Buriram United claimed a crucial 1-0 away win against Srilangar FC in the opening leg of the SHOPEE CUP 2025/26 AFC Club Championship final. Head coach Mark Jackson expressed satisfaction with the victory, stating that he was pleased with how his team fought without yielding and closed out the match professionally, despite acknowledging there is still another match ahead that requires even greater preparation and commitment.

Jackson emphasized that his tactical approach remains straightforward, with all players giving their utmost for the club. He noted the team's demanding fixture schedule, including a 120-minute encounter with Johor Darul Takzim followed by an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday. While the squad showed signs of fatigue in the second half due to travel, Jackson praised the outstanding character and unity displayed by his players in defensive situations when facing opposition pressure.

Regarding the second leg, Jackson indicated that having a week for physical recovery is beneficial, as it will allow the team to restore their bodies and minds while maintaining the confidence gained from the away victory. He expressed confidence in the squad's ability to win every match, though acknowledging the difficulty of achieving this in a final tournament format. Jackson also welcomed the return of Guilherme Bissoli to the squad and commended Suphanat Mueantat's impactful performance in the match, noting he made a difference despite showing some fatigue toward the end.

Um Theerathorn Boonmatan, the veteran defender of Buriram United, posted a photo with teammate Bank Suphanat and shared a hilarious exchange between them during the match against Sálgngox in the AFC Champions League final.

Buriram United secured the advantage in the first leg of the final after defeating Sálgngox, a prominent Malaysian league side, 1-0 in the AFC Champions League. The winning goal came from Suphanat Hemuattana in the 24th minute.

Um posted a photo celebrating with his junior teammate following the goal, which he had assisted, with the caption: "My senior told me to dance, so I had to follow."

In the comments, Bank Suphanat replied with "555555 Done dancing, Senior Um, did I overstep?" before the 36-year-old veteran humorously shot back: "What did I even say then? I didn't even realize I was already dancing."

On May 21, 2025, Lieutenant Colonel Thongpreud Sirisukha, commander of Highway Police Division 3, ordered officers led by Colonel Suriya Puang Sambat and other senior police to conduct a raid on a health spa in Mab Yang Phro subdistrict, Pluak Daeng district, Rayong province, following complaints that the establishment was secretly engaged in prostitution while publicly advertising massage services.

Investigators found that staff members were offering special "body-to-body" massage services and explicitly proposing sexual intercourse with clients for 4,500 baht per 50-minute session. Two Vietnamese women were discovered preparing to engage in sex work. A search of the two-unit commercial building revealed that the second and third floors had been modified into over 10 service rooms equipped with beds and supplies, along with condoms and lubricant.

Eight suspects of Chinese, Myanmar, and Vietnamese nationality were arrested on charges of human trafficking, illegal immigration, and foreign worker violations. All female workers were screened under Thailand's National Referral Mechanism (NRM) for human trafficking victims, though none were found to be victims of trafficking.

Charges were filed under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act B.E. 2539, the Immigration Act B.E. 2522, and regulations governing foreign worker management.

At 12:35 p.m. on May 21, a reporter in Prachuap Khiri Khan documented a critical water hyacinth crisis choking the Prachuap River, creating stagnant conditions with severely depleted oxygen levels. Fish farmers in Ban Sai district saw their ruby fish cages decimated as oxygen-starved fish floated to the surface and died en masse, with total damages exceeding 3.9 million baht. MP Amnuay Vilavaloey from Prachuap Khiri Khan District 1 of the Bhumjaithai Party brought the urgent matter to parliament, calling on the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry to aggressively combat the water hyacinth problem and provide immediate relief to affected fish farmers.

Amnuay revealed the severity through aerial photographs showing the Prachuap River blanketed by dense mats of water hyacinth stretching for dozens of kilometers from Mueang Prachuap through Ban Sai districts. Despite provincial efforts, the massive volume of vegetation combined with privately-owned riverbanks has hindered irrigation department mechanized removal operations. High tidal conditions have worsened the situation by forcing water hyacinth further upstream into impassable blockages.

"Our people are suffering greatly, especially the fish farmers," Amnuay stated. "The fish are dying en masse because dissolved oxygen levels have plummeted to just 1.5 milligrams per liter—a critical level where aquatic life cannot survive."

Initial damage assessments identified two subdistricts and six villages in Ban Sai affected across Bang Phluwang and Bang Krachao subdistricts. The crisis has impacted 109 farmers, destroying over 2,895 square meters of fish cage area with cumulative damage reaching approximately 3,942,000 baht.

Amnuay, a five-term MP, emphasized this recurs annually, harming both raw drinking water quality and agricultural productivity while exacerbating seasonal flooding. He urged the Agriculture Minister to take decisive action based on the late King Rama IX's wisdom that "water is life," to restore vitality to both farmers and the Prachuap River.

Governor Veeraphun Deeawn has already mobilized emergency responses and ordered Ban Sai district to compile damage reports to declare the area a disaster zone for emergency fund allocation to compensate affected farmers.
