On April 27, 2569, Prime Minister Anuten Chaiyverakul and the Interior Minister signed Prime Minister's Office Order No. 104/2569, appointing three qualified individuals as advisors to serve as Thailand's trade representatives: 1) Nongnuch Petchrattana, 2) Chuntin Kongsak, and 3) Weeraphong Prabha, effective immediately from April 27, 2569.

According to reports, Weeraphong Prabha previously served as deputy leader of the Democratic Party (International Economic Affairs) and was an advisor to Prime Minister Phaetongtharn Shinawatra, where he served as Thailand's trade representative handling trade negotiations with the European Union (EU) and the United States.

On April 27, 2025, at Khleang Nakhon Police Station in Lampang Province, 63-year-old Anusorn, a former community leader, surrendered to Police Captain Phuchichaya Triyamprai, station commander, after shooting local news correspondent Chaiawut, 54, fatally in the chest at Sri Pong Chai community housing in Chomphu Subdistrict, Muang District, Lampang. The victim's wife Panadda and sister sustained knife wounds. The incident occurred on the night of April 26.

During interrogation, Anusorn stated he was watering plants at a food shop when he had a verbal altercation with the victim, who insulted him and made him angry. The victim then grabbed a knife and opened the bedroom door. Anusorn followed and fired one shotgun round at the victim's chest, then used a knife to slash at the victim's wife who was screaming and her sister who came to help. After the attack, his wife told him to flee, so he escaped on a motorcycle.

That same day, the victim's relatives and local residents invited four monks, led by Phra Kru Ampawan Santiwat, Deputy Abbot of Hang Chathat District, and Abbot of Muang Chum Temple, to perform a ritual opening of the bedroom, which still contained the victim's belongings and blood stains, to invoke the spirit of Chaiawut to return home. The atmosphere was filled with grief as relatives and family prepared merit-making dedications for the deceased.

The victim's wife recounted that before the incident, she and her husband were about to sleep when Anusorn entered shouting insults. She opened the door to ask what was wrong, but Anusorn fired one shotgun round that struck her husband in the chest, killing him instantly. Anusorn then rushed into the bedroom and slashed her with a knife, causing injuries. She called her sister for help, but her sister was also attacked by Anusorn's knife, suffering a head wound. The motive stemmed from personal disputes.

Chelsea, in search of a new manager, has reportedly initiated talks with representatives of Andoni Iraola, the Spanish coach who will become available after the current season concludes, though discussions have yet to yield significant progress.

According to reports, Chelsea of the English Premier League has begun negotiations with Andoni Iraola's representatives. The coach will be available after the season ends.

Chelsea recently sacked Liam Rosenior on April 22, with Calem McFarland assuming temporary charge. The club is now flooded with speculation about potential new manager candidates.

Iraola has announced his departure from Bournemouth, another Premier League club, at the end of the current season, positioning him as one of the leading contenders for Chelsea's managerial vacancy given his strong performance with Bournemouth.

Reports indicate that Chelsea held initial talks with Iraola's representatives to gather information about the 43-year-old coach's plans for the summer. However, the discussions have made little headway, as Chelsea was primarily seeking to learn more about the veteran manager rather than making concrete advances.

A woman's regretful apology followed her heated Facebook post criticizing Bang Saen police for confiscating vehicles and targeting her husband's illegally modified motorcycle without proper license plates or documentation.

On April 27, 2026, a Facebook user posted a complaint against Saen Suk Police Station in Chon Buri, saying: "They're out hunting for traffic violations and even seized my boyfriend's vehicle while he was refueling. They're everywhere looking to shake people down for money. Too bad I can't use that cash to take my kid out for hot pot for two days."

Police Captain Naratpong Udonsri, commander of Saen Suk Station, and Lieutenant Nikon Phansaen investigated the case involving the husband and his 26-year-old wife, the Facebook poster. The wife confessed that when her husband called after being stopped, she was so angry she posted immediately without thinking.

"I feel guilty and remorseful now," she said. "The motorcycle my husband was riding was truly illegal—it had a loud aftermarket pipe, no license plate, and no ownership documents. I will post an apology to the police on my Facebook and share it with the groups that shared my original post. I sincerely apologize to the commanders and officers of Saen Suk Police Station for damaging their reputation."

Captain Naratpong revealed he initially considered charges under the Computer Crime Act and defamation laws, but given the couple's circumstances and that such charges would be severe with substantial fines, he decided to show mercy and give them a chance to reflect. The case has a 10-year statute of limitations, and he will monitor the woman's Facebook for further posts criticizing police and whether her apology is sincere.

"I want to tell people planning to post something to think carefully," he said. "Posts like these damage others' reputations, and such leniency won't be offered to everyone as it was to this couple. Police work 24 hours a day, and when officers make a seizure and then face public criticism online, it demoralizes them and affects their morale."

On Saturday, April 27, 2025, two chamchuri trees fell and collapsed onto a naga statue near the entrance bridge to the shrine of Grandfather Srisuddho and Grandmother Sripratum in Ban Dung district, Udon Thani province, approximately 50 meters from the tail section. The naga's body sustained roughly 1.30 meters of damage, and the other tree struck a beehive, causing bees to scatter and attack fleeing tourists. The incident occurred during the temple's noon closure when entry is restricted; the temple reopens in the afternoon, which prevented injuries or fatalities, though some visitors did receive bee stings. Notably, there was no storm, wind, or unusual weather conditions at the time of the collapse. Temple management has brought in workers to repair the damage, and the site is now open for worship as usual. Local village headman Tik reported hearing loud sounds and observing the fallen trees and swarming bees. The tree collapse is attributed to advanced age and structural imbalance. Caretaker Chuwakan Khamwansa described the incident as miraculous, crediting the blessings of the ancestors for the trees falling precisely during the noon closure rather than when tourists were present. The temple has also provided lottery numbers for those interested in trying their luck in the May 2 drawing: triple digits 8-7-6-9 and incense divination numbers 861 and 168.

At 7:00 PM on April 27, 2025, Deputy Education Minister Akkanut Kannikittinan and his team traveled to attend the funeral rites and express condolences for Ms. Papassara Ruengrit, a teacher at Sukanthaaram School who died in a tragic incident, at Wat Raatsit Bamrung in Nong Pla Duk District, Ayutthaya Province. Surrounded by grieving family members, relatives, fellow teachers, students, and community members, the deputy minister expressed his deep sorrow and offered words of encouragement to the family. He confirmed that the Education Ministry will not abandon Teacher Papassara's family and announced his personal commitment to provide 10,000 baht annually to each of her two children until they complete their secondary education (Grade 12).

"Teacher Papassara's passing is not merely a loss for the Ruengrit family, but represents the loss of a dedicated education professional brimming with the spirit and commitment of a true teacher, which deeply impacts all of us at the Ministry of Education," the deputy minister concluded.
