Going Viral! Bride and Groom Set Up Wrestling Ring at Wedding, Loser Does Housework

A Chinese couple replaced their traditional wedding reception with a wrestling ring, staging matches where the losing team must handle household chores—with the bride ultimately defeating the groom in a dramatic finale.

9 May Khaosod

A bride and groom in Quanzhou, Guangdong Province, China created an unforgettable wedding by setting up a wrestling ring in the middle of their reception and staging an intense match with the rule that the losing team must handle household chores in the future.

Videos from inside the event showed wrestlers competing fiercely with throws, locks, and intense grappling that captivated guests throughout the performance. Many watched intently without blinking, and even children stood holding rice bowls while eating, drawn in by the electric atmosphere.

Groom He explained that the wedding took place on May 5th. During planning, he discovered wedding costs significantly exceeded their budget. As a professional wrestler wanting to promote wrestling, which is still viewed as a niche entertainment, he consulted his bride and received her full support.

"Our expenses far exceeded expectations," he said. "Since I already work in entertainment—wrestling—I thought with this amount of money I could organize multiple wrestling shows instead. It made more sense to create something original with a wrestling performance at our wedding rather than spend unnecessarily on traditional arrangements. My wife fully supported the idea."

He brought the wrestling ring used for touring performances to replace the traditional wedding stage. All wedding activities, including welcomes and guest entertainment, took place on the wrestling ring, while certain ceremonies like vows, toasts, and ring exchanges were shortened to make room for the wrestling show.

The highlight came after the opening ceremony when the couple posed the question: "After marriage, who will do the housework?" before dividing guests into teams for best-of-three wrestling matches, with the losing team assigned future household duties.

Toward the end of the competition, the bride performed a spectacular shoulder throw, slamming the groom to the ground amid cheers from all the guests. The groom joked afterward: "In the end, I lost anyway. How could I make her do the housework?"

After the video went viral, countless netizens commented that it was a strange, fun, and memorable wedding. The groom expressed joy that beyond making guests happy, he also helped people understand and appreciate wrestling more.

Major Arrest in Ramkhamhaeng Condo: Chinese Organized Crime Figure Caught Money Laundering in Massive 16 Billion Baht Scam

Chinese organized crime figure Chen Tao arrested in Bangkok condo for laundering money through shell companies in a 1.6 billion baht fraud scheme targeting a Chinese bank.

9 May Khaosod

On May 9, 2569, Pol. Lt. Gen. Songpruet Sirisucha, Commander of the Immigration Bureau Region 3, along with Deputy Commander Pol. Col. Chinwut Tangwonglert and Inspector Pol. Col. Suriya Puangsambat led an investigation team to arrest Mr. Chen Tao, 57, a key suspect wanted most urgently by the People's Republic of China.

Following a request from Beijing, Thai authorities targeted Mr. Chen Tao for concealing and hiding assets obtained through criminal activity. An arrest warrant was issued by the Lanzhou Public Security Bureau with damages valued at approximately 3,222 million yuan (1.6 billion baht).

Pol. Lt. Gen. Songpruet stated that the suspect was involved in defrauding a bank and laundering money through shell companies. Investigators discovered the suspect entered Thailand on November 11, 2568, on a PE visa. He had provided multiple false addresses to conceal his actual residence. Officers arrested him at a condominium in the Ramkhamhaeng area and revoked his visa as a foreigner with a criminal record deemed a threat to society.

The suspect had hired someone else to rent the room under their name as a cover. During arrest, officers discovered a second passport—a Vanuatu passport—believed to be used for identity concealment, as China had already revoked his Chinese passport. The suspect is a core leader who directly commands operations both domestically and internationally.

The Immigration Bureau confirmed its continued commitment to combating transnational organized crime and will not allow Thailand to serve as a haven for criminals, ensuring public safety and protection of property.

