I had the idea on a morning that had no business being as clear as it actually was. Aged 77, I am unsurprised when a certain fog settles over my mornings – over memory and purpose for example – but that day the light over Phuket was sharp as a blade and Basil, my Jack Russell terrier, was already pacing the bedroom, like an impatient admiral.

True Bangkok United has officially secured James Beresford, a 24-year-old Thai-English right back, to strengthen their squad for the 2026/27 season and add depth to their attacking play along the flank.

Beresford began his football career in England and gained experience playing in the National League South with Worthing FC before moving to Thailand to join Udon Thani FC in the 2023/24 season. He was selected for the TOYOTA THAI LEAGUE BEST XI 2023/24 in the right back position following the FA Thailand Awards announcement.

Over three seasons with Udon Thani, Beresford established himself as a consistent key player for the team. He appeared in 97 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists, demonstrating his strengths as an attacking right back with pace, bravery, aggression, and effective contribution to the team's offensive play.

At international level, Beresford has been called up to the Thai national team squad, appearing in 4 matches including 1 friendly and 3 matches during the 2024 AFF Championship.

Beresford's arrival will provide additional options for True Bangkok United's right flank play and strengthen the team's defensive line as they prepare for the 2026/27 season campaign.

A luxury pig farm has gone viral online after videos emerged showing pig pens decorated like upscale hotel suites or villas, leaving netizens stunned and questioning whether the footage was AI-generated. The pens feature elegant interior design with decorative lighting around the enclosures, air conditioning units, and each pig has its own private swimming pool. At night, the farm illuminates with flashing lights and plays music to create a festive atmosphere.

The farm is actually real and operates in Jiangxi Province, owned by content creator Ju Ta Piao, who has over 1.1 million followers and regularly posts comedic content on Douyin. In early May, he unveiled this "5-star" pig farm, completely renovating the pens with an investment of approximately 300,000 yuan (over 1.4 million baht) to create what resembles a small hotel for pigs. Beyond the luxurious accommodations, the pigs receive excellent care including quality food, fresh fruit, and regular baths. The farm owner deliberately creates viral content with attention-grabbing captions such as "the world's most luxurious pig pen" or "pigs living better than people" to maximize viewership.

The creator stated he takes pig farming seriously and aims to generate income and build a reputation through this business via content creation. While many view it as a novel idea, critics argue that such decorative designs may not be practical for long-term pig farming, as fully grown pigs could easily damage decorations and complicate sanitation and health control efforts on the farm.

At 10 a.m. on May 19, 2025, local residents reported that a young naval officer sought help after being scammed and abandoned with no money to return to his Bangkok base. The 23-year-old sailor, identified as Petty Officer A, had connected with a woman identified as Ms. N through Instagram just three days prior. She messaged him proposing a meetup in Chachoengsao and claimed she would pay for a ride-sharing service. They met around 11 p.m. on May 18 near a roadside pavilion at the Bypass intersection in Panasnikhom, Na Pla subdistrict, Muang district, Chachoengsao province. When she suggested going out, he told her he had no money, saying he only brought "his body and heart." She then asked him to wait while she went to withdraw cash from an ATM on her motorcycle—and never returned. After waiting until dawn with no sign of her, the sailor realized he'd been duped and approached nearby residents for help. A good Samaritan assisted him by purchasing a minivan ticket at the Chalom Thai intersection and providing travel money back to Bangkok. The sailor issued a warning to other young men not to trust beautiful women online, as they may face similar situations.

Sodor Style, whose real name is Pimlada Wawtaisong, has issued a public apology after posting controversial questions about sexual assault that triggered heavy criticism online. Her original post had questioned certain aspects of assault cases in a way many found insensitive and inappropriate.

In her apology, Sodor Style expressed genuine remorse, saying: "I sincerely apologize for the previous post. When I posted it, I didn't think carefully enough and didn't realize how much my words could hurt so many people's feelings."

She continued: "After reading news related to this topic recently and reviewing my own post, I realized it wasn't what I actually intended to communicate. I felt terrible because it's a sensitive subject that shouldn't be discussed for any reason whatsoever."

Sodor Style emphasized her support for survivors, stating: "Especially to those who have had experiences with such terrible situations, I'm sorry for making you feel worse or uncomfortable. I now understand that some words, even without bad intentions, can genuinely hurt others' feelings."

She also mentioned consulting with a friend knowledgeable about law and who had personal experience with such trauma, gaining deeper understanding of the psychological impact and emotional scars survivors endure. "I have no excuses," she said, noting she has already deleted the problematic post.

Sodor Style reaffirmed her commitment to supporting survivors and pledged to become an advocate for sexual harassment awareness: "I'm willing to be a voice about Sexual Harassment and will study this more thoroughly. I will stand by all who have been harmed. Thank you to everyone who reminded me and made me reflect on myself again. I sincerely apologize and hope to prove through my actions that I have learned from this mistake."

In a follow-up post, Sodor Style clarified her position by sharing a previous supportive post she made about Tray Scott five days earlier, emphasizing: "Why try to find fault? Check the date of the post—I shared it five days ago to show whose side I've been on. What reason would someone like me have to victim-blame?"
