House Speaker Sophon Saram addressed the opposition Democratic Party's urgent motion to establish a special committee to oversee the 400-billion-baht loan decree, stating that the matter is currently pending a Constitutional Court ruling on a petition filed by opposition parties. The court has a 60-day window to decide. "The legislature will consider action once the court sends back its ruling," Sophon said, noting that the administration has not yet used the funds and rushing the oversight process would be inappropriate timing. He emphasized that while expedited scrutiny of public spending is important, it must proceed at the right moment without obstruction. Sophon also mentioned that multiple political parties are expected to submit additional constitutional amendment drafts next week, with consideration likely in June.

Actress Baitoey Suwapitch took a break from her son Brother Chan to attend the "EVEANDBOY BEST SELLING AWARDS 2025" at One Bangkok, where she updated fans on her 13-month-old son's development. She described Chan as being in an active learning phase, developing strong speech abilities and memory skills, constantly pointing at things and attempting to repeat words after his parents.

Speaking about her son's growth, Baitoey explained that Chan is developing on schedule with excellent communication skills and curiosity about his surroundings. She noted that at 10 kilograms, he's become heavy enough that family members need to take turns holding him. She shared that her husband Pap has become very involved in parenting, now treating father and son equally with his work responsibilities.

Describing their first trip to Japan as a family, Baitoey called it both fun and challenging. She and Pap had to abandon their original plans and prioritize their son's needs, including dealing with jet lag and bedtime adjustments. Despite the difficulties, she felt it was worthwhile when she saw Chan experiencing new sights and sounds with wonder in his eyes.

When asked about jet lag challenges, she revealed that the two-hour time difference caused Chan to have delayed sleepiness and crying fits at night. The parents barely slept during their 6-7 day trip, constantly switching caretaking duties. Baitoey suggested they might wait a bit longer before turning into a full-time travel family, noting that Chan still needs further physical development and might feel uncomfortable with too much travel.

When asked if they might be bringing back a Japanese younger sibling, Baitoey didn't complete her response, but she had already stated earlier that she currently has no plans for a second child, wanting to devote her full time and energy to raising Chan.

Bangkok, May 21, 2026 — Pakkapol Gamlaksana, Chief Operating Officer of Charoen Pokphand Group, joined by his mother Jiraphaa Gamlaksana and wife Nathaphan Luangviriya, has continued the spirit of sharing and social contribution by donating 35,087,992.29 baht to Chulalongkorn Hospital of the Thai Red Cross Society to support medical and patient care services. The donation was received by Associate Professor Dr. Nucha Jirakalpawasan, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs at Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine, and Associate Professor Dr. Gaviruch Tantivongse, Vice Dean for Physical Systems, on behalf of the hospital.

Chulalongkorn Hospital of the Thai Red Cross Society stands as a premier medical institution in Thailand and serves as a crucial resource for people of all walks of life. Each year, the hospital treats large numbers of low-income patients, as well as monks and novices from across the country. This support plays a vital role in easing the hospital's burden and strengthening its capacity to provide more efficient patient care.

The donation is divided into two main components: First, establishing the "Pakkapol Gamlaksana and Family" fund worth 30 million baht to assist low-income patients, including attendants of disabled monks and novices receiving treatment at Chulalongkorn Hospital, ensuring equitable access to medical care. Second, contributing 5,087,992.29 baht from a wedding celebration to support the Hematology Clinic in the Bhumisoril Mangclanusorn Building, to procure medical equipment, improve facilities, and enhance the quality of care for blood and hematological disorders, which continue to rise in prevalence.

This donation represents another powerful act of sharing that supports Chulalongkorn Hospital's important mission to strengthen Thailand's public health system and provide quality medical treatment accessible and timely to all patients, while alleviating suffering for the underprivileged. This aligns with the hospital's commitment to sustainably improve the quality of life and health of Thai people.

Chai Nat – The Chao Phraya River Water Supply and Maintenance Project in Saraphi District, Chai Nat Province has mobilized water hyacinth removal boats, extended-boom backhoes, and various machinery to urgently collect tens of thousands of water hyacinths, weeds, and accumulated garbage in the area upstream of the Chao Phraya Dam. The operation aims to open water channels and prevent obstructions to the drainage system, implementing the Royal Irrigation Department's nine-point strategic plan to prepare for the 2025 monsoon season and ensure irrigation systems operate at full capacity before the flooding period begins.

Thalerngkitти Suwannachat, director of the Chao Phraya River Water Supply and Maintenance Project, explained that removing water hyacinths and weeds from the dam area is an annual routine task, particularly as the rainy season approaches when water hyacinth accumulation becomes denser than normal. The dam has therefore mobilized machinery for urgent collection and increased collection points to prevent these plants from obstructing or damaging water drainage structures. If left unmanaged, they could significantly impact water management during mid-monsoon or flooding periods.

Regarding overall water conditions in the Chao Phraya Basin this year, meteorological agencies forecast that Thailand may face scattered rainfall and possible El Niño effects in some periods. The Royal Irrigation Department has prepared contingency measures and comprehensive water management plans. Current water reserves in major dams, including Bhumibol and Sirikit Dams, remain adequate to meet the needs of all water users throughout the country.

On May 21, 2569, police from Chulaphon Station, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, responded to a homicide report at a residential home in Na Moh Bun subdistrict, Chulaphon district. Officers discovered the body of 33-year-old Aek lying face-down inside the house, shirtless and wearing gray shorts, with a large knife in hand. The body bore gunshot wounds to the face.

Investigators learned that Aek had a history of drug addiction and had quarreled with both his 66-year-old mother and his 44-year-old brother, Chai. When their mother called for help, Chai rushed home from Tung Song district, where he runs a clothing manufacturing and sales business. Arriving at the scene, he found Aek wielding a large knife and about to attack their mother. Acting in shock and desperation, Chai shot Aek fatally in the face before fleeing.

Police tracked down Chai and arrested him at his residence in Pak Phraek subdistrict, Tung Song district, recovering the firearm used in the incident. During interrogation, Chai explained that their mother had called him in distress, warning that Aek would harm her. Chai stated his younger brother had a longstanding drug problem and frequently became violent, attacking both their mother and household members. Despite previous attempts to get Aek treatment, he returned to drug use after each rehabilitation attempt. Chai believed that without his intervention, their mother would have been fatally stabbed.
