On the most important day of her life, Joanna Vee, a bride from Dong Nai Province in Vietnam, moved wedding guests to tears when she decided to place two empty chairs in the middle of her wedding ceremony to honor her most beloved family members.

Her wedding took place on April 26th. In the midst of celebration, Joanna Vee chose to set up two chairs, complete with flower arrangements and heartfelt messages, to let her late "mother and father" know that their youngest daughter was beginning a new chapter of her life.

She shared that she was the youngest of three siblings, raised surrounded by family love and warmth. But life changed when her father passed away from illness in 2021, and two years later, her mother followed, after being grief-stricken over losing her husband. When speaking about that period, she could barely hold back her tears. She recalled that her father passed away suddenly, while her mother embraced her before passing and said her goodbyes. Those memories remain as scars on her heart to this day.

Although she lost her pillars of support, she still has an older brother caring for her and an older sister who always worries about her. She has also received encouragement from her husband, whom she has been dating since 2020 and whom her family had known and supported all along.

Before the big day, she admitted to crying many times thinking about her parents. But with the support from her groom and relatives, she was able to overcome her sadness and transform it into positive energy to create this special space.

On her wedding day, tears streaming down her face, she said: "I wanted my parents to still be part of every important moment in my life, even if only through my memories of them."

On May 8, 2025, prominent television personality Natchart Jantapun (Nicky) filed a police report at the Technology Crime Investigation Bureau in Thonburi, accompanied by his lawyer Colonel Dr. Thanakrit Chitrareeriyaratana. The complaint targets an individual who posted defamatory messages during the Manchester United versus Liverpool match broadcast, when Nicky was attending the game at Old Trafford supporting Manchester United, which won 3-2.

Nicky explained that while he accepts criticism about his commentary—such as being called a loudmouth or other football-related insults—he cannot tolerate someone attacking his parents. He revealed that the individual insulted his mother's appearance and made degrading comments about his father, saying things like "Your mother's face looks like a heel" and "Your father is garbage, when will he get out of jail." Nicky acknowledged that his father had previously served time in prison, but emphasized this should not be used as a basis for public insults.

The actor noted that despite being criticized extensively on social media throughout his career, this is the first time he is filing a police complaint. He stated he is only pursuing this one case because the person crossed a line by attacking his family. Nicky also revealed that he posted on Facebook offering a 2,000 baht reward for information identifying the suspect, and has since learned the person is a real individual, approximately 30 years old. He expressed a desire to meet the accused and see what kind of mother the person has, given that the individual felt comfortable insulting his own mother.

Thai national volleyball star Pimpicha Kokram has confirmed that she will definitely be moving to the American volleyball league next season, though she cannot disclose her team's name at this time. Pimpicha has completed two seasons playing in European leagues and became the first Thai volleyball player to win a German league championship and the second to capture a European league title, following Sara Nusra Tomkham, an elite setter who won the Turkish volleyball league championship with Fenerbahçe in 2016/17. Multiple clubs have contacted her, including her former team which wanted her to stay, but she decided to pursue a new challenge to develop herself further. While keeping the team name confidential for now, Pimpicha explained that her experience in Europe taught her about fast-paced volleyball, aggressive play, and strong blocking systems, particularly from facing top Italian teams in the CEV Cup and Champions League—valuable lessons she hopes to bring back to benefit Thailand's national team. She also mentioned consulting with Pom Pornpan Kaeitprachya, who previously had experience in the American league, and aims to "make history" for Thai spikers on the American volleyball stage as well.

Wisit Ongpipattanakul, chairman of Trinity Watthana Public Company Limited (TNITY), announced following the company's 24th ordinary shareholders' meeting on April 30, 2025, that all resolutions were unanimously approved.

Trinity emerged victorious in the civil court proceedings, with the defendant currently pursuing an appeal. The company expects to receive full repayment of the disputed amount. Despite these challenges, Trinity thanked shareholders and investors for their continued confidence as the company celebrated its 25th anniversary on April 27, 2025. The company reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable growth and pledged to continue serving as a capital intermediary while delivering strong returns to clients and shareholders.

Michael Carrick, interim manager of Manchester United, acknowledges that his future with the club is not entirely in his hands, despite successfully guiding the team back to UEFA Champions League football. Carrick was appointed as interim manager until the end of the season following Rúben Amorim's dismissal on January 6, and has since compiled a record of 10 wins in 14 league matches. His impressive performance has made the 44-year-old a leading candidate for the permanent managerial position at Manchester United, though he confirms there has been no progress regarding his future at Old Trafford. "Clarity is important—my situation, my role, and what happens next—nothing has changed," he said. "It's been just a few days since we achieved our goal of finishing the season strongly. I understand the questions and the timing. From my perspective right now, it's about keeping the players in a state of readiness to finish the season well." "As I've said all along, I'm at peace with it. It will sort itself out when the time comes. It's beyond my control."

Phutthachai BUS is making his ice hockey comeback after three years away, vowing to perform at his best, while his younger brother Pim Thanat is thrilled by the growing interest in ice hockey and credits his older brother as his inspiration. On May 7, the famous artist and former ice hockey player Phutthachai BUS, along with his younger brother Pim Thanat Limpanya from '9214KIDS,' attended a press conference for the international 'XPENG International Ice Hockey Cup 2026 – Asia Elite Series' at Thailand International Ice Hockey Arena, sharing their emotions about returning to the ice.

Both brothers expressed happiness and excitement at their return after being away from ice hockey for an extended period. Pim revealed he's been shaking off the rust for about three months and is eager to face strong competitors, while Phutthachai admitted it's been over three years since he last played and hinted at special performances and surprises coming soon for fans.

When asked about his feelings, Phutthachai said: "I'm happy, really. I haven't been on the ice in a long time. The last time I played was with Copper and Heart, which was ages ago. I'm always happy when I come back, and I love the atmosphere on the ice."

Pim added: "I'm feeling happy and excited. The atmosphere is really nice, and I'm excited to compete against some really talented opponents."

Regarding the tournament, Pim expressed anticipation for the international competitors and matches ahead.

When asked what's special about this return, Pim noted he's still able to play despite not having competed for about three months, and he's committed to shaking off the rust. Phutthachai revealed the significant gap of three years and acknowledged he's forgotten a lot, but promised to give his absolute best.

Phutthachai remembered his last game as a friendly match where he had to leave early for dance practice, marking the end of his ice hockey career. He cherished the memory because it was the last time playing with his teammates.

When hinted about good news, Phutthachai teased: "Well, there will be a comeback performance on the ice (smiling). There will be special performances too, but let everyone follow the details. It's coming soon, so stay tuned."

On his fitness level, Phutthachai explained: "We stay fit all the time. In two days we'll have OLYMPOP, and I've been an athlete my whole life. I believe we maintain our fitness to be ready for athletic competitions efficiently whenever we get the opportunity."

When asked how long it's been since Pim played with his older brother, Pim couldn't recall exactly. Phutthachai explained the long gap, noting their age difference meant they competed in different age groups as children, and at their current age, they compete with peers their own age, so they haven't played together for a very long time.

When asked if Pim had mentioned he plays because of his older brother, Pim confirmed: "Yes, back then he seemed to want to play, so I followed along. Once we started playing together, it felt really fun, so we kept playing together."

Asked how Phutthachai felt hearing this, he responded: "I'm happy that I could be an inspiration for my younger brother and others to pick up a hockey stick and pursue their dreams. I think my younger brother is also inspiring the new generation to play ice hockey. I'm really glad that more people are loving and playing ice hockey now than when we used to play."