Shocking Revelation: 'Tray Scott' Breaks Down, Discloses Sexual Abuse by Own Older Brother, Mother Sues Over Inheritance

A man identified as 'Tray Scott' publicly disclosed decades of sexual abuse by his older brother in an emotional video, revealing his family knew but offered no support; his mother has since sued him over inherited assets and branded him un

9 May Khaosod

The revelation by 'Tray Sirinath Scott' has shocked many after he released an emotional video confession, disclosing long-suppressed trauma and announcing he no longer wants to be known as the 'Lion Heir' due to the pain he has endured from family members and his solitary struggle for justice over many years. He admitted to being repeatedly sexually abused by his older brother during his teenage years, and revealed that all family members knew about it after hearing a recorded confession. Most recently, his mother has sued him over inherited assets and branded him an 'ungrateful child' for speaking out about what his older brother did, causing him to break down emotionally in the video. Through his Facebook account 'Tray - Merman Ψ,' he stated: 'I don't want anyone calling me the Lion Heir anymore because people don't know that... (cries) my older brother sexually abused me. He didn't do it just once, but many times when I was a teenager, and everyone in my family knows because they heard the tape with his confession. No adult in my life helped me. I had to do everything myself because I had no choice. I'm turning 30 this year and I've never received justice in this matter, no matter who in my family or relatives I asked for help. This year my mother sued me to take away the assets my grandfather left me. She calls me ungrateful for telling everyone what my older brother did. When I sought help from family elders, they told me to apologize to my mother. I don't know what to do anymore. I know I can't live this way. I cannot stay with people in my family or clan who don't see my worth as a human being or show me any compassion. I'm sorry for causing everyone stress, but I cannot live with these people or this kind of life (cries heavily).'

Former Spokesperson Confident Thaksin Will Use Sentence Remission for Family Time, Not Revenge

Former Thai for Thais Party spokesperson Prompong Nopradit expressed confidence that 76-year-old former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will use his May 11 sentence remission to spend time with family rather than seek revenge, despite ongoing opposition from some activists. Nopradit criticized those blocking reconciliation and urged Thai society to forgive and move forward after two decades of conflict, noting Thaksin's past experience managing the country and helping ordinary citizens could still benefit Thailand.

9 May Khaosod

On May 9, 2025, former Thai for Thais Party spokesperson Prompong Nopradit stated that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is set to receive a sentence remission on May 11, but some activists and groups continue to oppose it.

Nopradit noted that these same groups previously urged Thaksin to return to Thailand and face the justice system. After Thaksin complied, proceeded through all legal channels, and served two prison terms, they remain unsatisfied. The Justice Minister has clarified that the remission process follows proper procedures and does not violate political speech restrictions.

He argued that Thai society has been trapped in conflict for over 20 years because some people harbor grudges and refuse forgiveness. At 76 years old, Thaksin has followed all regulations without resistance, even accepting an electronic monitoring bracelet. Nopradit questioned what activists expect and urged society to forgive, move forward, and let go of past grievances.

Nopradit emphasized that during Thaksin's time abroad, business leaders and politicians frequently consulted with him, reflecting his continued influence. He noted that Thaksin's experience managing large international corporations and relationships with global leaders could benefit Thailand's future direction.

He expressed confidence that a 76-year-old man with seven grandchildren would prefer spending time with family rather than plotting revenge. He stated that Thaksin, who has forgiven those who threatened his life, would not seek vengeance. Nopradit called on those spreading doubts to stop and urged Thai society, as a forgiving society, to let go of what can be released.

Nopradit announced he would join red-shirt supporters in welcoming Thaksin's return on May 11, while emphasizing that only Thaksin or his family could clarify his future role. However, he noted that many people still remember Thaksin's policies—such as the 30-baht healthcare program, village funds, drug suppression, and systematic solutions to poverty—that directly benefited ordinary citizens and represented practical democracy.

Hormones Change, Skin Changes! Women Over 40 Restore Their Glow with Hyaluronic Acid-Infused Wrinkle Cream

Hormonal shifts during menopause cause visible skin damage in women over 40, but dermatologists recommend hyaluronic acid serums and wrinkle creams to restore moisture, reduce fine lines, and revive youthful radiance.

