The Asian Road Racing Championship 2026 Round 2 finals took place on Sunday, May 10, drawing intense attention from Thai motorsports enthusiasts.

The SuperSport 600cc (SS600) class continued to be the highlight of every round, with this race featuring 12 laps of competition as usual. Experienced Thai rider "Tee" Anupap Samuul from Yamaha Thailand Racing Team, piloting YZF-R6 number 500, started from grid position 2 with a solid start.

The race unfolded similarly to Saturday's first race, with "Tee" launching an aggressive attack in the final three laps to take the lead before playing it safe in the final corner to preserve maximum championship points. He crossed the finish line in second place with a total time of 20 minutes and 2.226 seconds, just 0.130 seconds behind the winner. This was enough to secure both podium finishes, keeping his championship hopes bright with 60 points and narrowing the gap to the championship leader to just 12 points after four races into the season.

In the Asia Production 250cc class, which ran 10 laps, rising Thai star "Idea" Kritpat Khuankham, number 39 from Yamaha Thailand Racing Team, showed dominant form. Despite engine restrictions, he led wire-to-wire on his YZF-R3 to secure victory with a total time of 18 minutes and 41.804 seconds.

Meanwhile, "Gus" Theeranaiy Thabtim, a rising talent and teammate number 36, started from grid position 12 and charged hard, contending for a podium finish until the final corner in a photo finish situation before crossing in fifth place, 6.732 seconds behind the winner.

After four races across the first two rounds of the Asia Production 250cc class, "Idea-Kritpat" maintains championship contention with three victories and 86 points, while "Gus-Theeranaiy" sits eighth with 27 points.

The next round of the Asian Road Racing Championship 2026 will take place June 12-14 at the Mobility Resort Motegi circuit in Japan.

Phetchabun province experienced another severe summer storm on May 10, 2025, marking the second consecutive day of extreme weather. Strong winds and heavy rainfall battered the Sadieng and Nangua subdistricts of Mueang Phetchabun, causing widespread damage to homes and buildings that officials are still surveying. The storm toppled several large eucalyptus trees, including one that brought down seven electrical poles along the Saraburi-Lom Sak road, resulting in power outages across much of Phetchabun Municipality. Traffic lights went out, prompting authorities to deploy traffic cones for safety management. Fortunately, no injuries or property damage directly resulted from the pole collapses. Provincial electricity officials worked through 6:00 PM to restore power to affected areas, while machinery and equipment have been prepared to replace the damaged high-voltage poles the following day.

In Thai League football on May 10, 2026, the final match of the season highlighted action at Thalanluan Stadium as two relegation-threatened teams faced off. Sukhothai FC earned a 3-0 home victory over Muangthong United, collecting 28 points to climb to 13th place in the standings and sending Muangthong down to 14th place with relegation to Thai League 2 next season. This ends the club's 17-season consecutive run in the top flight following their promotion in 2009, during which they won the Thai League championship four times.

Dassakorn Thonglao, the legendary former captain who wore the number 7 jersey for Muangthong United and now serves as a staff coach and assistant trainer for the 2025/26 season, posted a brief message on social media stating "We will be back" following Muangthong's 0-3 defeat to Sukhothai, which resulted in the club's relegation from Thai League 1 to Thai League 2 this season.

On the morning of May 10, 2025, Siam Rayong rescue personnel received a call about a young woman whose gold ring had fallen into a drainage pipe near Nong Faep morning market in Muang District, Rayong Province. Upon arrival, they found the distraught 30-year-old woman standing outside the market, explaining that her 2-baht gold ring—worth over 30,000 baht—had fallen into the approximately 1-meter-deep drainage pipe.

Rescue workers fashioned a wire hook in an L-shape to fish out the tissue bundle and ring from the pipe. The task proved challenging as the tissue paper became tangled and waterlogged, while the scorching heat left the rescue workers drenched in sweat. Market vendors gathered around, anxiously watching and cheering on the team as they worked to retrieve the ring. Due to the small opening of the drainage pipe cover, rescuers had to bend down and carefully locate the tissue paper. After about 10 minutes of effort, they successfully pulled the tissue-wrapped gold ring from the pipe, prompting tears of joy from the ring's owner, who expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

The woman explained that she had ridden her motorcycle to the market to shop. After completing her purchases, she reached into her pocket to get money to pay the vendor, and tissue paper came out along with her wallet. She threw away the tissue but didn't realize her gold ring was wrapped inside it. As she was leaving the market, she accidentally kicked the tissue bundle into the drainage pipe. When she realized what had happened, she panicked, crying in fear that the water would sweep the ring away. Market merchants immediately notified rescue personnel for assistance.
