The Pheu Thai Party has announced its restructured leadership following its annual general meeting on April 26, 2025, appointing a new executive committee to reorganize the party after recent elections and prepare for parliamentary oversight responsibilities. Key positions filled include: Nattapong Rueangpunya as party leader, Picharn Chaowapatanawong as secretary-general, Chutima Kachaphun as treasurer, Natthavuth Buaprathoem as membership registrar, and Sutthawan Subhannanakij as committee member. The party appointed nine deputy leaders across various portfolios including policy affairs, general operations, special activities, territorial strategy, foreign relations, legal affairs, local administration, and parliamentary matters. Priset Watchrasindu was assigned as deputy leader for parliamentary affairs. The spokesperson team comprises Phakamann Hunnon as party spokesman, with Panida Mongkolswasdi, Karunpol Tiensuwannon, and Naphath Narangsiya serving as assistant spokespersons. Additionally, former party secretary-general Srayuth Caihuak was appointed as advisor to the party leader and secretary-general.

At 3:30 PM on April 30, 2569, Deputy Investigation Officer Surachet Khanthong from Tha Kham Police Station received a report of a truck fire on Soi Prachauthit 76, Tha Kham Sub-district, Bang Khun Thian District, Bangkok. He and firefighters from Bang Khun Thian Fire Station and rescue team responded to the scene.

The incident occurred near Wat Bua Phan, an abandoned area surrounded by grassland and acacia trees. Investigators found a 12-wheeler truck carrying sawdust engulfed in flames, which then spread to a 10-wheeler truck carrying wood and a 6-wheeler truck parked nearby. All three vehicles caught fire. Firefighters used water jets to control the blaze, which took 30 minutes to extinguish. All three trucks were completely destroyed. Investigators found stones arranged as a stove, metal grates, a rice cooking pot, and firewood at the rear of the sawdust truck, which they collected as evidence.

The investigation revealed the lot belonged to an owner who was not using it. The truck owner leased the space to park four trucks. Previously, the trucks were used for soil transportation, but with no current work, they were unregistered and reported to the Department of Land Transport. Two workers were hired to guard the premises, living in a nearby shipping container.

Before the incident, there was intense sun. Neighbors witnessed the workers using the truck's shadow for shade before lighting a fire at the rear of the truck to prepare food. When the fire ignited, strong wind gusts blew sparks onto a pile of sawdust, which is highly flammable. The fire rapidly spread to all three trucks and nearby grassland before both workers fled in panic.

Police are currently interrogating the truck owner and tracking down both workers for questioning before proceeding with legal action.

On April 30, 2025, former Deputy National Police Commander Pol. Gen. Surachet Hakphaul assigned his private attorney Sanyaphach Samard to file a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) regarding Police Spokesperson Pol. Col. Trairongg Piwphrn and related police officers involved in a 246-baht gold bribery case. The complaint alleges that the spokesperson's press conference, which included the release of telephone conversation recordings, constitutes public manipulation and judicial interference, thereby violating human rights and human dignity.

Attorney Sanyaphach stated that the complaint has been submitted to both the NHRC and the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). He argued that the press conference violated proper legal procedure, as evidence should be presented in court, not on television. He emphasized that the accused maintains the presumption of innocence and that such public exposure could prejudicially affect the case and violate constitutional rights.

The attorney contended that releasing the audio clips was a form of public humiliation and degradation that contradicts the constitutional presumption of innocence. He noted that the investigation file had already been submitted to the Attorney General's Anti-Corruption Division on April 8, 2025, meaning the police spokesperson no longer had authority over the matter at the time of the press conference.

Sanyaphach further argued that proper legal proceedings should follow constitutional protocols and the Anti-Corruption Act B.E. 2561, Section 45, Paragraph 2. He called for the NHRC to investigate whether the police spokesperson's actions violated human rights laws and constitute a breach of their own regulations.

Ms. Pitikanjana Sitthidej of the NHRC confirmed receipt of the complaint and stated that the case will be reviewed according to procedures for alleged human rights violations, noting that the accused still maintains the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise.

Sri Lanka is accelerating its investigation into the missing funds. As of April 30, according to Xinhua, Sri Lankan authorities initiated an inquiry into a foreign currency payment made by the Department of Posts to the United States Postal Service (USPS), which has confirmed it has not received 625,000 US dollars, or approximately 20.4 million baht.

The Department of Posts has launched an internal investigation while the Criminal Investigation Department conducts a parallel probe. Financial irregularities of this nature must undergo departmental-level review before law enforcement officials proceed with investigations following a formal complaint.

This issue has occurred more than once in the past, necessitating a more thorough examination of the payment processing procedures. However, no additional details have been disclosed regarding the transaction mechanism or the progress of the investigation.

At 3:00 PM on April 30, 2025, at Phakdibodindra Building in Government House, Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and the Interior Minister held a press conference announcing results of operations against transnational criminal networks, identity fraud, citizenship manipulation, and illegal gambling operations. They confirmed that all agencies have continuously intensified crackdowns on criminal networks, including scammer rings, with numerous cases resulting in asset seizures and confiscations.

Today's announcement detailed additional enforcement achievements, particularly regarding corruption in civil registration and citizenship matters. The Interior Ministry has dismantled call center and scammer networks, including operations run by individuals known as Gak Arn and Liang Pad. After discovering these transnational criminal networks through registration records, the Department of Local Administration established a task force against registry security threats. With cooperation from law enforcement agencies enforcing laws strictly, prosecution efforts have expanded to network members, resulting in continuous arrests and crackdowns.

The Prime Minister stated these criminal operations are interconnected, not separate, and linked as a single group—primarily scammers, money launderers, smugglers, and illegal gambling operators working together. Key enforcement agencies involved include the Department of Local Administration, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), the Royal Thai Police, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Office of the Ombudsman (OPO), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), and the military.

The PM emphasized that his teams will pursue influential, wealthy, and powerful individuals without regard to reputation, following the principle of "focus on actions, not names." He stated he continuously monitors operations, does not rely on single sources, and ensures thorough verification. Law enforcement agencies fully support this approach and operate without concern.

The PM noted he has personally observed numerous arrest operations and emphasized that when wrongdoers realize they cannot escape consequences, they proceed with full enforcement until cases are concluded. He urged the public to be confident that the government is serious about combating all types of illegal activity.

Recent arrests have targeted illegal gambling operations hidden in hotels and businesses across provinces. The PM warned business owners—whether hotel, restaurant, or property owners—that allowing such operations on their premises makes them equally liable. Those with business licenses who support illegal activities face license revocation and prosecution, consequences not worth the initial investment.
