On May 8 at 11 p.m., police from Khlong Luang Station received a report of a shooting at Suthirak Pattana Community, Moo 9, Khlong Song Subdistrict, Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani Province. Officers rushed to the scene and found Anurak (name withheld), 24, a delivery driver, severely wounded with three gunshot wounds from a 9mm pistol—two to the abdomen, one to the left shoulder, and one to the left leg. He was rushed to Thammasat University Hospital. A large pool of blood was found at the front door, and three 9mm shell casings were recovered. A motorcycle parked in front also sustained bullet damage.

Anurak's sister, Usa (name withheld), 29, stated that her brother worked as a delivery driver and had recently reconciled with his girlfriend after they had separated. She was unaware of any conflicts he may have had.

The homeowner reported hearing five gunshots fired into the house. During questioning, the girlfriend, Chathadar (name withheld), 23, revealed that two suspects named Te and James arrived in a white SUV. James had previously called her boyfriend to arrange a meeting. When they came outside, Te got out of the vehicle and demanded she get in, but she refused. A struggle ensued, and Te pulled out a gun and fired 3-4 shots before fleeing.

Chathadar explained that Te was someone her boyfriend knew who had asked him to go to Nong Khai, though she didn't know the purpose. She and her boyfriend had only recently reconciled after breaking up and were living separately. When Te arrived today, her boyfriend initially wanted to go with him, but declined because of work commitments, which sparked an argument. Te used a dark-colored pistol. Police have identified the suspects and are actively pursuing their arrest.

On May 9th, TikTok user @kanlayaphakk posted a harrowing video after becoming trapped in a violent rainstorm on the road alone, unable to continue driving. She described the moment as "nearly fatal," posting "A second from death. First time experiencing rain this intense. #Summer storm 7/5/2569 #Death was just within reach."

In the video, she was forced to pull over after visibility dropped to almost zero as heavy rain poured down. Looking ahead, she could see only white as intense wind gusts bent trees. She mentioned motorcycles were parked nearby when suddenly the power pole in front of her vehicle collapsed, triggering a terrifying explosion before the clip ended. The incident occurred on May 7th in the Nong Chok area of Bangkok.

After the post went viral, many expressed concern about the safety of the motorcyclists nearby. The poster confirmed they were safe. Internet users also shared survival advice, recommending turning on hazard lights and interior lights, moving the car to an open area away from trees, sharing location with family, and staying calm and mentally focused.

The poster later explained that the rain was extremely heavy from the start, making it impossible to see the road. She pulled over and turned on hazard lights, initially fearing a rear-end collision, but never expected a power pole to collapse. She felt fortunate to have pulled over beforehand, noting that continuing to drive would have been impossible at that moment and she was relieved not to have stopped directly under the falling pole.

An inmate identified as Saeksorn has been captured in Chon Buri Province after escaping from Thanyaburi District Prison in Pathum Thani while participating in a vocational training program outside prison walls. Despite having only 23 days remaining on his sentence, the prisoner fled on May 7. His father suspected the inmate had gone to locate his missing wife, who had left home due to domestic problems.

On May 8, Phitakphong Noiphitaksa, the commander of Thanyaburi District Prison, led coordinated efforts with prison officials, the Department of Corrections, Region 1 Highway Police, and officers from Thanyaburi and Chon Buri police stations to apprehend the escapee. After authorities cordoned off and searched key locations along the escape route and relatives' homes, Saeksorn contacted his family to coordinate his surrender to prison officials at approximately 9:50 p.m. on May 8. He was arrested on Highway 344 in Ban Bueng District, Chon Buri. Officials determined that family problems motivated the escape, as the inmate sought to resolve personal issues before completing his sentence.

English Premier League club Bournemouth has announced the removal of Spanish right-back Alex Gimenez from the squad due to an investigation into a social media chat scandal. Previously released screenshots and videos showed that Gimenez attempted to groom a 15-year-old girl. Although the girl disclosed her age in the conversations, the player continued his advances. Bournemouth's statement read: "Bournemouth is aware of the material being circulated on social media concerning Alex and is currently undertaking an investigation. As a result, Alex will not be included in the squad for the Premier League match against Fulham on May 9. The club will not be making further comment at this time." Gimenez joined Bournemouth on loan from AC Milan in September 2025 before the club decided to purchase him permanently in February, signing him through 2031.
