National Intelligence Agency Chief Confirms Chinese Man's Links to Scammer Gang in Regional Network

A Chinese man arrested after a car accident in Chonburi was confirmed by Thailand's National Intelligence Agency chief to have leadership-level ties to a scammer gang with regional connections.

12 May Khaosod

The National Intelligence Agency chief has acknowledged that Ming Cheng Sun, a 30-year-old Chinese suspect, has connections to a scammer gang at a leadership command level. The case originated when Sun was involved in a car accident in Sattahip District, Chonburi Province. Police discovered firearms in the vehicle and subsequently uncovered a hidden weapons cache at his residence, leading to the arrest of five suspected accomplices. Officers seized M4 assault rifles and large quantities of explosives. Sun was taken into custody by Chonburi police and remanded to Pattaya Provincial Court on serious charges. During custody, he displayed signs of severe stress and depression, refusing to eat and consuming only water, while requesting to smoke 2-3 cigarettes at a time. He was hospitalized after experiencing convulsions. On May 12, 2025, at Government House, National Intelligence Agency Director Thanat Suwannanont addressed reports that Sun had connections to a scammer gang at the command level, stating that while he could not elaborate extensively, such connections did appear to exist.

Lawyer Uan Submits New Evidence in Saksiyam Case Against Priyadh; NACC May Never Have Investigated the Case at All

Opposition lawyer Uan has submitted new evidence to challenge the NACC's decision to dismiss the lèse-majesté case against former Transport Minister Saksiyam Chidchob, arguing the agency's conclusion contradicts established facts including testimony and financial evidence revealed in Constitutional Court proceedings. The opposition coalition is petitioning the Parliament Speaker to establish an independent committee to investigate whether the NACC properly conducted its investigation, with plans to file the formal petition by the end of May. The effort includes gathering public signatures and raising three main categories of concerns regarding the NACC's investigation procedures and completeness.

12 May Khaosod

At 9:30 a.m. on May 12, 2025, at Parliament, Pattarapong Suphakson, known as Lawyer Uan from Buriram, submitted a letter to Priyadh Wachrasindhu, a Pheu Thai party list MP and coordinator of the opposition coalition, to aid in drafting a petition to the Parliament Speaker requesting that the court establish a committee to investigate the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) regarding its dismissal of the complaint against Saksiyam Chidchob, former Transport Minister alleged to be concealing assets.

Pattarapong stated that the NACC's decision in Saksiyam's case contradicts the facts. Key evidence includes testimony from a former prime minister and statements about "Mr. S," whom the Constitutional Court determined was a nominee, as well as financial transaction trails used for transfers. This evidence will facilitate the opposition coalition's petition to the Parliament Speaker.

Regarding public signatures, whether the target of 20,000 names is reached or not, the opposition will submit the collected signatures with their petition this May. Priyadh stated that the new evidence provided by the public would be beneficial for the petition to the Parliament Speaker, which requests the court establish an independent investigation committee to examine NACC officials under the Constitutional court mechanism, Article 236.

Whether or not public signatures reach the target, the opposition parties will proceed regardless. Current party backing includes 119 votes from Pheu Thai, over 20 from Democratic Party, 1 from Thai Loyalty Party, 1 from Free Thai Party, and approximately 10 senators.

The petition draft is expected to be completed by the end of May, while awaiting information from the NACC including relevant documents, Saksiyam's clarifications, and the NACC's position prior to the dismissal vote from last week.

Priyadh outlined three main categories for the petition to the Parliament Speaker:

Category 1: Raising questions about all facts revealed in the Constitutional Court proceedings, including stock transfers and financial trails—why the NACC failed to consider these facts, or if it did, why it did not conclude that Saksiyam intentionally filed false asset declarations or concealed assets as the Constitutional Court ruled when it removed him from office.

Category 2: Raising questions about whether the NACC thoroughly reviewed all accusations from Pakornwut Udompipatthanasukul, a Pheu Thai list MP and former deputy party leader, and other MPs who filed complaints—whether any were overlooked.

