6h ago Khaosod

May 26 – This year has forced business owners to rapidly adapt for survival amid a struggling economy, particularly hitting the food service industry hard, with many closing shop while others are determined to push through in hopes things will improve. Recently, the Facebook page for Thang Ngoen-Mookata in Rangsit Klong Neung posted photos from the night of May 25, with a caption stating: "This is real, not content. Today was the toughest day since we opened. If it stays this quiet, we might as well close and take our staff on a 10-20 day vacation instead (bitter laugh)." The owner later added: "Honestly, I thought only I was stressed when we had zero customers last night. But when I looked at the camera footage, my staff were just as worried and anxious. I saw them standing outside, looking left and right down the street. (Usually when we're busy, they tell me they love these crazy rushes.) But that's business – there are good days and slow days. We've just never experienced this before. My staff and I are confused, but I believe things will get better. I'm working on solutions." The post received an outpouring of encouragement from supporters wishing the restaurant through this tough period, while other restaurant owners commented that their businesses have been equally quiet.

Curry vendor deeply troubled by someone placing baht coins on her truck almost daily for nearly 2 years

7h ago Khaosod

A curry vendor is troubled by someone placing baht coins on her truck almost daily for nearly 2 years, and she believes it's affecting her sales. On May 26, TikToker @maenan85, a curry vendor, posted about the mysterious situation after finding baht coins left on her truck approximately 4-5 times per week for almost two years. She noted that coins appear on various spots—the rear bumper, truck edges, windows, fog lights, and wheels—and questioned what this practice means, as it seems to be impacting her business.

In her follow-up video, she explained her suspicion: the coins are always baht only, never other denominations. Initially, she thought it might be customers dropping coins from their pockets since she lives near a market, but she became concerned when people seemed to deliberately place them on her vehicle. After TikTok friends offered various explanations, she noticed the coins stopped appearing for a while, though she plans to monitor whether they return, especially on market day.

The post generated significant comments from viewers. When one person warned that such a practice could prevent business and keep customers away, the vendor replied, "That's exactly what's happening—my curry doesn't sell out some days. What should I do?" Many internet users then offered suggestions and remedies to address what some believe could be a curse or hex.

Anutin and Macron agree to deepen ties in aerospace, clean energy and cybersecurity

Thai PM Anutin and French President Macron agreed to deepen economic cooperation in aerospace, clean energy, and cybersecurity during talks in Paris, with both nations prioritizing a Thailand-EU Free Trade Agreement by year-end.

7h ago Khaosod

PARIS, France — Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron over dinner at the Élysée Palace on 25 May, with aerospace and aviation emerging as a key focus of discussions on deepening bilateral trade and investment ties.

Government spokeswoman Rachada Thanadirek summarised the outcomes of the meeting, which covered four main areas: trade and investment promotion, the Thailand-EU Free Trade Agreement, security and cybersecurity cooperation, and regional situations involving Cambodia and Myanmar.

On trade and investment, both leaders agreed to push for stronger growth in bilateral economic ties, with a particular emphasis on high-value industries. Aerospace and aviation were highlighted as a priority sector, alongside alternative energy, smart electricity transmission systems, and infrastructure for artificial intelligence and data centres — areas in which French private sector firms hold significant expertise.

Following separate discussions with MEDEF International and leading French companies, several firms expressed interest in investing or expanding their presence in Thailand. France also welcomed existing Thai private sector investment on French soil and expressed a desire to see it grow further.

On the Thailand-EU Free Trade Agreement, Prime Minister Anutin reaffirmed that concluding the negotiations this year is a key government priority. He thanked France for its continued support throughout the negotiation process, expressing confidence that the agreement would serve as a turning point in creating economic opportunities for both countries.

On security, both sides agreed to expand cooperation into cybersecurity, building on their existing participation in the Cobra Gold joint military exercises. The move aligns with Thailand's broader efforts to combat online fraud and cybercrime, which have already resulted in successful prosecutions, extraditions, and the seizure of significant illicit assets.

On regional affairs, Prime Minister Anutin reaffirmed Thailand's commitment to sovereignty, peace, and international law in relation to the situations in Cambodia and Myanmar. He said Thailand's decision to cancel the MOU 44 with Cambodia came after nearly 25 years without progress, and that Thailand would instead pursue resolution under UNCLOS through bilateral dialogue. On land border issues, he said Thailand would follow the joint statement signed late last year and would be watching for genuine commitment from the Cambodian side.

Both sides agreed to advance a Joint Action Plan to Strengthen the Thai-French Partnership 2026-2028, a significant step towards elevating the bilateral relationship to a strategic partnership.

Ferrari unveils electric supercar for drivers tired of engine noise

Ferrari unveiled its first fully electric supercar, the Luce, starting at €550,000 with over 1,000 horsepower and 2.5-second acceleration, replacing traditional engine noise with amplified powertrain sounds.

7h ago Khaosod

ITALY — 26 May 2026, Ferrari has unveiled its first fully electric vehicle, giving the world's wealthy a new way to experience silent acceleration while ordinary people continue wondering whether they can afford eggs, rent, or a second-hand Honda Jazz.

