Lucky Numbers Buzz at Wat Chainawat Cremation Ceremony in Suphan Buri—Lottery Frenzy Over 'Lucky Digits'

Lottery enthusiasts descended on Wat Chainawat temple in Suphan Buri for the inauguration of a new eco-friendly crematorium on May 10, which doubled as a lucky number-hunting opportunity. A test cremation for a 109-year-old man sparked interest in numbers 492, 83, and 109, leading crowds to buy out lottery vendors inside the temple for the May 16 draw. The ceremony, funded with 2 million baht, combined traditional Buddhist practices with the popular Thai custom of seeking lucky numbers from auspicious occasions.

On May 10, Udom Prongfah, chairman of the Suphan Buri Provincial Administration Organization, led an incense and candle lighting ceremony at Wat Chainawat in Mueang District to inaugurate a new pollution-free crematorium, funded with 2 million baht from the provincial administration. The temple held a test cremation for a 109-year-old man named Kluay, with participants writing wishes for the removal of suffering, sorrow, sickness, and hardship on papers placed in the coffin. After the ceremony, Udom and community members paid respects to a statue of the late Luang Pho Thom, the temple's former abbot. Attendees then sought out lucky numbers: 109 (the deceased's age) and 492 and 83 (derived from the coffin lid), creating such a frenzy that lottery vendors sold out their inventory within the temple grounds as everyone rushed to buy tickets for the May 16 lottery draw.

Timeline of Thaksin's Sentence: From Imprisonment to Supervised Probation Release

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been approved for his second sentence suspension after serving eight months of his remaining one-year prison term. The approval comes after a Supreme Court ruling in September 2024 that reversed his earlier suspension and ordered him back to prison. Thaksin must now wear an electronic monitoring bracelet and comply with strict probation conditions until his sentence fully expires on September 9, 2025.

11 May Khaosod

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been sentenced to a total of eight years imprisonment across three court cases. He returned to Thailand on August 22, 2023, and entered the judicial process that same day, but was admitted to the 14th floor of Police Hospital after falling ill that night. On August 31, 2023, the Royal Gazette published a royal pardon reducing his sentence to one additional year. On February 18, 2024, Thaksin was granted his first sentence suspension, meeting the criteria as a prisoner over 70 years old with serious health conditions, and was released to his home at Baan Chan Songhlai.

However, this first suspension led former Democrat Party MP Chaiyachai Isaraenatrakul to file a petition with the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders, requesting an investigation into the enforcement of the sentence. The court conducted inquiries into all relevant parties, including Department of Corrections officials and medical personnel. On September 9, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that the time Thaksin spent recovering at Police Hospital would not count toward his sentence, ordering him back to Khlong Prem Central Prison to serve the remaining one-year term.

Thaksin has now served eight months of his court-ordered sentence, meeting the two-thirds requirement for another sentence suspension consideration. The Justice Ministry's Sentence Suspension Committee has approved his second probation suspension under stricter conditions: he must wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet at all times, participate in a supervised probation program with strict reporting requirements, and is prohibited from traveling outside designated areas without permission until his sentence expires completely on September 9, 2025.

Arsenal Maintains Title Contention After Dramatic Victory Over West Ham

Arsenal maintained their Premier League title lead with a dramatic 1-0 victory over West Ham on May 10, secured after VAR ruled out a late West Ham goal for a handball offense in the penalty box.

10 May Khaosod

Arsenal claimed three vital points that improved their chances of capturing the Premier League title after visiting West Ham United in the London Derby, a dramatic encounter that required VAR's intervention during the closing stages of the English Premier League 2025-26 season on May 10. West Ham United opened their doors at the London Stadium to welcome Arsenal. From the opening nine minutes, Arsenal nearly broke through when Declan Rice sent a corner from the left flank to the far post where Leandro Trossard jumped and headed, only to see Mads Hermansen deflect it away. West Ham's defense cleared the ball but it returned to Trossard, whose shot struck the post. In the 22nd minute, Rice launched a free kick from the left wing into the box where Ricardo Calafiori nodded and nearly beat the goalkeeper, but Konstantinos Mavropanos intervened with his foot to deny the attempt. In the 45th minute, Aaron Wan-Bissaka received the ball on the right flank and sent it into the penalty area for Valentín Castellanos, whose powerful shot was brilliantly saved by David Raya, keeping the score 0-0 at halftime.

In the second half at the 75th minute, West Ham had a brief chance when Jarrod Bowen controlled the ball and cut inward on the right side of the penalty box before crossing, but the ball deflected toward goal and Raya had to tip it away. In the 78th minute, Matheus Fernandes received the ball and clashed with Pablo, allowing Fernandes to enter a wide-open penalty area, but his shot was superbly blocked by Raya's positioning. In the 83rd minute, Martin Ødegaard created space and passed to Leandro Trossard, who fired past the block of a West Ham player, sending the ball into the net to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead.

In the 90th+5 minute, a dramatic moment unfolded when West Ham earned a corner from the right flank. Jarrod Bowen crossed into the box and Arsenal failed to clear, allowing Callum Wilson to fire a shot that appeared to cross the goal line. However, the referee consulted VAR and determined that Pablo had used his arm to block David Raya's jump for the ball in the six-yard box, ruling it a foul. West Ham was denied the goal, and Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory.

After 36 matches, Arsenal increased their points to 79 and maintained their lead, sitting five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, though Arsenal has played one more match. West Ham remained on 36 points in 18th place, desperately fighting to avoid relegation. This result left only two teams in the drop zone—West Ham and 17th-place Tottenham Hotspur—as 15th-place Nottingham Forest and 16th-place Leeds United held a 7-point advantage over West Ham, but West Ham had only two remaining matches to play.

Other results: Burnley drew with Aston Villa 2-2, Crystal Palace drew with Everton 2-2, and Nottingham Forest drew with Newcastle United 1-1.
