Nuclear Single for 7 Months and Still Happy, Insists Being Alone Is Better Than a Bad Relationship

Thai entertainer Nuclear Hahrsa says she's happier single after seven months without a partner, prioritizing her own well-being and her son's over pursuing romance.

2d ago Khaosod

Thai entertainer Nuclear Hahrsa has opened up about her seven-month single status, declaring she's thoroughly enjoying life on her own and has no regrets. While she acknowledged chatting with some foreign men, she emphasized there's no one special in her life at the moment. Her priority remains her own happiness and that of her young son, Thaiga.

Nuclear made these comments while attending the grand opening of Laks Cafe & SRILAKSHAKTI – DEVI near Ladprao Soi 35. She shared a touching moment about her son, who humorously asked her to "scan" any new boyfriend before she commits, insisting on vetting potential partners himself.

When asked about her dating prospects, Nuclear laughed off suggestions that she's looking specifically for foreign boyfriends. "I've never really dated foreigners before, so when they started chatting with me, it felt natural," she explained. "It's good practice for my English too."

Asked if she gets lonely being single, Nuclear was adamant: "Not at all. I'm genuinely very happy. I can do whatever I want, sleep well, wake up and do things freely, spend time with my son. I'm actually getting addicted to being alone. It feels peaceful and comfortable."

Nuclear revealed she's not making wishes about love like some of her peers. Instead, she's asking for general happiness. "Everyone tells me I should wish for love, but I'm choosing myself first right now," she said. "If someone comes along who makes me happy, I hope we meet. But if not, I'm perfectly fine staying happy like this—with my son, with myself. If someone isn't right for me, I ask that they stay away and don't disrupt my peace."

When asked what would happen if she never found the right person, Nuclear was surprisingly unfazed: "That's okay. I have Thaiga. Life is manageable. If I have to stay single forever, so be it. Being alone is better than being with someone who makes my life worse. Self-love and taking care of my own mental health is more important than caring for someone else."

Her son apparently shares her pragmatic approach. He's asked if she has a new boyfriend yet and even volunteered to check out any potential suitors himself—though with a seven-year-old's brutal honesty, he also told her during Valentine's Day that she should get a boyfriend so he'd have someone to sit with while he got bored at dinner.

When asked if she's tired of love, Nuclear dismissed the notion. "I'm not tired of it. But I think if it's meant to happen, the universe will bring it. Right now, I haven't found it, but if it comes, it comes. If it's right, it's right."

Despite her striking appearance, Nuclear insists she's available but unapologetic about her happiness. "I'm available, but I also need to keep looking good and stay ready," she explained. "What makes me happy is that love isn't my main focus right now. Everything feels easy and comfortable. I can stay home or meet up with friends at 2 AM—no one telling me what's right or wrong. I'm happy doing things my way. There's freedom in not having to take care of someone else's feelings. If someone comes into my life, I'd want to be taken care of the same way—just taken care of, period."

75-Year-Old Woman with 26cm Horn-Like Growth on Scalp Thought to Be Cursed, Doctors Discover Hidden Skin Cancer

A 75-year-old woman sought treatment for a 26cm horn-like growth on her scalp that she had ignored for years, only to have doctors discover squamous cell carcinoma—a type of skin cancer—hidden beneath the unusual keratin buildup.

2d ago Khaosod

Medical page Tensia shared a remarkable case of a 75-year-old patient with a 26-centimeter horn-like growth protruding from the back of her scalp. Those around her initially panicked, wondering what she had been hit with, but the truth revealed by doctors was far more serious: skin cancer.

The patient, without any known chronic conditions, first noticed a small horn-like lump on the back of her scalp that caused no pain or itching. She initially dismissed it, assuming it would stop growing on its own. However, over many years, the growth gradually lengthened, thickened, and began curving like an animal horn. When it became large enough to hide her hair and interfere with sleep by pressing against her pillow, concerned relatives brought her to the hospital.

Doctors immediately recognized the condition as Cutaneous Horn, a rare skin growth caused by abnormally thick and hard keratin buildup—the same protein found in nails, hair, and the outer skin layer. The growth measured approximately 25-26 centimeters in length. CT scans revealed a large tissue mass extending from the scalp with some calcium deposits, though it had not penetrated the skull bone, which reassured many who feared the worst.

After surgical removal and tissue analysis, the diagnosis proved alarming: beneath the horn lay Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), a type of skin cancer. What made this case particularly dangerous was that the horn itself may have resulted from cancerous cells at its base, meaning the keratin buildup was triggered by precancerous or cancerous activity.

