Vietjet Thailand launched its new 'Fly2Ferry' supplementary service on April 27, 2025, connecting air and sea travel through a unified booking system to streamline journeys to Thailand's southern islands. The service operates on three routes: Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) to Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan, providing convenient, fast, and efficient travel options. Passengers can now reserve tickets and travel via Fly2Ferry starting immediately.

Pinnayos Piboolsongkram, Deputy Executive Vice President for Commercial Affairs and Customer Relations at Vietjet Thailand, stated: "Fly2Ferry represents a significant step in elevating air-to-sea travel connections, enabling passengers to book both flights and ferry tickets in a single transaction with seamless access to popular island destinations. Southern Thailand's islands continue to attract travelers worldwide—from Koh Samui's renowned beaches and natural beauty to Koh Phangan's world-class entertainment venues and Koh Tao's status as a premier diving destination. The Fly2Ferry service makes accessing these prime tourism destinations even more convenient through comprehensive service offerings while supporting our airline's network expansion strategy and laying groundwork for future island routes."

The Fly2Ferry service operates through Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat airports, connecting to Thailand's popular islands. Upon arrival, passengers can use shuttle services to Don Sak Pier (Lomprayah) to board high-speed ferries operated by Lomprayah Hispeed Ferries Co., Ltd., with stops at Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan as the final destination for both outbound and return journeys.

Passengers can book tickets with the Fly2Ferry service through www.vietjetair.com, the Vietjet Thailand mobile application, or Vietjet Thailand customer service centers.

Promotional Offer: To celebrate the service launch, Vietjet Thailand is offering a 30% discount on ferry fares, with introductory rates starting at just 1,100 baht for adults and 550 baht for children. Bookings are available from today through May 31, 2025, with travel dates from April 22 to September 30, 2025.

On April 27, 2025, at the Criminal Court on Ratchadamri Road, the Special Cases Prosecution Division brought two renowned actors, Sam Yuranun Phommontri and Min Pichaya Wattanamontri, to face fraud charges related to the D-Icon case. Following this development, Witthoon Kaengngarn, lawyer for the D-Icon Group defendants, expressed surprise that both actors faced identical charges as other D-Icon suspects. The legal team learned of the charges on Thursday but remained unclear why they were being prosecuted. Witthoon stated that whether they can be acquitted depends on the court's judgment.

Witthoon suggested the court should re-examine the witnesses or question the prosecutor about the case details. He noted that while prosecutors typically don't undergo preliminary examination in such cases, the court may do so if there is sufficient cause. He emphasized he was not pressuring the court but wanted it to consider whether a preliminary hearing was warranted, pointing out that Min Pichaya served as a presenter in 2023 while Sam Yuranun became a presenter around October 2023.

Regarding the chain recruitment charges involving public borrowing, Witthoon explained that evidence had been submitted to the court. During Friday's witness examination, the Central Investigation Police testified. Witthoon revealed that the initial investigation began October 10, 2023, with arrest warrants issued October 16—a span of only 5-6 days.

Concerning the 'Dealer get Dealer' promotion scheme, Witthoon noted that the Office of Fiscal Economics initially believed participants received regular monthly payments. However, DSI investigation later confirmed payments were made only once, to those who referred new customers, not to the customers themselves. Witness testimonies consistently confirmed this single payment structure.

Witthoon highlighted a critical discrepancy: the fiscal office calculated 4 percent monthly returns (10,000 baht on 250,000 baht purchases), multiplied by 12 months equaling 48 percent annually, and with five lines of recruitment reaching 480 percent—leading them to classify it as chain recruitment. However, testimonies revealed only a single payment, which legally constitutes a commission or brokerage fee, not illegal chain recruitment.

When asked about the five charges against the actors, Witthoon stated that from a legal standpoint, they do not meet the criteria. However, once charges are filed, the court must determine which counts are valid. He noted that among the alleged 7,000+ victims, the court must determine when each became a presenter rather than simply prosecuting wholesale. Regarding the chain recruitment charge, Witthoon argued the court should reconsider whether such an indictment is appropriate, as the charges are serious.

