PATTAYA — Two Chinese nationals were arrested after a car crash in Chonburi led police to uncover a cache of military-grade weapons, explosives and C4 explosive devices at a rented house in Pattaya area, police said on Friday.

The incident began on the evening of 8 May when a white sedan overturned on its own along the old railway parallel road in Huay Yai subdistrict, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province. Police believed rain and slippery road conditions may have caused the accident.

Officers from Huay Yai Police Station arrived at the scene and found two Chinese nationals identified as Ma Yu Hsih and Sun Mingchen. During an inspection of the vehicle, police discovered a handgun inside the car and detained both suspects for questioning.

The investigation later expanded to a house in The Maple village in Moo 2 of Huay Yai subdistrict, where authorities discovered a large cache of weapons and military equipment. Items seized included two M4 rifles, 13 fully loaded magazines, two detonators, hand grenades, ammunition and multiple bulletproof vests.

Police sources said two black and brown tactical vests were found packed with C4 explosives. All items were seized for further examination.

Authorities said the suspects were Chinese men from China's plateau region who entered Thailand using alien identification documents. Police said they had no clear occupation and rented the house in Pattaya area.

During questioning, the suspects allegedly claimed they purchased the weapons through social media and arranged delivery in Rayong province. They reportedly told investigators the weapons were bought for personal collection purposes and for use in a planned suicide attempt.

Police said Sun Mingchen, 31, told investigators he previously operated a liquor business in Cambodia before relocating to Thailand following border tensions. He allegedly claimed he intended to carry out a suicide bombing because he suffered from depression.

Authorities said Sun entered Thailand on 27 January 2026 through Suvarnabhumi immigration checkpoint, while the female Chinese national entered on 24 April 2026.

However, investigators said they were unconvinced by the explanations because the seized weapons were military-grade arms with high destructive capability typically used in combat operations.

Police said the explosives discovered included C4, a high-powered military explosive commonly associated with combat missions and terrorist attacks. Ammunition seized included 5.56mm M193 rounds.

National police chief Pol. Gen. Kitrat Phanphet ordered an intensive investigation into all security and public safety dimensions of the case. Police said no direct links to a planned attack had yet been established, but authorities were continuing to investigate the origins of the weapons and explosives.

Investigators also revealed further details about Sun's background. Police said he had rented the house for 38,000 baht per month and had lived there for around two years.

LONDON (AP) — The BBC is hosting a party for David Attenborough at the Royal Albert Hall. Cinemas are playing his nature films. Friends have spent weeks lavishing praise on the man and his work.

But the world's most famous wildlife presenter is likely to be uncomfortable with all the attention as he celebrates his 100th birthday on Friday, said Alastair Fothergill, the producer of some of Attenborough's most well-known documentaries and the director of Silverback Films.

"He's always been very clear to all of us that work with him: 'Remember, the animals are the stars, I'm not,'" Fothergill told The Associated Press. "So, yes, surprisingly for one of the most famous men on the planet, he doesn't like being famous at all."

Glorious gorillas

But Attenborough has had to accept the accolades this week as scientists, politicians and conservationists celebrated the man who has brought frolicking gorillas, breaching whales and tiny poisonous frogs into living rooms around the world for more than 70 years.

Through BBC programs such as Life on Earth, The Private Life of Plants and The Blue Planet, Attenborough has illuminated the beauty, ferocity and sometimes downright weirdness of nature in a hushed melodic voice that conveys his own awe at what he is witnessing.

Viewers who might never leave their hometowns were transported to the Himalayas, the Amazon and the unexplored forests of Papua New Guinea. But behind the stunning images was an attention to scientific accuracy that helped teach people about complex subjects like evolution, animal behavior and biodiversity.

And as the evidence mounted, he began to sound the alarm about climate change, ocean plastic and other human-caused threats to the planet.

That helped people understand not only how life evolved but, more importantly, why we have to protect it, said Professor Ben Garrod, an evolutionary biologist at the University of East Anglia and himself a broadcaster who has worked alongside Attenborough.

Attenborough, Garrod believes, initially saw himself as a neutral observer but was compelled to speak out when he saw that politicians, business leaders and the public weren't taking the emergency seriously.

"He is showing you the majesty, the ferocity, the fragility of the natural world. He shouldn't have ever had to have turned to policymaking and advocacy," Garrod said.

"I think it's very easy for a lot of people to say, 'He should have done it sooner. Why didn't he act 20 years, 30 years, 40 years ago?'" Garrod then asked: "Why didn't we?"

Fond of fossils from the start

Born in London on May 8, 1926, the same year as the late Queen Elizabeth II, Attenborough was raised on the grounds of what is now the University of Leicester, where his father was a senior lead

A dramatic assault took place in São Paulo, Brazil when a young woman returned to a hair salon armed with a knife after being dissatisfied with her haircut and having her refund request denied. The attacker, identified as Laís Gabriela Barboza da Cunha, 27, struck on the afternoon of May 5 at a salon on São Paulo's west side.