The patient was fortunate that the cancer remained confined to the upper skin layers without spreading to blood vessels or nerves, allowing complete surgical removal. Five years of follow-up revealed no recurrence. The case serves as an important reminder that unusual growths on the body can mask serious conditions, and any persistent, hard, thickened, or rapidly growing skin lesions should be evaluated by medical professionals.

Structural Engineers Association President Reveals 10 Warning Signs at Railway-Road Crossings

A deadly train-bus collision at a Bangkok railway crossing has prompted engineers to identify 10 warning signs at Thailand's 2,300 grade-level intersections, many lacking adequate safety barriers and signals.

2d ago Khaosod

On May 17, 2026, Prof. Dr. Amorn Pimanmas, president of the Structural Engineers Association of Thailand and a faculty member at Kasetsart University's Faculty of Engineering, disclosed details about a train-bus collision at the Makkasan-Asoke-Din Daeng railway crossing that resulted in eight deaths and numerous injuries.

Prof. Dr. Amorn called for relevant agencies to urgently survey other high-risk crossings and develop concrete solutions. According to his research, Thailand has approximately 2,300 grade-level railway-road intersections nationwide.

Many of these crossings have only warning signs but lack safety barriers, contributing to accidents. Bangkok alone has dozens of similar at-risk crossings.

Risk assessment is conducted using the Traffic Moment (TM) value—a calculation based on vehicle volume multiplied by daily train frequency. Higher TM values indicate greater accident risk. If TM is below 10,000, warning signs are sufficient. If TM exceeds 10,000 but is below 100,000, barriers and signs are required. If TM exceeds 100,000, grade-separated crossings should be constructed.

Prof. Dr. Amorn identified 10 characteristics of high-risk grade-level railway-road crossings:

1. High traffic moment values (TM exceeding tens of thousands) 2. Crossings located on curves in either road or rail 3. Crossings on steep slopes 4. Crossings with oblique angles rather than perpendicular intersections 5. Crossings with construction or obstructions within 1,000 meters 6. Crossings near bridges, tunnels, interchanges, or other access points 7. Obscured or deteriorated traffic signs unsuitable for use 8. Inadequate lighting, particularly at night 9. Incomplete barriers lacking signal lights or warning sounds 10. Absence of stop lines 5 meters before railway tracks

"These crossing points are high-risk areas where the public must exercise caution while driving," Prof. Dr. Amorn stated. "Relevant agencies—including the State Railway of Thailand, the Department of Rail Transport, and the Mass Transit Authority—must urgently survey crossings, develop risk assessments, and strengthen safety standards."

Missing Kanchanaburi woman found dead in staged suicide case

A 44-year-old Kanchanaburi woman missing for four days was found dead behind a sugar factory, with her neighbor confessing to killing her and staging it as a suicide.

Missing Kanchanaburi woman found dead in staged suicide caseLegacy

A woman who had been missing for four days was found dead on May 15 behind a sugar factory in Ban Kao subdistrict, Mueang district, Kanchanaburi, after her neighbour confessed to killing her and staging a suicide.

The woman, identified as 44 year old Kesa, was last heard from at around 6am on May 10, when she called her former husband, 41 year old Singhan. Singhan told police that he and Kesa remained in contact about their child despite separating. He said he became concerned when she stopped responding because she would not normally disappear without explanation. After relatives were unable to contact her, they posted appeals on social media and searched for her for more than four days. Police were alerted around midday on May 15 after woodcutters found Kesa’s body behind the sugar factory. The body was found hanging from a tree with a rope around the neck. Photo via DailyNews Police said the body had started to decompose and a strong odour was reported throughout the area. They also found underwear and the victim’s mobile phone near the scene, leading them to suspect the case may have involved a staged killing. Relatives said the condition of the scene appeared suspicious. The victim’s niece said Kesa was wearing a shirt that belonged to her, and that the way the body was found made relatives believe the scene had been staged. The niece said relatives initially suspected two men: Kesa’s boyfriend, whom she dated after separating from her former husband, and a neighbour living about four rooms away. She added that two days before Kesa disappeared, she heard her aunt arguing loudly with the neighbour. Photo via Thairath Police later inspected Kesa’s rented room in Ban Kao and identified both men as people who may have been connected to the case. Investigators then focused on the neighbour because of his suspicious behaviour, including information that he regularly carried a knife. At around 3.30pm yesterday, May 16, police obtained an arrest warrant for 44 year old Somror, the neighbour living nearby. Thairath reported that Somror confessed during questioning. He allegedly claimed the incident followed an argument while drinking alcohol, which led him to plan the attack. Somror remains in police custody as legal proceedings continue. He faces charges of rape and premeditated murder, while police are still questioning his wife to determine whether she had any involvement in the case. Photo via MGR Online In a similar incident, a Thai man admitted to killing his ex-girlfriend at an apartment in Bangkok’s Lat Phrao district and staging her death as a suicide after first saying she had hanged herself from an air-conditioning compressor. The story Missing Kanchanaburi woman found dead in staged suicide case as seen on Thaiger News.

