Mind Napassi Sets Goal to Have Children Before Age 40, Wants One Son and One Daughter, Discusses Future Plans with Songkran

Mind Napassi, 35, plans to have children within 2-3 years after successfully freezing 18-19 eggs, hoping to be young enough to bond with her future son and daughter like a friend rather than waiting until age 40.

28 Apr Khaosod

Mind Napassi, 35, has opened up about her egg freezing journey and family planning goals in an interview at a Chang Cold Brew event. She successfully retrieved 18-19 eggs during the procedure, exceeding her initial expectations of fewer than 10. As a Thalassemia carrier like her mother, she was advised by her doctor to freeze eggs before age 35. She and boyfriend Songkran Tetchanarong have discussed future plans, though they're still in the early conversation stage. Mind aims to have children within 2-3 years rather than waiting until 40, hoping to be young enough to be a friend-like figure to her children. She wants one son and one daughter, though she joked about twins depending on her financial situation. The turning point in her decision to plan for motherhood now was realizing she's 35-36 years old and can't turn back time. She noted that her mother had children young and is now like a friend to her at age 60, making her want to experience similar closeness with her own children while still being young enough to enjoy life together.

Aum Atichart and Diana Do Merit-Making at Star-Worshipping Ceremony, Luck Wins Motorcycle—License Plate Matches Home Registration Too

Actor Aum Atichart and Diana Fleepo won a motorcycle at a star-worshipping merit-making ceremony, with the license plate coincidentally matching Aum's home registration. Despite economic pressures from rising fuel and transportation costs,

28 Apr Khaosod

Actor Aum Atichart shared a moment accompanying young actress Diana Fleepo to a star-worshipping merit-making ceremony where their good fortune won them a motorcycle—and even more remarkably, the license plate matched his home vehicle registration. Despite facing mounting business pressures from rising transportation and fuel costs that have squeezed margins across industries, Aum remains committed to not reducing staff or raising prices. Speaking at the launch of the new Implant Dental Center at The Wireless Club in Bangkok, he updated reporters on how the economic conditions have impacted his operations while recounting the fortune-bringing ceremony with Diana. He also reflected on the recent Songkran festival, which he spent quietly at home with his mother and dogs, and discussed his deep care for his 102-year-old grandmother. When asked about Songkran, Aum said he stayed home the entire time, spending it with family and taking a well-deserved rest after traveling extensively beforehand. He emphasized the importance of caring for elderly family members, particularly his grandmother who turned 102 this year. "I gave her money as a gift—she loves money as rewards. Even though she can't go shopping, elderly people feel good when their children and grandchildren give them money. She has constant care at home and a nurse looking after her," he explained. When discussing how to keep her spirits high, Aum noted that his grandmother doesn't suffer from depression but is bedridden after a fall in her nineties that damaged her bones. Interestingly, her lifestyle contradicts typical health-conscious practices—she enjoys watching television and sweets, living quite differently from health-focused routines. "She drank sweetened condensed milk and such drinks in her youth. Healthcare wasn't really her concern. She doesn't drink much anymore, though she had some in her nineties when she was more mischievous," he said. Regarding business impacts from current geopolitical tensions and their effect on transportation, Aum acknowledged severe consequences across all sectors, with logistics costs hitting particularly hard.

Energy Ministry Offers Tips on Saving Electricity and Getting the Most Value

Thailand's Energy Ministry released practical strategies for reducing electricity consumption, recommending behavioral changes like using high-drain appliances sparingly, setting air conditioners to 26-27°C, and combining laundry loads to l

27 Apr Khaosod

On April 28, the Energy Ministry's Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency announced recommendations for appropriate electricity use to keep bills manageable. The ministry broke down savings strategies by usage patterns, noting that real savings are possible through behavioral changes.

For high-consumption appliances—use briefly but effectively: - Water heater (13.5–23.5 baht/hour) - Iron (3.5–10 baht/hour) - Vacuum cleaner (6–8 baht/hour) - Deep fryer (3.5–6.44 baht/hour)

Behavior to adjust: Avoid leaving devices running unattended. Use only when necessary and turn off immediately.

