewed many people's faith that true love still exists. The couple acknowledged that love isn't just about happiness—it also involves insecurity and old wounds that need gradual healing, requiring honest communication, sincere apologies, and choosing to be authentic without forcing change to be loved. Prang became emotional during the show, revealing that this love is so beautiful she fears it might one day disappear.

When asked what had changed about herself over the past two years, Prang shared that she's been fond of Ob from the first day, watching him transition from non-boyfriend status to becoming her boyfriend. She recalls staring at his face and saying, "I still can't get used to this," amazed that someone she once saw from a distance is now sitting beside her on the sofa watching movies together. She never imagined this junior colleague in the entertainment industry would become her boyfriend, and she finds it amusing that she can't believe this person is now beside her in a different capacity.

When asked when they felt the relationship shift, Ob explained that it happened gradually, with increased opportunities to talk as everyone supported them 200 percent. Prang mentioned that appearing on the WandOland program brought them together, and whenever the show aired, they'd discuss it. Ob added that both returning to make music and consulting each other about problems and techniques they encountered in their artistic pursuits deepened their conversations.

Both acknowledged that every relationship contains both joy and sorrow, and there's never a time when love is purely happiness—you have to get the first button right before anything else. Ob expressed being deeply moved by people telling him that witnessing their relationship has restored their faith in love. He shared a story of someone who approached him saying they had given up on love after repeated disappointment, but seeing their relationship rekindled hope and made them believe good love could happen again.

When asked what he promised himself he wouldn't repeat from past relationships, Ob admitted that he used to hold things back, felt shy, struggled to express himself, and wasn't comfortable showing affection publicly. He realized that sometimes he wouldn't voice his dissatisfaction, wouldn't express appreciation for good things, or wouldn't make his loved ones feel seen. He acknowledged that while he envisioned a future with Prang in his dreams, he never actually told her, which might have made her uncertain about what he wanted or how long she needed to wait. He reflected on how this could have caused her to feel a certain way, and he's since changed this pattern.

Family members were stunned to discover a 47-year-old man fatally shot in Khanai, reporting they heard multiple gunshots but no one responded due to frequent shooting sounds in the area. Police are urgently pursuing the suspect.

At 10:30 a.m. on May 23, 2569, Sergeant Major Nairongk Hokpan of Kongkra Police Station received a report of a fatal shooting in Khanai within a fruit orchard in Khlong Chaleam subdistrict, Kongkra district, Phatthalung province. He immediately led investigation officers, evidence technicians from Phatthalung, and a hospital physician to the scene.

At the location, officers found the body of Wirojn (surname withheld), 47 years old, lying face down. The victim had four gunshot wounds to the neck and back from an unidentified firearm, believed to be a homemade weapon. Officers could not determine the exact type of gun used. The body was sent for autopsy and bullet extraction at Hat Yai Hospital.

Initial investigation revealed that around 8:00 p.m. on May 22, residents heard 4-5 gunshots but did not check on the incident due to the frequency of shooting sounds in the Khanai area. It was not until relatives arrived that they discovered the victim had been shot dead.

The motive remains under investigation. Officers found that the victim had a history of petty theft and drug use, frequently causing disturbance among residents, and preferred to keep to himself.

Cat lovers rejoice: Syros, a small island in Greece, is recruiting volunteers to care for cats in exchange for free housing, breakfast, and basic utilities. The program accepts both individual volunteers and couples who are in good health, mature, self-sufficient, and able to commit to at least one month of work. Volunteers will receive accommodation, breakfast, and utilities while working approximately five hours per day, five days per week. Those with veterinary assistant experience or prior experience caring for stray cats will receive special consideration, though the organization welcomes all dedicated cat lovers who are hardworking, responsible, and punctual.

The program prefers applicants with prior work experience, noting that those under 25 may struggle to demonstrate the independence and decision-making skills essential for this role. Typically, about four volunteers work during each rotation period, coming from diverse countries and cultures. Volunteers must be open-minded and respectful of cultural, racial, gender, and religious differences they may encounter both within the organization and in Greece. They will live in a shared house arrangement with private bedrooms but communal kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas shared with two to three other volunteers.

The organization has officially closed applications for 2026 after receiving overwhelming interest from cat lovers worldwide, but applications for 2027 will reopen in September 2026.

The Department of Business Development has warned entrepreneurs to submit their financial statements for the accounting year ending December 31, 2568, by June 2, 2569, or face legal penalties.

Department Director Poonpong Naiyanaphakon of the Commerce Ministry stated that filing financial statements is a legal obligation for all businesses. Companies with accounting years ending December 31, 2568, must pay close attention to deadlines. Limited companies, public companies, trade associations, and chambers of commerce must obtain shareholder approval for financial statements by April 30, 2569, and submit them to the Department within one month of the meeting. Registered partnerships, joint ventures, and foreign entities have until June 2, 2569, as the final deadline.

To ensure convenience and accuracy, the department encourages all juristic persons to use the DBD e-Filing system, which operates 24/7. Simply log in at efiling.dbd.go.th and select the "Submit Financial Statements" menu. Successful submission will show a "Notification Received" status.

"The Department of Business Development urges the business sector not to wait until the last minute," Poonpong stated. "If document errors occur or the system becomes congested, it could result in serious consequences: (1) legal penalties affecting both the juristic person and individual authorized directors; (2) damage to business reputation and credit, as non-submission will show a 'Default Status' that erodes confidence from investors, partners, and financial institutions, causing missed investment opportunities; and (3) risk of legal summons, and if filing defaults continue for three years, the company will be deregistered as an abandoned business."

He urged businesses with completed financial statements to submit immediately to allow time for corrections if any defects are found. "Don't let delays destroy the business credibility you've built. Act quickly. The department would prefer not to assess penalties or pursue legal action against the business sector," he said.
