Eva Speaks Sweetly About 'Father Danny' Sitting Beside Her, Reveals They Still Message

Comedian Danny Sripinya died suddenly from undiagnosed acute kidney failure and heart disease after experiencing stomach bloating and weakness, with his widow revealing the entire crisis unfolded in just days while their daughter Eva was ke

3 May Khaosod

Eva breaks down as she reveals her father Danny is sitting right there with her. Kwang Photchanee, appearing with her daughter Eva on the talk show 'Khuey Saep Show' on Channel One31, opens her heart about life after losing her famous comedian husband Danny Sripinya, while revealing the first warning signs before his unexpected death. Eva shows remarkable strength, saying her father is right here with her, and shares her dream of becoming a designer—but wants to bring someone special into the industry as well.

What were the initial warning signs about Danny's health condition?

Kwang: He had stomach bloating after eating, and it kept getting worse. We thought it was acid reflux. When he went to the doctor, they gave him acid reflux medication, but it didn't help. The doctor didn't do thorough testing, just gave him an injection and medicine. When he came home, the bloating stopped, but he started feeling weak and tired. We thought that was strange. His urine output decreased—I check his urine every day anyway. So I asked him to get checked. He agreed to go. When the blood test came back, it showed acute kidney failure in the early stages. We had to get thorough testing done immediately. The doctor said he had acute kidney failure and heart disease, which we never knew about before. Danny didn't tell anyone and didn't like getting checked—out of sight, out of mind. He was patient and didn't want to worry others.

Did Eva know her father was sick?

Kwang: Before he left, he told her that he would come, that he was going for treatment first. He wanted to be near the best doctor at that time. Eva said okay and told him to get better quickly.

How long did everything happen in?

Kwang: Just one day. The next day we went to the doctor, got admitted, and went straight to the ICU because he was having severe breathing difficulties.

When he entered the ICU, was he conscious? How many days before things got worse?

Kwang: While in the ICU, he got progressively more tired. Even with high-pressure oxygen, he was still struggling. The doctor explained what was happening. His urine output stopped. On the 16th, the heart doctor came and said he needed to be moved to the cardiac ICU.

During this time, he was conscious throughout. Even when they put in the breathing tube in the cardiac ICU, he could still communicate okay. But his kidneys stopped responding. They gave him diuretics but nothing came out. His heart was beating so irregularly they couldn't give him certain medications.

While he was in the ICU and then moved to the cardiac ICU, Kwang stayed with Danny the whole time. Who was with Eva?

Kwang: She was with her grandparents. She knew a little bit. We didn't hide it from her completely, but we didn't tell her that her father was in critical condition. We told her gradually, bit by bit.

What did the hospital tell you at the critical moment?

Kwang: I could only visit once during that time, around midday. The nurse called and said Danny wasn't responding anymore. He had started dialysis the day before, but it still wasn't working. His blood pressure was dropping and his heart rhythm was abnormal. The nurse said he was no longer responding and everything was getting worse.

If something happened, would you do CPR? I told them to do CPR just once. Should we continue dialysis? Should we give medication? But ultimately, it would end up in the same place. So I decided not to continue dialysis because dialysis can cause the heart to stop. Medication would have the same outcome. So I let him rest. I didn't want him to suffer.

How did your daughter give you strength?

Eva: I gave mom courage. Before dad left, I gave him his favorite stuffed toy to take with him (laughs)—it was a Labou Bou doll.

When your father was very sick, did he know? Did you get to visit him?

Kwang: No, we didn't take her. Because I didn't want her to see her father in pain. If Danny knew that his daughter...

Life in the Sky! Seven-Month Pregnant Woman Gives Birth on ITA Airways Flight During Flight

A seven-month pregnant passenger unexpectedly gave birth aboard an ITA Airways flight from Senegal to Rome at 34,000 feet, with help from two doctors and a nurse among the passengers; both mother and baby are healthy.

3 May Khaosod

A woman has given birth on a flight headed to Rome after suddenly going into labor while the aircraft was at an altitude of approximately 34,000 feet, creating an unexpected dramatic incident in the sky.

The incident occurred on ITA Airways flight AZ855, which departed from Dakar, Senegal on Wednesday, headed for Rome, Italy. About an hour after takeoff, the crew was notified that a pregnant female passenger seven months along was experiencing urgent labor.

The crew quickly moved the passenger to a more private area of the aircraft and announced a request for medical personnel on board to assist. Shortly after, two doctors and a nurse who were passengers stepped forward and immediately helped manage the emergency situation, working closely with the cabin crew to monitor the delivery.