Indian Man Lifted 7 Seconds Into the Air by Storm Before Landing Over 100 Meters Away

A 50-year-old Indian man was lifted 15 meters into the air by a severe dust storm in Uttar Pradesh on May 13, carried over 100 meters, and landed in a sugarcane field with fractures but survived. The incident occurred as powerful storms swe

2d ago Khaosod

A narrow escape for an Indian man who was swept up by a powerful dust storm, lifted approximately 15 meters into the air for 7 seconds before being hurled over 100 meters away and landing in a sugarcane field. The incident occurred on May 13 when northern India was struck by severe dust storms, heavy rain, and lightning, causing extensive damage to several areas including Uttar Pradesh.

A dramatic video of the incident went viral on social media, showing the man being lifted into the air before being thrown across the area. According to Indian media reports, the man's name is Mohd Nanhe, 50 years old, from Bareilly city in Uttar Pradesh, and he works as an electric three-wheeler driver for cargo transport.

On the day of the incident, Nanhe traveled to a wedding venue to transport goods, but in the evening the weather rapidly deteriorated with severe winds. He noticed the metal roof framework of the wedding site being blown away, so he quickly tried to tie it down with ropes to secure the structure. However, the overwhelming wind force ripped the roof free and lifted Nanhe approximately 15 meters into the air. According to reports, he remained suspended in the air for 7 seconds before being thrown forcefully into a sugarcane field over 100 meters away. The impact knocked him unconscious, but fortunately the dense sugarcane crop reduced the force of the landing, allowing him to survive miraculously.

After being taken to the hospital, doctors found he had fractured arm and leg bones but no life-threatening injuries. Nanhe later spoke of his harrowing ordeal, saying: "While I was floating in the air, I thought I would never see my children again."

The video was recorded by 16-year-old Rajan Ansari, who was photographing the storm from his rooftop and happened to capture the moment Nanhe was swept into the air. He shared the clip on social media where it went viral and garnered significant attention.

According to reports, Nanhe lives with his wife and five children, earning his primary income from operating an electric three-wheeler for cargo transport. After the incident, he was taken to a private hospital and his condition stabilized before he was discharged. However, the following day his condition deteriorated again, requiring additional treatment.

Regarding the dust storms and thunderstorms that occurred across multiple areas of India on May 13, authorities have reported at least 96 deaths, over 50 injuries, and over 100 livestock casualties. Uttar Pradesh was the hardest hit region as it is India's most populous state.

During March to June each year, northern India typically faces extreme heat before monsoon season arrives, making severe dust storms and heavy rainfall a regular occurrence. The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has ordered officials to expedite emergency relief operations within 24 hours and quickly distribute compensation and essential supplies to affected families.

Husband Shocked by Wife's Birthday Surprise: She Drives Him to His Mistress's House Before Announcing Divorce

A wife drove her unfaithful husband to his mistress's house on his birthday, calmly confronting him about the affair before announcing she wanted a divorce. The dramatic confrontation, posted online, sparked widespread support for her compo

2d ago Khaosod

What should have been a joyful birthday celebration turned into a day of reckoning when a wife caught her husband's infidelity.

Lexie, the wife, posted a video of herself driving her husband, Matt Lock, to the home of Vanessa, his mistress, before telling him to celebrate his birthday there instead.

At the beginning of the video, Lexie calmly asks Matt if he's excited about his "birthday surprise" before driving into a residential neighborhood. She asks if he's been there before. When he says yes, she replies, "Your surprise is somewhere around here," and presses further, "Have you been here recently?" He responds that it's been a long time.

She continues probing: "What about yesterday? Did you come here?" while pointing to a specific house and asking whose home it is. When Matt claims not to know, she directly asks, "You don't know someone named Vanessa? But it seems like she knows you very well from your phone."

Toward the end of the video, Lexie says, "I'm going to drop you off there. Happy birthday. You can get out of the car now. And I want a divorce too." Though Matt initially refuses and won't exit the vehicle, he eventually gets out after his wife firmly repeats her statement.

Additionally, information indicates that Matt signed up for a dating app on December 1, 2025, and most recently matched with a woman on April 28.

