Buddha expresses shock after revealing allegations against a famous past-life fortune teller he once respected, who now faces sexual misconduct charges. He appeals to celebrities, country singers, and models to come forward. Young Kongkraphan also expresses surprise, revealing he once brought Mekhla Winai to visit the fortune teller.

A 32-year-old businessman filed a complaint through the "Sai Mai Tong Rohd" page against a renowned fortune teller from northern Thailand. The accused is famous for having many celebrity disciples and claims to communicate with hell and heaven. The businessman alleges he was sexually assaulted three times, with the perpetrator claiming it was treatment and karma resolution. Charges are being prepared with authorities.

Buddha Aphiwan expressed shock upon reading the news, saying he was surprised someone he once respected could behave this way. He declined to name the person but said he spoke with a disciple. Buddha mentioned several celebrities who have visited this fortune teller, including Vinai Kraibutr, Tik Glinsee, and Young Kongkraphan.

Young Kongkraphan expressed surprise, revealing when he accompanied Mekhla Winai to visit the famous past-life fortune teller. Kongkraphan described the fortune teller, saying: "He had special perception, could identify your karma debtor. When you visited, he'd tell you to pay respects at five different temples, then return on a full moon day when he'd reveal who your karma debtor was. But there was never any private room, no undressing. That went on for many years."

"After he became famous, I don't know what he did because I haven't visited him in many years," Kongkraphan continued. "He worked voluntarily without asking for money, helping people. I brought Mekhla because there were no medications, no injections, just herbal remedies—no risks. It was just asking forgiveness from whoever was perceived as the karma debtor and resolving it together. He worked out of good will."

"We felt he was helping people. Even though it seemed unbelievable, it wasn't wrong. He never pressured anyone or demanded money," Kongkraphan said. "But with news like this, we wait for the evidence. It's a personal matter. I never knew him from this angle. When we visited, we were like other people waiting for hours because so many came. When I brought Mekhla, he wasn't this famous yet—he became well-known because of that event."

"I haven't visited him in many years, don't know what's happened, don't know him that well. We just came to film a show, like inviting a guest. That's all."

Regarding the disciple's response, program sources reported that the fortune teller is aware of the news but doesn't want to make statements or give interviews. If the accuser considers himself a victim, authorities should file charges and arrest the fortune teller. The fortune teller has a lawyer and is fighting the allegations vigorously. The other party may have intentionally tried to damage the fortune teller's reputation or doesn't understand the karma resolution procedures.

Sources indicated that in the Siwalungka ritual, a man uses water from swallowing a deity's image and splashes it on the fortune teller's face, but permission is requested first. Anyone who doesn't consent can refuse—there's no force involved.

Buddha unveiled still images in the program showing an elderly person and posed the question: who is this and what do they do? Evidence exists. Buddha ended the program by appealing to celebrity disciples and models to come forward, saying that if the alleged misconduct occurred, it's not karma resolution.

At 2:30 AM on May 7, 2025, Pol. Lt. Col. Phachawee Reungphu, commander of the Kanchanaburi Provincial Police, along with Pol. Maj. Sittipong Sangsaeng, superintendent of Ladyai Police Station, led investigators from both Ladyai Station and the provincial police to arrest Chayant (surname withheld), who shot Sariree (surname withheld), 54, his ex-mother-in-law, causing serious injuries. Satya (surname withheld), 32, Sariree's son, and Songwan (surname withheld), 64, his ex-father-in-law, were killed in the incident at a residence in Tambon Ladyai, Muang District, Kanchanaburi Province.

Chayant was apprehended on a public road in Tambon Nong Bua, Muang District, carrying a Glock 17 handgun in 9mm, seven 9mm rounds, and one magazine.

Initial charges against Chayant include premeditated murder, attempted premeditated murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition without registration, and carrying weapons through populated areas without justifiable cause.

According to preliminary interrogation, Chayant, a former son-in-law of the victims, had family disputes stemming from a divorce. The family previously cultivated sugarcane on approximately 700 rai of land. When Chayant's ex-wife filed for divorce in late 2024, the court awarded all the sugarcane crops to her family but granted Chayant a portion of the land. When the ex-wife's family harvested the sugarcane but did not clear it from Chayant's section, preventing him from preparing his land for new planting, he requested their cooperation. After receiving no response to his requests, Chayant rode to the house to demand when they would clear the sugarcane but was ignored, prompting him to commit the attack. Authorities continue investigating the full circumstances.

Bedrock Analytics, a subsidiary of AI & Robotics Ventures (ARV) and expert in data infrastructure development, location intelligence platforms, and spatial data services, has partnered with RISE, a regional innovation accelerator, to host an open house event. The event welcomed Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) executives, staff, and participants in the Talent to Innovator program, led by Deputy Governor Thanom Ratneseth, to demonstrate how Location Intelligence and AI technology can optimize public sector infrastructure and asset management across the country.

Veerawat Rathavara, co-founder of Bedrock Analytics, highlighted the critical role of spatial data in Thailand's development, stating: "As cities expand rapidly, spatial data becomes a key mechanism for national development. Bedrock Analytics has developed Location Intelligence and AI technology to serve as an 'intelligent assistant' for government agencies. We are confident that leveraging technology for asset management will reduce costs, increase accuracy, enhance transparency standards, and drive Thailand toward becoming a concrete digital government."

To demonstrate practical applications, Bedrock Analytics showcased three key innovations: AI for Surveying, which automates field data collection from satellite imagery, drones, mobile mapping systems, and IoT networks, significantly reducing time and labor while improving data completeness; Smart Asset Management, which transitions from traditional to real-time digital systems, automatically detecting and recording public asset conditions to prevent loss and enable predictive maintenance planning; and Land Change Detection, which combines GIS with AI to continuously monitor land-use changes, urban expansion trends, and detect illegal land use or public encroachment.

Luis Enrique, head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, praised his team's defensive performance that enabled them to overcome Bayern Munich while also commending Arsenal from England, who will be their Champions League final opponent this season.

In the second leg of the 2025-26 Champions League semi-final on May 6, Bayern drew 1-1 at home against defending champions PSG. The visiting team took the lead through Ousmane Dembélé in the 3rd minute, before the home side equalized through Harry Kane in the 90+4th minute.
