57 Years of EGAT Commitment to Energy Security as Clean Energy Push Moves to Cabinet

EGAT plans to submit floating solar projects at three major dams with combined capacity of 1,638 megawatts to cabinet for approval, part of Thailand's push to shift toward clean energy and reduce reliance on imported fuels.

3 May Khaosod

Narinthron Pao-vanich, governor of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), stated that the recent energy crisis highlights the urgent need for Thailand to increase electricity production from clean energy sources while reducing reliance on imported fuels. EGAT is preparing to submit to the cabinet for approval floating solar projects at three major dams—Bhumibol in Tak, Srinakarin and Vachiralongkorn in Kanchanaburi—with a combined capacity of 1,638 megawatts.

The agency is developing large-scale energy storage systems such as pumped-storage hydroelectric plants, which have low per-unit electricity production costs and can immediately replace renewable energy fluctuations. The Chulachomklao pumped-storage plant in Chaiyaphum is currently awaiting cabinet approval, while the Vachiralongkorn facility in Kanchanaburi is preparing for its second public consultation meeting this year.

EGAT is also modernizing electrical grids and upgrading transmission systems to manage increasing renewable energy variability, particularly to support digital industry growth in the Eastern Economic Corridor. High-voltage substations including Pangtong, Sattahip 1 and 2 in Chachoengsao and Rayong 2 in Rayong are targeted for completion by 2026.

The agency is exploring new low-carbon sustainable energy sources including hydrogen, ammonia, carbon capture technology for combined heat and power plants, and small modular reactors, along with alternatives like biomethane and e-methane. EGAT also plans to increase cross-border electricity trading through the LTMS-PIP Phase 2 project with Laos, Malaysia and Singapore from the current 100 megawatts to a maximum of 200 megawatts, advancing the ASEAN Power Grid initiative.

On EGAT's 57th anniversary, Governor Narinthron pledged to remain a pillar of electricity security for Thai people amid global energy volatility and economic slowdown. Thailand must maintain continuous electricity supply at reasonable costs with sustainable business practices following circular economy principles. These include utilizing byproducts from Mae Mao power plant operations such as fly ash concrete and humic soil amendments, as well as extracting black mass from used electric vehicle batteries.

EGAT continues supporting communities and environmental protection through its shared value creation program, implementing the "100 Years of HM King's Birth Anniversary Project" in partnership with Chai Pattana and Utok Development Foundations, applying principles from the royal development philosophy and sufficiency economy to improve community quality of life.

A Quieter Birthday Than Ever: Bird Fanthangmo Grieves Loss of Four Beloved People, Turns 40 With No House or Car, But Debt-Free

Bird Fanthangmo turns 40 grieving four loved ones lost over five years, celebrating quietly without a home or car but free of debt—a principle instilled by his late mother that he considers his greatest fortune.

3 May Khaosod

This year's birthday is much quieter than ever before for Bird Fanthangmo, who mourns the loss of four beloved people over the past five years. These are truly heavy trials. He reveals that at 40 years old, he still has no assets—no house, no car, no wealth—but importantly, he has no debt either, which he considers his good fortune.

On the occasion of Bird Fanthangmo's birthday, the quiet loneliness suggests things won't get any harder than this. After experiencing the loss of four deeply loved ones over the past five years, he reflects on life at 40 years old.

Bird Fanthangmo grieves the loss of four beloved people over five years:

"This year's birthday is much quieter than any before. My mother has been gone for two birthdays now, and my boyfriend for five birthdays. My grandmother has been gone for three years, and my grandfather this year. This birthday feels very lonely, but I'm pushing through. I don't want to blow out candles or receive gifts anymore—I just want the people I love to come back, but that's impossible."

"But within the misfortune, there's still some luck. I've already lost all the heavy things, I've been through all the difficult times. These trials are truly heavy. Did they come too soon? But I think like this—it can't get any harder than this. No one can help us except ourselves."

Bird Fanthangmo admits to forcing a smile despite feeling terrible inside:

"People see me laugh and smile, but they don't know how hard I'm forcing it or how bad things really are inside."

Bird Fanthangmo reveals that at 40 years old, he has no property, house, car, or money, but no debt either:

"I'm 40 years old now. I still have no wealth—no house, no car, no money. I don't know what the future holds either. But what I know is I must never have debt. I have no debt, and that's our good fortune. This is what my mother taught me—we don't need money, but children must never have debt."

"Without debt, then take care of your health. Since childhood, I've remembered this teaching. Though I haven't taken great care of my physical health, I have always remembered and followed my mother's teaching about not having debt."

Entertainment friends send birthday wishes and encouragement:

"I'm not a good person or talented person, but I've never borrowed money from anyone or owed anyone money. I've never cheated anyone or stolen from anyone. Even though I don't have much, I've never asked anyone for free money or borrowed from anyone."

"This year, I ask that my mental and physical health improve somewhat. May good things come. I wish for all my friends, seniors, and juniors to encounter good things. May God protect us and grant us strong health and peace of mind. Let's fight through this together."