Category 3: Raising questions about whether the NACC's process from receiving the complaint to investigation followed its rules and procedures, noting that Pakornwut, as the complainant, never received any communication from the NACC and learned of the dismissal only through public announcement, which is inappropriate.

Priyadh added that in recent days he has posed a new observation as a question for the NACC and the public to consider: Did the NACC actually investigate all relevant parties before dismissing Saksiyam's case? He suspects the NACC may not have.

12 May Khaosod

The student organization at Rajabhat Lampang University mourned the death of Nawit Khueanjaijai, known as Ter, a 21-year-old fourth-year industrial electrical engineering student and former vice president of the student organization during the 2568 academic year, following a lightning strike in a cassava field.

Prasit Attacks Government for Bundling Loans Into Single Decree, Claims It's Dodging Parliament Oversight; Vows to File for Special Committee Investigation

Opposition Democrat Party spokesman Prasit accuses the government of deliberately bundling 400-billion-baht in emergency loans into a single decree to evade parliamentary scrutiny and use relief funds as cover for advancing energy transition projects. The party plans to file an urgent motion to establish a special parliamentary committee to investigate the funds' usage, comparing it to oversight committees created during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prasit argues the government's strategy of combining two separate loan tranches pressures the opposition into simultaneously approving both, preventing selective criticism of contested elements.

12 May Khaosod

Prasit accuses the government of opportunistically combining loans into a single decree as a tactic to pressure the opposition into criticizing relief efforts. He claims the government is deliberately evading parliamentary oversight, which he describes as a "parliamentary escape" phenomenon. He announced the Democratic Party will file an urgent motion on Thursday, May 14, to establish a special committee to investigate the loan's implementation, stating there is no valid reason to refuse its establishment.

At 9:45 a.m. on May 12, 2025, at Parliament, Prasit Watchrasindhū, a list MP and Democratic Party spokesman, discussed the opposition's petition to the Constitutional Court concerning the government's 400-billion-baht emergency decree for Middle East crisis relief. Prasit stated their petition clearly targets the 200-billion-baht portion related to energy transition projects, which they have separated distinctly for the court.

However, Prasit expressed concern that the government is acting indirectly to evade parliamentary scrutiny, which he characterizes as "parliamentary escape." The first method, according to Prasit, is the government's deliberate bundling of two loan tranches into a single decree, forcing the opposition to simultaneously address both funds, thereby limiting their ability to oppose one while accepting the other.

While the opposition's petition to the Constitutional Court clearly separates the two tranches, Prasit argued the government's intention in combining them is evident—exploiting public hardship to use relief funds as cover for advancing energy projects while bypassing parliamentary oversight through emergency decree mechanisms.

"I ask in return: if what I say is untrue and the government is not trying to use relief funds as cover or smuggle energy projects into this decree, why combine them into one? Why not include the 200-billion-baht portion in the regular budget? If they claim it cannot go through normal budgeting, they could issue a separate loan decree instead. But combining them is a concrete example of parliamentary escape through fund bundling," Prasit stated.

Prasit noted a second concern, though it hasn't materialized yet. The Democratic Party will file a motion on May 14 to establish a special oversight committee to monitor the decree's fund usage. Even though the petition goes to the Constitutional Court, the decree is already enforceable and the government has confirmed it will proceed with spending. Therefore, having a parliamentary special committee to ensure transparency in fund usage is appropriate, similar to the special committees established during the COVID-19 emergency loan decrees.

When asked whether regular budget oversight committees could fulfill this role, Prasit clarified that regular committees track overall budget implementation without specifically targeting individual decrees. He noted that special committees have been established for every emergency loan decree. He expressed hope that government MPs will cooperate rather than use their majority to block the investigation, stating there is no justification for refusing to establish such a committee.

