Seeing that beautiful smile on an aircraft isn't easy, but the dream has come true for Mahimlae Pornchada, a celebrated actress from Channel 7, who is embarking on a major new chapter in her life as a Thai Airways flight attendant. Despite widespread congratulations, the young actress will not abandon her acting work.

Amidst well-wishes, Mahimlae Pornchada has realized her childhood dream of becoming a cabin crew member for Thai Airways. Her official wings-pinning ceremony will take place at the end of this month, after which she will immediately begin working international routes.

The actress shared her feelings: "It's another dream I've wanted to pursue since childhood. As I'm getting older, I felt I should try it at least once before it's too late. Win or lose, it doesn't matter, but I gave it my absolute best, and in the end, I made it."

She continued, "The application process was difficult, and then came the training. I had always imagined myself looking beautiful on an aircraft, smiling at passengers, but when I actually trained, what concerned me most was safety. That's the number one priority they emphasize—passenger safety."

"This new journey, this major chapter in my life, feels like stepping away from Channel 7 and the entertainment industry, where I've spent nearly 15 years. This is my first time changing careers, like leaving my comfort zone. So I had to do my absolute best."

She added, "All my routes are international—Japan, Korea, China, Beijing—I don't have any domestic routes at all. If you want to see me, you'll have to fly internationally."

Regarding her acting career, fans of Mahimlae need not worry. The actress will continue to take on acting roles whenever her schedule allows, so fans can continue following her on Channel 7 HD.

Doctor O'Oak reveals 10 dangerous food groups threatening life, causing thickened blood, arterial calcium buildup, and stroke—foods 90% of Thais consume without restraint. He provides blood vessel cleansing recipes.

Dr. Supharak Vicharanyarn, owner of the "Doctor O'Oak DoctorSixpack" page, posted about daily foods that threaten life. He states that 10 food groups cause thickened blood, calcium deposits in arteries, stroke, and bedridden conditions—foods 90% of Thais eat uncontrollably.

After reviewing medical data and studying lifestyle medicine and longevity science, Doctor O'Oak found that the major acute health threat killing Thais is "coronary artery calcium (CAC)." Many mistakenly believe calcium intake causes arterial calcification, but at the cellular level, calcification results from arterial inflammation and tears. The body then draws calcium to patch the wounds until they become hardened plaque. The culprit that damages blood vessels is "copper coin recipe" foods we eat daily.

Today, Doctor O'Oak breaks down 10 dangerous food groups with 10 specific examples in each category and provides methods to switch to "golden coin recipe" foods that cleanse blood vessels.

1. Sugary Drinks and Syrups Why they accelerate arterial calcification: When sugar and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) enter the bloodstream, they bind to proteins, creating "AGEs" (Advanced Glycation End-products). These substances scratch the capillary lining, causing inflammation. The body then draws calcium to cover the wound until it becomes calcification.

10 items to strictly avoid: - Sweet milk tea with tapioca pearls - Iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk - All soft drinks - Boxed fruit juice (high hidden sugar) - Pre-made sweet sour milk drinks - Energy drinks in glass bottles - Bottled green tea with added sugar - Red cola - Iced milk or cart-style iced tea - Fruit smoothies with syrup

Replacement foods (golden coin recipe): Mineral water, alkaline water, black coffee (Americano), or pure organic matcha green tea brewed in the morning (strict rule: Doctor O'Oak's matcha formula forbids lattes—must be brewed with plain room-temperature or warm water only, absolutely no milk or sugar). EGCG compounds help reduce arterial inflammation.

2. Ultra-Processed Meats Why they accelerate arterial calcification: Processed meat contains very high levels of synthetic inorganic phosphates. These are 100% absorbed into the bloodstream, exceeding the kidneys' excretion capacity. When blood phosphate levels spike, it binds with calcium, forming "calcification" that accumulates in heart and brain artery walls directly.

10 items to strictly avoid: - Red sausages or cheese sausages - Sliced ham - Smoked bacon - Oily sausage - Pork with flour mix - Pork offal - Processed fish ball - Bologna slices - Salami - Seasoned dried salted meat

Replacement foods (golden coin recipe): Protein from natural animal sources like deep-sea fish (salmon, mackerel), organic chicken breast, or clean plant-based protein (tofu, tempeh, legumes) that don't create synthetic phosphate residue in the blood.

3. Bakery and Industrial Pastries Why they accelerate arterial calcification: Besides containing refined white flour and high sugar, the most dangerous element is trans fats from shortening and margarine. These fats oxidize LDL cholesterol into rust-like particles that penetrate artery walls, creating plaque ready to harden into calcification.

