Industry Ministry Showcases Industrial Estates Ready to Support Global Manufacturing Relocation, Positioning Thailand as Regional Tech and Clean Energy Hub

13h ago Khaosod

Industry Minister Varawut Silpaarchaa revealed progress at the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) following the implementation of aggressive policies to drive Thailand's industrial sector. The Industry Ministry is accelerating Thailand's economic growth through the 'ONE MIND unified industry' initiative, showing concrete results.

Investment figures in industrial estates are surging, capitalizing on the global shift in manufacturing bases and positioning Thailand as a regional center for technology and clean energy industries. The IEAT's Low Carbon City development policy has become a major attraction for clean energy industrial groups to increase their investments continuously.

Simultaneously, the IEAT is accelerating efforts to elevate industrial estates nationwide as primary investment destinations for global investors through four key pillars: partnering with the World Bank to attract Green Finance supporting SMEs and future industries, promoting standardized international carbon credit markets, reforming laws to reduce factory licensing procedures to one month, and implementing smart surveillance systems to monitor environmental pollution 24/7.

According to IEAT Governor Sumet Tangsetsereekul, as of March 2025, overall investment in industrial estates continues to expand strongly. Thailand currently has 82 industrial estates across 18 provinces, with 75 operating commercially, housing over 5,798 factories with cumulative investment value reaching 13.37 trillion baht.

This aligns with the Board of Investment (BOI) first-quarter 2025 investment promotion applications, which surged over 1.01 trillion baht, representing 2.4 times growth—a crucial positive signal for Thailand's economic recovery, reflecting investor confidence in choosing Thailand as their primary manufacturing base.

Minister Varawut stated that these expansion figures reflect economic stability and success in attracting new investment into the country, particularly in electric vehicle (EV) and advanced technology sectors.

"The Industry Ministry is ready to push forward the new phase of the 'Thailand Future Fund: TFF,' raising over 100 billion baht as an important financial tool to develop green economic projects and support artificial intelligence (AI) and clean energy industries in the future, such as floating solar farms and digital infrastructure."

"Currently, the IEAT still has over 24,984 rai of available land for investment, mostly in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). We will accelerate development of the Smart Port Laem Chabang with digital technology and intelligent utilities infrastructure to support future industries (S-Curve), while supporting Thai SMEs to enter global supply chains to drive sustainable economic growth."

Bruno Won't Tolerate Keane's Distorted Comments – Former Legend Continues Jabs on Social Media

Bruno Fernandes denied Roy Keane's accusation that he prioritizes personal statistics over team success, saying the legendary midfielder misrepresented his comments about Manchester United's recent victory. Keane responded with a cryptic In

13h ago Khaosod

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United's captain, has responded to criticism from Roy Keane, the legendary Red Devil midfielder, accusing him of distorting comments about prioritizing personal statistics over team success, while Keane continues to jab the younger player on social media.

Keane previously criticized Bruno for being at the center of "theatrical dramatics" following Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest in the penultimate weekend of the season. The Irish national team legend claimed the Portuguese international prioritizes personal achievement over team interests in his drive to break the single-season assist record.

"After the Forest match, he gave an interview saying that Manchester United's captain said many times I should have shot but I passed the ball. Wow, how can a footballer like you compete by focusing only on personal statistics? He won't win trophies if he thinks that way about the team," Keane stated.

In his latest response, Bruno clarified that Keane misrepresented his actual comments. Bruno said he actually stated: "Today there might have been moments when I should have passed instead of shooting. I'm very happy to have made assists, but more importantly, I'm happy we won and finished the season beautifully."

Bruno expressed hope of clarifying things with his senior teammate, saying: "As I always say, I don't mind criticism. I accept it from everyone and have never retaliated. People have opinions—they think it's good or bad, that's their right. What I don't like is when people lie about things. In Roy Keane's case, what he said is basically a lie because either he didn't see the other interview or can't say I said something I didn't say. Fortunately for me, everything is recorded."

"I accept his criticism. I accept that he may or may not like me as a player or as a person, but what I don't like is him putting words in my mouth that I never said. That's the only thing I don't like," Bruno added.

However, following Bruno's response, Keane posted a drawing of a donkey braying loudly on Instagram with the caption: "Too much attention makes the donkey think it's a lion," seemingly taking another jab at Bruno without explicitly naming him.

