A man's purchase of online hair dye resulted in a severe allergic reaction that left his scalp festering with yellow fluid discharge and facial swelling. After posting about his experience on Facebook, describing the itching, fluid leakage, and hair loss he experienced, the post went viral with thousands of likes, comments, and shares. On May 13, 2025, reporters contacted the man, identified as Nai Kai, 44, from Muang District in Ratchaburi Province, who owns a fish rice soup restaurant in Ratchaburi Municipality. Nai Kai still needed to wrap his head with white gauze due to continuous yellow fluid seepage.

Nai Kai explained that he purchased the hair dye from a popular app that advertised it as made from natural extracts at an affordable price. On May 9, he applied the dye for approximately five minutes, coloring only the hair roots at the front and temple areas. "When I woke up the next morning, my face felt tight and I noticed yellow fluid oozing out," he recounted. He initially thought it was a typical allergic reaction and bought medicine to take and washed his hair with children's shampoo, but the symptoms worsened and his face began to swell.

After visiting a doctor, Nai Kai requested a medical certificate but the doctor was unable to provide one because the specific allergen was unknown. The product packaging contained no Thai language labeling. Following advice from friends, he filed a report with the Muang Ratchaburi Public Health Office, which discovered the hair dye brand had no official product registration. When Nai Kai contacted the Facebook seller and showed photos of his severe reaction, the seller went silent. He now urges consumers to carefully verify reviews and check credentials before purchasing products advertised as natural extracts, as he admits having no prior knowledge of such matters. He was fortunate the dye did not contact his eyes.

At 12:30 p.m. on May 13, 2025, Pheu Thai list MP Phakamon Nunanon and party spokesman discussed Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's planned visit to Freedom Beach in Phuket, an area currently plagued by influential figures intimidating party MPs investigating flooding issues. The spokesman noted disappointment that a previous visit was cancelled without clear explanation, but expressed hope that this time the PM will genuinely listen to MPs and demonstrate courage in addressing the underlying problem—as ordinary citizens do not typically threaten investigating MPs without powerful backers pulling strings.

The spokesman urged the Prime Minister to face reality head-on and sincerely hear Pheu Thai's concerns without bias, rather than treating the visit as damage control or mere spectacle. Regarding the planned mobile cabinet meeting in Hat Yai in early June, the spokesman praised the initiative but stressed the need for genuine economic recovery measures—not just handouts or vote-buying schemes.

Six months after devastating floods, Hat Yai residents still await meaningful relief despite government claims. The city's current survival depends entirely on government-led reconstruction and comprehensive stimulus efforts. As the monsoon season approaches, residents fear another flooding disaster, demanding swift and substantive action from the government rather than temporary measures.

This article explores several highly-regarded Buddhist amulet coins created by respected monks across Thailand. It begins with a quote about meditation from Luang Pho Cha Subhadto of Wat Nong Pa Pong in Ubon Ratchathani, then details amulets from Luang Pho Pan Akkhabanyo, the former abbot of Wat Mongkol Kodthawat in Samut Prakan, whose amulets remain popular across generations. The article describes a 1979 coin featuring a seated meditation figure, created by Phra Kru Mongkol Phiphatthan to commemorate the construction of a meditation hall.

The article also covers amulets by Luang Pu Jai Inthasuvanno of Wat Sedet in Samut Songkhram, who created the "Sugarcane Water Coins" or "Noble Truths Coins" around 1946-1947, featuring lotus blossoms and Khmer script. These distinctive coins are noted for lacking the typical monk's name, temple, and date inscriptions, making them relatively unknown outside serious amulet collectors.

Additional sections describe coins by Luang Pu Ma Janavaro, the former abbot of Wat Santiwiwek in Roi Et, whose first-edition portrait coins from 1974 are highly popular, and Luang Pu Songkhro Kanthadhammo of Wat Ban Sai in Lopburi, who created numbered and coded prosperity coins in the third quarter of 2014 as fundraising items for temple maintenance.

J&T Express experiences 60% surge in shipments, plans 15 dedicated durian delivery routes, deploys over 100 backup trucks, and extends distribution center hours until midnight.

Global Jet Express (Thailand) Limited, operating as J&T Express, reports that 2569 is a golden year for Thai durian. The company forecasts total production this year will reach approximately 1.89 million tons, a 21.4% increase compared to the previous year.

Chanthaburi province, the country's primary durian-producing region, accounts for over 60% of national output, creating bustling harvest activity throughout the area. While Thai durian traditionally relied on export markets, the government now actively promotes domestic consumption, creating a market structure of 70% export and 30% domestic sales to absorb the increased production. The government has implemented continuous support measures to drive strong growth in Thailand's durian industry.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, together with the Ministry of Commerce, are driving fruit management initiatives for 2569 through eight proactive measures to boost domestic consumption to 550,000 tons.

The Ministry of Commerce has signed a cooperation agreement with TikTok platform and allocated over 6.5 million baht to support over 20,000 small and medium local entrepreneurs entering the digital market.

Since mid-April, J&T Express has seen rapid increases in durian shipments in the Eastern Region, particularly from Chanthaburi and Rayong provinces. During April 15-30, durian shipments from Chanthaburi increased by 60% compared to the same period last year.

"To support the peak season for Monthong durian sales between late May and June, the company has planned 15 dedicated durian delivery routes in the Eastern Region, prepared over 100 backup trucks, and extended distribution center closing time to midnight to fully meet increased transportation demand."

Thailand is comprehensively accelerating support for the durian industry throughout the supply chain. In production, the government promotes good agricultural practices coupled with quality control centers to upgrade standards from cultivation. In processing, the government supports deep-processing industry development through value-added products such as frozen durian and durian-processed goods to increase product value, expand distribution channels, and mitigate market volatility impacts.

On the market side, Thailand maintains strength in major export markets like China while seriously pushing domestic market expansion to efficiently and sustainably balance supply and demand.

Critically, the logistics system has transformed from a traditional transportation supporter into a key mechanism balancing domestic and international supply and demand, serving as the main driver elevating industry potential. Logistics not only removes cross-border export constraints, allowing Thai durian to access global markets smoothly, but also strengthens domestic distribution networks to support expanding consumption trends.
