Thai Diabetes Association Launches Remission Program

The Thai Diabetes Association launched an e-learning program to help type 2 diabetes patients achieve remission through weight loss and lifestyle changes, as cases in Thailand rise to approximately 6 million with 100,000-200,000 new patient

5h ago Khaosod

The Thai Diabetes Association, in collaboration with WHO-CCS NCDs, the Ministry of Public Health, and partner agencies, is expanding a model for managing type 2 diabetes remission through an e-learning program. Prof. Wanni Nithiyananth, chair of the Thai Diabetes Association, presented the DM Remission project results at Bangkok City Hall 2, aiming to develop service frameworks that help type 2 diabetes patients achieve remission in the Thai context.

According to Prof. Nithiyananth, diabetes remains a serious concern in Thailand. Physical examination surveys show prevalence increasing from 6.6% in 2004 to 10.6% in 2567-2568, with only one in three patients maintaining good blood sugar control. Behavioral changes that reduce blood sugar to non-diabetic levels without medication represent sustainable health promotion, reduce medical staff burden, lower state healthcare costs, and support WHO goals to halt rising diabetes cases and reduce premature non-communicable disease deaths by one-third by 2030.

"The key principle for achieving diabetes remission is reducing body weight by at least 10% in obese type 2 diabetes patients through appropriate dietary management combined with physical activity—both aerobic and resistance exercise—under medical supervision," Prof. Nithiyananth explained.

Assoc. Prof. Petch Rodaree, First Vice Chair of the Thai Diabetes Association, noted that diabetes cases in Thailand continue rising, with approximately 6 million current patients and 100,000-200,000 new cases annually. Without intervention, accumulating cases risk increases in diabetic kidney disease and kidney failure.

"Managing diabetes toward remission, particularly in patients within five years of diagnosis, requires strict behavioral modification through diet and exercise to achieve 10% weight loss. This restores pancreatic function and reduces insulin resistance in obese patients, addressing the disease's root cause and reducing treatment and medication expenses while improving long-term public health," Assoc. Prof. Petch said.

Assoc. Prof. Petch added that recognizing diabetes's behavioral origins, the Association recognizes that health behavior change requires multidisciplinary expertise and care system management for diabetes remission programs. This demands more patient engagement and closer monitoring than traditional treatment, necessitating information system development, staff training, Ministry of Public Health policy support, and budget allocation from the Thai Health Promotion Foundation for research projects like Eliminate DM. These efforts ensure comprehensive coverage, patient accessibility, and clinical and health economic evidence.

Dr. Kritsada Hanbanjerd, WHO-CCS NCDs consultant and chair, noted the program supported development of guidelines for diabetes remission, remote e-learning systems, and information systems tracking blood pressure, weight, diet, steps, and blood sugar levels.

Singer Disqualified From Miss Universe Khon Kaen 2026

5h ago Khaosod

The Miss Universe Khon Kaen pageant officially announced the disqualification of Bam Pailin Wongsa from the 2026 competition on July 1. The pageant limited contestant selection to just 12 candidates this year to ensure maximum preparation efficiency. According to the official announcement, Pailin's disqualification stems from discovering she had registered to compete in another province's pageant while still holding her status as a Miss Universe Khon Kaen 2026 contestant, without informing pageant organizers in advance. This violated the agreed-upon terms and conditions. The pageant stated the action was necessary to maintain order and fairness, and to give the next qualified candidate full opportunity to participate. Previously, Bam Pailin had posted about her participation in the Miss Universe Maha Sarakham 2026 competition, with pageant activities scheduled for July 2-3, 2026, and the final competition on July 4, 2026 at the Imperial Hotel Sakon Nakhon.

6h ago Khaosod

The 'Social Security Progressive' team has filed seven candidates for the social security board election representing the insured sector on July 1, 2569 at the Social Security Office in Bangkok's Din Daeng district, led by Satsatharn Thammabusadee, a current social security board member representing the insured. The seven candidates received numbers 41-47: Satsatharn (44), Phontip Mongyai (47), Chalit Ratthapanad (45), Narithda Phokhaiyanant (43), Lerngrit Laoakij (41), Praratna Phodee (46), and Thanapong Chuammuangphan (42).

Before filing, Satsatharn stated that today marks the first day of board elections and the team aims to defend their championship position while fielding seven insured-sector candidates and seven employer-sector candidates to drive social security reform. He emphasized plans for zero-based budgeting to eliminate unnecessary spending exceeding 5 billion baht and redirect funds toward enhanced benefits.

"This is the most meaningful election for us," Satsatharn said. "Two years ago, with only six votes, we couldn't achieve complete transformation. This time, we hope to secure all 14 seats—seven from the insured sector and seven from the employer sector—to truly reform social security."

Satsatharn explained that today's seven candidates represent the insured sector, while employer-sector candidates will file later due to separate account requirements. The team includes three returning board members: Satsatharn, Chalit, and Thanapong, who have championed transparency, budget oversight, and benefit reforms. Four new candidates bring expertise from media workers (over 300,000 nationwide), human rights advocacy, barista unions, and civil service representation, aiming to expand social security coverage for vulnerable and informal workers.