This isn't the first time current Manchester United players have clashed with Red Devil legends. Earlier this season, Lisandro Martínez had a dispute with Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt after they criticized his height and his ability to compete with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in the Manchester derby.

Family of Final Victim in Train-Bus Collision Arrives to Claim Body, Describes Deceased's Solitary Life

Family members claimed the body of the eighth and final victim of a train-bus collision at Bangkok's Asok-Dindeang intersection, a 44-year-old insurance worker whose isolated life meant he had no close family to initially report him missing

13h ago Khaosod

On May 26, 2025, at the Police Hospital's Forensic Institute, 60-year-old Nanthavaly Nakrop, the deceased's eldest sister, arrived along with her father's younger brother Long Pintong, 59, to claim the body of Semlap Pintong, a 44-year-old insurance company employee and the eighth and final victim of the train-bus collision at the Asok-Dindeang intersection. The family had not previously come forward to report him missing. The investigation led by Deputy Inspector Jarupat Buakaew from Mukkasan Police Station traced clues from Instagram stories posted by another victim, Wipharuks Phueri, and connected with the deceased's close friends and company, ultimately conducting DNA testing with his paternal cousin Pairat Pintong to confirm his identity, despite the two not being well acquainted.

Nanthavaly, 60, the deceased's maternal aunt who raised him as a child and hadn't seen him for over 30 years, revealed that although they had drifted apart geographically, they maintained contact and supported each other. She expressed shock upon learning he was among the victims, only discovering this when his friends and employer contacted her after the accident occurred the previous week.

"His life was lonely. Sometimes he wouldn't even answer calls, so we rarely spoke, only on important holidays," Nanthavaly said. "He was talented, hardworking, and had a good character. His parents and younger sister have all passed. He worked in insurance and had to commute to work, returning home late every day. When we'd visit, sometimes we'd stand waiting in the dark because he hadn't returned yet. He had no family. It was a pitiful life."

She emphasized that the family's visit was not motivated by hopes for compensation or financial settlement, only to properly care for and give their relative a dignified final farewell. "We're not expecting money at all. Even if we received nothing, we wouldn't mind. We just want to care for and send our brother off in the best way possible."

The family will take the deceased's body for religious ceremonies at Chompuvet Temple in Muang Nonthaburi district, where the remains of the deceased's parents and sister are kept. His rental room remains unopened as the family deliberates on next steps.

Thanakorn Sangkaew, director of the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority's Personnel Development Office, attending the proceedings, expressed condolences and stated that the BMTA will take full responsibility for the body's collection, religious ceremonies, and all related arrangements, including compensation according to applicable regulations. The family can determine the dates and procedures according to their wishes. Sangkaew confirmed that the BMTA has already assisted the families of the seven previously identified victims and will continue providing full support.

Break the Dry Skin Cycle: Long-lasting Moisture Lock and Skin Barrier Repair

Dry skin caused by weakened barriers can be fixed by replenishing ceramides, natural fatty acids that lock in moisture. CeraVe products use a patented technology to deliver hydration for up to 24 hours without the greasy feeling.

13h ago Khaosod

Dry, flaky skin with itching and irritation is a confidence-damaging problem, especially for those who spend long hours in air-conditioned environments. Many people apply multiple moisturizers only to find temporary relief before their skin becomes tight and flaky again in a never-ending cycle that continuously undermines skin health.

Ceramides and Skin Barrier: The Overlooked Key

Sustainable solutions to dehydrated skin don't come from surface moisturizing alone. Instead, you must understand how the skin barrier works—a structure built primarily on ceramides, natural fatty acids. When ceramide levels drop, the skin barrier weakens, losing its ability to retain moisture and becoming easily irritated. True restoration requires replenishing ceramides to rebuild and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.

Deep Nourishment Innovation: Extended Moisture Lock

To address dehydration effectively, CeraVe skincare products stand out by combining three essential ceramides. Whether in rich cream form or lightweight lotion, they feature MVE (Multivesicular Emulsion) technology—a patented delivery system that gradually releases active ingredients continuously for up to 24 hours of hydration. Key benefits include:

Skin Barrier Restoration: Essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) prevent water loss from the skin's layers MVE Technology: Provides deep, continuous hydration throughout the day Tailored Texture: Choose between cream and lotion formulas without greasiness

Developed with dermatologists, these products are fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic—safe even for sensitive skin. For those seeking to restore soft, supple skin, selecting the right texture allows you to experience lasting hydration and finally say goodbye to flaking and itching.

