At 12:40 p.m. on May 4, 2025, at Phum Jai Thai Party headquarters, MP Nattachon Srikokeuea of Songkhla explained that he manages approximately 1,000 LINE accounts and had exited multiple party groups, including MP batches 25 and 26, as well as the original Southern region MP group. He acknowledged accidentally sending messages to wrong groups due to the high number of chats, but stressed this was not motivated by disappointment—it was a prior agreement regarding committee assignments.

Following his exit, party procedures took over rather than direct intervention from the Prime Minister or party secretary. The opposition coordination committee investigated his departure and subsequently invited him back to the groups with no other complications. "I can confirm there's no resentment because we had an agreement beforehand," Nattachon stated. "As a politician, we shouldn't just protect our own image or reputation—we must look after our own well-being. This is political philosophy. Whether we get a position depends on the party executive board, and there are many other tasks to handle."

Nattachon revealed that since leaving the LINE group, he has received more assignments from party executives, party leadership, and the opposition coordination committee for parliamentary coordination and extra-parliamentary work. "The LINE departure turned out to be a good opportunity to contribute more to the party," he explained. When asked about specific promises for future positions, he said there were none yet, but he expects to focus on pending legislation regarding loans and the 2025 budget, particularly the Land Bridge project which significantly affects the Southern region.

Channel 7HD presents a new action-drama-comedy series "Cruel Love Song" from Gold CP.G Entertainment, based on a story by Khon Nam Khem with television adaptation by Phukhao. The series is directed by and stars Ekkachai Rungsiroj Pantpeng alongside leading man Ben Santirat Kulnaphakiatti, who plays 'Chaiya,' a skilled young detective. This marks his first on-screen pairing with actress Jeda Sranya Chunjaisathit, who portrays 'Poona,' a beautiful aspiring singer. The supporting cast includes Ris Wichyapong Iamsaad as Manas, Mint Phortiva Sakharchun as Maria, Pul Poolpat Atthapassyapol as Sorrak, and famous Luk Thung singer Fon Thanasunthorn in the roles of Wilai and Aronong.

"Cruel Love Song" tells the story of Poona, a talented young woman who dreams of becoming a singer but is instead sent to infiltrate a music label to uncover the truth behind her parents' deaths—a case potentially linked to criminal networks. Meanwhile, Chaiya, a young police detective, receives a secret mission to go undercover investigating the same case, pretending to be a YouTuber. Their misunderstandings gradually blossom into romance, but as they get closer to the truth, obstacles multiply. The chemistry between Ben and Jeda promises to deliver an entertaining ride.

Ben Santirat shared: "In this role, I play Chaiya, a detective sent to tackle drug trafficking by a powerful figure in a village. I'll be undercover as a YouTuber conducting the investigation. This series has plenty of action sequences in the style of director Akhlorn Phoncharoen, who has collaborated with Ekkachai for a long time. That blend of Akhlorn's signature style with Ekkachai's direction creates something contemporary and well-balanced. The story is rich in flavor and features beautiful songs that match the title. As for whether I'll sing with Jeda, I'll let you discover that by watching. We've worked together before on 'Kwang Thang Buen,' but this is our first time playing opposite each other. There's good chemistry with no need for adjustment—Jeda is talented and dedicated, especially when it comes to singing. Please tune in!"

Jeda Sranya added: "I play Poona, who dreams of becoming an artist and singer. I was raised by my uncle, Ekkachai, who discouraged me from pursuing music. This creates mystery about why he opposed my involvement in the industry—a key thread in the story. Poona is a fighter, a bit rebellious, but deeply caring toward family and friends. She has some action scenes, though not as many as Ben's. I'm thrilled to work with Ben again and play opposite him for the first time. We already have good rapport, and Ben is as charming as ever. We'll constantly exchange ideas about how to play each scene. I hope you'll watch 'Cruel Love Song'—it's entertaining, beautifully made, and features wonderful songs. Stay tuned to see if Poona achieves her dream of becoming a singer!"

