The Geological Disaster Operations Center of the Department of Mineral Resources under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has warned of landslide and flash flood risks over the next 1-2 days. The alert covers 11 provinces: Tak, Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Uttaradit, Phichit, Phetchabun, Chanthaburi, and Trat between July 6-7, 2026.

The warning specifically targets northern areas including districts such as Um Phang and Mae Sot in Tak Province, and eastern areas including Ko Chang in Trat Province, among numerous other vulnerable districts listed in both regions.

The heavy rainfall is being driven by the influence of Typhoon Maysak and a monsoon trough passing over northern Thailand and Laos, combined with a strengthening southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand. This is causing intense rainfall in several areas, particularly in the northern and eastern regions, with rainfall measurements exceeding 100 millimeters in 24 hours. Flash flooding has already begun in some areas and may trigger landslides.

Authorities are requesting volunteer monitoring networks to remain alert, continuously measure rainfall levels, and immediately report any incidents of landslides or flash floods to residents and relevant agencies, following established emergency response protocols.

During a parliamentary session on July 6, Bangkok MP Phandit Nhuam of the Pheu Thai Party addressed the Prime Minister's oversight of the anti-drug committee, raising concerns about cannabis exports to countries where it remains illegal. The legislator criticized the transformation of cannabis from an intended medical herb into an international contraband item, noting that foreign media have dubbed the PM the 'Cannabis King' for his role in deregulating the substance.

Phandit pointed out that while cannabis is legal domestically under medical grounds, it remains illegal abroad, creating customs liabilities similar to heroin smuggling cases. He argued that the liberal cannabis policy lacks accountability and questioned whether the government had fully evaluated all dimensions before implementation.

The MP challenged the PM to visit Bangkok's Asok and Nana districts, where recreational cannabis sales are reportedly widespread, contradicting claims that the policy serves only medical purposes. Phandit called for an immediate halt to non-medical cannabis flower sales, re-establishment of regulatory controls, and transparency regarding licenses granted. He also requested customs, the drug committee, the Food and Drug Administration, and police to report to parliament on cannabis smuggling cases and their connections to license holders, while protecting legitimate businesses and patients.

Dr. Boom-Panadda Vongphudee, a strong and confident 50-year-old entertainer, has undergone a personal transformation that has earned widespread compliments about her visibly improved physique. Beyond exercise and careful diet management, she recently underwent breast augmentation surgery, which she openly discussed without hesitation.

"First, I want to thank everyone who has complimented my appearance," she stated. "I've worked hard on maintaining my fitness and diet, and the results are clear. Regarding my breasts—many people have asked how I keep them looking firm as a mother of three—I want to be completely honest about this. Since I've always been straightforward and transparent, I'll clarify: yes, I recently underwent breast augmentation."

She explained that her previous breast surgery was performed 18 years ago. Like many mothers, she acknowledged that childbearing naturally affects breast shape and appearance. After much consideration and research, she decided to have revision surgery. Entertainment industry friends, particularly actress Noo Maiim-Surivipha, recommended the specialized cosmetic surgery hospital D-Aht in the Donmuang area. After consulting with surgeons Dr. Tul Nutthadon Buchakun and Dr. Kit Visrutim Tanpattanarutt, she proceeded with the procedure.

"I told the doctors I wanted my original breast size back, because I've decided not to have more children, so the shape won't change again," she explained. "I was very impressed by D-Aht Hospital—the equipment and facilities are so modern I joked with the staff about whether it was a hospital or a luxury hotel."

Her surgery included breast lift and reshaping, as well as arm contouring, abdominal work, and front and back waist refinement in areas where she had previous liposuction. The recovery has been smooth with minimal scarring and no pain. "I'm very happy with the results. Everyone compliments how beautiful I look now, which boosts my confidence even more. I feel confident wearing anything."

She concluded with advice: "Surgery isn't something you do just because you have the money. Think carefully about whether you really want it, and choose a reputable, trustworthy surgical hospital. Beauty can wait—taking time to choose well will give you excellent results. Trust me, because I only say things are good when they truly are."

On July 6, 2025, the Criminal Court on Ratchadaphisek Road held a verdict hearing in case no. 3448/2567 involving teacher Naypreecha Khrai Khruan and Ratanaphon Supathip, both accused of jointly filing false statements and lodging false reports causing harm to others. The prosecution alleged that between November 2-28, 2017, the two defendants conspired to file false information with investigating officer Lt. Jirayut Chatchrinthrakul of Kanchanaburi City Police.

The defendant claimed to have purchased five government lottery tickets (numbers ending in 726) for the November 1, 2017 draw, which he stated were missing after ticket number 533726 won the first prize. He filed a complaint and the second defendant testified as a witness. Later, defendant one claimed to have purchased five lottery tickets with winning numbers totaling 30 million baht from a third party, alleging they were stolen by victim Lt. Chruay Wimun.

The court found that in reality, on October 31, 2017, defendant one had never purchased those specific lottery tickets from defendant two. By falsely reporting these claims to police and the victim, the two defendants conspired to have an innocent person prosecuted for theft. Both were convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment.

Mexico dominated possession in the first half but created few clear chances, while England's dangerous counterattacking play paid dividends early.

However, England capitalized on a penalty kick in the 60th minute, with Harry Kane converting to extend the lead to 3-1 with just ten players. Mexico, facing a two-goal deficit, was forced to attack relentlessly. The home side earned a penalty in the 69th minute, with Raúl Jiménez scoring to narrow the gap to 2-3.

Mexico continued pressing hard in the remaining minutes, but England's disciplined defensive display held firm. The final whistle saw England secure a narrow 3-2 victory and advance to the quarterfinals, where they will face Norway on July 12, 2025 at 04:00.