Security camera footage shows Laís approaching from behind 29-year-old hairdresser Eduardo Ferrari and stabbing him in the back with a knife. Ferrari managed to evade the attack, and staff and security personnel quickly subdued the assailant and seized the weapon before police arrived. She was arrested on charges of assault and threats. Fortunately, Ferrari sustained only minor injuries and was hospitalized without life-threatening complications.

Investigation revealed that Laís had visited the salon on April 7, initially pleased with the work and even posting positive reviews on social media. Days later, she complained about her hair and demanded a refund. The salon insisted they had provided the agreed-upon service and refused the refund, suggesting she pursue the matter through legal channels. Subsequently, Laís sent threatening messages to the stylist, even threatening to "burn him alive."

Laís claimed the stylist had secretly cut her bangs too thin, making her look like a cartoon character, which prompted her to return. When security personnel attempted to escort her out, she seized the moment while Ferrari was serving another customer and stabbed him from behind.

Witnesses reported that even after being apprehended, Laís continued shouting threats, saying "If he doesn't return my money, he'll die anyway" and threatening to hire someone else to attack the stylist. Police have retained the knife as evidence and are proceeding with assault and threats charges. Ferrari's legal team believes the case should be upgraded to attempted murder charges given the attacker's prior death threats and the deliberate stab to the back.

Weekly Horoscope Trends (May 10-16, 2026) by Setsathavut

Aries (Mesha): This week brings a steady stream of small windfalls that, when combined, amount to substantial gains. Don't dismiss minor good fortune. Though the path forward resembles a journey with occasional rain showers, you'll persevere to reach your destination. Business dealings and negotiations will succeed, though you may need to negotiate back and forth before achieving your goals. Personal matters look promising and you'll often gain the advantage, but work will present considerable headaches, requiring patience beyond what many colleagues experience.

Taurus (Pritsabha): This week you benefit from excellent foresight in anticipating future events before they occur. You may juggle multiple roles or positions, even adopting different personas for social situations, and may increase side professional work. You're well-protected from enemies with sufficient immunity against those who might take advantage. Your thoughts remain clear and sharp, but business partners will cause significant stress, and you may make hasty work decisions. Cherished items from loved ones may deteriorate, or romantic relationships lack the stability they should have.

Gemini (Mitthun): Everything you do this week will be under community observation. Whatever you do well, others will imitate without regard for social conventions. Some will try learning from your expertise but won't grasp it as well. Disputes among associates may arise—getting involved could cause trouble unless your children are involved. Money flows reasonably, but business negotiations and agreements should be approached carefully without expecting excellent results.

Cancer (Krakrut): You're particularly interested in work and investment matters this week, but beware of seeing things incorrectly or having opinions that don't align with proper standards. Misinformation that you stubbornly believe could damage your credibility and make you vulnerable to fraud. Financial matters may shake you, and old enemies won't threaten you until May passes. Once it does, you'll have the wisdom to handle opposition easily. Profits come from various sources, but intelligence and learning aren't clear now. Romance flows smoothly and closely.

Leo (Singha): This week you're fortunate in work involving imagination and creativity. However, poor karma may turn you into a profit-chasing gambler or stock trader, initially gaining then losing everything. Your accurate forecasting ability isn't necessarily beneficial—use this special ability wisely for real personal advantage. Worries about land, real estate, agriculture, or earthly possessions may arise, and foreign nationals or language barriers could easily provoke disputes. Couples may frequently clash.

Virgo (Kan): [Content incomplete in original]

Arrest warrants are being prepared for two suspects nicknamed "Tae" and "James" in connection with a shooting that left 24-year-old delivery worker Anuruk (surname withheld) critically injured outside a house in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani Province. The victim was shot four times with a 9mm weapon—twice in the abdomen, once in the left shoulder, and once in the left leg.

On May 9, 2025, police at Khlong Luang Station, led by Deputy Superintendent Chalat Hom-ngern, along with officers Nawachai Chomchai and Pongnoppon Rungroj, held an urgent meeting to pursue the case. They summoned Chatadar (surname withheld), 23, the victim's girlfriend, for additional questioning to help identify the suspects.

Deputy Superintendent Chalat stated that investigators have already identified the perpetrators and are gathering evidence to request arrest warrants from the court. The victim remains hospitalized at Thammasat Hospital and cannot yet provide a statement. Police confirmed two people were involved—one fired the weapon while the other served as the getaway driver. Both suspects are known by nicknames "James" and "Tae." Tae reportedly has three to four outstanding cases. It is expected the suspects will be apprehended shortly after the court approves the arrest warrants.

According to Chatadar, the victim currently suffers from paralysis from the waist down. Doctors indicated the most serious concern is spinal damage, which could affect the nervous system and requires close monitoring, particularly if surgery becomes necessary. She stated she does not know the motive for the attack. She described Anuruk as a private delivery truck driver and said she had only briefly encountered James at a friend's birthday party, while she had barely met Tae at all.