9 May Khaosod

Entering your 40s brings noticeable changes to the body—mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia—but the most visible and stressful change for many women is skin deterioration. No matter how much you care for your skin, results seem to pale compared to your younger years. Every mirror glance reveals fine lines, sagging, and dryness that makeup can barely conceal.

The culprit isn't just age itself, but hormonal shifts signaling the approach of menopause. Understanding how menopausal hormones damage skin and finding ways to restore youthful radiance is key.

Why Does Menopause Damage Skin?

Rapid skin changes in women over 40 stem from declining estrogen levels—the hormone often called a fountain of youth. When estrogen drops, several things happen:

Collagen and elastin deteriorate: Previously firm, elastic skin becomes saggy with weakened structure. Nasolabial folds and crow's feet become more pronounced. Skin loses moisture: Reduced oil gland activity causes dryness, flaking, and loss of radiance. Cell turnover slows: Skin appears dull and uneven; dark spots and hyperpigmentation deepen.

As skin weakens, the skincare routine that worked in your 20s and 30s no longer delivers results. Women over 40 need more powerful, targeted solutions.

Revive Dull Skin with Hyaluronic Acid

Dermatologists and skincare experts worldwide recommend hyaluronic acid for women over 40—a naturally occurring moisturizer in skin that decreases with age. Its remarkable ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water makes it transformative. Adding hyaluronic acid plumps dehydrated skin, fills fine lines, and restores a smooth, luminous appearance—making it essential for preserving youthful skin.

The Must-Have 2-Step Skincare Routine for Women Over 40

For optimal results, a double-action skincare approach is essential:

1. Prime Your Skin with Serum After cleansing, apply a serum with pure hyaluronic acid. Its small molecular size penetrates deeply and quickly, stimulating collagen production and hydrating from within.

2. Lock in Moisture with Wrinkle Cream Follow with a wrinkle cream containing hyaluronic acid and lifting actives. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss while nourishing dehydrated skin back to softness.

Government Pushes 'Old-for-New Vehicle' Program to Support Electric Truck and Public Transport Fleet Upgrades

The Thai government is preparing to submit a 'Vehicle Trade-In' program to cabinet that would incentivize truck and public transport operators to switch to electric vehicles, reducing emissions from the transport sector. The initiative is part of broader digital government policy aimed at modernizing Thailand's logistics infrastructure through a new centralized Transport Management System (DLT-TMS). The program also includes revisions to fare calculations and the expansion of the Truck Service Quality Mark certification to improve overall transport efficiency and international competitiveness.

9 May Khaosod

The government is preparing to submit a 'Old-for-New Vehicle' program to cabinet for approval, aimed at incentivizing truck and public transport operators to adopt electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce pollution from the transport sector.

On May 9, Deputy Government Spokesperson Lalida Perchvivattana announced that the government, through the Ministry of Transport, is advancing Thailand's road transport and logistics systems under a Digital Government policy. This involves leveraging information technology to develop modern, convenient, safe, and increasingly efficient transport management systems, designed to enhance the competitiveness of Thailand's logistics sector and support sustainable economic growth.

A key initiative is the development of the DLT-TMS (Transport Management System) by the Department of Land Transport, which will serve as a centralized database for road transport. This enables operators to use data for transport planning, cost reduction, and service quality improvement to meet international standards. Simultaneously, the government can analyze data to formulate accurate cargo transport policies and identify opportunities to improve national transport efficiency and cost structures.

The government is also preparing to revise freight rate and fare calculation formulas to reflect actual costs while tackling 'empty truck trips' through transport management data, ultimately reducing logistics costs and improving service efficiency.

Looking ahead, the government will propose a 'Vehicle Trade-In Program' for trucks and public transport buses for cabinet consideration, to encourage operators to transition to electric vehicles, promote environmentally-friendly transport, and reduce transport sector pollution. This effort will be coupled with pushing the Truck Service Quality Mark (Q Mark) standard, which currently certifies 462 operators managing over 64,000 trucks.

"The DLT-TMS system will help operators, particularly SMEs, access crucial transport data, reduce costs, and boost competitiveness," the spokesperson said. "The government will continue advancing digital logistics to elevate Thailand's transport system to international standards and support the modern economy."