13h ago Khaosod

Prime Minister Anutthin Charnvirakul led a Thai delegation to Paris to discuss and demonstrate Thailand's political stability and commitment to economic reform with MEDEF International in France.

The delegation included Deputy Prime Ministers Ekniti Nitithanpraphat (Finance Ministry), Sihasak Phuangketkaew (Foreign Affairs), and Supachee Suthammapun (Commerce), alongside Deputy Prime Minister Yotchannan Wongsawadi (Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation) and Culture Minister Sabida Thaisat. They met with MEDEF International, led by Vice Chairman Francois Corbin and Chairman of the France-Thailand Business Council, in Paris, France.

The Prime Minister reiterated Thailand's political stability and commitment to economic reform, highlighted by Moody's recent upgrade of Thailand's outlook to "Stable"—a signal of investor confidence in Thailand's long-term investment potential. He thanked the French business community for their trust and continued partnership in Thailand's growth.

The PM noted that Thailand is gaining momentum from foreign direct investment through the "Thailand Fast Pass" policy, aimed at making investment in Thailand "fast, smart, predictable, and reliable." He also emphasized that Thailand serves as a gateway to ASEAN's market of over 700 million people.

Deputy PM Ekniti stated that both countries can elevate cooperation further, describing this as a critical moment to build long-term partnerships as Thailand prepares for major future investments amid stable macroeconomic fundamentals, including high international reserves, low foreign debt, and manageable public debt-to-GDP ratios.

He emphasized that Thailand can be a strategic partner for France in Asia to build new supply chains focused not just on cost but on infrastructure, economic resilience, skilled labor, and university collaboration to develop talent for future industries. Thailand is ready to advance cooperation with France under the "5Ts" framework—Targeted Industries, Transition, Transform, Transparent, and Together—to create sustainable long-term partnerships with French businesses.

Thai wheelchair racer Pongsagon Paiyaw delivered an outstanding performance at the Nottwil Para Athletics Grand Prix 2026 in Switzerland, capturing gold in the men's 200-meter wheelchair racing T53 class with a time of 24.89 seconds. Beyond claiming the championship, he shattered the world record previously held by Canadian Brent Lagatos, who set the mark of 25.04 seconds on May 28, 2017—nearly nine years ago—by just 0.15 seconds. Speaking afterward, Paiyaw revealed that the Switzerland competition served as a world ranking point accumulation event, and he successfully achieved his goal of breaking the 200-meter world record. He noted that opportunities to compete in the 200-meter wheelchair race are rare, as the event is often eliminated from major tournaments. Though the 200-meter distance isn't his preferred racing length, Paiyaw expressed pride in adding another world record holder to Thailand's achievements.

Thanawatch Nitikanchana, president of Ratchaburi FC, posted a farewell message to veteran player Chakraphan Kaewphrom, honoring him as one of the club's greatest legends. The 38-year-old footballer is departing from Ratchaburi FC after the recent season, concluding a four-year partnership with the club. In his post, the club president lauded Chakraphan as a trusted figure and one of the team's most legendary players. The message read: "Four years ago, when this club was weakening, we needed someone to bring us hope. Then came a legend from another big club, who walked in and told us 'we can do this.' Four years have passed, and now he is walking out as one of the greatest legends of this team. Every moment we shared together—joy and sorrow, celebration and embrace, defeat, stress, and heartbreak—we always found solutions together. We spent hours on phone calls to elevate our team to the next level. Most importantly, we fought side by side. I will definitely miss fighting shoulder to shoulder with you, captain. If I am a commander-in-chief, Nott is my sword—the person we trusted, the one we were confident would lead our army to victory and bring everyone safely home. But everything has its time. Thank you Nott for these beautiful four years. You will always have a home here, and we will miss you, Captain Nott."

Remarkable: 7-Year-Old American Boy Makes History, Successfully Conquers Treacherous 3,000-Meter Cliff

14h ago Khaosod

A 7-year-old boy from Colorado created global headlines when he became the youngest person to successfully climb El Capitan, the famous granite cliff face in Yosemite National Park and one of the world's most challenging climbing destinations.