On April 27, 2569, during a Senate session presided over by Deputy Senate President General Kriengsak Sriraksa, Senator Sereni Anilobol raised urgent questions to Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Supachee Suthammaphan regarding declining crude palm oil prices and export controls that have burdened farmers.

Supachee clarified that the government has no policy restricting exports. As of April 23, there were 140,000 tonnes of export requests, all of which were approved. The export ceiling stands at 200,000 tonnes, though approvals require consideration by relevant agencies, such as allocations for energy production. She noted that crude palm oil prices fluctuate based on market mechanisms, currently in a declining trend, with Malaysian prices at 37.48 baht per kilogram compared to domestic prices of 38 baht per kilogram.

Supachee explained that when export prices are lower than domestic prices, exporters naturally lack incentive to sell abroad. She emphasized the Commerce Ministry's holistic approach and confirmed there is no export ban policy, only an export licensing requirement.

Sereni further questioned whether officials were accurately verifying palm oil stock figures and suggested clear policies on B30, B40, and B50 biodiesel blends similar to Indonesia's approach. He also requested increased farmer representation on the National Palm Oil Policy Committee (KNOP) rather than solely private sector representation.

Supachee responded that she would consider all suggestions and conduct field visits. Regarding Sereni's 'sitting idle' comment, she asked for mutual respect, noting that such language was unconstructive for efficient work. On the biodiesel blending question, she explained that gradual adjustment is necessary while assessing system capacity and balancing impacts on affected parties with energy promotion policies. She agreed to include farmer representatives on KNOP, recognizing farmers as the primary beneficiaries.

Reporters noted that after Supachee's remarks, Senator Sereni requested to withdraw the phrase 'sitting idle' and replace it with 'help present accurate and complete information.'

A Florida woman driving a lifted Chevrolet Silverado ran over a Lamborghini Huracán in a fitness center parking lot, claiming she couldn't see it. The incident, which went viral on social media, occurred when the lifted truck drove at high speed across the parking lot without braking or swerving, climbing onto the front of the Lamborghini with full force—a sight that seemed surreal to viewers.

The accident was captured on video and shows the Lamborghini searching for a parking spot when the specially lifted Silverado entered the frame at considerable speed. Rather than a normal collision, the pickup truck "climbed" onto the supercar, making the luxury vehicle appear unexpectedly fragile. The dramatic height difference between the low-slung Lamborghini and the elevated truck was a key factor in the unusual nature of the impact.

Good news: No injuries were reported from the incident, and both drivers safely exited their vehicles. However, the substantial damage to the Lamborghini, which has high repair costs, raised significant questions about insurance, liability, and financial responsibility—especially with video evidence already circulating online.

Online reactions have been divided. Some view it as reckless driving in an area requiring low speeds, others point to visibility issues with large lifted vehicles in tight spaces, while truck enthusiasts argue that modified vehicles aren't the problem if used responsibly. The incident has reignited larger questions about the rising trend of lifted trucks and safety concerns like blind spots and braking distance.

What made this clip particularly memorable wasn't just the accident itself, but the surreal image of a pickup truck "climbing" onto a supercar in an unexpected location. Whether this represents a momentary lapse in judgment or signals a bigger problem regarding vehicle size and everyday use remains debated, but the incident has undoubtedly left a lasting impression.

Jubilo Iwata has officially confirmed the release of Pramestsai Ajwilai, striker for the Thai national team, following the conclusion of his loan contract with Muangthong United.

He will now return to Thailand to receive treatment for a torn anterior cruciate ligament, requiring 8-10 months of rehabilitation. The Thai national team striker released a statement through Jubilo's official website, saying: "I am deeply grateful that Jubilo Iwata placed their trust in me." "To my teammates, coaches, staff, and everyone associated with the club, thank you so much for the warm welcome and constant support. My time at Jubilo Iwata is an invaluable and incomparable memory that I will never forget." "Most importantly, I sincerely thank all Jubilo supporters who have cheered us on in the stadium no matter what happens. I will never forget the warm encouragement you have shown me."
