Large numbers of red-shirt supporters gathered outside Khlong Prem Central Prison along Ngamwongwan Road from before dawn on May 11, 2025, to welcome former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra following his sentence commutation and transition to probation. According to the schedule, Thaksin will begin processing paperwork inside the prison at 7:00 AM and will appear at the prison gate at 7:45 AM, followed by a national flag salute at 8:00 AM with family members present. Some supporters traveled through the night, while others came from multiple provinces, particularly in the northeastern and northern regions, to show their support. Prison officials divided the area into two zones—one for family members and Pheu Thai Party associates, and another for media—to prevent overcrowding and maintain order. Security personnel from the Nakhon Chai Police Station and the Department of Corrections managed safety and traffic flow, with general supporters positioned outside the prison perimeter. After media coverage, Thaksin will depart the prison for his residence at Baan Chan Song Lao.

Oak Phan Thong Thae traveled by van to encourage red-shirt supporters camped overnight in front of Klongprem Central Prison, awaiting Thaksin's sentence commutation. He waved, greeted supporters and bowed respectfully as crowds lined up to take selfies with him.

A sentencing committee has approved former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as one of 859 eligible inmates to receive a general sentence commutation. Having already served two-thirds of his one-year sentence—eight months—he will be released on September 9, 2026, subject to electronic monitoring ankle bracelet conditions.

On the evening of May 10, 2569, as red-shirt activists held an overnight rally in front of Klongprem Central Prison, a van pulled up alongside the rally stage. When the window rolled down, Thaksin's eldest son, Phan Thong Thae Shinawatra, known as Oak, emerged to show his support. He smiled, waved, and bowed respectfully to the crowd, telling them: "See you tomorrow."

The red-shirt supporters cheered with excitement, eagerly lining up to shake hands and take selfies with Oak before his vehicle drove away.

Surat Thani police have arrested a suspect accused of stealing from a young athlete competing in the National Youth Games within 48 hours. On May 10, 2025, Police Major General Suwat Suksri, commander of Surat Thani Provincial Police, along with deputy commander Police Colonel Sirichai Suksart, Muang Surat Thani Station Commander Police Colonel Pornrong Garonarjai, and deputy station commander Police Lieutenant Yot Chaorai, apprehended 49-year-old Thammavet, nicknamed Yod, and recovered a mobile phone and backpack.

The arrest followed an incident on the evening of May 8 when the suspect allegedly stole belongings from athletes who had traveled to compete in the National Youth Games in Surat Thani. The case drew significant attention on social media and caused considerable embarrassment to the province as host.

Investigating officers moved quickly following the report and managed to arrest the suspect within 48 hours at a residence in Tambon Tha Thong Mai, Amphoe Kanthaladis, Surat Thani Province. They recovered an iPhone 17 before taking him in for questioning.

The suspect initially confessed before being transferred to Muang Surat Thani Police Station, where he faces charges of theft or receiving stolen property.

Arsenal claimed three vital points that improved their chances of capturing the Premier League title after visiting West Ham United in the London Derby, a dramatic encounter that required VAR's intervention during the closing stages of the English Premier League 2025-26 season on May 10. West Ham United opened their doors at the London Stadium to welcome Arsenal. From the opening nine minutes, Arsenal nearly broke through when Declan Rice sent a corner from the left flank to the far post where Leandro Trossard jumped and headed, only to see Mads Hermansen deflect it away. West Ham's defense cleared the ball but it returned to Trossard, whose shot struck the post. In the 22nd minute, Rice launched a free kick from the left wing into the box where Ricardo Calafiori nodded and nearly beat the goalkeeper, but Konstantinos Mavropanos intervened with his foot to deny the attempt. In the 45th minute, Aaron Wan-Bissaka received the ball on the right flank and sent it into the penalty area for Valentín Castellanos, whose powerful shot was brilliantly saved by David Raya, keeping the score 0-0 at halftime.

In the second half at the 75th minute, West Ham had a brief chance when Jarrod Bowen controlled the ball and cut inward on the right side of the penalty box before crossing, but the ball deflected toward goal and Raya had to tip it away. In the 78th minute, Matheus Fernandes received the ball and clashed with Pablo, allowing Fernandes to enter a wide-open penalty area, but his shot was superbly blocked by Raya's positioning. In the 83rd minute, Martin Ødegaard created space and passed to Leandro Trossard, who fired past the block of a West Ham player, sending the ball into the net to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead.

In the 90th+5 minute, a dramatic moment unfolded when West Ham earned a corner from the right flank. Jarrod Bowen crossed into the box and Arsenal failed to clear, allowing Callum Wilson to fire a shot that appeared to cross the goal line. However, the referee consulted VAR and determined that Pablo had used his arm to block David Raya's jump for the ball in the six-yard box, ruling it a foul. West Ham was denied the goal, and Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory.

After 36 matches, Arsenal increased their points to 79 and maintained their lead, sitting five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, though Arsenal has played one more match. West Ham remained on 36 points in 18th place, desperately fighting to avoid relegation. This result left only two teams in the drop zone—West Ham and 17th-place Tottenham Hotspur—as 15th-place Nottingham Forest and 16th-place Leeds United held a 7-point advantage over West Ham, but West Ham had only two remaining matches to play.

Other results: Burnley drew with Aston Villa 2-2, Crystal Palace drew with Everton 2-2, and Nottingham Forest drew with Newcastle United 1-1.

Thailand now has a representative competing for the Miss World crown after Namphuing Kanthira Techapatthanaakul was crowned Miss World Thailand 2026, offering another glimmer of hope for Thai pageant enthusiasts seeking to make history on the world stage.

The 25-year-old grew up in a Thai Yai ethnic family in Chiang Rai province. Unlike many others, her life did not begin with advantages—she was once a stateless child who lacked even basic rights including access to education, freedom of movement, or security for the future. However, instead of surrendering to these limitations, Namphuing chose to use her life as proof that "life circumstances" cannot determine where dreams lead.

In 2019, she was selected to represent Thai youth in a science project competition in the United States. However, a critical opportunity nearly slipped away when her visa was denied due to her lack of Thai nationality. While this might have defeated many, for Namphuing it became motivation to push forward relentlessly. After obtaining Thai citizenship, she successfully competed and won a Special Award from USAID for humanitarian assistance for her research on developing seed coatings made from local rubber trees to increase survival rates of rain-fed rice crops—demonstrating genuine commitment to using science to improve community quality of life.

Namephuing graduated from the Medical Technology program at Chiang Mai University and served as president of the student association, showcasing leadership and dedication to public service. She currently works as a medical technician, a profession reflecting her commitment to caring for people through health science knowledge.

She has been invited to meetings with UNHCR alongside representatives from 16 countries to exchange solutions on statelessness at the regional level—a significant step for someone once "invisible to the system" who has become an important voice for those facing similar circumstances.

A key aspect of her identity is driving the "DARE YOUR DREAM" project, which creates educational opportunities for stateless and unregistered children and youth in Thailand—work she has pursued for over four years. The project believes "education" is the key to opening doors to better futures for all children.

The initiative aims to provide universal and equitable access to basic education while advancing higher education opportunities, life skills development, and hope for the next generation so they can grow with quality and secure career prospects. "DARE YOUR DREAM" also aims to expand educational opportunities to international levels to ensure stateless children receive equitable rights to education globally.

Namephuing and the DARE YOUR DREAM project believe that "education, opportunity, and hope are essential keys to opening doors to the future for stateless children," as when all children and youth receive equal opportunities, they can truly thrive.
