Female YouTuber Opens Up About Past Relationship with Tray Scott, Says She Finally Understands Why Love Couldn't Continue

Female YouTuber Petch (Instagram: petchz) has caught people's attention with her latest post about a past relationship she eventually revealed was with Tray Scott. The relationship was once good and comfortable, but ultimately couldn't continue, leaving her both heartbroken and confused. Only recently, after learning about the other side of his life story, has she come to understand the reasons why. She expressed sympathy for him as a fellow human, emphasizing that such situations shouldn't happen to anyone.

In her post, she reflected: "I want to share a story from last year. We had a good relationship with someone, and I gave him my heart completely. I loved who he was, loved listening when he talked about things he cared about, loved his passion for what he enjoyed. Every moment we spent together felt comfortable—like I could just float. Being around him felt at ease, without thinking about gender, status, or anything else. When the relationship reached a point where it couldn't continue, I was devastated and quite hurt. I never understood what happened, couldn't grasp why something that had been good all along suddenly felt meaningless to him. I was filled with confusion, anger, and sadness.

But when today came, after hearing and learning many things alongside everyone else, piecing the story together, I cried without knowing how I should feel. Understanding why things turned out that way, my own pain seemed small compared to everything he's been through in his life. Behind every smile, hug, warmth, kindness, silence, coldness, cruelty, joy, or sorrow, we can never truly know what someone's background is or what they've experienced. Even though we're no longer in contact, I now feel deep sympathy for him as a fellow human being. This shouldn't happen to anyone, and I hope no one else has to go through something like this."

Dr. Joe Returns to Talat Phlu, Promotes Tourism Development; Clarifies 40-Baht BTS Fare, Reaffirms No Campaign Billboards

Gubernatorial candidate Chaivatana Sathavornvijit visited his childhood neighborhood of Talat Phlu market, proposing tourism development and improved pedestrian infrastructure for the area. He clarified his BTS fare policy as distance-based (8-45 baht) rather than a flat 40-baht rate and reaffirmed his commitment to avoiding campaign billboards in Bangkok.

5d ago Khaosod

On May 14, 2025, Chaivatana Sathavornvijit, a Thai People's Party candidate for Bangkok governor, returned to Talat Phlu market—his childhood neighborhood—to meet with vendors and community members. He revealed that his campaign includes daily field visits with a team of MPs. Today's stop in Thonburi district was particularly meaningful as the birthplace of his childhood. Chaivatana stated his intention to develop Talat Phlu into a vibrant tourist destination where residents and visitors can shop and dine, aligning with Bangkok's easy-commerce agenda.

He proposed creating community-driven stories to establish the area's unique character and improve pedestrian accessibility, including covered walkways connecting key transit points and the railway area. Such improvements would encourage tourists from nearby attractions to visit the market.

Regarding the contested 40-baht BTS fare policy, Chaivatana clarified that the fare should be distance-based, ranging from 8-45 baht—a proposal his council has been developing since the previous session. He explained the structure would include combined fares for multi-leg journeys (bus-to-BTS) rather than single tickets, allowing passengers to pay one fare from origin to destination regardless of transfers. He emphasized these figures were based on realistic data and sound principles, with tax subsidies supplementing but not fully covering costs, allowing remaining tax revenue for other welfare programs.

On his no-billboard campaign pledge, Chaivatana expressed his commitment to reducing campaign billboards starting with this Bangkok election. He argued that billboards obstruct pedestrian pathways and pose accident risks. Instead, his campaign would utilize multiple communication channels including brochures, social media, vinyl and canvas materials at markets, and centralized digital billboards. He noted that Bangkok's governor position has a single ballot number, and voters familiar with the Thai People's Party can identify him through alternative channels and media.

A private sector survey reveals corruption remains a major obstacle for Thai businesses, with 89% citing it as a significant problem. The Zero Corruption Task Force identified 10 government agencies with the highest bribery rates, led by Hi

5d ago Khaosod

The Private Sector Tripartite Committee, through its Zero Corruption Task Force, has released a private sector opinion survey on transparency in government operations based on responses from 401 business executives and sector representatives nationwide between March 26 and April 10, 2025.

The survey found that corruption remains a structural crisis severely damaging Thailand's business environment. Key findings include: 89.1% of businesses view corruption as a moderate to major obstacle to operations; 51.2% believe corruption trends have worsened over the past three years; and 51% report increased difficulty in dealing with government agencies, with only 3% reporting improvement.

Direct experiences from the business sector reveal troubling patterns: 60.9% of permit applicants encountered hints or requests for compensation during their most recent application; 45.9% of companies confirmed paying money, gifts, or benefits to officials for convenience; and 37.3% acknowledged paying extra fees to win government contracts, averaging 11-15% of contract value.

Common bribe formats include cash (46.6%), gifts or entertaining (23.1%), and donations or sponsorships (18.7%). In recent bidding processes, 27.3% reported claims from individuals promising to help them win, while 27.3% received hints to use intermediaries or consultants.

Business leaders cited complex procedures (29.1%), excessive legal discretion (25.0%), and addressing procedural violations (18.8%) as main reasons for paying bribes. Alarmingly, 52.3% of businesses lack confidence in government whistleblowing channels, and 43.7% stated they "don't dare report" even when solicited for benefits.

The survey marks the first time agency-level data has been released, ranking government units by bribery risk. Highway Police and Traffic Police topped the list with a 100% rate of compensation requests (1.69 contacts annually). Other high-risk agencies included the Justice System excluding courts (94.4%), Subdistrict Administrative Organizations (91.7%), Port Authority (90.0%), and Department of Highways (82.0%). The Department of Pollution Control showed the highest average bribe amount at 102,160 baht per instance.