10 items to strictly avoid: - Fried dough sticks (pa tong go) - Margarine croissants - Sugar-glazed donuts - Cream cake

Xavi Simons, playmaker for Tottenham Hotspur and the Dutch national team, has confirmed he will miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a torn right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The 23-year-old was injured during Tottenham's 1-0 Premier League win over Wolverhampton on April 25. Initial reports indicated the ACL injury would sideline him for 7-8 months. Simons posted a statement confirming his World Cup absence, saying: "Life is cruel, and today it really is. My season has ended abruptly and I'm trying to understand it. To be honest, I'm devastated. Nothing makes sense. All I wanted to do was fight for my team, and now that ability has been taken from me, along with the World Cup." Simons has been a key player for Spurs this season, and his absence will impact the club's fight to avoid relegation in the final four matches. This follows other high-profile injuries ruling out stars like Liverpool striker Ugo Ekitike of France and Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry of Germany from this World Cup cycle.

The Royal Thai Navy will procure additional Armoured Wheel Amphibious Vehicle 8×8 (AWAV 8×8) units to strengthen its operational capability along the eastern border and support domestic defence industry development, a navy spokesperson said on 27 April 2026.

Rear Admiral Parach Rattanachaiyaphan said the procurement from Chaiseri Metal and Rubber Co., Ltd. is part of an ongoing effort to enhance the navy's readiness in line with current security conditions, including safeguarding maritime sovereignty, responding to emerging threats and supporting disaster relief operations.

The AWAV 8×8 was designed by Thai engineers and manufactured domestically using local labour and machinery, reflecting the country's growing defence industrial capability. At least 40% of its production value comes from locally sourced materials, helping strengthen domestic supply chains, reduce reliance on imports and support long-term industrial security.

The eight-wheeled vehicle offers high mobility across all terrains and can operate effectively alongside the navy's landing platform dock (LPD) vessels. In terms of protection and firepower, the AWAV meets STANAG standards for ballistic and blast resistance and is equipped with machine guns, control systems and integrated communications that connect with the navy's network. It also complies with MIL-STD environmental standards, ensuring durability in both land and maritime operations.

The navy has already deployed seven AWAV units, which have demonstrated high operational readiness and effectiveness. Additional procurement is considered necessary to meet force requirements and support future operational plans.

Rear Admiral Parach said the move not only enhances the navy's capability but also advances Thailand's defence industry policy, strengthening long-term self-reliance and contributing to national security in both military and economic dimensions.

BIG ASS frontman Jeang Deecha snapped back at online trolls, calling out keyboard warriors for being tough only behind a screen. Dax Rock Rider, former BIG ASS frontman, backed him up, saying these people deserve criticism.

Jeang had posted a touching message thanking fans for standing by the band for 13 years and celebrating BIG ASS's 13th anniversary EP release. However, the positive moment was interrupted when an online commenter wrote a rude remark. Jeang didn't take it lightly and responded sharply, taunting the commenter: "You're so tough, huh? Want to settle this in person? This is my space. If you were really that skilled, you wouldn't be leaving comments like this. Come say it to my face if you've got the guts, you coward..."

Dax Rock Rider also chimed in with a post stating: "You people deserve to be criticized, keyboard warriors. #DaxRockRider"

Huawei is partnering with Chumphae Hospital to elevate regional medical education through a telemedicine solution that broadcasts orthopedic and joint surgeries in real-time with 4K clarity and two-way communication systems. This allows resident physicians and medical staff to access expert knowledge without geographical limitations.

A major challenge in orthopedic surgery education is that high-value case studies are often complex, with operating room observation restricted by safety and infection control regulations, leaving many young doctors without hands-on learning opportunities.

Chumphae Hospital, serving residents in western Khon Kaen province, has continuously developed telemedicine to connect remote patients with specialists and reduce patient transfers, now extending this technology to medical education. In March 2025, Chumphae Hospital partnered with the Royal College of Orthopaedic Surgeons of Thailand to launch the "Orthopaedics for the Nation" project as a tribute to Queen Sirikit, bringing orthopedic specialists from across the country to perform complex surgeries for local patients.

Within the operating room, Huawei's telemedicine solution connected surgical images and audio to multiple classroom locations using 4K cameras and H.265 dual-stream encryption technology, allowing clear broadcast of every surgical step. The key feature is real-time bidirectional communication, enabling resident physicians to immediately question and interact with the operating surgeon, creating a learning experience close to being in the actual operating room.

The system also supports point-to-multipoint connectivity, allowing multiple classrooms to access live broadcasts simultaneously without geographical constraints while maintaining continuous signal stability.

Prof. Kirti Charoenlavanicha, President of the Royal College of Orthopaedic Surgeons of Thailand, stated: "Huawei's solution enables doctors to learn from and participate in complex surgeries in real-time with both clarity and genuine interaction. This is not merely a pilot project but a prototype that can be scaled to hospitals nationwide."

This project's success demonstrates that technology can effectively bridge the gap between the operating room and classroom, serving as an important model for advancing Thailand's medical and medical education systems in the future, particularly for provincial hospitals.