For continuous-use appliances—the longer you use them, the more you need to manage: - Air conditioner (2.5–6 baht/hour): Set temperature to 26-27°C and use a fan to assist. Turn off when not in the room.

For cyclical-use appliances—combine uses for better value: - Washing machine (2–8 baht/hour): Instead of washing small loads repeatedly, combine clothes and wash once for greater savings.

For low-consumption appliances—use comfortably but with discipline: - Fan (0.15–0.25 baht/hour) - Air purifier (0.09–0.20 baht/hour) - Television (0.40–1 baht/hour) - Refrigerator (0.30–0.40 baht/hour)

These can run continuously but should be turned off when not in use to reduce accumulated costs.

Carrick Insists Manchester United Not Complacent Despite Champions League Qualification Push – Praises Casemiro and Bruno

Manchester United secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Brentford at Old Trafford, bringing them within two points of clinching a Champions League qualification spot with four matches remaining. Manager Michael Carrick praised the performances of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes while emphasizing that the team cannot afford to be complacent despite their strong position in the Premier League standings.

27 Apr Khaosod

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick said the Red Devils are well-positioned to earn a UEFA Champions League ticket for next season after beating Brentford 2-1, but the team must keep fighting. He also commended the efforts of key midfielders Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

United claimed a narrow 2-1 victory over Brentford at Old Trafford in the English Premier League on April 27. The win brought the Red Devils' tally to 61 points from 34 matches, maintaining third place in the standings. According to BBC reports, United need just two more points from their remaining four matches to secure a Champions League spot for next season. Their next fixture is a home clash against Liverpool in the rivalry match on May 3.

After the match, Carrick discussed their approach to securing European football's biggest competition: "It's not guaranteed. We weren't favorites at certain points this season. Right now we're in a good position and we want to finish as high as we can in the league to keep that push going."

"Today was about the three points," he added. "We have an important game against Liverpool coming up, and we can look forward to that."

The 44-year-old manager also praised his two key midfielders, Casemiro, who scored the opening goal, and Bruno Fernandes, who assisted the second goal for Benjamin Sesko's finish. "Casemiro scores important goals for us regularly. Casemiro and Bruno have a great relationship," Carrick said.

"We score in almost every game and Bruno is crucial to that. He might pick up another assist or two, and he can also score himself."

Kan Jompluang's Team Files Complaint Against Bird Wanwangwang for Using Insecticide Instead of Powder During Songkran Celebrations

Content creator Bird Wanwangwang faces complaints from at least two Songkran celebrants who claim they were exposed to insecticide mixed with powder instead of safe talcum powder during festivities at Phra Pradaeng. The victims reported severe difficulty washing out the substance and significant eye irritation, with one requiring eight hair washes to fully remove it. Police are investigating the incident and awaiting medical reports before filing formal assault charges.

27 Apr Khaosod

Kan Jompluang's legal team has filed a complaint against social media content creator Bird Wanwangwang for allegedly using insecticide in place of talcum powder during Songkran water festivities at Phra Pradaeng. The substance reportedly dissolved in water and was applied to participants' faces and bodies, causing significant harm and public backlash. Despite Bird's subsequent clarification claiming the video was merely entertainment content using only flour and talcum powder, at least two victims have come forward reporting severe eye irritation and difficulty washing out the substance after multiple attempts.

The first victim, 28-year-old Off, reported that after approximately ten minutes of exposure, the powder-like substance wouldn't wash off easily. He required eight hair washes when he returned home, and experienced severe eye irritation and itching throughout the night, with convulsions every two hours. His physical reaction and the substance's behavior—clumping together and adhering to his neck—suggested something beyond ordinary talcum powder.

A second victim, 44-year-old Art, was also identified in the video. He initially thought the incident was just content creation but later discovered the substance wasn't typical talcum powder when it proved resistant to washing. After six to seven wash attempts, he experienced persistent eye irritation and recognized the substance contained insecticide after viewing the social media post.