Great Warinthorn: Hormones Out of Balance from Not Resting Properly, Lives Daily Fighting Internal Voices

In an intimate interview, Thai actor and media personality Great Warinthorn reveals the vulnerability behind his perfect public image, sharing how his rescue cat with a severed leg became a catalyst for profound personal change. He discusses the emotional struggle of making the decision to amputate the cat's injured leg and how caring for the animal has helped him reconnect with his emotions and soften his previously rigid lifestyle focused on productivity.

5d ago Khaosod

Great Warinthorn: Hormones Out of Balance from Not Resting Properly, Lives Daily Fighting Internal Voices. In the "How are you feeling" interview, Great Warinthorn reveals another side of himself—a man who appears perfect and strong outwardly but constantly struggles with inner voices, fears, expectations, losing his beloved cat, a productivity addiction, and living without rest until he forgot to listen to his own emotions.

What happened with the cat? Great Warinthorn: When I first took him in, I didn't plan to own a cat at all. He had four legs initially. But one day, he dragged himself to my home with an injured leg. I decided to bring him inside and took him to a vet the next day. This happened during COVID, so I felt bonded to him. It was my first cat. Though I never thought I'd like cats, I ended up taking him to the vet and getting acupuncture treatments. The vet said his nerves were damaged. If left alone, he'd chew his own leg continuously, get infected, and die quickly. The solution was to amputate his leg. Cats adapt quickly, and he can live a full life, but we'd have to care for him since he couldn't hunt naturally. So I chose this solution. He became my first cat.

You love living alone—how did having another life in your home change things? Great Warinthorn: Honestly, I didn't think much about it initially. I just knew his quality of life depended on us. If we amputated his leg, we had to care for him. At that crossroads, letting him go meant he'd die quickly, but if we didn't care for him after amputation, that wouldn't be right. So I didn't overthink it—I just decided to take care of him.

How did he change your life? Great Warinthorn: I feel like I discovered the third and fourth voices within myself. I found a tenderness I never knew I needed. Interacting with a pet made me realize something—it's made me feel tired but also want to care for him the best I can. It happened naturally. Living alone, I'm introspective and self-aware. I remember when he first came, he meowed a lot. It was cute. In the early days, as his leg healed and he hopped around, I eventually realized he was adorable and talkative, very good at being affectionate. Before neutering, he'd vocalize constantly—every breath. Sometimes I couldn't concentrate on reading. If I didn't hold him, he wouldn't stop meowing. But after neutering, it's like his voice box was removed. I remember looking at his face and thinking, "Where would I find such a cute cat again?" That was my most tormented period—probably when I learned he was sick and in pain.

Your heart sinks instantly when the vet says something's wrong—does it turn your world upside down? Great Warinthorn: Yes. The most disturbing thing is seeing him suffer. These days, I do something: I wake up and meditate for 10 minutes every morning. I've been doing this for a month, and on good days, I'm okay. The moment I sensed something was wrong, that day everyone stayed home. I hadn't told my mother yet—I just told her, "Mom, I'm going to check on the cat first. He's not feeling well." But that morning, I hadn't spoken to anyone. I felt the house was chaotic. I sat alone meditating.

Ms. A exited her vehicle to coordinate with police after informing them she would bring her husband to surrender in connection with the assault and death of Ms. Joy (surname withheld), his new wife. The suspect's vehicle then reversed and parked in front of the guesthouse, where officers observed the body of Ms. Joy slumped in the front left passenger seat, already deceased.

NACC Explains Personnel Transfers and Position Rotations to Prevent Undue Influence, Plans to Add 1,500 Officials in Anti-Corruption Drive

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has implemented mandatory four-year personnel rotations and plans to expand its workforce by 1,500 officials to strengthen anti-corruption efforts. The reorganization aims to prevent concentrated power and protect officials from undue influence while addressing Thailand's declining Corruption Perceptions Index, which currently ranks 116th globally. The NACC previously had over 3,000 pending cases but has significantly reduced this backlog through accelerated proceedings.

5d ago Khaosod

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has explained its personnel transfers and position rotations for officials completing four-year tenures, aimed at preventing concentrated power and eliminating personal conflicts of interest in their work. On March 10, 2025, the Royal Gazette published new NACC regulations signed by the commission's chairman, taking effect March 4, designed to enhance transparency and improve personnel management aligned with the organization's new structure.

The Personnel Management Regulation No. 5 establishes clear duty periods: officials in director positions must be rotated after three consecutive years, while group directors and center directors must be transferred after four years. The NACC emphasized three key reasons for mandatory four-year rotations: protecting personnel and their families in provincial and regional anti-corruption work from threats and intimidation; preventing officials from misusing authority or personal relationships to benefit their work areas; and addressing historical issues where some officials transferred from the predecessor agency remained in the same regional offices, merely changing positions without actual relocation.

The commission stated that in the past, over 3,000 cases were pending, with some important cases exceeding the statute of limitations. However, the current NACC board has reduced pending cases to several hundred and established a two-year case resolution timeline with one-year extensions. Currently, the NACC has over 2,000 personnel nationwide and plans to add 1,500 more within two years to strengthen proactive operations. This expansion is crucial as corruption costs Thailand hundreds of billions of baht annually. Thailand's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index score of 33 out of 100 placed it 116th globally and 7th in Southeast Asia, prompting urgent action. The NACC stressed that the personnel transfers were conducted transparently by a multi-department committee, though some individuals may object.
