Celtic accelerated past Hearts of Midlothian in the final match of the season to capture their 56th Scottish Premier League title, surpassing Rangers' previous record of 55 championships. Heading into the match, Hearts of Midlothian led with 80 points, just one point ahead of Celtic. A draw would have made Hearts the first team in 41 years to win the league title outside of Rangers and Celtic, who have long shared supremacy.

In the final match, Hearts took an early lead through Lawrence Shankland's goal in the 43rd minute, bringing the prospect of making history closer by the minute. However, Celtic fought back decisively, scoring three consecutive goals from Arne Engels' penalty in the 45+4th minute, Daizen Maeda in the 87th minute, and Callum Osmond in the 90+8th minute.

By match's end, Celtic increased their points to 82 and claimed their 14th league title in the last 15 seasons, with only Rangers winning the championship in between during 2021. Hearts remained at 80 points, falling just short of capturing the crown. The last team outside these two powerhouses to win the championship dates back to the 1984-85 season when Aberdeen claimed the title during Sir Alex Ferguson's era.

Surin held its first grand merit-making ceremony at the sacred Khana Prasat on May 15, 2025, at 8:30 a.m., organized by Kab Choeng District officials, Naeng Moo Subdistrict Administration, and local residents following the December 2024 border conflict in which Thai troops pushed Cambodian forces out of the area.

Deputy Governor Prabhas Srijuntuaviang presided over the ceremony, which drew over 300 classical dancers and numerous visitors from both the local area and beyond. Attendees toured the Khana Prasat site located on the Phanom Dong Rak ridge along the Thai-Cambodian border south of Naeng Moo village in Kab Choeng District, Surin Province.

The Khana Prasat was discovered by Border Patrol Police Unit 216 and reported to the Fine Arts Department's Nakhon Ratchasima office, which conducted surveys in September 2001. The survey revealed a three-building brick temple with an eastern entrance, surrounded by laterite stone walls measuring approximately 39.50 meters per side. The structure shows signs of deterioration, with scattered architectural fragments including octagonal doorframe columns and carvings of three-headed elephants, seated figures, and Shiva lingams with visible Vishnu elements.

Based on archaeological evidence, Khana Prasat is believed to be a Hindu sanctuary constructed around the 15th Buddhist century—approximately 1,100 years ago—representing an important archaeological site demonstrating ancient human settlement in the Phanom Dong Rak ridge area of Lower Northeast Thailand.

Today's ceremony included merit-making at the temple and laying wreaths at a monument honoring soldiers who gave their lives protecting Khana Prasat. Local residents and visitors expressed pride in Thailand's military recovery of the site and pleasure that the Fine Arts Department has officially registered Khana Prasat as a Thai archaeological monument. Attendees photographed the area and the views overlooking the Cambodian side as souvenirs.

The director of the Railway Department led a team of officials and experts to the accident site at the Asok-Dindaeng level crossing on May 16, 2025 at 3:35 PM to investigate a severe collision between SRT freight train No. 2126 (Laem Chabang-Bang Sue Junction route) and public bus line 206. The bus was stopped on the railway tracks at the Asok-Petchburi red light intersection between Khlong Toei and Makkasan stations. The impact resulted in a severe crash with fire breaking out at the scene, killing 8 persons on the bus and injuring approximately 25 others. Emergency responders quickly provided assistance and transported the injured to hospitals.

The Airport Rail Link (ARL) Makkasan station above the accident site was affected by smoke from the fire covering its platform. For passenger safety, the station was temporarily closed and trains skipped the stop without halting until firefighters controlled the fire below. ARL service resumed normal operations at Makkasan station at 4:35 PM.

Director Pichit Kunathammarak of the Railway Department led a team of officials and experts to the scene in coordination with relevant agencies to investigate the facts, facilitate rescue operations, and instructed the State Railway of Thailand to provide full cooperation with police in gathering evidence and determining the cause of the accident.

The Ministry of Transport and Department of Land Transport have ordered thorough investigation and fact-finding regarding the level crossing accident, with the goal of implementing urgent corrective measures. The ministry expressed deep condolences to the families of the deceased and injured, and thanked rescue personnel, firefighters, police, and all responders for their swift action. The government has committed to implementing the highest safety standards for the railway transport system to ensure safe and reliable long-term rail travel.

Thailand's windsurfing team is using the 2026 IQ Foil European Championship in Portimão, Portugal (May 16-23, 2026) to test competition systems against Asian Games rivals from Japan, China, and Hong Kong, with goals of placing athletes in the gold fleet (top half rankings). The six-member Thai team—Nittipat Chaiyawutwet, Siriporn Kaewduanggam, Vachirawit Tanuap, Vachirawit Manbuamrung, Ratchananon Khunjeng, and Chanatakan Charoensouk—arrived early on May 4 for training under coaches Natthapong Potinpratton and Sakda Skulfang.

According to Pattana Bunsawat, secretary of the Thai Windsurfing Association, the team initially faced stormy weather upon arrival but subsequently conducted intensive sea training once conditions improved with moderate winds and calm waves. All Thai athletes are performing well in these conditions.

The competition serves as a critical test against Japan, China, and Hong Kong competitors ahead of the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan (September 19-October 4, 2026). The open-category athletes aim for top placements while youth competitors focus on building strength and gaining experience from international-level athletes.

Security camera footage has captured the moment a freight train struck an air-conditioned bus, numbered 12-5641 Bangkok, along with several cars and motorcycles at a railway crossing between Khlong Tan and Makkasan stations (at the Asok-Din Daeng intersection level crossing) on May 16, 2569. The collision resulted in a fire that killed 8 people and injured approximately 32 others.

The CCTV footage from the area captured the moment of impact. The footage reveals that traffic was heavily congested at the time, with multiple buses and vehicles parked across the railway tracks. The freight train arrived at precisely the same moment, colliding with the bus, cars, and motorcycles, which triggered the fire.

Related reports indicate 8 deaths in the freight train-bus collision at the Airport Link Makkasan station, with officials searching for missing persons. Dashcam footage also captured the tragic moment before the fire spread, with 10 injured and 6 confirmed dead. Additional footage from another angle shows the bus was stopped across the railway tracks with the crossing barrier not fully lowered.