Ultimately, the woman successfully delivered her baby in mid-air, with both mother and newborn in good health and safe following the delivery.

The airline later confirmed the incident, describing it as a rare occurrence and special event. They praised the professionalism of the cabin crew and expressed gratitude to the medical personnel among the passengers who assisted during this emergency.

Tragic Accident: Lightweight Brick Truck Tire Explodes, Vehicle Flips Over and Crushes Driver

A tire blowout caused a brick-laden truck to flip on Petchkasem Road in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province on May 3, fatally trapping the driver under the collapsed cab. The overloaded vehicle, carrying over 33 tons, proved difficult to recover a

3 May Khaosod

On May 3, 2025, investigators from Samkrathay Police Station, led by Lieutenant Colonel Suphaluk Wanwaja, responded to reports of a overturned truck with a fatality on Petchkasem Road (southbound), kilometer marker 269+600 in Dong Klang Village, Samkrathay Subdistrict, Kuiburi District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Emergency responders from Kuiburi Highway Police, Luangpho Nai Kutee Foundation rescue team, and local volunteer networks arrived at the scene.

The Krabi-registered trailer truck was found overturned in the central median with its wheels pointing skyward. The impact caused the truck's cab to collapse on the driver, fatally trapping him inside. The driver was identified as Mr. Srisak (surname withheld).

Preliminary investigation revealed the truck was fully loaded with lightweight bricks totaling over 33 tons. The left front tire experienced a blowout at the accident location, which investigators believe was caused by the excessive load that prevented the driver from maintaining control of the vehicle.

The vehicle recovery operation proved extremely difficult due to the combined weight of the truck and cargo. Police closed one lane of traffic in the right lane adjacent to the median for safety and to provide space for crane operations. Rescue personnel worked against time using cutting equipment to extract the driver's body from the compressed wreckage, a process that took over two hours to complete successfully. The body was then transported to Kuiburi Hospital for autopsy according to legal procedures before the trailer was removed from the roadway to restore normal traffic flow.

Concrete Foundation Collapses into Bang Pakong River as Owner Fails to Rescue Valuables in Time

A residential home and motorcycle repair shop collapsed into the Bang Pakong River in Chachoengsao Province on May 3 after a concrete foundation gave way, likely due to ground subsidence triggered by recent heavy rainfall. The owner, Vidhun, was unable to retrieve valuables before the structure failed and fell approximately 30 meters into the river. The nearby temple embankment also collapsed in the incident, and authorities have cordoned off the area while monitoring for additional subsidence.

3 May Khaosod

At 3:30 PM on May 3, 2025, rescue officials from Chachoengsao received a report of a residential structure collapsing into the Bang Pakong River in Ban Mai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chachoengsao Province, and immediately coordinated with local authorities and relevant agencies to respond.

The incident destroyed a residential home and adjoining motorcycle repair shop belonging to 63-year-old Vidhun, which collapsed approximately 30 meters into the Bang Pakong River. The collapse was caused by ground subsidence beneath the concrete foundation near Saicharl Temple's embankment. Community members attempted to rescue valuable items from both the repair shop and residence and managed to move some possessions to safety.

Vidhun recounted that no one was inside the home or repair shop at the time, but he heard several loud cracking sounds from the concrete foundation. He attempted to rush in and grab valuable items but didn't have time before the collapse occurred. The incident happened rapidly—after the final cracking sound, the concrete foundation settled and caused the temple embankment to collapse into the Bang Pakong River immediately. The subsidence is believed to have resulted from heavy rain that fell in the area two days prior, which may have caused the soil beneath the concrete foundation to shift and collapse.

Venerable Dhamma Kittipanyo, abbot of Saicharl Temple at Rangsee, explained that the temple's embankment had stood for many years without problems. The concrete area where the collapse occurred was originally riverbank soil, which the temple had filled in to create a paved surface with stairs leading down to the water. Previously, temple visitors could park vehicles and walk in this area without issue.

This time, the soil beneath the concrete foundation appears to have shifted, causing a slide that impacted the embankment structure built years earlier, bringing it down into the river. Initial damage assessments are difficult as water levels are currently low; further subsidence may occur when water levels rise. Intermittent cracking sounds are still being heard. Authorities have been alerted to conduct safety inspections and cordon off the area to prevent further accidents.