6h ago Khaosod

Actresses Ling Ling Kong and Om Kornnaphat have responded candidly to fan concerns about limited promotion for their series "Drawing Dreams of a Wedding Day," which has gained considerable momentum. Speaking after a press conference for the "Grab Amazing Thai Rares" campaign at Hualamphong Railway Station, both actresses acknowledged wanting more promotional opportunities and revealed that their network has listened to feedback and begun adjusting their schedule.

With two episodes aired, the series has received strong fan response. Ling Ling expressed joy, noting that the entire team is pleased with the positive feedback and that director Khun Jaew is delighted. Om agreed, saying the series turned out better than expected during production despite the physically demanding filming.

Fans have shared numerous memes, particularly from a drunken scene. When asked if Ling Ling should stay drunk every episode, she joked that it would cost her her job and urged fans to keep watching.

Regarding a romantic scene in episode two where Om's character makes the first move, she teased fans to watch and find out, noting director Khun Jaew elevated the intensity. Both actresses praised the director's work and expressed gratitude for positive comments about their acting improvements.

Addressing the scheduling controversy, Ling Ling emphasized understanding all parties involved—fans, management, and the network—and advocated for respectful communication rather than drama. She acknowledged that she felt promotion was insufficient even for their previous series and now hopes to appear on more shows when scheduling allows. The network has already begun accommodating these requests with increased appearances.

Om added that both actresses are eager to promote their work after months of intense filming. Ling Ling confirmed the network is listening and that programming has already expanded. She also committed to being more active on social media if fans wish.

Regarding their upcoming fan meeting tour starting in Khon Kaen with four stops nationwide, Ling Ling teased new atmosphere and well-selected music. Om joked about saving on accommodation by staying at Ling Ling's house.

Paipaipai Balances Racing Dreams With Entertainment Career

Entertainer Paipaipai Oreo is balancing a busy career across music, business ventures, and motorsports, with racing podium finishes as his 2026 goal while remaining open to entertainment opportunities.

6h ago Khaosod

Paipaipai Oreo isn't stepping away from entertainment—he views everything as a growing experience while dedicating himself to racing training with hopes of reaching the podium. The multi-talented entertainer appeared at The Viral Hits Love Moment Awards 2026 (Pride Month Edition) at Aksara Theatre, King Power on June 30, confirming he continues balancing entertainment work with motorsports and business operations.

He's preparing to release new music and has set his sights on podium finishes in racing competitions this year, committing to intensive training and self-improvement. At the same time, he emphasizes he hasn't closed the door on performing opportunities, remaining open to learning and developing his craft further if offered by senior professionals.

When asked if his workload remains heavy, Paipaipai explained: "I still have racing competitions and occasional event work. People think I've turned my back on entertainment to focus on racing, but I'm still accepting projects here and there. The important thing is I get to enjoy camping trips."

On managing multiple ventures, he shares: "I juggle everything. Right now I have a glamping site, products, two drink shops, event work, and music projects. I'm about to release a new song and I take things one step at a time, dividing my time accordingly."

He maintains some work-life balance: "I do have rest periods. I work about 2-4 hours, then rest. This year I want to reach the podium. Right now I'm almost at the back of the pack—still not moving forward much."

Regarding his racing training, he's intensifying his preparation: "More practice, more homework, and some physical training."

When asked if fans are worried, Paipaipai shares: "They used to worry a lot. Now I tell them wherever I need to be for good weather conditions, that's where I should be to advance quickly. I've learned new techniques—when cars collide ahead, we instinctively want to exit, but we can brake slightly and zigzag forward. I'm in my third year of racing and I've already won one award."

He's experienced accidents but views them as learning moments: "I've had incidents, but nothing that hurt my body. Car collisions are normal. (Doesn't that discourage you?) No, it's another step forward—conquering fear with courage. Once in Chiang Mai, a tire came off the rim, but I kept driving carefully. Everyone pointed at the pit crew saying I wouldn't make it, but I wanted to cross the finish line to collect points, though I did finish near the back."

On his mindset behind the wheel: "I get a little scared, but I keep pushing. Once you're at the wheel, you just feel like going forward. Go!"

For unexpected situations, he relies on instinct: "I use personal intuition. Sometimes when we go straight and cars collide ahead, we can't predict which way they'll turn, so I observe and dodge using quick thinking."

Senior racers have taught him important lessons: "They've taught me to use mindfulness—you have to control your own focus to stay on point. (So your racing isn't just about speed and fun?) They encourage me to practice and maintain mental control."

Racing has changed him significantly: "A lot. When I focus on something, I feel energized and driven forward. But behind the wheel, I'm calm. I feel I've changed inside myself—I'm much calmer. (When you get out of the car?) I go crazy. You can find clips of it if you want."

On other work opportunities: "Series work? I'm not closed to it. I'm ready to learn. If anyone gives me an opportunity, I'm prepared to learn and develop myself. Right now I'm in concert rehearsals and focusing more on business."

