Narathiwat — The 4th Army Region held a water blessing ceremony and memorial service for Sergeant Major Adisorn Kambunchoo, a ranger with the 1106 Ranger Company who was killed by a bomb planted by militants while on duty. Security officials have identified the perpetrators as members of the Tawajep-Sulkipli group, with authorities intensifying efforts to bring them to justice.

On May 12, at Wat Bang Nara in Muang District, Narathiwat Province, Maj. Gen. Nartip Phoynanok, commander of the 4th Army Region, presided over the ceremony honoring Sergeant Major Adisorn Kambunchoo of the 11th Special Operations Ranger Regiment. The officer died in a bombing incident on May 11 while performing duties on the Sungai Kolok-Lok-Waeng road in Ban Namkhao Village, Kayu Khalah Subdistrict, Waeng District.

Senior military and government officials attended, including Deputy Governor Nakhrinun Kamrai, representing Narathiwat's provincial governor. Wreaths were presented on behalf of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, Defense Minister Anudom Boonthermcharoen, Army Commander Phinnakrit Khlaewplodthuk, and the 4th Army Region command.

The 4th Army Region presented the Bangrachan Medal, a certificate of honor, and funeral assistance funds to the deceased's family. Provincial authorities also provided 500,000 baht in compensation, 30,000 baht from the Thai Hearts Foundation, and 5,000 baht from the Red Cross. The ranger's remains were then transported to his hometown in Khon Kaen Province for religious rites.

Investigators believe the bombing was carried out by the Tawajep-Sulkipli militant group, led by Tawajep Metharongkham and Sulkipli Mana, command-level operatives active in the border regions of Waeng, Sungai Patani, and Sungai Kolok districts. Authorities are actively collecting evidence and reviewing surveillance footage to pursue the perpetrators.

Authorities conducting overnight patrols discovered a Nissan pickup truck running inside a public park in Lampang and were shocked to find a male corpse in the driver's seat. Officers are working to locate the man's relatives.

On May 12, 2569, Deputy Inspector Phasworn Boonthiem of Muang Lampang Police Station revealed that at 11:30 PM on May 11, police received a report of a death inside a vehicle in the Wanalai Public Park, Moo 1, Phra Baht Subdistrict, Muang District, Lampang Province. Officers immediately rushed to investigate along with patrol units, an on-call physician, and forensic personnel from the Lampang Rescue Association.

At the scene, they discovered a Nissan pickup truck with Lampang registration running inside the park. Inside the vehicle, they found a deceased man in the driver's seat, identified as Mr. A (alias), age 59. Authorities found no signs of struggle or abnormalities. Officers also discovered a charcoal-filled container inside the vehicle, prompting them to secure the scene and conduct a thorough investigation before the preliminary autopsy examination. Relatives were contacted but expressed uncertainty about the cause of death.

After completing the initial investigation, authorities transported the body to the hospital for further autopsy and proceeded with legal procedures.

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.

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.

PHETCHABUN — 12 May 2026, A village chief in northern Thailand has installed CCTV cameras after repeated illegal dumping by outsiders along a roadside, with the latest footage clearly capturing a man unloading rubbish from a small farm vehicle.

The village chief warned residents not to copy the behaviour "until it becomes the community's rubbish dump" and said legal action and fines could follow if the problem continues.

A local Facebook user posted a message online saying: "There are warning signs and cameras installed. You should dispose of your own rubbish properly. Illegal dumping is punishable by law."

The post included CCTV footage showing a man driving a locally made agricultural vehicle, known as an "e-tan", before dumping waste by the roadside. The clip sparked criticism on social media.

The account was later identified as belonging to Sombun Phunoi, village chief of Nong O village in tambon Pak Chong, Lom Sak district, Phetchabun province, who has been monitoring illegal dumping in the area for some time.

Speaking to reporters at the site, Sombun said the location was the second hotspot where repeated dumping had been detected. Most offenders were believed to come from outside Pak Chong because local communities already had organised waste collection systems.

He said many cases involved residents from neighbouring areas without rubbish collection services or suitable disposal sites, leading them to dump household waste illegally.

"Once rubbish starts piling up, other people passing through tend to follow, and it becomes a long-term problem," he said.

The accumulation of waste has caused foul odours, damaged the community's image and created health risks, particularly from organic waste that can attract flies, rats and disease.

Sombun said village security volunteers, community committee members and residents had previously helped monitor the area before officials decided to use village funds to install CCTV cameras to collect evidence.

He urged the public not to dump rubbish in public areas because it dirties shared spaces and affects the wider community.

If the offences continue, he said village authorities may report offenders to police or coordinate with local public health officials to impose fines under Thai law.

Under Thailand's Public Health Act of 1992 and local regulations, those caught dumping rubbish in public places can face financial penalties.
