The relationship between Ice Atthichanan Srisweak and Big Nattharatchai Charismass has become the talk of the town after fans directly questioned them about their status. Big answered straightforwardly, saying "we're already a couple," marking the first clear confirmation and sending fans into a frenzy.

Recalling earlier events, late last year Chap Warakorn Sawasakorn announced the end of his relationship with Ice after over three years of dating, emphasizing there was no third party involved but rather incompatible life goals. Despite the breakup, they still have good feelings for each other and maintain distant contact, with Chap stating he didn't want them dwelling in sadness and supporting them to move on when appropriate.

Meanwhile, Big recently closed the chapter on a seven-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend in April before starting fresh with Ice. He jokingly added, "Otherwise she wouldn't let me get close."

Ice herself addressed the criticism about moving on too quickly, saying "it's not that fast," while Big added that after going through such difficult times, the emotional pain was considerable.

4 May Khaosod

At 10:00 AM on May 4, 2025, at the Samut Sakhon Provincial Police Headquarters, Senior Police Colonel Pisit Tanprasoert, commander of Region 7 Police, announced the arrest of Rathhanin (alias 'Jok'), 35, and Nontakorn (alias 'Khao'), 34, based on a Samut Sakhon Provincial Court arrest warrant. The suspects face charges of armed nighttime robbery using vehicles and weapons, possession of illegal firearms, and transporting firearms in public without justification.

The incident began on May 1, 2025, at 7:50 PM, when Jok entered Yaowarat Gold Shop inside a department store in Kokkham Subdistrict, Mueang Samut Sakhon, dressed as a motorcycle courier. He brandished a fake pistol to threaten employees, jumped over a glass counter, and took off with gold ornaments worth 16 baht. He then abandoned a Honda Click motorcycle nearby and fled in a red Suzuki sedan driven by Khao.

Police tracked the pair through Nakhon Sawan and Nan provinces, apprehending both suspects within 36 hours. Khao initially confessed but later recanted during formal questioning, though police say they have sufficient evidence. According to Jok's statement, Khao meticulously planned the robbery, conducting surveillance 3-4 days in advance, purchasing a second-hand motorcycle, acquiring a fake gun and courier uniform, and serving as the getaway driver. Khao has prior convictions for theft of nearly 300 baht in gold jewelry in Nan Province and several other offenses.

Nattachon Clarifies LINE Group Exit, Denies Resentment Over Failed Committee Chair Bid

MP Nattachon Srikokeuea of Songkhla clarified his exit from party LINE groups was due to a prior agreement on committee assignments, not resentment over a failed chairmanship bid. He said the departure has led to increased assignments and o

4 May Khaosod

At 12:40 p.m. on May 4, 2025, at Phum Jai Thai Party headquarters, MP Nattachon Srikokeuea of Songkhla explained that he manages approximately 1,000 LINE accounts and had exited multiple party groups, including MP batches 25 and 26, as well as the original Southern region MP group. He acknowledged accidentally sending messages to wrong groups due to the high number of chats, but stressed this was not motivated by disappointment—it was a prior agreement regarding committee assignments.

Following his exit, party procedures took over rather than direct intervention from the Prime Minister or party secretary. The opposition coordination committee investigated his departure and subsequently invited him back to the groups with no other complications. "I can confirm there's no resentment because we had an agreement beforehand," Nattachon stated. "As a politician, we shouldn't just protect our own image or reputation—we must look after our own well-being. This is political philosophy. Whether we get a position depends on the party executive board, and there are many other tasks to handle."

Nattachon revealed that since leaving the LINE group, he has received more assignments from party executives, party leadership, and the opposition coordination committee for parliamentary coordination and extra-parliamentary work. "The LINE departure turned out to be a good opportunity to contribute more to the party," he explained. When asked about specific promises for future positions, he said there were none yet, but he expects to focus on pending legislation regarding loans and the 2025 budget, particularly the Land Bridge project which significantly affects the Southern region.

Entertainment Scoop – 'Ben-Jeda' Team Up for Detective Action Comedy in 'Cruel Love Song'

Channel 7HD is launching a new action-comedy-drama series titled "Cruel Love Song" featuring Ben Santirat Kulnaphakiatti and Jeda Sranya Chunjaisathit in their first on-screen pairing. The story follows Poona, an aspiring singer sent to infiltrate a music label to uncover her parents' deaths, and Chaiya, a detective undercover investigating the same case, as their mission creates unexpected romance amid mounting obstacles. The series airs Monday through Friday at 7:00 PM on Channel 7HD.

4 May Khaosod

Channel 7HD presents a new action-drama-comedy series "Cruel Love Song" from Gold CP.G Entertainment, based on a story by Khon Nam Khem with television adaptation by Phukhao. The series is directed by and stars Ekkachai Rungsiroj Pantpeng alongside leading man Ben Santirat Kulnaphakiatti, who plays 'Chaiya,' a skilled young detective. This marks his first on-screen pairing with actress Jeda Sranya Chunjaisathit, who portrays 'Poona,' a beautiful aspiring singer. The supporting cast includes Ris Wichyapong Iamsaad as Manas, Mint Phortiva Sakharchun as Maria, Pul Poolpat Atthapassyapol as Sorrak, and famous Luk Thung singer Fon Thanasunthorn in the roles of Wilai and Aronong.

