The Corruption Court has sentenced a former principal of a prestigious school to 27 years in prison, with two other defendants each receiving 18-year sentences in a case involving improper student admissions during 2016-2018. On April 27, 2026, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) released court verdicts from its 78th criminal indictment issued in March 2026. The NACC had initially filed criminal charges on July 10, 2023, against Pramese (surname withheld), the former principal of Triam Udomsuksa School, and associates for establishing student admission criteria for the 2016-2018 academic years in violation of regulations set by the Secondary Education Area Office Zone 1 and the Office of the Basic Education Commission. The defendants were charged under the Criminal Code sections 147, 149, 157, and 162, combined with sections 86 and 91, as well as the Anti-Corruption Act B.E. 2542, sections 103, 122, and 123/1. The NACC approved an appeal on March 2, 2026. The case was filed at the Corruption and Misconduct Court under black case number OR 31/2568 and red case number OR 179/2568 on October 9, 2025, with defendants Pramese (defendant 1), Garrat (surname withheld) (defendant 2), and Dr. Paisal (surname withheld) (defendant 3). The court found all three guilty under sections 149 and 123/1 of the Anti-Corruption Act and section 172 of the 2561 Anti-Corruption Act combined with section 86. For multiple separate offenses combined under section 93, the defendants were sentenced under the heaviest applicable statute. Defendant 1 was convicted of being a government official who solicited, accepted, or agreed to accept assets or benefits improperly for himself or others to perform or refrain from performing duties—whether proper or improper—and received three consecutive nine-year sentences totaling 27 years. Defendants 2 and 3 were convicted of abetting a government official in soliciting or accepting improper benefits and each received three consecutive six-year sentences totaling 18 years. Other charges and claims were dismissed.

Singer Win Wekin Simawarom, who previously faced online jokes comparing him to other celebrities, is taking a hiatus from his music career to pursue acting. He has landed a role as a bar host in the TV series 'Ging Thong Slab Sai (Season 2)' on MV TV, directed by acclaimed producer Getsinee Bunma—a character that couldn't be further from his real life.

Win admits the role is quite challenging as it requires him to entertain and charm older women, something he's never experienced. He expressed both nervousness and excitement about the opportunity, saying: "It's a great chance to take on this role because in real life I would never get to experience this profession. Getting to try this character feels thrilling and fun. I've learned how people in this profession think and work. When I first acted with the senior actors, I felt a bit shy, but everyone on set is friendly and we all have a great time together."

Meanwhile, Win has previously released two singles: 'Mental Burden' and 'Not Number One.' He hints that a new single is coming very soon. Fans who want to see Win's charm in his bar host role can tune in to 'Ging Thong Slab Sai (Season 2)' on MV TV.

On April 27, 2569 at 11:30 AM, the Senate cafeteria on the second floor opened for self-service dining for the first time, featuring three food vendors offering noodle soup with pork and lime, red pork rice, desserts, and Muslim food (chicken rice box at 70 baht per box). Beverages remain complimentary, and payment is processed through digital scanning only.

Senate member Chaiyong Maneerungsukul reported adequate food variety with rice, noodles, and desserts available, though noted the lack of fresh fruit. First Senate Vice-President Grienggai Srirak also participated, purchasing red pork rice and crispy pork, buying five boxes for visiting guests.

Greienggai stated the atmosphere is lively and represents a shift amid the national crisis caused by Middle Eastern energy issues, with the Senate contributing to budget conservation. He explained this is the first day of trials with 3-4 vendors, with plans to survey members' preferences for menu adjustments in coming days. Regarding savings, he estimated costs dropping from 800 baht per person daily to approximately 200 baht or less, with his own meal costing 60 baht.

When asked about dissenting members, Grienggai noted that understanding must be developed through various committees, with most voting in favor of this measure as a temporary crisis response. He stated that if conditions normalize, free meals could return to their previous format. Some members expressed willingness to bring food from home if vendors aren't available. The rotating vendor system will continue until normal conditions resume, with potential expansion to include Parliament secretariat staff purchases if needed.

What started as a joke about unemployment turned into an unexpected business opportunity when Nick Greenawalt from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had a brilliant idea to transform a tiny space like a toilet into a real revenue-generating advertising area.

Initially, he simply posted humorous content about his unemployment status, but it attracted overwhelming attention. This led him to seriously pursue selling advertising space on his bathroom toilet. In his personal profile, he jokingly wrote: "CEO of unemployment, trying to make $1,000,000 from my toilet," a tagline that perfectly captured the trend and gave the concept a unique identity.

Shortly afterward, numerous major brands began booking space. Clorox, Pine-Sol, and MiraLAX featured their logos and messages on the toilet, while grooming brand Dr Squatch participated with a cheeky comment: "All I hear is 'King Dr Squatch.'" Cryptocurrency company MoonPay also joined the viral moment, posting: "24 hours ago, we advertised MoonPay on a stranger's toilet bowl."

The results were remarkable. MoonPay revealed that the campaign generated 1 million Instagram video views, increased app downloads, and gained over 1,000 new followers—all while spending just 0.05% of their annual marketing budget. The campaign cost was remarkably low despite its exceptional reach.

On social media, his videos went viral rapidly, with some clips receiving over 40 million views and others nearly 13 million. Many viewers praised the creative thinking and saw it as new inspiration for the content and marketing world. Many comments noted that this idea represents not just novelty, but genuine out-of-the-box thinking that can turn into real career opportunities. Some even view him as a representative of a new generation of creators who can transform ordinary things into remarkable business ventures.

At approximately 2:45 AM on April 26, traffic police from Division 5 operating a sobriety checkpoint on Petchkasem Road, Nong Khang Plu Subdistrict, Nong Khae District, Bangkok, apprehended three suspects: Taweesak (36 years old), Phassakorn (30 years old), and Piyawat (28 years old). The arrests followed a dramatic chase after the men fled a sobriety checkpoint in their white Toyota sedan.

The incident occurred when officers became suspicious of the three men's appearance as they passed through the checkpoint. When police attempted to search the vehicle, the suspects suddenly drove through, opened the door, and fled on foot. Traffic police pursued and caught them approximately 500 meters away.

When questioned, all three suspects admitted to having used methamphetamine before arriving at the checkpoint. They voluntarily underwent drug testing at Rajphiphat Hospital, which confirmed the presence of illegal drugs in their systems.

The first suspect was charged with illegal possession and use of Category 1 drugs (methamphetamine) and driving under the influence of drugs. The second and third suspects were charged with illegal possession and use of Category 1 drugs. The three men were subsequently transferred to Nong Khang Plu Police Station for further legal proceedings.