Kan Jompluang's team conducted a demonstration with reporters, applying talcum powder, rice flour, and insecticide adhesive to skin. While the first two substances washed off easily, the insecticide adhesive was difficult to remove and caused a cooling, burning sensation on the treated area. Police are awaiting medical examination results before proceeding with formal assault charges against Bird Wanwangwang.

Top Tosapol Asks Fans to Move On from 'Koi' Situation, Wants Everyone to Relax and Insists He's Not Sad

Thai actor Top Tosapol publicly addressed persistent fan speculation about his romantic relationship with actress Koi Oracha, urging supporters to move on and focus on the present rather than speculate about artists' personal lives. At a recent Chang Cold Brew event, he clarified that he and Koi remain good friends, credited the film success of The Red Line, and reassured fans that he is doing well despite his naturally droopy eyes making him appear sad.

27 Apr Khaosod

Top Tosapol is urging fans to move on from the situation with Koi Oracha, wanting everyone to relax and insisting he's not sad. He advised that if you genuinely care about and follow an artist, focus on the present and don't try to think for them.

After being caught up in the shipping craze between Top Tosapol and Koi Oracha—one of the most popular pairings fans championed—which ended clearly when the female lead announced a relationship with Tim Picha while emphasizing they were only friends, some fans still couldn't move on, sparking online drama.

Most recently, Top Tosapol appeared at the Chang Cold Brew Cool Club event to announce the "Chill Everyday – Afterwork" communication campaign and spoke candidly, clearing up all issues including his relationship with Koi and providing feedback on his film The Red Line, which has been doing exceptionally well, especially for those of us who became memes.

Top: I'm happy everyone liked it. People can joke however they want, just watching is enough. This film really sets the standard for our local film industry. Every character was strong, but when brought together it was really great. I think this might be the first time in my acting career I didn't wear makeup at all, except when adding effects. Everyone changed costumes and went straight into scenes. My face was completely natural. I loved it—it was very natural.

It became a worldwide hit, ranking number one in viewership globally?

Top: I'm thrilled and very surprised. No one dared predict this. We were just waiting for feedback, but I never thought it would reach this level. It exceeded my expectations by far.

Koi responded about Top the other day?

Top: Exactly what she said was correct. Actually, if it weren't Koi's case, everyone should be behaving that way already, whether it's with their girlfriend or friends. When we see each other, it's normal. When we go hiking, it's normal. I still stand by what I've always said—me, Koi, Natty, Dream, we're all friends, like younger siblings. I'm even on their team. Koi, Natty, Dream, Top.

Fans were just thinking of your wellbeing?

Top: I see. Everyone wrote assumptions that I definitely didn't want to come, that I was awkward or reluctant. My spirit was dampened. I'm fine normally. That day on the trip, I just woke up late. I wasn't stressed or didn't want to come. I went and read it and honestly wanted to respond, but I'm not very good at playing along so I let it go. I saw many people create drama, going to search for Natty, searching for Dream. I want everyone to relax. It's nothing. They were just talking about feeling like friends teasing each other, and I wasn't upset. I kept a still face and they said my eyes looked sad.

Were you bothered by something like that?

Top: No. I want to tell you that it's my nature—when my face is blank, my eyes droop a bit, or as you'd say, they're loose and droopy. I'm not sad. My friends tease me as usual, in the normal way friends joke around.

What do you want to say to people who still haven't moved on from this?

Top: Thank you to everyone who's been following along. At least you're interested. I think everyone has their own lives. Whoever you admire, I think genuine appreciation means wanting them to be happy however they are. I always tell my friends that the past is something we can't change. We don't know what the future holds. Focus more on the present. If you admire an artist, if you follow someone, if you like someone, look at their present—see how happy they are. Don't try to think for them or think about their future. Sometimes I don't even know what I'll face tomorrow.

They love you and are very concerned about you, wanting you to be happy?

Top: I graduated from an all-boys school. I'm much stronger than that. I've had fans my whole life. This is just the first time, let me enjoy it a bit. Even if I don't have fans now, I can handle it.

What's your ideal woman spec right now?

Top: I don't have specific specs. We have to know each other first. What's definitely clear is she needs to be someone who takes good care of herself, takes good care of her family, and has discipline in something. Nothing too specific.