After the video went viral, netizens rallied behind Lexie, praising her calm handling of the situation with comments like "Love how she talks to him like he's a little child" and "When a woman becomes cold and decisive like that, it means she's truly given up."

Missing Passenger in Train-Bus Collision Heard Screaming Before Line Cut Off, Family Rushes for DNA Test

A 66-year-old woman missing from a train-bus collision in Thailand may be among the victims; her family provided DNA samples after her friend heard her screaming before their call cut off, matching CCTV footage timing and her appearance on

2d ago Khaosod

Starting from early morning on May 17, 2025, relatives of missing passengers who have not appeared on the injured list came to the Forensic Institute at Police Hospital to provide DNA samples for identification. Most reported that their missing relatives were aboard the bus at the time of the accident.

One family coming for DNA testing belongs to Ms. Sirilak (surname withheld), the granddaughter of 66-year-old Aunt Eiang, who is missing. She said that on the night of May 16, she followed the news but didn't initially think much of it, believing her aunt wouldn't have been traveling to that location. However, early the next morning, her sister contacted her again, noting that a person sitting near the middle door inside the bus in CCTV footage resembled their aunt—from her startled expression to her facial features. They then requested CCTV footage from the area near the soi entrance in Sumutprakan district and found that the color of the shirt matched the CCTV images. The family immediately came for DNA testing.

"The most painful thing is that Aunt's friend who was on a phone call with her heard her screaming before the mobile signal cut off, and we haven't been able to contact her since—which coincides with the time her Facebook was last active. From the CCTV footage, we can see she was startled, but couldn't go anywhere because the accident happened so quickly," the granddaughter said.

The family is now deeply worried, as it feels like a tremendous loss. Aunt has been the pillar of the household, having raised them from childhood. They are uncertain whether Aunt regularly took bus line 206, though her daughter mentioned she would take the bus to visit her doctor or enjoyed taking buses to massage shops far from home and traveling.

"Right now we can only pray it's not her, but we have to acknowledge our worry because all the details and timing match perfectly," she admitted. The family is extremely stressed, with Aunt's three children unable to accept the situation. She has had to try to keep everyone composed.

She hasn't seen all angles of the CCTV footage—only the angle where Aunt was sitting—so she doesn't know where the negligence occurred. The family wonders if it was the bus driver's negligence, but they must await the police investigation results.

Regarding the DNA collection, forensic officials stated it should take no more than three days to confirm identity. The remains will then be returned to families for religious ceremonies. The Gratitude Foundation will transport all remains to their respective destinations for families at no cost.

Supersports 10 Mile Run 2026 Draws Record 7,500 Runners Through Bangkok's Heart

Over 7,500 runners tackled a 10-mile course through Bangkok in the Supersports 10 Mile Run 2026, which paired competitive racing with sustainability initiatives including plastic-free practices and comprehensive waste segregation.

2d ago Khaosod

The Supersports 10 Mile Run 2026 Presented by Under Armour wrapped up as a massive success, bringing together over 7,500 runners from across Thailand to tackle a 10-mile route through the heart of Bangkok while championing the health movement. Supersports, Thailand's leading sports retailer under Central Retail, partnered with Under Armour, a premier American athletic apparel and equipment brand, to deliver the centerpiece running event that attracted participants nationwide for both 10-mile and 5-mile distances in a vibrant atmosphere that resonated with the fitness community.

This year's competition operated under the theme "Beat Your Mile, Make Your 10 Mile GREEN Memory," combining an engaging running experience with sustainable event practices. The event earned widespread acclaim from participants for its competitive standards, course management, safety protocols, and eco-friendly initiatives—reflecting Supersports' commitment to elevating Thai running events to international standards. The course buzzed with energy and color from runners of all generations, joined by running communities, health influencers, and renowned athletes who inspired participants, while 10-mile finishers who completed the course within the set time received Under Armour finisher t-shirts amid enthusiastic cheers throughout the race.

Beyond the competition itself, the event seriously advanced its Sustainable Event concept through comprehensive waste reduction efforts under an Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Event framework featuring four main initiatives: deploying over 10,000 refillable glasses from EcoCrew to eliminate single-use plastic cups, supported by 100% waste segregation stations throughout the event for systematic recycling; organizing green-themed Pacer and Sweeper teams with a flag-based management system to improve course control and runner safety; using bioplastic race packs within a Reuse-Reduce-Recycle model while eliminating traditional plastic bags entirely to tangibly reduce environmental impact; and implementing 3R waste segregation from the start and proper disposal after the event to promote sustainable waste management.
