Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, has confirmed that his team will not hold a celebration party for winning the FA Cup due to an upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth, while also remaining evasive about his own future. Manchester City clinched their eighth FA Cup title by defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the final on May 16, securing their second trophy of the season after the Carabao Cup.

Following the match, Pep commented on his team's performance and celebration plans: "They played much better in the second half. Before Antuan (Semenyo) created chances, then we played better after Antuan scored."

"This is a magnificent trophy. I've done very well this year. Last season was the most difficult for many reasons. As for the celebration, there isn't even a beer. We'll celebrate next Monday after the game against Aston Villa. You know the game against Bournemouth (away on Tuesday) will be even tougher. We'll try to go there and get a good result."

The 55-year-old head coach also sidestepped questions about his own future amid reports that he could leave Manchester City at the end of this season, saying: "You're asking about rumors? What rumors? Let's just enjoy tonight."

Chanthaburi naval forces conducted intensive border patrols and arrested 13 Cambodian workers who admitted to illegally crossing into Thailand to escape poverty and unemployment caused by severe economic collapse in Cambodia, trekking through forests to enter the country.

On May 16, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., military personnel from Unit 526 (Ban Lam) and police from Ban Plaeng station in Chanthaburi jointly apprehended nine Cambodian nationals—five men and four women—who were trekking through forest terrain to illegally enter Thailand in the area of Sector 53, Moo 4, Thep Nimit Subdistrict, Pong Nam Ron District, Chanthaburi Province.

Preliminary investigation revealed that all migrants came from Banteay Meanchey and Prey Veng provinces without travel documents. They entered Thailand illegally because Cambodia offered no employment opportunities and severe economic hardship made survival unbearable. They decided to risk crossing the border hoping to find work in Chanthaburi, Rayong, and Chon Buri provinces.

On the same day, authorities also arrested Mr. Noom, 54 years old, along with four other Cambodian nationals—two men and two women. Noom was driving a pickup truck waiting to pick up the four Cambodian migrants at the forest edge. Investigation revealed that a Cambodian human smuggler had led the migrants through natural passage routes, charging 5,000 baht per person for transport services intended for work in Wang Sombun District, Sa Kaew Province. The smuggler had coordinated with Noom to pick them up at designated coordinates. Authorities have proceeded with legal prosecution.

They indicated plans to fight 1-2 more times before challenging champion Chieap Kaad of Por Pongswang.

On May 16, 2025, Deputy Police Colonel Atit Chantha, commander of Nong Wua So Police Station, ordered Lieutenant Phonm Saenthong and an investigation team to arrest Thosapol, 28, from Nong Ao Subdistrict, Nong Wua So District, Udon Thani Province. Officers seized 60 methamphetamine pills found in his possession. The arrest came after a 36-year-old female teacher filed a complaint of sexual harassment and solicitation for sexual services. During interrogation, Thosapol confessed to messaging the teacher seeking to purchase services, claiming he actually needed house cleaning help because he lived alone. He also admitted sometimes asking on behalf of a friend who had recently become addicted to methamphetamine. The suspect said he became hooked after seeing his friend use the drug and tried it himself. He pledged to quit drugs, expressing remorse toward his elderly aunt and younger sibling, and promised never to contact women this way again. Police proceeded with legal charges. The female teacher explained that the suspect initially requested to be Facebook friends, then persistently messaged her. When she grew curious about his identity, she devised a plan to uncover who he was and where he lived. She asked him to send photos, tricked him into a long conversation where he flirted with her, then reported all evidence to police. The teacher praised the police's swift action and expressed relief that the suspect would no longer harass others. She warned other women and children to be cautious of online scammers and sexual predators, urging everyone to be careful when using social media.

On May 16, 2025, a 45-year-old woman's body was discovered in a forest area behind a sugar mill in Ban Kao subdistrict, Muang district, Kanchanaburi Province, four days after she went missing. Her relatives filed a report with Muang Kanchanaburi Police Station, and authorities launched an investigation and circulated a missing person alert.

Investigating officers from Muang Kanchanaburi Police Station apprehended Somrit, 44, a neighbor who rented a room near the victim's residence. After intensive interrogation lasting several hours, he confessed to raping the victim, beating her repeatedly, and strangling her with a rope before tying her body to a tree to stage a suicide.

Somrit claimed that on the day of the incident, he tricked his wife into riding a motorcycle to pick up the victim from her home and bring her to the forest. He then sent his wife away before committing the assault and murder, staging it as a suicide. When he learned someone had discovered the body, he attempted to flee but was arrested before he could escape. Police noted that the suspect and victim had frequently drunk together and quarreled regularly, accumulating grievances over time.

Authorities have filed charges and are conducting a thorough investigation. Police also brought in Somrit's wife for questioning to determine whether she was complicit in the crime and to pursue further legal action.
