Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Interior Minister held a press conference at Government House on May 15, 2025, announcing the "Entrepreneurs Speak, Government Listens" event, which brought together more than 34 senior executives and representatives from 10 key industry sectors to share their insights with the government.

The primary objective of the forum was to give business owners a platform to voice their opinions and offer recommendations to policymakers. The government pledged to carefully review all proposals and suggestions with the aim of removing unnecessary business restrictions and facilitating economic growth that benefits both the public and the nation.

When asked how the government would follow up on business input, the Prime Minister stated that the administration wants to understand the business sector's current situation, expectations, and specific proposals they need government support for—whether to expand operations, generate revenue, increase employment, or build economic prosperity.

The PM emphasized that he has directed all government agencies to work collaboratively in driving the economy forward, with the government playing a crucial supporting role for the private sector. He noted that implementing policies without consulting entrepreneurs first may not align with actual business needs. Therefore, the government invited business leaders—most of whom already have working relationships with government—to engage in frank discussions, as the government has a responsibility to strengthen the economic system and ensure it operates effectively, sustainably, and with long-term potential.

A 63-year-old man woke up experiencing severe vertigo, feeling as though the world was spinning, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, unsteadiness, and noticeable hearing loss in his right ear. Initially believing it was merely an inner ear disorder, he rested at home, but when his condition did not improve, he rushed to the hospital. Tests revealed he actually had "posterior cerebral artery stenosis" affecting the cerebellum region.

Dr. Li Swinhwa, head of the neurology department at Taipei Medical University Hospital, explained that posterior cerebral artery disease typically presents with vertigo as the primary symptom. Since blood vessels supplying the cerebellum and inner ear are interconnected, blockages can cause dizziness, hearing loss, and nausea simultaneously, which is often mistaken for sudden hearing loss or vestibular neuritis.

Beyond vertigo, this patient also exhibited trunk tilting while sitting, inability to point accurately with his hands, and slight facial numbness—all signs of central nervous system abnormalities. Further examination confirmed acute ischemia in his right cerebellum.

Dr. Li noted that when experiencing vertigo, many people first suspect inner ear disease, as this patient did. However, with preexisting conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes that were poorly controlled, he fell into the high-risk group for cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, sudden severe vertigo should not be dismissed as a common ear condition.

Fortunately, the patient received prompt treatment with antiplatelet medication and intravenous fluids, followed by physical rehabilitation. His condition improved significantly within weeks, his gait stabilized, and he returned to near-normal daily functioning.

Doctors further explained that most vertigo cases are non-serious and treatable with medication, vestibular rehabilitation, or inner ear repositioning maneuvers. However, some cases involve serious conditions like stroke or brain tumors, requiring detailed history-taking, neurological examination, and possibly CT scans or MRI for confirmation.

Dr. Li warned that if vertigo accompanies any of the following danger signs, immediate medical attention is crucial:

- Vertigo that does not improve or worsens progressively - Unsteady gait or weakness in one arm or leg - Double vision, blurred vision, or slurred speech - Severe headache, especially described as "the worst headache of my life" - Presence of cerebrovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or atrial fibrillation

Doctors emphasize that while vertigo does not always indicate serious illness, if symptoms persist and are accompanied by neurological abnormalities, patients should not delay seeking medical evaluation from a physician as soon as possible.

A past incident involving Sai Scott has been a significant hardship for him and has deeply affected everyone following the news, with many offering support through various channels.

A language-focused page has provided interesting information about Sai's name and the word 'sai' (sand). The page explains: "Those who follow Sai Scott's Instagram will notice his name is written as psiscott, which is a unique and distinctive name. Typically, people named Sai write it in Latin characters as 'Sai,' but when you look at how 'psi' sounds, it reads as 'sai,' which matches the Thai word 'sai' (sand)."

The term 'psi' refers to the Greek letter Ψ ψ, which looks like a trident or fork. In ancient Greek, it was pronounced as ψεῖ /psêː/ ('pseh'), while in modern Greek it's pronounced ψι /psi/ ('psi'). In Greek, the 'ps' combination is read together as 'ps'. However, when English borrowed the Greek letter ψ, speakers couldn't pronounce the 'ps' cluster together, so they simply dropped the 'p' and pronounced it as /saɪ/ ('sai'), as used in science and physics.

In English, the vowel combination /aɪ/ doesn't distinguish between short and long sounds, so 'psi' can be pronounced as 'sai' with a longer vowel sound, much like the letter π (pi), which people pronounce as both 'pi' and 'pie'.

The origin of the name 'psi' comes from his father, who loves the sea. He chose the name based on the Greek letter ψ because its shape resembles Poseidon's trident, the god of the sea, and it also sounds like 'sai,' which is associated with the sea.

World No. 7 singles badminton player Mae Rachanok Intanon spoke following her elimination from the 2026 Thailand Open after losing to Japanese shuttler Hina Akeshi. The 31-year-old Thai player fell to world No. 28 Akeshi in straight sets, 13-21 and 21-16, ending her run in the semifinals.

After the match, Mae gave an interview acknowledging her defeat was due to her opponent's superior speed and well-prepared game strategy. "I'm usually the one controlling the game, but today I have to admit that her speed, timing, and technique were superior. Meeting her for the first time also played a role. I wasn't in as good condition as her, and her play style was much tighter. She aimed for areas where my knee injury concerned me, which affected my shot quality. Eventually she got bolder with her timing. My knee injury requires considerable recovery time, and I'm currently undergoing treatment while working on my fitness. Competing here gave me confidence that I still belong on this stage, and I'm happy to be playing. Facing real match situations reminds me I need to take better care of myself and regain my fitness."

Mae also reflected on her 18-year history competing in the Thailand Open, hinting she'll return next year. "I'm surprised I've been playing this for 18 years already. If you count it, I was 14 or 15 when I started—a very long time. Some fans joke that I'm still young, but my knee definitely isn't young anymore. I wanted to share Mae's story today. I'm not here to set records for competition frequency; I know my body's limits. I'd rather focus on my own journey. I hope next year I can do better than this year."

During an urgent parliamentary session at 3:50 PM on May 15, 2025, Prissadang Wachrasinthuwong, a Pheu Thai party list MP, raised three critical points questioning explanations provided by Deputy Prime Minister Pharadhorn Parisananathakul regarding the constitutional amendment process.

First, Prissadang disputed claims that the government lacks justification for not endorsing the original draft due to unresolved second agenda issues. He argued that if the Cabinet endorsed the draft and appointed a committee to review it, discussions would occur regardless, and he would monitor whether Bhumjaithai's proposal next week could resolve one of three contentious issues within the Senate.

Second, he challenged the government's claim of establishing transparent procedures for law endorsements through inquiries to bill proposers. Investigations revealed no such process existed for bills submitted by MPs. When requesting reasons from the Prime Minister's Office Secretary-General (OSMPC) regarding the Cabinet's endorsement criteria, the office refused to provide information until the official opposition committee was established.

Third, regarding the Cabinet's two rounds of law endorsements claimed as systematic planning, Prissadang labeled this "trial-and-error work." He emphasized that if the Cabinet submits a new constitutional draft under its own name, it would guarantee that the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers take responsibility for completing and passing this agenda through parliament, unlike merely having Bhumjaithai propose it independently despite their 170-member parliamentary strength.
