Police from Chaiyawan Station arrested a man in possession of methamphetamine after he claimed to have gout disease requiring regular drug use to walk normally. On April 27, officers led by Deputy Superintendent Ratpol Phensongkram conducted a raid on a house in Moo 4, Kham Lao Subdistrict, Chaiyawan District, Udon Thani Province, following tips about drug-related activity. A search uncovered 11 methamphetamine pills, leading to the arrest of 49-year-old Prawit. Due to his claimed gout condition, he was unable to walk and had to be carried to the police vehicle. Prawit alleged that he suffers from gout and must use methamphetamine regularly because the drug cures his condition and allows him to walk normally. Authorities have taken him into custody and are pursuing legal charges for drug possession and use, with investigations underway to expand the investigation.

A 40-ton trailer truck loaded with durians destined for China collided with a pickup truck and overturned on the roadside while crossing the border, with the driver trapped in the wreckage for over 7 hours but miraculously surviving. On April 27, rescue personnel from Sawang Nawa Nakhon Phanom rescue association, paramedics from Somdej Phra Yuppharat Nakhon Phanom Hospital, Red Cross volunteers, and personnel from Teck Ka Chee Mok Koh in Mukdahan province, along with other emergency responders, worked to rescue the 50-year-old truck driver after the collision near Ban Don Sawan in Uam Mao subdistrict, Thaen Nakhon Phanom district. The pickup truck's driver escaped unharmed after being rear-ended and running off the road, but the trailer truck driver sustained severe injuries and became trapped inside. Rescue teams deployed oxygen, ventilators, and hydraulic cutting equipment to extract the critically injured driver, a process that took over 7 hours. Remarkably, the driver retained vital signs throughout and was rushed to Somdej Phra Yuppharat Nakhon Phanom Hospital. Initial investigation suggests the truck driver may have dozed off during the lengthy journey from central Thailand to the Nakhon Phanom border region while transporting over 40 tons of durians through the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge via Khammouane, Laos, through Vietnam, and on to China.

The main event of Muay Thai Sannot Muang on Tuesday, April 28th will pit two distinctly different fighting styles against each other: "Bungfai Phikhat from Traymul Snooker Club," a polished right-stance fighter with superior ring craft and stronger fundamentals, versus "Singho Noi, student of Prapai," an aggressive left-stance fighter full of vitality, raw power, and relentless ground pressure. The match airs live on TrueVision NOW from 6:00 PM onward.

The intrigue of this matchup hinges on whether Bungfai Phikhat can use his superior technique to intercept Singho Noi's aggressive approach with kicks and strikes. Experience-wise, Bungfai Phikhat has fought on major stages and competed for titles, giving him an edge in fight reading and tactical execution, though recent form has shown slight inconsistency. Meanwhile, Singho Noi is in ascendant form with three consecutive victories, giving him high confidence and a noticeably fresher physique. Singho Noi's advantages lie in his relentless ground pressure and powerful clinch work—if he can close the distance and disrupt Bungfai's rhythm, the fight could quickly turn in his favor.

Ultimately, this bout is a clash between "refinement" and "freshness." If Bungfai Phikhat can manage distance and maintain range with superior technique as planned, he has a strong chance of grinding out a points decision. However, if Singho Noi can leverage his work rate and sustained pressure to break his opponent or catch him off-guard, he could pull off a surprise upset. This is a headliner worthy of attention that will keep fans on edge until the final round.

A frustrated vendor filed a police report after 3 kilograms of pork bones worth 450 baht disappeared from her motorcycle basket while she was shopping. On April 27, 2025, 44-year-old Jintana from Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok Province, reported the theft to police investigator Waraporn Praserit at Ban Na Police Station. She said she had purchased the pork bones from a market vendor at Wat Samob Bunkong Temple market and placed them in her red Honda Wave motorcycle parked behind the temple, then went to shop for other items. When she returned to leave, she discovered the 3 kilograms of pork bones worth 450 baht—which she planned to cook and sell to customers—had vanished. She requested to review the security camera footage and discovered a woman in her 30s wearing an orange shirt, black shorts, and curly hair grabbing the pork bones from the motorcycle and fleeing. CCTV also showed the same woman circling a blue motorcycle with items in a basket, appearing to case it for theft, but the owner arrived and drove away before she could steal anything. She then moved on to red and green motorcycles parked nearby, quickly grabbing items from both before escaping. Jintana asked police to track down the suspect, as residents have experienced frequent thefts of items left on motorcycles at the market.
