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.

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.