Tune in to "Cruel Love Song" every Monday through Friday at 7:00 PM on Channel 7HD (digital TV channel 35).

A Malaysian man held a surprise wedding renewal ceremony for his wife after she lost her memory from a traffic accident, expressing his wish to be by her side until their final day. His wife regained consciousness from a coma following the accident but could not remember him, her children, or many basic abilities, becoming entirely dependent on his care. However, even without her memories, she felt she had made the right choice in him as her life partner.

The husband explained that the accident occurred eight years ago, and the years following it were the most difficult of his life, especially when their children were still young. Determined to strengthen for his family and care for his wife, he secretly planned a surprise renewal ceremony at their home, with their children waiting inside with flowers to welcome this special moment for their parents.

He wanted the surprise to bring her joy and help her understand the life they had built together. He even brought her original wedding ring to the ceremony—though her fingers had become smaller after the accident, he slipped the ring back on her finger and they exchanged rings again amidst an atmosphere filled with deep emotion. The wife thanked him for always standing by her side, while he expressed his heartfelt sentiment: "In this life, everyone must part ways someday. I ask that I may be with you in every moment until our final day."

Shop Smart at the Mall: Mother Warns Against Spoiled Pre-Packaged Sushi, Nearly Gave It to Her Child

When buying pre-packaged food that wasn't freshly prepared, you must carefully check the expiration date and inspect it thoroughly before consumption. Even purchases made at major department stores can have problems.

This case was shared in a consumer group where a shopper discovered spoiled, foul-smelling sushi bought from a mall and almost served it to her child. She's warning others to inspect their purchases carefully.

Her post states: "I want to warn everyone about this experience. If you buy pre-packaged sushi like this, you should open and check it before driving home to confirm whether the food is fresh or spoiled. I went to eat at Central, near a buffet restaurant. Some items had promotional discounts. The store had pre-packaged sashimi and sushi displayed at the front. I bought two boxes for my son. When I opened them, there was a strong rotten smell.

Fortunately, only about 10 minutes had passed since purchase, and the restaurant was nearby. I went to inform the staff and asked for a refund. Initially, the restaurant refused and offered to make new sushi, but after seeing the staff's expressions, I decided against it and requested my money back instead. I had lost confidence and trust in the establishment.

The restaurant took responsibility and refunded my money without any issues.

When I purchased the items, I didn't notice the promotional display as it was far from where I was sitting. Who would think the food would be spoiled? The mall opens at 10 a.m., and I bought it at noon. If you bought something when the mall was about to close, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been sitting for a long time.

I want to remind everyone that just because the mall has only been open for two hours doesn't mean everything is fresh. Please check your purchases carefully before leaving to avoid wasting time and disappointing yourself. Think about it—if you gave spoiled food to relatives or elders, what would they think?

(I'm not naming the restaurant) My intention is simply to warn people to check their purchases carefully. That way, if there's a problem, you can claim a refund or exchange immediately without wasting time."

The Finance Ministry will present a royal decree for borrowing 400 billion baht to the cabinet on Tuesday, May 5, as a fiscal tool to absorb the impacts of the Middle East crisis, along with the 'Thai Help Thai' program. After economic agencies reviewed all available funding sources—including the 2025 budget management, central fund allocations, and emergency reserves—they determined that existing budgets were insufficient to handle the situation, prompting the decision to issue the borrowing decree. This domestic borrowing will be drawdown-based, used only as needed, mirroring the 1.5 quadrillion baht emergency borrowing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding fiscal discipline concerns, the Finance Ministry confirms that the 400 billion baht borrowing will not require raising the public debt ceiling, currently set at 70% of GDP. Thailand's public debt in March 2025 stands at 66.38% of GDP based on an estimated 19.10 quadrillion baht. Following cabinet approval of the decree, the government will establish a 'Project Screening Committee' chaired by the Finance Ministry Permanent Secretary to evaluate and filter project proposals from state agencies for maximum value. Relevant agencies must expedite preparing detailed plans and justifications for the decree to present to parliament for legislative approval.