He doesn't see past challenges as limiting his choices: "No. Everything is an experience that helps us grow."

Woman Jailed 13 Months After Duped Into Carrying Cannabis

A Thai woman spent 13 months in a Hong Kong prison after scammers duped her into unknowingly carrying over 2 kilograms of cannabis through the airport under her name, but charges were eventually dismissed after her family and the Thai Consu

6h ago Khaosod

A 31-year-old woman named Cindy came forward on July 1, 2025, to share her cautionary story after becoming one of the victims arrested in Hong Kong. She was detained for 13 months in Hong Kong prison for cannabis found under her boarding pass name, despite having no involvement in drug trafficking.

Cindy recalled events from approximately two years earlier when a scammer, posing as a "friend of a friend," befriended her and joined her on the same trip. At the airport, the scammer used psychological manipulation, claiming their own baggage exceeded weight limits and asking Cindy to help "share the baggage weight." Trusting and believing it was normal traveler practice, she agreed to help.

Cindy explained that the scammer took her to the baggage counter personally. Exploiting her unfamiliarity with the process, the scammer used her boarding pass to scan and add an extra bag to her account. This made the airline system register the bag under Cindy's name and legal responsibility.

When the plane landed in Hong Kong, the truth emerged during thorough baggage inspection by airport officials. Although her personal luggage contained nothing illegal, the additional bag registered to her boarding pass contained over 2 kilograms of cannabis concealed inside cocoa containers.

Just as officials grew suspicious, the actual smuggler managed to grab the bag and flee the airport. However, Hong Kong airport police caught up and apprehended the scammer. But Cindy was immediately detained because the airline system clearly showed she had loaded the bag containing the cannabis herself.

"I was terrified and confused. We had nothing in our bag, but Hong Kong authorities relied on documentary evidence linked to my name. It was a very complicated international case," Cindy said.

Her life turned upside down. She was taken to a dark detention room at the airport, then transferred to a police station, and eventually imprisoned while awaiting trial. She was denied bail.

Moreover, because her physical appearance didn't match her government documents (title), Hong Kong prison regulations required her to be held in solitary confinement, isolated from other inmates in psychiatric isolation. She had no chance to meet other Thais, faced extreme loneliness, and cried every day in fear of the potential 10-25 year sentence warned by prison officials.

Fortunately, her family, friends, and relatives in Thailand didn't give up. They gathered evidence to the best of their ability and coordinated to send documents confirming her innocence to the Thai Consulate in Hong Kong. Consulate officials visited and provided care within legal limitations, though they could not intervene in court proceedings. They could only wait for the investigation to conclude.

After battling the case and being detained for 13 months, on March 3, 2024, Cindy's lawyer delivered good news: Hong Kong prosecutors withdrew the charges and the court formally dismissed the case. All evidence, including airport CCTV footage, clearly showed she had been deceived by the scammer and was not involved.

Manager's Obsession With AI Threatens Workplace Culture

A manager's excessive reliance on an AI chatbot to make all workplace decisions has sparked debate about AI's proper role in business, with employees warning that blind trust in AI predictions harms team morale and decision-making quality.

6h ago Khaosod

The advancement of artificial intelligence technology has made work faster and more efficient, leading many organizations to adopt AI for data analysis, business planning, and decision support. However, this raises an important question: does excessive reliance on AI harm human work performance?

The issue gained widespread attention after an employee posted their experience on Reddit, describing their manager as having "AI Psychosis"—an excessive obsession with and blind trust in AI. The manager became so fixated on Anthropic's Claude AI model that they treated its answers as the final standard for all decisions and refused to listen to team members' input. The post quickly went viral online.

According to the poster, the manager would display Claude conversations during every meeting, insisting the team meet performance targets and results predicted by the AI as if those were the only correct answers, despite AI's inability to fully understand customers, market needs, or project-specific conditions.

Problems arose when work results didn't match the AI's forecasts. Instead of reconsidering AI's limitations, the manager blamed employees and repeatedly asked the AI what went wrong. Without clear answers, they concluded the problem lay with the team.

The employee acknowledged that watching their manager become increasingly dependent on AI was concerning for both the manager's mental health and the organization's atmosphere. They felt exhausted working to satisfy the AI rather than serving customers, suggesting people should sometimes step away from screens and rely more on human reasoning.

After the story spread, many social media users shared similar experiences. Several reported that executives use AI to make all decisions, from performance reviews to business strategy, diminishing experienced employees' input. Some revealed CEOs asking AI "what's wrong" with incomplete data, causing AI to generate faulty answers that prevented project approvals, froze product development for months, suspended marketing budgets, and created financial problems. Others received AI-generated reports dozens of pages long critiquing company-wide employee performance.

This sparked renewed debate about AI's workplace role. Many argue that AI should serve merely as an analytical tool supporting decisions, not replacing human experience, judgment, and understanding. Ultimately, the best decisions require both real-world data and technology working together.