S Supap Opens Up About Chaotic Airport Moment, Concerned for Other Passengers Affected

Thai actor S Supap Sangsuwan addressed a recent chaotic airport incident where he was surrounded by a large crowd of fans, expressing more concern for other affected passengers than himself. He thanked his security team for their protection and appealed to fans to meet him in appropriate and safe venues instead of attempting airport encounters. The actor emphasized that while he was unharmed, the situation posed genuine safety risks to other airport users and those attempting to photograph him.

12 May Khaosod

Young actor S Supap Sangsuwan has become the subject of considerable discussion following an overwhelming encounter with a large group of fans at the airport while traveling abroad. Concerned onlookers who saw videos of the chaotic scene prompted the actor to later appear live to reassure fans of his wellbeing. Most recently, S Supap participated in an exclusive "Matcha Sensory Experience" workshop at the OREO MATCHA HOUSE in Central Park shopping mall, where he reflected on the airport incident.

After the event concluded, S Supap expressed that the situation was more intense than he anticipated. He thanked his security team and management for their comprehensive protection, but stressed he was more worried about other passengers affected by the commotion than about himself. He called on fans to meet him in appropriate and safe locations instead.

When asked about the chaotic airport scene and being surrounded by fans, S Supap recalled: "At first I found it quite funny, the images made it look like I was being arrested at the airport. But I have to thank my security team and Khun Go for protecting me. I listened to Phuwinton's interview—nobody wanted this to happen. I realized concerned fans were worried, so I went live that night to say I was fine because the team took full care of me."

He noted that while some people might criticize the incident, those responsible wouldn't listen anyway. However, he wanted broader awareness because the situation was genuinely dangerous. Other airport passengers were pushed aside, and there was an escalator nearby—if security hadn't held firm, someone could have been seriously injured.

Regarding preparation for departure, S Supap admitted he had never expected such intensity before and hadn't been fully prepared. After seeing a previous incident with another actor, he wore running shoes as a precaution. The situation escalated once they passed the barricade point.

When security moved in, his primary concern was other travelers using the airport. He noticed some people with luggage being jostled and felt somewhat guilty about the situation. He emphasized he sustained no injuries and wanted to reassure fans. The real victims, he said, were those taking the photos and videos themselves—some hit poles or dropped phones—and the overall incident didn't create a flattering image for anyone involved.

S Supap advocated for meeting fans in official settings and formal venues where both parties could feel safe and comfortable, rather than in spontaneous airport encounters.

Female Idol Posts Photo of Messy Room, Shocking Fans with Stark Contrast to Polished Image

Japanese idol Ogonoki Ruka sparked viral debate online after posting photos of her extremely cluttered bedroom, revealing a stark contrast to her polished public image. She explained that her packed schedule leaves little time for housekeeping, and she previously had to sleep on the floor due to the clutter. The incident has prompted broader discussions in Japan about work-related burnout and mental health among young adults living independently.

12 May Khaosod

Ogonoki Ruka, a 28-year-old idol member of JamsCollection, has become the subject of online discussion after posting photos of her extremely messy bedroom filled with piles of clothes, bags, and personal belongings with almost no walking space.

After posting the images on her X platform account, the stark contrast between her polished idol image and her cluttered bedroom went viral. Many netizens offered suggestions, with some recommending she hire professional cleaning services, while several companies offered their assistance.

However, some internet users argued this wasn't simply about laziness but rather a result of her heavy work schedule and lack of time for personal life management.

Ogonoki responded to comments, explaining that she had already hired cleaning services but saw little improvement, even after the company added an extra 30 minutes for free. She attributed the main issue to her limited living space and mentioned she is considering moving to a larger home in the future.

This isn't the first time Ogonoki's living conditions have sparked online debate. Previously, she revealed her room became so cluttered that she had no space for a bed and had to sleep on the floor. These posts have triggered discussions in Japan about mental health issues, work burnout, and hoarding behavior among young adults living alone.