The new Ferrari Luce, a four-door electric grand tourer reportedly producing more than 1,000 horsepower, starts at around €550,000 (about 21 million baht before Thai import taxes deliver the final knockout blow).

In Thailand, that price roughly translates to:

1 Ferrari Luce or Several detached houses upcountry or Approximately 250,000 plates of krapao moo daeng kai dao, depending on your restaurant of choice.

Ferrari says the Luce represents the future of performance motoring. Critics say it resembles a concept car generated by artificial intelligence after being trained exclusively on luxury humidifiers and airport lounges.

The Italian automaker insists the EV still delivers the emotional experience Ferrari owners expect, despite lacking the traditional screaming V8 or V12 engine noise. Instead, engineers created a system that amplifies sounds and vibrations from the electric powertrain, so drivers can be reminded they are still spending half a million euros correctly.

The Luce accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 2.5 seconds, which means Bangkok drivers can now reach the next red light in record time.

Ferrari also emphasised the vehicle's practicality, noting it has four doors and seating for five people — a historic breakthrough for owners who previously had to choose which friend to leave behind.

Social media reactions ranged from admiration to confusion. Some users praised Ferrari for embracing the future, while others questioned whether the car looked more like a Ferrari or a luxury toaster.

Analysts say Ferrari's challenge will be convincing traditional enthusiasts that an electric Ferrari can still feel special. Others argue this debate is largely academic because most people discussing the Luce online were never remotely close to buying one anyway.

Still, the launch marks a major moment for one of the world's most iconic carmakers. And for readers currently checking their bank balance before ordering iced coffee, Ferrari would like you to know the future has officially arrived.

Ferrari shares reportedly fell after the unveiling, suggesting some investors may need more time to emotionally process a Ferrari that sounds like a spaceship.

At least it comes in red.

4 dead, 5 hurt in a crash between a train and a school bus, Belgian officials say

Four people, including two children, died when a train struck a school bus at a level crossing near Buggenhout in northern Belgium during morning rush hour; five other children were hospitalized with serious injuries.

BUGGENHOUT, Belgium (AP) — Four people, including two children, were killed in a crash between a train and a bus in northern Belgium, federal prosecutors said on Tuesday.

Five children were taken to hospital in a serious condition, they said.

The accident happened at a level crossing during the morning rush hour near the town of Buggenhout, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of the capital, Brussels.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below.

BUGGENHOUT, Belgium (AP) — Several people have been hurt in a collision between a train and a minibus carrying children in northern Belgium, federal police said Tuesday.

The accident happened at a level crossing during the morning rush hour near the town of Buggenhout, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of the capital, Brussels. Details about how it unfolded were not immediately clear.

Police said that "several people" were hurt in the accident, but that they are unable to provide further details.

Belgian private broadcaster VTM said that four people were killed, but police would not confirm whether there were any deaths "out of respect for the families of those implicated."

VTM said the barriers at the level crossing were closed but that the bus appeared to try to cross anyway and was hit by the train. Seven schoolchildren were aboard the minibus, with a driver and an escort.

An Associated Press reporter at the scene said that badly damaged bus lay toppled on its side. Forensic experts in protective white suits and wearing gloves were taking photos of the scene. A white pop-up tent was erected nearby. The train was relatively unscathed.

In a social media post, Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin expressed "great sadness" over "the tragic accident in Buggenhout, where a school bus was struck by a train. My thoughts go out to the victims and their loved ones."

The Thai Royal Foundation's Sosatha Children's Home, which provides substitute family care for orphaned children who have lost their parents or relatives, continues its annual summer travel and study program for the 15th year with support from Cape & Kantary Hotels. Theeraphong Pungsrivongse, founder of Cape & Kantary Hotels and deputy director of the Sosatha Children's Foundation, leads this year's initiative titled "Strengthening Sibling Bonds and Family Unity" running from April to May 2025.

The program aims to provide youth from all five Sosatha Children's Home locations—Bangkok, Hat Yai, Nong Khai, Chiang Rai, and Phuket—with new learning experiences and life skill development through travel and educational activities. This year, over 600 youth will participate in trips to attractions near their respective home locations, with Cape & Kantary Hotels covering all expenses including transportation, accommodation, meals, and activities.

"I am delighted that Cape & Kantary Hotels has continuously supported and created wonderful experiences for these youth over the past 15 years," Theeraphong said. "We believe these experiences will foster their physical and emotional development and inspire their futures."

The five groups will undertake three-day, two-night trips in late April 2025: Chiang Rai group (158 youth) to Kantary Hills Chiang Mai, Phuket group (130 youth) to Kantary Beach Khao Lak, Samut Prakan group (99 youth) to Kantary Bay Rayong, Nong Khai group (122 youth) to Kantary Korat, and Surat Thani group (134 youth) to Kantary Beach Khao Lak.

Additionally, Theeraphong and his family members donated 1 million baht to support the foundation's multipurpose building construction, along with annual operational support from Cape & Kantary Hotels.

