A teacher was moved to action when she discovered three children aged 7-12 sitting rigidly with their backs turned to their quarreling parents. Teacher Suphawadee, known as Teacher Gook, 29, recounted the incident that occurred on May 15 at approximately 3:30 p.m. while she was returning from teaching at a school in Chaiyaphum province. She heard loud arguing at a nearby shop and initially thought it was joking, but when the shopkeeper mentioned such incidents happened regularly—sometimes with people knocking on the door for help between 4-5 p.m.—she realized it was serious. She grabbed her phone to record for protection and approached the scene, where she found the three children frozen in fear. Recognizing one child as a former student, she called out and the child came to her, eventually convincing all three to step outside away from the conflict.

Teacher Gook explained that she posted the video on social media because she wanted to prevent domestic violence from being normalized, noting that children absorb these behaviors and it becomes the foundation of their development. She emphasized that family institutions are crucial and that what children witness shapes who they become. She warned parents not to use violence in their homes, as today's children will become the nation's future leaders. After that day, she found the house closed and never saw the children at school again, hearing they may have moved to Bangkok with their mother.

Teeraphatt Prue Thong has revealed that his first senior call-up to the Thai national team is the fulfillment of his highest dream, but he views it as just the beginning of his journey. The footballer has performed impressively with Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo in Japan's J2 League, appearing in nine special season matches with one goal and four assists, helping his team secure second place in the zone. He has now been selected for Thailand's senior national team for the first time for June's FIFA international window, where Thailand will warm up against Kuwait and China.

The Thai national team star said: "I'm delighted to be selected for the senior national team because it's been my dream. I'm not sure how quickly this came, but I've worked hard to perform well. As for age, I don't think it matters—we just have to prove ourselves on the pitch."

"My expectations for this camp aren't high; I just want to give my all. If I get the chance, I have to make it count. Coming to Japan, I have seniors like Check Suvichuk Saraisat here with me, which makes adaptation much easier than going somewhere with no Thai people. Plus, Mew (Narusan Chumpali) is here as an interpreter, guiding me both on and off the pitch, taking care of everything. We talk constantly, which helps me feel relaxed and at home."

"I still think there are many areas I need to develop. I don't think I'm playing well enough yet, and after every match I review my performance to see where I went wrong. Everything feels like a dream right now—playing in Japan, being selected for the Thai national team. But seeing that we're still in the J2 League, I think this is just the beginning. I want to reach the J League. My hunger is still completely there. My main focus is playing football."

"I want to thank all the fans for supporting me, and all Thais living in Japan. Thank you for cheering me on, and please give me your support."

Thailand's warm-up matches during June's FIFA international window consist of two matches: June 5 at 7:30 PM against Kuwait (ranked 134th globally) at True Bli Stadium, with tickets available at https://bit.ly/3R8o5bn, and June 9 against China at Huanglong Sports Center, broadcast on Channel 32.

Police raid and arrest a fuel truck driver caught red-handed siphoning company diesel into gallon containers for resale at discounted prices. Officers are expanding the investigation to identify additional network members involved in the scheme.

May 19, 2025 — Lt. Col. Natthai Mongput, commander of Region 4's Fuel Crime Prevention Unit, led a coordinated raid with Region 4 officers and Ban Pai Police to apprehend a fuel truck driver and his accomplices while transferring diesel in a secluded forest area behind a highway rest stop in Khon Kaen province.

When police arrived and identified themselves, the three suspects—caught mid-transfer with hoses running from the truck to gallons—were startled. The suspects are Chinnarat ("Kan"), 38, a fuel truck driver; Bunlam ("Sek"), 38, a truck driver employed by a fuel buyer; and Suriyan, 39, an employee of the buyer. Police discovered 6 containers of transferred diesel (approximately 108 liters), 23 empty containers, the fuel truck, a pickup truck, a motorcycle with sidecar, mobile phones, and cash at the scene.

During initial questioning, the truck driver confessed to arranging diesel sales via phone with a middleman at 500 baht per 18-liter gallon. The middleman sent two associates with containers and a truck to collect the fuel, with plans to pay in cash later. The driver admitted to stealing fuel from this location twice before, making this the third occasion. The other two suspects initially denied involvement but later confessed to following the middleman's orders to assist with the transfer, stating they intended to use the diesel to refuel the buyer's commercial trucks.

Lt. Col. Natthai Mongput revealed that a prominent fuel transport company in Mukdahan province had noticed suspicious behavior and financial discrepancies with the truck driver. After close monitoring confirmed the driver was siphoning and reselling company fuel without authorization, the company alerted the Fuel Crime Prevention Unit and Special Operations Division, leading to today's raid. Police have filed charges and are expanding the investigation to identify the middleman and other buyers in the network.