MP Kamlasak Raises Justice Standards Concerns, Worried Murder Case Delays Could Compromise Evidence and Prevent Reaching Masterminds

An MP from Narathiwat has raised concerns that investigative delays in a murder case could destroy critical evidence and prevent authorities from pursuing those who ordered the crime. He cited slow progress in issuing warrants and questione

3 May Khaosod

On May 3, 2025, MP Kamlasak Leewamoae from Narathiwat District 5 of the Prachanat Party expressed concern about progress in a murder investigation, warning that delays in the investigation process could lead to loss of critical evidence and obstruct the expansion of charges to those at higher levels of command.

Kamlasak noted that the case involves key issues regarding hiring or supporting criminal activity, which requires interconnected witness testimony forming a network. If proceedings are delayed, important information could fade away, risking being "edited" in ways that prevent reaching the actual perpetrators.

Although investigators have conducted additional questioning of suspects whose statements align with previous complaints, there has been no apparent progress in issuing summons or arrest warrants for additional persons involved.

Kamlasak also raised concerns about law enforcement standards in the region, pointing out that in many previous cases, information from special law interrogations has led to rapid charges, yet this case with formal complaints and clear criminal elements has proceeded slowly. This could cause society to question whether officials are applying justice equally.

Regarding digital evidence, particularly telephone communication records between involved parties, Kamlasak noted that access to such data is restricted by the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), requiring court authority or investigator approval to proceed, which may be another factor causing investigative delays.

He also raised concerns about evidence management, noting that some important documents are not directly under the case officer's responsibility but held by the central investigation unit, which could affect coordination efficiency and case continuity.

However, security sources confirmed that the case remains under collection of additional evidence, with all steps proceeding carefully within legal frameworks to ensure the case is solid and can fully enter the justice process.

This case reflects important questions about the justice process in southern border provinces regarding speed, law enforcement standards, and public confidence in whether the state can deliver justice equally, transparently, and without discrimination.

Review: Disappointed with 12kg Primmy Pie Durian at 1,800 Baht Despite Celebrity Endorsement

A customer paid 1,800 baht for a 12kg Primmy Pie durian promoted by a deputy prime minister but received mushy and sour fruit, with the seller denying a refund claim despite repeated requests for accountability.

3 May Khaosod

The controversy began when Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Supachee Sutthiphand collaborated with popular online seller Primmy Pie to promote durian at 100 baht per fruit, raising questions from some durian farmers and consumers about whether such pricing harms traditional growers. A Facebook user recently posted a review in a consumer group describing their disappointing experience with a 12kg Primmy Pie durian purchase: the first fruit was mushy, the second acceptable, and the third—the largest—looked nice but tasted sour. The customer attempted to file a claim on TikTok through the original purchase channel but was denied without explanation and asked to provide additional evidence. The customer noted the absurdity of having to film video proof while unpacking, with one sour fruit still being held for the seller's team to taste, while the spoiled fruit had already been discarded due to its overwhelming odor that permeated both the house and refrigerator. Despite sending messages requesting accountability, the seller has not responded. The customer concluded by noting the 12kg box at 1,800 baht isn't cheap, but they purchased it specifically because a celebrity was promoting it—never expecting it would damage the government's reputation this much.

Playing It Safe – Anutin Won't Risk It, Sakdi's Political Rehabilitation Stays on Hold

Prime Minister Anutin has firmly denied reports that former minister Sakdi Sayan could return to the cabinet, despite an NACC decision clearing him of stock concealment charges. The move reflects political risk management, as a previous Con

3 May Khaosod

Prime Minister Anutin has categorically denied reports that Sakdi Sayan could return as a minister. While it sounds like routine news management, his repeated insistence that he has "nothing to do with it" and will "not bring him back" reveals this issue is far more contentious than meets the eye.

The situation didn't stem from rumors but from the NACC's decision to dismiss Sakdi's stock concealment case, which technically reopens his political standing. However, there's a fundamental problem: conflicting rulings exist on this matter. The NACC determined there was no intentional concealment, yet the Constitutional Court previously ruled that actual nominee usage did occur, resulting in Sakdi's forced resignation from the cabinet.

This contradiction creates a perception of double standards in public opinion, which is precisely why PM Anutin must firmly deny any involvement. While claiming that personnel and workload are now balanced might be a reasonable administrative explanation, politically it represents "risk mitigation." If Anutin were to bring Sakdi back, the situation would instantly reverse. The opposition or even Senate members could weaponize the Constitutional Court's ruling, asking how someone previously deemed unqualified could return to ministerial position. The attack would then shift from Sakdi himself to whoever appointed him.

