On May 6, 2025, at parliament, government coalition coordinator Raveewan Parisnanantakul from Phumi Jai Thai party confirmed that the cabinet decided to continue reviewing pending bills from the previous parliament session. According to procedure, these must be brought to parliament for approval as proposed by the cabinet, with meetings expected within the following week. The coalition's deputy leader, Nikorn Chamnong, explained that the cabinet's decision not to endorse the constitutional amendment Section 256 draft stems from the government's need to address more urgent issues first, particularly the energy crisis affecting the economy and public welfare. Prime Minister Anuthuwon Chaiyuweerakul previously noted that while drafting a new constitution following the referendum result is necessary, work priorities and government problems must be properly managed. Chamnong stated the government still has time and sufficient justification to address other critical issues affecting citizens' immediate needs. He noted that the constitutional amendment process requires two additional referendums and emphasized the need to discuss budget savings with the Election Commission, potentially reducing costs from 3.5 billion baht to 1 billion baht using postal voting methods under the revised referendum law. Once the cabinet rejects the content, constitutional amendment must restart with a fresh proposal of Section 256 amendments to parliament. Chamnong advocated for prior consultation with all parties, including the Senate, to ensure consensus, noting that public hearings during the previous government revealed differing opinions, particularly on Chapters 1 and 2 amendments. He believes the government has sufficient time since Section 256 amendment requires no more than 2 years.

A British man has become the talk of the internet after undertaking an extraordinary and shocking stunt to draw public attention to men's health issues, particularly prostate cancer, which many people tend to ignore.

John Stephenson, 50, a stunt performer and martial arts expert, created a sensation by dragging a police car weighing over 2 tons down streets in a residential area of Halifax, England using his genitals as the pulling force, while astonished onlookers watched in disbelief. The performance also incorporated fire elements, adding to the shock and danger experienced by those who witnessed it.

This wasn't his first such performance—Stephenson has previously set numerous unusual records, including pulling vehicles with his body and performing other extreme feats of strength, earning him recognition among enthusiasts of unusual and superhuman displays.

Stephenson admits the task was far from easy, requiring immense patience and concentration, and causing considerable pain. Despite these challenges, he remained determined and successfully completed his objective.

He revealed that his primary motivation for this extreme performance was to encourage people to pay more attention to their health, especially prostate cancer, which typically shows no symptoms in its early stages, causing many to discover it too late.

Medical information indicates that prostate cancer is one of the most common diseases among men and a leading cause of death. However, if detected in its early stages, survival rates are very high, making screening critically important.

Beyond health awareness, Stephenson used this opportunity to raise funds for charities supporting families of children with cancer, demonstrating that this unusual stunt had deeper goals beyond mere spectacle.

While many view his actions as extreme, Stephenson believes this is an effective communication method that captures public attention on important health issues. He hopes his actions will encourage men to take better care of their health.

However, despite the widespread attention and positive health awareness goals, such behavior carries extremely high risks and can cause serious physical harm and should absolutely not be imitated. Proper self-care should begin with regular health checkups, exercise, and careful monitoring of any bodily irregularities to prevent disease safely and sustainably.

Foremost, Thailand's market leader in milk products, continues to strengthen its position as a children's nutrition expert with the launch of 'Foremost Omega Smart Super Gold' (Foremost Omega Smart Super Gold), a premium UHT milk formula specifically developed for learning-age children. The product raises the standard of ready-to-drink milk with world-class technology and over 24 essential nutrients, focusing on brain development support and building a strong immune foundation to prepare children for future global changes.

Vibhas Pavarojkij, Managing Director of Friesland Campina (Thailand) Public Company Limited, explained the development direction and goals: "In a rapidly changing world, Foremost is committed to building the future foundation for Thai children through good nutrition. We are not just a milk producer, but a 'thinking partner' that brings world standards from the Netherlands and combines deep understanding of Thai children to create readiness for learning and keeping pace with the new era."

The success behind Super Gold formula stems from in-depth research and development by the R&D team, which discovered that over 50-60 percent of Thai children receive DHA below recommended standards. Foremost applied Micro-Encapsulation technology to solve the problem of DHA clumping and difficult digestion in the stomach. This innovation allows DHA to disperse finely, resulting in 8 times faster absorption by the body and a high concentration of 30 milligrams per serving—an important nutrient found in 20 percent of brain and retinal cells.

Additionally, this is the first time a children's UHT milk combines 2'-FL (2'-Fucosyllactose), a natural prebiotic fiber commonly found in breast milk that acts as a 'pathogen trap' to prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to intestinal walls. Combined with GOS that balances beneficial microbiota and strengthens immunity from within, it supports normal digestive function and builds a ready body for daily learning.

Presenter couple Phuttha-Phutthichai and Chui-Waruttaya Nilkhuha shared their experience caring for their daughter: "The heart of parenting is making children happy and ensuring their bodies are ready for learning. Proper nutrition is what parents can be most confident about. Having Foremost Omega Smart Super Gold as a helper addresses child care needs in this era perfectly—supporting both brain and immunity so children feel confident exploring new things and growing fully every day."

"Foremost Omega Smart Super Gold" is ready to become part of good nutrition support and bring the power of happiness to children's potential.

On May 6, 2025, Rachen Silparaiya, director of the Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation Department, traveled to Phitsanulok Province to implement policy directives and accelerate cloud seeding operations in the region and neighboring provinces. On this auspicious day, Rachen visited Wat Rajaboorana in Muang District, Phitsanulok Province, to pay respects to Phra Kru Siddhitham Wibat, the temple's revered abbot, and received sacred blessings. This spiritual visit followed a similar blessing ceremony recently conducted by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and his wife with the same venerable monk.

In addressing the abbot, Rachen revealed that he submitted his resignation from civil service on April 29 to uphold civil servant dignity and refuse political interference, stating he remains loyal to the Thai Crown. During media interviews regarding drought conditions and rainmaking efforts, Rachen explained that over the next 2-3 months, El Niño weather patterns will bring extended dry periods. He noted that May through early June represent a critical window to conduct cloud seeding operations in areas with sufficient atmospheric moisture. Currently, 5-6 rainmaking bases operate nationwide, with Phitsanulok and Nakhon Sawan newly activated to serve the public and replenish water supplies.

When asked about drought duration projections, Rachen stated that El Niño is expected to cause an 18-month drought period, currently in its early stages with more severe conditions anticipated in two months. The department is targeting all suitable areas with adequate atmospheric conditions for seeding operations, reviewing all requests through social media channels and other sources to deploy aircraft wherever feasible.

Deputy Permanent Secretary Raveevan Phuridej of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment chaired the second 2026 meeting of the National Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization Committee (NBCUC), following an assignment from Natural Resources Minister Suchati Chomklin. The committee included over 60 experts and officials serving as vice chairs and secretariat members.

The NBCUC approved a draft Biodiversity Act to be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration as comprehensive legislation for managing the country's biodiversity. It also endorsed nominating Doi Inthanon National Park as Thailand's 11th ASEAN Heritage Park, tasking the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation with Cabinet approval before forwarding to the ASEAN Centre on Biodiversity for processing through ASEAN mechanisms.

Additionally, the committee approved a registry and measures to prevent, control, and eliminate 31 invasive alien species, including high-priority species. The committee provided recommendations on the Bangkachaojao Biodiversity Learning Area project to promote education, tourism, and bioeconomy development at the local level. It also approved restructuring four sub-committees under the NBCUC to implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework for concrete results.
