Thailand's under-17 national team failed to advance after suffering a defeat to Saudi Arabia, finishing with zero points across two matches and crashing out of the AFC Championship Group Stage. This also eliminates them from contention for a spot at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The AFC U-17 Championship final tournament is taking place on May 10 at King Abdullah Sports City Hall Stadium. Thailand played their second Group A match against hosts Saudi Arabia, coming off a previous 0-2 loss to Tajikistan, while Saudi Arabia had defeated Myanmar 4-0. Thailand needed at least a draw to keep their knockout hopes alive, while also hoping for Myanmar to beat Tajikistan.

The match turned quickly when Marwan Al-Yami netted for Saudi Arabia as early as the 4th minute, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead. Saudi Arabia sealed the victory with a second goal in the 90+2nd minute from Hassan Alogrush, finishing the match 2-0 in their favor. With this second consecutive loss, Thailand's elimination was confirmed. In the parallel match, Tajikistan narrowly defeated Myanmar 1-0 to secure a perfect six points and a spot in the quarterfinals alongside Saudi Arabia. Thailand and Myanmar are both eliminated from the group stage and will miss the opportunity to qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup final tournament in Qatar.

Erling Braut Haaland, striker for Manchester City, addressed the club's title prospects, stating that if you play for this club, you must think about becoming champions every day.

Manchester City secured a crucial three points with a dominant 3-0 home victory over Brentford in the English Premier League on December 9th. Haaland scored one goal in the match, marking his 26th of the season. The victory brought City's total to 74 points from 36 matches, keeping them two points behind league leaders Arsenal with 76 points from equal games played.

Following the match, Haaland spoke to Sky Sports, saying: "It feels good to win 3-0. We just missed chances at the end today. We created many opportunities but couldn't finish in the final moments of several openings."

"Brentford defended well. They're a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League, so we're happy," he continued.

On the title race, Haaland emphasized: "If you play for Manchester City, you think about being champions every day."

Regarding the upcoming match against Crystal Palace, the Norwegian forward said: "I'm not thinking about which game yet. I'm just tired from this match. The way we approach the next game is by not thinking about it for two days, then trying to win the next one. We recover and the following game is the same."

The Thai Meteorological Department has issued alert no. 9 regarding unstable weather conditions across Thailand with effects lasting until May 10, 2025. Northern, northeastern, eastern, and central regions along with Bangkok and its vicinity will experience thunderstorms with strong gusty winds and heavy rainfall in some areas.

The public is advised to remain cautious against dangers from thunderstorms and strong winds by avoiding open spaces, large trees, unstable structures, and weak signboards.

On May 9, 2026, at The Bazaar Bangkok hotel in Ratchadamri Road, Chatuchak District, Nai Phobphut Inpan, known as "Mahanueng the Amulet Expert," brought a garland to apologize to Ms. Dorn Tianwavorn, known as Madame Kaeng, the associate of Ton Bangkae, a famous amulet collector. This came after Mahanueng gave interviews on several prominent programs claiming Madame Kaeng had ordered his kidnapping to collect a 30 million baht debt—a claim he now admits was false.

Mahanueng acknowledged that his claims about being kidnapped were untrue, admitting they stemmed from his own anxiety and suspicion. He has multiple debts to various creditors and feared being named one of nine blacklisted amulet dealers under police investigation. Out of concern about his financial situation, he gave interviews to several programs, causing damage to Madame Kaeng's reputation.

Madame Kaeng firmly denied ever threatening or kidnapping anyone, stating Mahanueng is not among the nine dealers being prosecuted. She believes he may have been manipulated by certain groups into misunderstanding the situation. She also announced she would forgive the remaining 7 million baht debt entirely.

Regarding the 65 million baht check case and arrest warrant against "Jen" (amulet dealer Jen Piyathat), Madame Kaeng explained that she had signed a personal check as a guarantee for a 53-piece amulet purchase valued at 65 million baht with three amulet dealers. She later discovered some amulets had been pawned to others. When negotiations to retrieve them failed, she stopped payment on the check and filed a report at Thung Mahamek Police Station.

Madame Kaeng admitted she was previously arrested due to miscommunication after relocating to Ayutthaya province for tax purposes, which caused her to miss the court summons at her original address. Upon learning of the issue, she immediately posted 4 million baht bail to fight the case.

Madame Kaeng presented evidence showing that on May 5, 2026, investigators and prosecutors decided not to prosecute in this case. Regarding charges filed directly by the opposing party in court, she stated this is their legal right, and she is prepared to present evidence of her innocence at the preliminary hearing scheduled for late this month.