What starts as one person's issue could cascade into a government-wide crisis. Therefore, Anutin's stance of "no involvement" is essentially cutting off the fire at its source. His reiteration that opposition and Senate submissions to the NACC are their constitutional right further signals that this issue remains volatile and could be resurrected at any time.

While the NACC's decision technically means Sakdi hasn't lost his political eligibility, practically speaking, his reappointment as minister is not straightforward. The original Constitutional Court ruling still looms like a shadow. Should there ever be a political move to override this, the full risk wouldn't fall on Sakdi alone—it would squarely land on PM Anutin, who could face impeachment. This isn't simply about whether to appoint him or not, but whether the risk is worth taking. Based on Anutin's current stance, the answer is clearly no.

Editorial – Clean Air at a Crossroads

Thailand's Clean Air Bill faces a critical decision on May 5th when the cabinet votes on advancing the legislation, with the outcome serving as a test of the government's commitment to tackling the persistent PM 2.5 pollution crisis. Grassroots campaigns involving over 26,500 citizens have pushed for genuine solutions rather than cosmetic policies, expressing skepticism born from years of failed promises and temporary measures. The bill, supported across political lines, represents a potential breakthrough in managing air quality through comprehensive controls on burning, budgeting, and technology, but only if the government can secure cabinet approval and maintain legislative momentum.

3 May Khaosod

The Clean Air Bill draft stands at a political crossroads. The cabinet's decision on May 5th is more than just legal procedure—it will reveal whether the Srettha Thavisin government is serious about tackling the PM 2.5 air pollution crisis that Thai society has long demanded action on. Grassroots networks submitting petitions to parliament reflect growing pressure from ordinary citizens, with calls for a "genuine version, not a greenwashed one," expressing distrust in policies that might only create a facade without solving the actual problem.

Air pollution is not merely an environmental issue but a complex problem intertwined with resource management, agriculture, industry, and cross-border cooperation. The government's confirmation through committees that the bill can return to parliament by May 12th is a positive signal, yet insufficient to reassure society. Years of repeated discussions about PM 2.5 have been accompanied by multiple task forces, only to cycle back to treating symptoms rather than root causes.

The opposition has signaled readiness to support the bill if the government moves forward, indicating that clean air is not a political game but a national agenda requiring all parties' commitment. However, public calls will ring hollow if the executive fails to pass the cabinet resolution on May 5th. The bill's essence lies in providing tools to prevent and reduce pollution sources—from controlling burning to budget allocation and new technology deployment—but without enforcement mechanisms, it merely offers false hope.

Allowing the bill to lapse due to administrative delays would damage public confidence in the political system, as this draft emerged from collaborative pushes by multiple sectors, including over 26,500 citizens. While government leadership has acknowledged clean air as a fundamental right, society cannot trust words without concrete results.

May 5th will be the government's moment of truth: will it stand with public health or squander another critical opportunity? If this bill fails to advance, it amounts to abandoning years of collective effort and crushing public hope. Society watches closely, hoping the government will choose the right path.

Commando Boyfriend Clarifies He Has Only One Wife After Female Officer's Hotel Incident with Male Officer

3 May Khaosod

A police commando clarifies recent media reports containing inaccuracies regarding an incident on February 18th in which a female police officer from the Metropolitan Police Bureau was taken to a curtained hotel on Khlong Prapa Road by a male officer from Pak Kret Police Station. After the female officer sent a distress message to her mother, the commando boyfriend discovered the situation, tracked down the male officer's phone number, and confronted him, resulting in the male officer bringing the female officer out of the hotel and dropping her at a department store on Si Saman Road instead. The commando subsequently filed a complaint against the male officer on February 19th, but when the case stalled, he decided to go public with the story. Media reports then suggested that both the commando and the male officer already had wives, and when the story aired, both wives learned the truth and prepared to file adultery lawsuits. The commando has now come forward to clarify that earlier media reports contained errors, stating that he has only one wife: the female police officer who was the victim in this incident.

Doctors Warn: Late Nights, Heavy Drinking, and Sex Carry Greater Risks Than You Think

Vietnamese medical experts warn that combining late nights, heavy alcohol consumption, and sexual activity poses serious health risks including stroke, heart attack, and severe injuries. The warning emphasizes that excessive alcohol impairs sexual function in both men and women while disrupting sleep patterns further damages sexual health. Doctors recommend balanced lifestyles, adequate foreplay, and consistent condom use to mitigate these dangers.

