On May 22, 2025, at the Democratic Party headquarters, Abhisit Vejjajiva, a party-list MP and Democratic Party leader, discussed the submission of a constitutional amendment draft. He explained that the Democratic Party lacks sufficient MPs to submit its own draft alone, so it has consulted with other political parties facing the same challenge. The parties are currently aligned on two core principles: first, creating a process that ensures genuine public participation in the charter drafting assembly (CDA), which differs from Pheu Thai's approach; and second, not amending Chapters 1 and 2, which would differ from the People's Party draft.

Abbisit stated that beyond these points, the parties have differing views on the CDA selection process and constitutional approval procedures, with varying details among each party in current discussions. However, he believes a resolution will be reached next week and a draft can be submitted. Each party will present its own proposal and agreement is expected within the week.

On Pheu Thai's draft, Abbisit noted it clearly differs regarding public participation procedures, involving only registration without broader participatory mechanisms. The CDA selection process would also face problems in balancing main principles, proportionality, and provincial considerations.

When asked about Pheu Thai's draft being submitted in the party's name rather than through the Cabinet as typically required for major legislation, Abbisit said it's not necessary and depends on whether the government takes a position. The government clearly didn't include this in its policy from the start, so he's unsurprised there's no Cabinet draft—the government simply doesn't intend to pursue this matter, leaving it to political parties.

Regarding whether parties will submit one draft or multiple separate ones, Abbisit said it depends on whether differences can be reconciled. If so, one draft would be submitted; if not, they may submit separate drafts with mutual endorsements to ensure all proposals are presented. Submission is expected next week.

On whether public participation requires citizens to directly elect CDA members, potentially conflicting with a Constitutional Court ruling, Abbisit proposed using electronic polling to allow people to express views on CDA candidates through a digital system. This would ensure broad participation while saving costs compared to traditional elections. For those without phones, citizens could register in their own subdistrict to vote. Importantly, this would be polling, not election, so the resulting names wouldn't be final—the assembly would still make the ultimate selection.

Sugar Chalita shared relationship updates at the EVEANDBOY BEST SELLING AWARDS 2025 event at One Bangkok, discussing her nearly two-year romance with international boyfriend Charlie Temple. Though she loves him deeply and he's supportive, she's not yet considering marriage, preferring to focus on work and personal life first. She stressed that she and her collaborator Naht prioritize creating meaningful, socially beneficial content rather than chasing viral moments through drama.

When asked about sharing couple moments, she joked they rarely post anything sweet and that her friend takes photos instead. Her boyfriend recently surprised her with pink shoes he knew she wanted. She clarified he doesn't always spoil her—if she wants something, she just tells him. He never shows up empty-handed to events and is consistently supportive. She noted this is simply his responsibility, and she doesn't expect grand gestures; she's content as long as they're together and she can be herself.

Regarding language barriers, she explained that daily English practice has made communication smoother over time. He understands Thai culture exceptionally well, even better than she does in some ways. She spends more time with her work partner Naht than her boyfriend due to their filming schedule, though he occasionally mentions they haven't seen each other in a day.

She's been dating for nearly two years with multiple anniversary dates they celebrate—though she can't remember official dates since she's forgetful and he remembers their first meeting. When asked about marriage plans, she said she's not ready yet and wants to continue working, earning, and living life. She enjoys attending weddings and catching the bouquet but hasn't succeeded yet.

On content creation, she and Naht discuss what to produce, being mindful of appropriateness and cultural sensitivity. She rarely creates trend-chasing content, preferring to serve helpful material that educates and entertains. They balance meaningful content with lighter, frivolous posts. Many creators struggle with location permissions, and she acknowledged this is a concern—she always asks permission before filming and doesn't act recklessly.

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.