Lawyer Pim Takes Arrested Man's Mother to File Justice Complaint Against Police Unit After Discovering Procedural Violations

A mother filed a justice complaint against Muang Nakhon Pathom Police alleging procedural violations during her son's arrest, including missing evidence logs and confiscated surveillance footage. Lawyer Pim says officers conducted a home se

8h ago Khaosod

On May 26, 2025, at the Central Investigation Police Bureau's complaint center, a 67-year-old mother of Ritthisak, accompanied by lawyer Pichyavadee Jirochoteetsittha (known as Lawyer Pim, runner-up in Miss Grand Nakhon Pathom 2026) and legal representative Napritthee Jirochoteetsittha, filed a justice complaint requesting an investigation into the arrest procedures conducted by Muang Nakhon Pathom Police. They submitted criminal case notices, photos of arcade game machines, and court testimony transcripts as evidence.

Lawyer Pim revealed that on September 26, 2023, Ritthisak surrendered at Muang Nakhon Pathom Police Station on intimidation charges at 8:00 AM. However, at approximately 12:30 PM the same day, approximately 30 police officers with a court warrant conducted a home search while Ritthisak was already in detention. The mother stated that officers called her to identify drugs allegedly found in her son's pickup truck, which had been sent to a repair shop. Fearful and shocked, she signed an acknowledgment.

The complainants identified several procedural violations: evidence logs show missing items, the arrest team leader admitted seeing arcade machines but claimed too much evidence prevented cataloging them, yet the mother witnessed officers loading two arcade machines onto the police truck with no log entry. Additionally, officers confiscated a closed-circuit TV memory card, allegedly destroying evidence of the search.

Ritthisak claims the entire incident stems from harassment due to a severe personal dispute with a police sergeant-major over a woman, nearly escalating to gunfire, and that one arrest team member is his estranged former father-in-law with longstanding conflicts. The family and lawyer therefore petitioned the Central Investigation Police Bureau commander for a fair investigation into the arrest unit's conduct.

Lawyer Pim added that the drug case is currently in witness testimony phase at court, so details remain confidential. However, they contest the DNA test claiming officers failed to inform the suspect of his rights or the test's purpose, and the suspect believed it was a COVID test and never signed a DNA consent form.

Daily Horoscope – Lucky and Unlucky Days Tuesday, May 27, 2025 By Busaban Lackana

Aries (Mesha) Today you will receive benefits and comfort from newly acquired friends who are particularly hardworking. Some friends will frequently visit and bring gifts, while others may try to recruit you for work, which could disrupt your normal routine. Avoid unfamiliar senior figures in your workplace for now.

Taurus (Rishabha) You will receive strong friendship and compassion from relatives and acquaintances, and gain favor from knowledgeable, high-status elders. Although your health is strong, your mind tends to worry about the future. Good news regarding work and housing is coming, and you'll overcome various troubles. However, losses often occur before gains arrive.

Gemini (Mithuna) You won't fear being looked down upon because you're sincere in your true nature. During this period you may lose wealth due to your own emotions, and your entourage may borrow money frequently. Avoid aggressive behavior toward senior women, as they may punish you or blame you for their misfortunes.

Cancer (Karka) Elders will become irritable with you, and nearly everything you do will face poor results. Everyone will react as if they're your enemy. This is a day accidents can easily occur. Your close ones may misunderstand various matters. This period sees an abnormal influx of scammers, especially those who have been deceived repeatedly.

Leo (Simha) You will encounter many amusing situations or exciting magic shows. Someone will bring you herbal medicine made from wood or roots. You'll receive help from elders in a compassionate manner, with assistants helping you work very well, especially on official matters.

Virgo (Kanya) You should not drive fast vehicles at reckless speeds. If people in your vehicle quarrel, find a way to exit. Don't pick up items or cash found on small roads, as it will obstruct greater fortune. Be careful of hot items and faulty electrical equipment both at home and outside.

Libra (Tula) You may be troubled by neighbors' pets, but if you're patient, you'll gain good friends. There will be frequent disruptions to peace at your residence. Foreign nationals of the opposite sex may become increasingly involved with you. You won't have luck with stocks or lottery during this period, but other income looks good.

Scorpio (Vrichika) You should not use faulty electrical equipment or play with fire inside your home or office, as children and the elderly may get lost, causing you distress. You'll receive good news about work from friends and elders, but beautiful jewelry or valuable artwork may be damaged by accident. Avoid cutting large trees or hunting in the forest during this period.

Sagittarius (Dhanu) You will receive good news or receive property sent from afar. Friends may gather at your home, which could turn into disputes. Former adversaries will make you prosperous and admired, increasing your influence and prestige. Your spouse will be interested in education or philosophy.

Capricorn (Makara) Be cautious—your carefulness is not what it should be. You may become lost in colors and entertainment, losing some wealth. Favors to relatives today seem wasted. Your mind will feel conflicted. Old belongings or amulets may be easily damaged or lost.

Several humorous comments also offered encouragement, such as, "At first I thought just a shoe fell off, then I realized it was the whole leg!" and "So glad to see both the kindness of people and your determination to keep cycling."