"Cruel Love Song" tells the story of Poona, a talented young woman who dreams of becoming a singer but is instead sent to infiltrate a music label to uncover the truth behind her parents' deaths—a case potentially linked to criminal networks. Meanwhile, Chaiya, a young police detective, receives a secret mission to go undercover investigating the same case, pretending to be a YouTuber. Their misunderstandings gradually blossom into romance, but as they get closer to the truth, obstacles multiply. The chemistry between Ben and Jeda promises to deliver an entertaining ride.

Ben Santirat shared: "In this role, I play Chaiya, a detective sent to tackle drug trafficking by a powerful figure in a village. I'll be undercover as a YouTuber conducting the investigation. This series has plenty of action sequences in the style of director Akhlorn Phoncharoen, who has collaborated with Ekkachai for a long time. That blend of Akhlorn's signature style with Ekkachai's direction creates something contemporary and well-balanced. The story is rich in flavor and features beautiful songs that match the title. As for whether I'll sing with Jeda, I'll let you discover that by watching. We've worked together before on 'Kwang Thang Buen,' but this is our first time playing opposite each other. There's good chemistry with no need for adjustment—Jeda is talented and dedicated, especially when it comes to singing. Please tune in!"

Jeda Sranya added: "I play Poona, who dreams of becoming an artist and singer. I was raised by my uncle, Ekkachai, who discouraged me from pursuing music. This creates mystery about why he opposed my involvement in the industry—a key thread in the story. Poona is a fighter, a bit rebellious, but deeply caring toward family and friends. She has some action scenes, though not as many as Ben's. I'm thrilled to work with Ben again and play opposite him for the first time. We already have good rapport, and Ben is as charming as ever. We'll constantly exchange ideas about how to play each scene. I hope you'll watch 'Cruel Love Song'—it's entertaining, beautifully made, and features wonderful songs. Stay tuned to see if Poona achieves her dream of becoming a singer!"

Tune in to "Cruel Love Song" every Monday through Friday at 7:00 PM on Channel 7HD (digital TV channel 35).

Expressway Authority Confirms Burapha Withi Bridge Structure Remains Strong, Only Surface Concrete Damaged

A lithium battery truck fire beneath Bangkok's Burapha Withi elevated expressway on May 3 caused surface concrete damage, but engineering inspections confirmed the bridge structure remains sound and safe for traffic.

4 May Khaosod

Engineering teams have completed their inspection of the site, and the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EATT) confirms that damage from the fire beneath the bridge is limited to the concrete surface. The Burapha Withi elevated expressway structure remains structurally sound and safe.

The incident involved a truck carrying lithium batteries that caught fire on Highway Theprathat (Bangnа–Trat) at kilometer 40+500 on May 3, 2025 at approximately 7:30 PM. The intense blaze, fueled by the battery fire, produced continuous explosions with flames shooting high enough to impact the expressway structure above, causing some concrete surface spalling and debris to fall onto the road below.

The EATT immediately ordered engineers and expert technicians to inspect the site on the night of the incident. They partially closed traffic lanes to prevent risks and facilitate the inspection work. At 11:00 PM, the EATT completed an initial damage assessment and found that damage was limited to concrete surface spalling and deterioration. Inspection of the overall concrete structure confirmed it remains structurally sound with no deformation or warping detected.

The EATT then removed loose concrete and sections showing signs of potential collapse for the safety of drivers below, completing this work at 5:00 AM on May 4, 2025. The Burapha Withi expressway remains open for normal traffic. The EATT urges the public to be assured that the expressway structure is structurally sound and has undergone rigorous engineering inspections, and apologizes for any inconvenience caused.

Malaysian Man Renews Wedding Vows with Wife After She Lost Her Memory, Vows to Stand by Her Until the End

A Malaysian man renewed his wedding vows with his wife eight years after a traffic accident left her with complete memory loss, surprising her at home with their children to reaffirm their commitment to each other.

4 May Khaosod

A Malaysian man held a surprise wedding renewal ceremony for his wife after she lost her memory from a traffic accident, expressing his wish to be by her side until their final day. His wife regained consciousness from a coma following the accident but could not remember him, her children, or many basic abilities, becoming entirely dependent on his care. However, even without her memories, she felt she had made the right choice in him as her life partner.

The husband explained that the accident occurred eight years ago, and the years following it were the most difficult of his life, especially when their children were still young. Determined to strengthen for his family and care for his wife, he secretly planned a surprise renewal ceremony at their home, with their children waiting inside with flowers to welcome this special moment for their parents.

He wanted the surprise to bring her joy and help her understand the life they had built together. He even brought her original wedding ring to the ceremony—though her fingers had become smaller after the accident, he slipped the ring back on her finger and they exchanged rings again amidst an atmosphere filled with deep emotion. The wife thanked him for always standing by her side, while he expressed his heartfelt sentiment: "In this life, everyone must part ways someday. I ask that I may be with you in every moment until our final day."
