On May 3, 2025, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, following directives from Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchathip Chumklin and National Parks Department Director Arthapol Charounchansa, has escalated anti-poaching operations and expanded charges against the offroad vehicle owner suspected of involvement in illegal gaur hunting in Ban Mae Khame Bon.

Nitisat Nunsong, Director of Conservation Area Management Division 3 at the Phetchaburi branch, revealed that Mongkol Chaiaphakdi, Chief of Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, reported progress on the case. Illegal wildlife hunting triggered a forest fire that damaged over 10,000 acres. On May 1, authorities filed charges against "Mister Mud," also known as Sithiphon, under Section 19(6) of the National Parks Act B.E. 2562. Evidence from camera trap footage showed the suspect's offroad vehicle entering Ban Mae Khame Bon community area at the time of the illegal gaur hunt.

On May 2, park officials coordinated with the Department of Interior and executed a court-issued search warrant at a residence in Moo 4, Yang Nam Klat Tai subdistrict. The search recovered an illegally-held chainsaw, which was seized and documented as crucial evidence for prosecution.

Nitisat emphasized that the Conservation Area Management Division 3 will enforce the law with maximum rigor as directed by ministry leadership, particularly targeting those who exploit forest resources, causing ecological damage and contributing to the wildfire crisis.

A 55-year-old man in China visited a doctor concerned about lower back pain, fatigue, and frequent nighttime urination, suspecting it was caused by his frequent sexual activity during his youth—more than 10 times per month. However, medical experts clarify this is a misconception. Dr. Guo Kai, vice head of the urology department at Zhujiang Hospital (Southern Medical University, China), explains that the kidney's function is to filter waste from blood and regulate water and mineral balance, while sexual activity primarily involves the cardiovascular, nervous, and hormonal systems—not the kidney directly.

Fatigue, back pain, or exhaustion after frequent sexual activity typically result from overall physical exhaustion, not direct kidney damage, especially when combined with insufficient sleep, alcohol consumption, or dehydration. For those in good health, appropriate sexual activity does not cause kidney deterioration.

Doctors warn that kidney damage develops gradually through accumulated daily habits rather than from a single incident. Six behaviors that damage kidneys include:

1. Regularly holding in urine—causes bladder tension and increases risk of bacterial infections and kidney inflammation 2. Eating too much salt and protein—increases blood pressure and strains kidney function 3. Drinking insufficient water or only when thirsty—concentrated urine increases risk of kidney stones and urinary tract infections; aim for 1,500-2,000 milliliters daily 4. Staying up late regularly—disrupts the kidney's nighttime regeneration cycle and damages small blood vessels 5. Regularly drinking alcohol and smoking—increases uric acid levels and damages blood vessels, accelerating kidney deterioration 6. Taking unnecessary medications and supplements—can strain kidneys excessively and increase acute kidney failure risk

Doctors emphasize that kidney health maintenance doesn't require extreme measures, but rather avoiding these harmful daily habits.

Close friends know better than the internet! Best Kamsing opens up about people crediting her fame to her father, saying she's proud to stand by him, declaring that if he fought this hard and is this skilled, she would gladly stick with him forever. This post is inspirational for everyone—pay no attention to what others say because they didn't raise you.

Best Kamsing posted a video of her father Somluck Kamsing demonstrating intense Muay Thai techniques with devastating combinations and powerful attacks against opponents, including punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and legendary evasion skills, along with a caption expressing her profound pride in her father.

"I woke up this morning and saw this video on my feed, so I wanted to share something. Some people like to say I'm famous because I'm riding on my dad's coattails (people on the internet don't know you like the people close to you do). I didn't feel anything about it back then, and I understand it. But I want to say that with the way he fought, with how skilled he is, I would gladly stay by his side forever."

"Because I'm incredibly proud of him, and watching this video just shows me how hard he fought before I was even born. This post is meant to inspire everyone. Don't pay attention to what others say—they didn't raise you. @somluckkamsing"

Comments from entertainment figures poured in with applause and admiration for Somluck Kamsing, a Thai legend, all echoing the same sentiment: fighting spirit, true skill is no joke, with comments like 'fighter's blood,' 'true skill is no joke,' and more.