3 May Khaosod

Doctors warn that late nights combined with heavy alcohol consumption and sexual activity carry greater health risks than commonly realized, and recommend behavioral changes for better health.

According to a foreign media report, Dr. Pham Minh Ngoc, deputy director of the Sexual Medicine Center in Hanoi, Vietnam, has revealed that drinking alcohol to "stimulate mood for sexual activity" can have worse effects than expected when consumed in excess.

In men, alcohol may disrupt nerve signals from the brain to sexual organs, causing erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Women may experience reduced sexual arousal, vaginal dryness, and difficulty reaching orgasm.

Additionally, late nights or disrupted sleep cycles unknowingly impact sexual function. Nighttime is when the body produces testosterone, which is crucial for sexual desire and physical energy. Sleep deprivation from late-night activities may leave the body fatigued and reduce sexual desire.

Another often-overlooked risk is neglected protection. Under the influence of alcohol and momentary impulse, many people may not use condoms, leading to increased unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.

According to clinical data, doctors note that sexual activity while physically exhausted, combined with alcohol consumption and heightened alertness, may lead to serious complications.

The most concerning condition is cerebrovascular disease, especially in those with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or cerebrovascular abnormalities. Vigorous sexual activity may cause rapid heartbeat and sudden blood pressure spikes. Combined with alcohol's vasodilatory effects, this increases the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. Symptoms include sudden severe headache followed by confusion, weakness, or loss of consciousness.

There is also risk of sudden cardiac death, particularly in older men or those with coronary artery disease. Exertion after long travel or after consuming large amounts of food and alcohol may overwork the heart. Patients may experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, cold sweats, and risk cardiac arrest without timely intervention.

In women, gynecological injuries have been documented, such as deep vaginal tears from drunkenness or fatigue causing lack of natural lubrication, combined with improper force control from partners, potentially leading to severe bleeding and shock from blood loss.

To avoid these risks, doctors recommend that couples live balanced lives and understand sexual health care. They should listen to their body's signals and not force sexual frequency. If experiencing fatigue afterward, the body needs recovery time.

Sexual activity should be avoided immediately after long travel, while intoxicated, or after heavy meals, as the body is not ready for high-energy activities. Morning after adequate rest is typically more suitable.

During sexual activity, adequate foreplay should be prioritized to allow the body to adjust, reduce injury risk, and maintain appropriate rhythm. Any abnormal symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or difficulty breathing should prompt immediate cessation.

Importantly, condom use remains an effective method to reduce risks of sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy.

Urgent Warning: Do Not Collect or Eat Shellfish from Salawin River – High Lead and Pesticide Contamination Detected

Health authorities have issued an urgent warning against collecting or consuming shellfish from Salawin River in Mae Hong Son province due to dangerous levels of pesticide and lead contamination discovered in test samples. The temporary ban is especially critical for vulnerable populations including children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions. Authorities have initiated comprehensive health risk screening and will coordinate hospital testing for affected residents.

3 May Khaosod

On May 3, 2025, Phongphipat Meebenjamas, administrator of Mae Sam Laeb subdistrict in Saboei district, Mae Hong Son province, announced an urgent public advisory urging residents to temporarily avoid consuming shellfish from Salawin River. Volunteer surveillance teams had submitted samples from the river for testing, and initial results from the district research team revealed severe pesticide contamination—especially in dead shellfish—along with lead levels exceeding safety standards. Cadmium levels were within acceptable limits, and mercury was not detected.

The research team has established the following action plan:

1. Advise residents to temporarily avoid consuming shellfish from Salawin River, particularly children, pregnant women, elderly people, and those with chronic conditions such as kidney disease or cancer.

2. Request surveillance teams to collect additional shellfish samples for further testing at the Department of Medical Sciences laboratory, where tests will identify highly toxic inorganic pesticides.

3. Coordinate with local surveillance teams to conduct health risk screening. Nursing instructor Yupaaphon is currently finalizing the risk assessment form, which will then be distributed to local authorities for implementation.

4. Results from the risk screening will identify high-risk individuals. The research team will coordinate with local health centers and Saboei Hospital to collect biological samples for testing at Ramathibodi Hospital laboratory, screening for pesticides in urine and lead in blood. If contamination is detected in community members, they will be referred for appropriate medical care, and measures will be implemented to reduce future exposure to these toxins.
