Gunmen disguised as women wearing hijabs opened fire on a police officer and his family outside a school in Pattani province on Monday afternoon, killing the officer's wife while she was holding their infant child inside the vehicle.

The attack took place at around 15:30 near Prasan Wittaya Foundation School in Pong Sta subdistrict of Yarang district.

Police said four attackers dressed in women's clothing and wearing hijabs arrived on two motorcycles before pulling alongside the victims' car and opening fire.

The injured officer was identified as Pol. Snr. Sgt. Maj. Adul Hayeesulong of Yaring Police Station. His wife, Fatimoh Ya-ngoh, a teacher at the school, was killed at the scene while holding their baby in the car.

Authorities said the couple had travelled to the school to pick up their child when the attack occurred.

Security forces rushed the wounded officer to hospital and sealed off the area while launching a manhunt for the suspects. Checkpoints were also set up across nearby areas to prevent further attacks and track down those responsible.

The Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 Forward Command strongly condemned the attack, describing the gunmen's actions as "inhumane" and contrary to religious principles.

Officals said the incident had deeply shocked local residents, particularly because a woman and infant child were present during the shooting.

Suchart opens 2026 National Community Forest Day, promoting the concept 'Creating Happiness, Creating Income, Creating the Future' with a target of developing over 12,000 community forests nationwide into a sustainable green economic foundation.

On May 25, 2026, at the Naval Seamanship Center in Chonburi Province, Suchart Chomklin, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, chaired the opening of the 'National Community Forest Day' for 2026 under the theme 'Community Forest Based Wellness: Community Forests Creating Happiness, Creating Income, Creating the Future.'

Chonburi Governor Narit Niramayavongs and MP Anant Pridasutchit welcomed the event, which was attended by Dr. Raweevan Puridech, Permanent Secretary of the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, along with executives from related agencies, government officials, Royal Forest Department staff, and community forest network representatives.

This event aims to promote people living harmoniously with forests according to sufficiency economy principles, while elevating over 12,000 community forests to serve as a foundation for sustainable economic and environmental security nationwide.

Suchart revealed that the government, under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, prioritizes forest resource management, particularly promoting community roles in forest conservation under the 2019 Community Forest Act. Currently, there are over 12,000 community forests distributed across all regions, covering 7 million rai and benefiting over 5 million households.

This event expresses gratitude to Thailand's monarchy for establishing the foundation for forest resource conservation and development through royal initiatives, emphasizing balance between conservation and sustainable use so people can coexist with forests in accordance with sufficiency economy philosophy.

Suchart further noted that community forests serve as important carbon storage resources, helping mitigate climate change impacts and preserving natural heritage for future generations.

Royal Forest Department Director-General Nikorn Siridej stated that the department has an important mission to implement policy focusing on strengthening community forest networks and enabling them to manage resources efficiently under the 2019 Community Forest Act. Rather than merely supervising, the department acts as a 'mentor' providing academic and technical support, promoting local wisdom to add value to forest products, and ensuring community forests serve as sustainable sources of income and happiness.

Today's activities include presenting awards and certificates of honor to model community forest networks and supporting partners, distributing subsidies to community forest representatives from four regions, and awarding 'Forest Protectors, Land Lovers' recognition marks. The event features a community forest product market and demonstrations of products and services derived from community forest resources.

The Royal Forest Department and Natural Resources and Environment Ministry invite the public and all sectors to campaign for community forest conservation in their areas through tree planting, water-retaining weir construction, patrols, and firebreak maintenance to continue the royal vision and strengthen the nation's resource base sustainably.

Two young flyweight demons go head-to-head as Assadullah challenges Aslamjon for the vacant throne in The Inner Circle event this Friday, June 26. ONE Championship presents the main card of The Inner Circle on Friday, June 26, 2025 at Lumpinee Stadium (Rama Intra) for the vacant ONE Muay Thai flyweight championship (125-135 lbs) between 22-year-old Assadullah Imankasaliev from Russia and his equally young counterpart Aslamjon Ortikov from Uzbekistan. The match will be streamed exclusively for members on Live.ONEFC.com from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

With the ONE Muay Thai flyweight title vacant since 2567, the time has come for fresh blood like Assadullah, who gets his second shot at the belt, to prove his mettle against Aslamjon. Both fighters carry perfect professional records, and one must taste defeat for the first time—the victor will rightfully claim this coveted belt.

Assadullah remains undefeated with eight consecutive ONE victories. Most recently, he dominated former ONE Muay Thai bantamweight champion Nong O Hammamuaythai, stopping him in round two at ONE Lumpinee 147 in March 2025, maintaining his perfect 12-fight professional record. However, despite the victory, Assadullah missed weight and couldn't claim the flyweight title—making this his crucial second chance to overcome his opponent and ascend to the throne.

Meanwhile, Aslamjon continues his winning streak on the ONE stage, extending it to his tenth consecutive victory after a knockout finish of Colombia's Jordan Estupinán in round two at ONE Fight Night 43 in May 2025, keeping his undefeated professional record intact at 24 fights. Aslamjon has made his intentions clear, standing ready to challenge anyone in pursuit of the belt. Facing Assadullah represents another critical test he must overcome to prove himself as a true flyweight monster and undisputed champion of this division.