The Democrat Party has secured a Bangkok governor candidate and plans to introduce the pick alongside all 50 Bangkok Metropolitan Council candidates in mid-May. On May 3, Sakolthee Phattiyakul, the party's list MP and deputy leader overseeing Bangkok operations, revealed that while the party has identified its gubernatorial candidate, the identity cannot yet be disclosed due to pending procedural steps. "I can confirm we have a Bangkok governor candidate ready, but there are still some processes to complete," Sakolthee said. "I can only tell you it's a male candidate, but I really cannot say who or their background right now." Sakolthee added that the party has finalized all 50 district council candidates. The party's administrative board will approve remaining candidates on May 5, followed by a meeting with all 50 district candidates on May 11 at party headquarters for briefing and alignment. The formal launch of all candidates is planned for mid-May onward to allow time for policy preparation and other details. Regarding whether a deputy governor team will be introduced simultaneously, Sakolthee indicated the team will be rolled out gradually rather than all at once. When asked about campaign activities, Sakolthee confirmed the party is conducting activities but will proceed when fully prepared, as other parties have already begun their campaigns.

Koh Pha Ngan raid exposes illegal school, unregistered foreign teachersLegacyA Koh Pha Ngan childcare centre was raided on May 1 after officials found it was allegedly operating outside the scope of its licence with unregistered foreign teachers and 163 children enrolled. Surat Thani Immigration police, Koh Pha Ngan police, district officials, and Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 officers inspected the property. The centre was licensed as a childcare facility operated by a juristic person for children aged two to six, with a limit of 18 children. However, the site was found operating as a non-formal school, with four classroom levels, teaching children from nursery age up to 12 years old. Photo via Matichon The school reportedly ran three terms per year and charged tuition of 32,000 baht per child per term. Officials found that the centre issued certificates to children who completed its courses, but staff could not show a licence to operate a non-formal school. A total of 163 children were found enrolled at the site. Thairath reported that the group included 89 foreign children aged two to 12, most of them Israeli nationals. Police arrested nine people, including three listed as owners or employers and six foreign teachers. Photo via Matichon The owners and employers were one Thai woman and two Iranian nationals. They were charged with employing foreigners without work permits, failing to report foreign workers within 15 days, breaching childcare centre rules, and operating a private non-formal school without permission. The six teachers were from the United States, South Africa, and France. They were charged with working without permits and failing to report their employer, workplace, and job duties within 15 days of starting work. All nine suspects were handed to Koh Pha Ngan police for legal proceedings. Photo via Thairath Surat Thani police also ordered an investigation into the company’s shareholder structure. Investigators found that the company had four Thai shareholders and three foreign shareholders from Iran and Estonia. The structure raised suspicion that Thai shareholders may have been used as nominees to conceal foreign-run business activity in the tourist area. In a similar case, a special operations unit conducted a raid on Koh Pha Ngan, apprehending a group of foreigners from Russia, Ukraine, and Myanmar involved in operating an illegal childcare centre. The story Koh Pha Ngan raid exposes illegal school, unregistered foreign teachers as seen on Thaiger News.

A 40-year-old South Korean man is facing up to 5 years in prison after creating an AI image of a wolf walking through a city, which triggered a major search operation before authorities discovered the entire thing was fabricated.

AI-generated images have become increasingly popular worldwide, ranging from obviously crude creations to photorealistic images indistinguishable from real photographs. Millions of people now use these tools daily, and although platforms have safety controls in place, they cannot prevent all unexpected consequences.

The latest case to become a major issue involves an image of a wolf appearing to walk down a city street that spread rapidly online. Despite seeming harmless, it sparked significant chaos in Daejeon, South Korea.

On April 8th, South Korean media reported that a wolf named Nuk-gu had escaped from Daejeon Zoo, with reports and photos claiming sightings within the city, prompting urgent official response.

However, it was later discovered that the circulated online image was "not real" but had been generated by AI through user commands, significantly complicating the situation beyond expectations.

South Korean authorities revealed that this single AI image delayed the wolf capture operation by as long as 9 days and required mobilizing large numbers of police and fire units, impacting core public safety operations.

Concerned the wolf might still be hiding in the city, authorities closed several elementary schools and deployed special emergency units for thorough area inspections to protect residents from potential danger.

As the investigation continued, authorities confirmed the image causing all the panic was indeed an AI fake, resulting in unnecessary diversions of operations and damage to emergency management.

Eventually, officials did locate Nuk-gu in the Daejeon suburbs, but significantly later than should have been the case. The 40-year-old AI image creator claimed he made it "for fun" and now faces potential prosecution and imprisonment of up to 5 years.