Friends from the entertainment industry such as Beam Seranyou, Ae Supchai, Bo Surattanawee, and Kai Meesuk came to celebrate his birthday and offer encouragement, along with his fans.

Princess Charlotte Turns 11 as Kensington Palace Shares New Portrait Showing Her Radiant Smile and Natural Charm

Princess Charlotte celebrates her 11th birthday as Kensington Palace releases a new portrait showing the young royal in a striped sweater, photographed by Matt Porteous during an Easter break in Cornwall.

3 May Khaosod

Kensington Palace released a new photograph of Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales, on May 3 to celebrate her 11th birthday, sharing the image on their Instagram account @princeandprincessofwales with the message: "Wishing Princess Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!" accompanied by a cake emoji.

In the portrait, Princess Charlotte is dressed simply in a black and red striped long-sleeve sweater and dark blue jeans, standing in a verdant garden with various trees and white flowering shrubs. She has grown considerably, with long blonde hair tinged with golden-brown tones. Her sharp facial features bear some resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II during her youth, while also recalling her father Prince William, but what remains constant is her natural, radiant smile and the brightness in her eyes that reflects her determined character.

The photograph was taken by renowned photographer Matt Porteous during the Easter break in Cornwall, around the same time as a family portrait released on Wednesday, April 29, marking Prince William and Princess Catherine's 15th wedding anniversary. In that family photo, each member celebrates casually dressed in t-shirts and trousers, lying on lush green grass in a row—Prince William, Prince George (age 12), Princess Catherine, Prince Louis (age 8), and Princess Charlotte—all smiling joyfully, with their two dogs, Orla and Otto, also featured in the image.

Sheffield Wednesday Gets New Owner with Takeover Complete – Avoids Next Season Points Deduction

US investment firm Aris Capital Partners has completed its takeover of Sheffield Wednesday, ending the club's administration and reversing a planned 15-point deduction for next season after the team's relegation to League One.

3 May Khaosod

Sheffield Wednesday has officially confirmed that Aris Capital Partners, an investment group from the United States, has completed its takeover and become the club's new owner. The English club was previously owned by Thai businessman Dechapol Chansiri but faced serious financial difficulties and unpaid player and staff wages, requiring the club to enter administration. During the final Championship match on May 2, 2025, Sheffield Wednesday announced the news before their game against West Bromwich Albion, with fans giving a warm reception. The team won that match 2-1. This season, Sheffield Wednesday has accumulated an 18-point deduction, finishing with zero points across 46 matches and relegating to League One as bottom-placed team. The club was originally set to receive a 15-point deduction for next season, but this has been reversed as they have exited administration. The club's statement indicated: "The transaction has been completed following consultation with all stakeholders. The English Football League has determined that the 15-point penalty is no longer appropriate, and the club will therefore start next season with a clean slate of zero points as normal."

Arsenal Keep Title Hopes Alive with Dominant Home Victory Over Fulham

Arsenal secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Fulham at Emirates Stadium to maintain their six-point lead atop the Premier League title race, with Viktor Gyökeres scoring twice in the dominant performance.

2 May Khaosod

Arsenal kept their Premier League title hopes alive after dominating Fulham at home in the London Derby, maintaining their position at the top of the table.

In the English Premier League match on May 2, Arsenal hosted Fulham at Emirates Stadium in a London Derby clash.

Arsenal struck first in the 9th minute when Bukayo Saka used his individual brilliance to dribble past Fulham's defense down the right flank before cutting back to Viktor Gyökeres, who finished with a powerful shot to make it 1-0.

In the 27th minute, goalkeeper Bernd Leno came out for an aerial ball and dropped it. Ben White recovered and played it to Gyökeres, whose shot was saved by Leno, but Bukayo Saka fired the rebound wide in an incredible miss. Arsenal failed to extend their lead.

In the 29th minute, Leandro Trossard received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, found space, and played a through ball to Ricardo Galeafio for a header, but VAR detected an offside position and Arsenal's goal was ruled out once again.

In the 40th minute, Gyökeres picked up the ball and waited for his teammates before finding Saka with a through ball. Saka dribbled past defenders and expertly finished into the near post, extending Arsenal's lead to 2-0.

In the 45+4th minute, Trossard evaded the defense and brought the ball into the left side of the penalty area before cutting back for Gyökeres to head home his second goal of the match, giving Arsenal a commanding 3-0 halftime lead.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Arsenal had another chance when Trossard won the ball in midfield and drove forward, threading a pass through Fulham's defense for Gyökeres to shoot in the box, but Leno quickly came out to block.

In the 81st minute, Noni Madueke's corner from the right found Ricardo Galeafio's header, which deflected off Leno's head and hit the post. Arsenal did not score again but maintained their 3-0 victory.

With both teams having played 35 matches, Arsenal increased their tally to 76 points, maintaining top spot and holding a 6-point lead over second-place Manchester City, who have played two fewer matches. Fulham remains in 10th place with 48 points.

Other results: Brentford defeated West Ham United 3-0, Newcastle United beat Brighton 3-1, and Wolverhampton Wanderers drew 1-1 with Sunderland.