On May 25, 2026, Din Daeng Police received a report of assault causing serious bodily injury in front of a condominium on Ratchaprarob Soi 14, Makkasan subdistrict, Ratchathewi district, Bangkok. The incident occurred on May 24 at 6:55 PM. Officers discovered a man named Songkran lying on the road with severe head and facial wounds bleeding profusely. Good Samaritans provided first aid before he was taken to Ratchavithi Hospital. Nearby, police found Yut, 29, sitting at the scene with a blood-stained claw hammer beside him. Officers took him into custody.

During questioning, Yut claimed he had argued with Songkran, and that Songkran attacked him first using the claw hammer (approximately 33 cm long), striking his head. Yut said he fought back, punching Songkran's face multiple times, then wrestled the hammer away and struck Songkran's head repeatedly until he fell unconscious. Yut stated the argument arose because both were motorbike taxi drivers competing for passengers—Yut operates at the entrance of the soi while Songkran operates deeper inside, claiming no connection to any other disputes.

Police initially charged Yut with assault causing serious bodily injury and forwarded him with evidence to Din Daeng Police Station's investigation unit for further legal proceedings.

Sri is the mascot of Sri Trat's restaurants, whose story is told through lovingly crafted dishes at each venue. At Sri Trat, she is portrayed at the age of 42; at Burapa, as a 19-year-old girl; and at Sri Trat at Sri's Room, as a 27-year-old woman — a seamstress and an accomplished cook. While the character is fictional, she is rooted in reality, inspired by the Sri Trat owner's mother.

Located at Siam Paragon, Sri Trat at Sri's Room occupies a standalone dining space beautifully designed to evoke Sri Trat's tailoring shop, featuring Sino-Portuguese interiors and floral touches.

The menu offers a broad spectrum of Eastern Thai flavours, where "the forest meets the sea". It includes beloved classics from the original Sri Trat alongside exclusive creations available only at Sri Trat at Sri's Room, complemented by signature cocktails inspired by the music of the 1970s and 1980s.

Highlights include Nam Prik Goong Siab, a spicy Thai salad with crispy shrimp and an abundance of herbs; Lhon Pu Kai (Crab Roe Coconut Dip), a coconut milk-based herbal dip with lump crab meat, crab roe, and minced pork, served with a basket of fresh vegetables; and Baked Crab with Glass Noodles, a claypot dish of glass noodles and crab marinated in fish sauce. Those seeking something different may enjoy Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken with Cardamom, a dish exclusive to this branch.

For seafood lovers, the menu features "Jungle Soup", a fiery herbal soup with minced Asian sea bass seasoned with cumin leaves; Choo Chee Sea Bass Curry, deep-fried sea bass fillets topped with rich chu-chee curry sauce; and Betel Leaf Seabass Bite.

A clear crowd favourite is the slow-cooked pork belly, glazed in a rich blend of palm sugar and premium fish sauce, achieving a satisfying balance of sweetness, saltiness, and richness.

No exploration of Eastern Thai cuisine would be complete without chamuang. Sri Trat serves Pork Belly in Chamuang Curry, a signature sweet-and-sour stew from Eastern Thailand, prepared with pork belly and pork collar, slow-cooked with chamuang leaves and the restaurant's house curry base. For many, it is one of the defining dishes of the region.

To finish, diners can cleanse their palate with desserts such as Malva Nut Jelly with Fresh Coconut Milk, Sticky Rice Cake with Sea Salt Ice Cream, and Durian in Coconut Syrup — inventive takes on traditional Thai desserts and fruits that offer a fresh perspective on familiar flavours.

The drinks menu also enhances the experience. Cocktails such as PB to My Jelly and Sri's Lemonade, alongside mocktails including Hide the Scent and Cha-Yen, pair well with the restaurant's atmosphere.

Sri Trat at Sri's Room is located on the G Floor of Siam Paragon.

Police arrested Saravut, 29, from Chiang Pin subdistrict in Udon Thani's city district, who used a spatula knife to stab 31-year-old Ms. A, leaving severe wounds on both her arms before stealing a neighbor's motorcycle and fleeing. The incident occurred on the evening of May 24 in the Udon Thani municipal community. Police tracked him down and arrested him at his residence early the next morning. During interrogation, Saravut confessed to knowing Ms. A through Facebook for a year before they started dating. He admitted he had used methamphetamine that morning, worked a security shift, then drank heavily with friends. He called Ms. A in the evening and they argued about his jealous suspicion that she had found a new boyfriend. In his drunken state, he followed her home, and when the argument escalated, he stabbed her with a knife he carried for work, claiming he hadn't planned the attack and felt remorseful.

Ms. A revealed that she is already married with one child, with her husband currently working in Taiwan. Last year she discovered her husband communicating inappropriately with another woman, so she became lonely and decided to date Saravut. When her husband found out, she ended the affair with Saravut. Later, when she discovered her husband communicating with another woman again, she reconnected with Saravut. At first he was kind, but recently became increasingly jealous and accused her of seeking a new boyfriend, returning to her ex-husband, or finding a foreign husband. She said he called constantly the day before until she grew annoyed. He then followed her to a papaya salad shop demanding she unblock him on Facebook and tried to grab her phone. She noticed something at his back and when she resisted, he drew a knife and stabbed her. She stated that her husband in Taiwan learned of the incident through the news and called to ask for a divorce, and she is prepared to live alone and work to support their child.