Joey Danger Evermore began his climbing attempt at age 6 and successfully reached the summit on Thursday, May 21, turning 7 during the challenging expedition. He spent a total of 6 days scaling the nearly 3,000-meter cliff face amid harsh weather conditions with strong gusts of wind, limited water and food supplies, while managing fatigue throughout the climb.

His father, Joe Evermore, revealed that Joey had to master multiple climbing techniques on his own, relying on ropes and safety equipment to ascend the rock face nearly constantly. "Joey didn't just set a record—he discovered something new about himself. I saw his confidence grow noticeably," his father said.

For this historic climb, Joey traveled with his father, two older brothers, and a documentary film crew that captured the entire event. Photos and videos released by the family show Joey fearlessly climbing the vertical cliff face thousands of meters above the ground. During climbing breaks, he and his brothers even played chess on small cliff ledges.

Warning Signs of Ovarian Cancer That Many Women Overlook Until It Spreads

Frequent bloating and persistent abdominal pain are common early warning signs of ovarian cancer that women often dismiss as minor issues until the disease advances, according to Dr. Jed Boonywongviroj from Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital. Early

14h ago Khaosod

Frequent bloating and persistent abdominal discomfort are warning signs of ovarian cancer that many women overlook, thinking symptoms will resolve on their own until the disease has already spread. Dr. Jed Boonywongviroj, Deputy Director of Primary Care at Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, posted on Facebook under the handle "Dr. Jed" to educate the public about ovarian cancer, highlighting that frequent bloating and persistent abdominal pain are ovarian cancer symptoms women commonly miss. Many women experiencing unusual symptoms assume they will pass on their own—attributing mild bloating, abdominal pain, or slight menstrual irregularities to stress, hormones, or fatigue. The alarming aspect of ovarian cancer is that it often shows no clear symptoms in early stages, and the symptoms that do appear resemble ordinary daily complaints, causing many women to delay treatment until the disease has already advanced.

1. Frequent bloating and abdominal distension, even without eating much: This symptom is commonly overlooked because women assume it's just intestinal gas or indigestion. However, if bloating occurs frequently, with easy abdominal distension, abnormal early fullness, and persists for several weeks, this should not be ignored. Masses or abnormalities in the ovaries may begin pressing on or disrupting the abdominal cavity.

2. Mild abdominal or unusual back pain: Many assume this indicates an approaching period or pain from prolonged sitting, but persistent dull pain in the lower abdomen, chronic lower abdominal pain, or unexplained back pain—especially occurring almost daily—warrants medical evaluation. Symptoms may come and go, causing many people to become accustomed to them.

3. Increased urination without increased fluid intake: If a mass or abnormality exists in the pelvic region, it may press on the bladder, causing frequent painful urination, incomplete bladder emptying, or more frequent bathroom visits without a urinary tract infection. Some women may experience increased nighttime urination, which never occurred before.

4. Early satiety and reduced food intake: Some dismiss this as beneficial for weight loss, but if you feel full after eating only a small amount and gradually eat less than usual in an abnormal way, this may signal something in the abdominal cavity is disrupting your digestive system. Combined with bloating, this persistent symptom should not be ignored for months.

5. Irregular menstruation or unusual bleeding: This doesn't mean every ovarian cancer patient experiences bleeding, but if your period becomes irregular, with sporadic bleeding, bleeding after the period ends, or significant changes in your menstrual cycle without prior occurrence, you should get checked. This is especially important for women over 40 or those experiencing noticeably irregular periods.

6. Unexplained weight loss and easy fatigue: Some people lose weight without reducing food intake or exercising, feel easily tired, weak, and lack energy. This signals your body may be experiencing inflammation or some abnormality. Don't dismiss weight loss as simply beneficial; your body may be expending energy abnormally due to hidden disease.

7. Early-stage ovarian cancer is often quieter than expected: This is what's frightening—it doesn't present a palpable mass like some diseases, and early symptoms resemble gastric, intestinal, or common hormonal issues. Many people receive wrong treatment for months or years before proper diagnosis, by which time the cancer has already progressed. This is especially true for those who dismiss minor symptoms as insignificant.

8. High-risk individuals should be especially vigilant: Particularly those with a family history of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, no children, obesity, or advanced age. This doesn't mean you'll definitely develop the disease, but you should be extra cautious, pay closer attention to your body, and not ignore persistent symptoms, including those with relevant risk factors.
