Actor and director Aek Rangsiroj Phanphet discusses his dual role directing and starring in 'Dangerous Love Song,' a Gold C.P.G. Entertainment production. The drama centers on a past incident where someone discovers the secrets of a drug trafficking gang operating under the cover of a music label. When this person is hunted down and killed, their twin sibling seeks revenge by infiltrating the label to gather evidence. The story involves actresses Ben Santirat and Jeada Sranya, who help unravel the complex plot.

Aek explains the drama features 10 songs total—one original theme song and nine well-known tracks. His background as a musician aids his direction, helping him bring authenticity to the music and recording studio scenes. He praises both leading actresses, noting that Ben exceeded expectations in playing Chaiya, excelling in action sequences, emotional depth, and romantic scenes. Jeada, playing Puna, impressed him with her unexpected singing abilities alongside her acting, creating magical moments on screen. The production also features comedy relief from supporting actors like Thongthong, Joei, and Roong, along with action-packed sequences including explosions and car stunts.

Sansiri Public Company Limited has created a new phenomenon in the condominium market following the XT 10 Ekkamai project, which received overwhelming response from consumers. Customers queued for up to seven days to book in advance, pushing pre-sales in the first two days past 2 billion baht, representing 35% of the project's total value.

On May 18, 2026, Sansiri Public Company Limited revealed that the XT 10 Ekkamai project—a new lifestyle condominium under the XT brand—has generated substantial consumer interest. During the first two days of pre-sales, the project achieved sales exceeding 2 billion baht, accounting for 35% of the total project value. This success marks another record-breaking achievement for Sansiri in the condominium market, with large numbers of customers queuing for days to reserve units. This reflects continued strong demand in the Ekkamai area, which remains popular with both owner-occupants and investors, particularly among foreign nationals seeking central Bangkok condominiums.

XT 10 Ekkamai is a pet-friendly condominium located in the Ekkamai neighborhood, just 150 meters from Donki Mall and within five minutes of Thonglor and Sukhumvit. The project features shared facilities accessible to residents of other XT developments, including rooftop common areas and 24-hour services. Units start at one bedroom with a minimum size of 30 square meters, priced from 4.39 million baht, targeting young professionals, investors, and those seeking properties in high-potential locations.

Meanwhile, Sansiri also reported progress on the LOVE Charoen Nakhon project, a new condominium near IconSiam, which has similarly received positive reception with nearly 40% of units already sold. This indicates that the condominium market in prime locations continues to experience sustained demand, even as the broader real estate sector faces challenges from slowed purchasing power and economic headwinds.

Thailand's struggle for democracy in May has many tragic chapters, including the May 1992 uprising known as 'Pheung Thamin' (Black May) and May 2010 called '99 Corpses'—both recorded as dark moments in history marked by massive loss of life and blood spilled on the streets. The authorities and governments responsible for these two events will be remembered by the people forever, unforgettably.

The 1992 incident stemmed from a military coup that toppled Prime Minister Chatichai Choonhavan's government in February 1991. The coup leader then became Prime Minister himself, breaking his promise not to do so. This sparked massive protests against the transfer of power, leading to a brutal crackdown on May 17, 1992, that killed over 40 people. General Suchinda Kraprayoon resigned and granted himself amnesty.

Following May 1992's bloodshed, authorities made reforms, including investigating the violence, dismissing some military officers, amending the constitution to require the PM be elected from parliament, and establishing riot police with shields, batons, and tear gas instead of deploying armed soldiers.

Eighteen years later, on May 10-19, 2010, the military again dispersed red-shirt protesters, this time claiming they included terrorists and using live ammunition. The crackdown killed 99 people—worse than even the 1976 Thammasat massacre.

The red-shirts were protesting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's government, which they viewed as illegitimate, having come to power through a military coup and negotiated deal rather than winning elections. They demanded parliament dissolve and new elections be held.

Whether May 1992 or May 2010, both saw bloody massacres. The people will never forget the authorities responsible for these tragedies and will demand accountability forever.

Deep Fried Calamari with Tartar Sauce

Let's start with an appetizer: Deep Fried Calamari with Tartar Sauce—Italian-style battered and fried squid. Chef Nai explains that the squid comes directly from Surat Thani Province, famous for its freshness and natural sweet flavor. When coated with the restaurant's specially formulated light batter that maintains a crispy exterior and tender interior, this dish is an absolute delight.

Proosciutto with Ventriciana and Parmigiano

Next is Prosciutto with Ventriciana and Parmigiano, featuring aged Parma ham that's been cured for as long as 24 months from Italy, served alongside Parmigiano cheese that adds a savory richness. This dish pairs exceptionally well with wine.

Wild Rocket Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Salad lovers will appreciate the Wild Rocket Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette—arugula drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette that provides a sweet-tart flavor, with saltiness from Parma ham, topped with cheese that complements everything beautifully.

Sourdough Pizza Mushroom and Italian Sausage

Here comes the restaurant's highlight: Sourdough Pizza Mushroom and Italian Sausage. This sourdough base pizza is truly impressive from the first bite, and importantly, it's not overly heavy. Everyone should definitely try this dish.

Fettuccine Pesto Sauce

Next up is the signature pasta dish: Fettuccine Pesto Sauce. Fettuccine noodles tossed with pesto sauce made from basil combined with Thai basil to enhance the aroma, topped with cheese—this is genuinely delightful.

Beef Lasagna

This is the restaurant's best-selling dish: Beef Lasagna, a signature menu item. The ragù sauce is slow-cooked for approximately one day to fully infuse the meat. Between the layers are béchamel sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmigiano cheese layered throughout. This dish is absolutely rich, perfectly balanced, and beautifully executed.

BBQ Pork Rib

Moving on to BBQ Pork Rib, marinated pork ribs where Chef Nai uses organic coffee as a component in the barbecue sauce marinade. The pork is incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth, and the barbecue sauce flavor is excellent. Another must-try dish.

Tiramisu

Finishing with something sweet: even when you're full, dessert must be included. Tiramisu with its fragrant, sweet, and delicate flavor, accompanied by silky-smooth Panna Cotta and strawberry sauce that cuts through the sweetness perfectly.

Panna Cotta
