On May 25, 2025, at Royal Thai Police headquarters, Police Lieutenant General Trairuang Phiwphon, spokesman for the Royal Thai Police, responded to remarks made by former Cambodian leader Hun Sen suggesting that online scammer gangs operating from Cambodia are not using Cambodian airlines but rather transiting through Thailand.

Trairuang stated that combating transnational criminal networks, particularly online scammer gangs and call centers, requires focusing primarily on identifying operational bases. Currently, scammer network locations are scattered along border areas and various regions.

He noted that completely sealing the border is difficult due to the length and complexity of the Thai-Cambodian border, making illegal border crossings a significant enforcement challenge. However, if authorities can identify and access the criminal groups' operational locations, enforcement efforts would be far more effective, necessitating close international cooperation.

The Police Lieutenant General added that the Royal Thai Police's Anti-Online Fraud Center, under the supervision of Police Lieutenant General Chirathon Phuridetch, Deputy Police Chief, continuously coordinates and shares location data of scammer gangs and online fraud operation centers in neighboring countries. Upon receiving such intelligence, it is immediately forwarded to relevant agencies for action.

Trairuang affirmed that Thailand has implemented strict measures to intercept illegal border crossings, both on land and at sea, and conducts serious and decisive operations against call center and scammer gangs. These efforts have earned international recognition as one of the region's most serious approaches to online crime.

He emphasized that Police Chief Kittarat Patthanapol's policy prioritizes the safety of tourists and foreign nationals conducting legitimate business in Thailand, assuring that the country remains a safe and welcoming destination.

Trairuang warned that anyone attempting to use Thailand as a transit point for criminal operations or as a hideout for criminal networks, or those with outstanding warrants, cannot evade Thai police tracking due to strict intelligence and inspection systems from entry.

He acknowledged that some criminals may not appear in intelligence databases if they operate as ordinary individuals and have never been arrested, but if Thai authorities detect them, cases will be prosecuted fully, as demonstrated by numerous significant past cases.

Trairuang conceded that solving the scammer gang problem requires genuine cooperation from Cambodia, particularly acknowledging international intelligence indicating that scam centers are based in Cambodian territory.

He concluded that if Cambodia acknowledges the problem and conducts genuine joint investigations and suppression efforts, the scammer gang problem there would decrease, benefiting Thailand as well since neighboring countries' criminal activities directly impact Thailand's security and its citizens.

Actress Palm Emmika Manalo has stepped back from the entertainment world, though she previously left fans with notable performances and continues to look radiant while updating her daily life on Instagram more frequently. Facing Thailand's economic headwinds that have forced many families to tighten their belts, Palm has pivoted to entrepreneurship, becoming CEO of the rising new sportswear brand Jovia, which launched just a few months ago but has already attracted considerable consumer interest and support.

Palm opened up about her business venture, explaining that she had wanted to start a business for a long time and had saved a significant amount from her years in entertainment, which she decided to invest in creating sportswear. She noted that health and fitness trends are booming across all generations, and as someone who already loves exercising, she tried nearly every sportswear brand but wasn't satisfied with any of them. "We carefully selected quality pieces that actually fit well and genuinely meet customer needs at affordable prices," she said.

Initially focusing on the Thai market, Palm plans to eventually expand internationally, starting with neighboring countries. Jovia offers multiple styles and colors, with Palm emphasizing that quality drives pricing rather than the reverse. Regarding her entertainment career, she clarified that she hasn't abandoned it entirely but is now selective about roles that suit her current situation.

Oo Oo Thanapoom Setsatthikul from Domundi Entertainment entered the entertainment industry somewhat unexpectedly, but once he stepped in, the rising star discovered himself as both an artist and actor. His recent work includes the series "Mr. Fanboy" alongside Safe Woraphong Walerua, a solo single "Play With Me" under DMD Music, and membership in the band "DEXX."

On the Mr. Fanboy series progress, Oo Oo shares: "We're now on take 12. This series is something new and challenging. I just recently did the series 'Kee Muen Fah' and didn't shoot much, but stepping into Mr. Fanboy as the lead, I have to focus especially hard. The storyline is quite stressful, but it's also sweet. I'll admit my first lead role was very pressuring – I wanted every scene to turn out well because it will stay with us for a long time."

When asked about his expectations, Oo Oo says: "I have high expectations. This could determine my future direction. I was quite anxious and consulted with senior colleagues who advised me not to stress, as it shows on screen. I should relax and find joy in it, which is getting better now. Those early takes were stressful and I doubted myself, thinking I might not be able to act. But as an idol, I wondered what it would be like on screen. Now I realize it's different from what I thought. People might think acting is easy, but it's actually exhausting – just in a different way."

On balancing his artist and actor roles, Oo Oo explains: "At first, there were rough patches where things weren't working well, but lately I've started balancing better and managing my time. I'm naturally a bit lazy, but I've had seniors helping me. Supakarn has given me encouragement while I'm with DEXX, and talking with Safe, he's been reassuring, telling me not to overthink things."

When asked what gives him confidence to pursue this path, Oo Oo responds: "Honestly, having Safe means I'm not walking this alone. We walk together and support each other. That gives me more confidence. Wherever I go, he's there. Safe is part of my strength, but my biggest encouragement is my mom and dad. When I go home, mom waits for me, supports me, and cooks for me. It feels warm. They always ask if I'm tired – that alone means so much. I believe they're proud of me, and I want to make them prouder. I'm also proud of myself."

On how he got here, Oo Oo recalls: "To be honest, I entered this industry somewhat unintentionally, but not unwillingly – I just didn't feel ready. My mom wanted me to try, so she secretly submitted my audition for The Star alongside my sister. We actually argued about it, but since she'd already sent it, I decided to commit. Opportunities don't come often, so I went for the audition and got on TV. I was so happy.

But the thing was I was eliminated in the first round. I felt it was over, but then I got to compete in another show because it was on Channel One. That's when I discovered I loved singing and dancing, which gave me more passion. I didn't debut, but went to train at the agency with Supakarn. It was intense training, but we got through it together. Then things changed – we separated and there was a period we didn't talk much as we each pursued our own paths. But the world came full circle and we met again. We're really close friends now – we go everywhere together. Coming to Domundi felt like a turning point. Now I can support my parents, and I'm grateful I made it here."
