What a great older brother! Fort Nuttawut treated his younger sister to a birthday gift and showed unwavering support. He revealed his packed schedule this year and expressed excitement about his upcoming first solo concert.

Fort recently released a new single called "Stay With Me," and his first-ever solo concert is coming this year. Fans can look forward to seeing Fort in various capacities—through his acting performances, music, solo concerts, and theater productions. On April 27th, Fort appeared at an Oxe'Cure event as the new brand representative for acne care, updating fans on his busy year ahead.

Fort shared that his 2024 schedule is packed with music releases, series, a solo concert, and theater work. The newly released "Stay With Me" is a sweet, easy-to-listen-to track, and for his first solo concert, he admitted feeling quite nervous since it's a new challenge for him. He's committed to delivering his best performance and giving fans a complete show experience.

He also revealed a touching moment about his relationship with his younger sister—he gave her gold as a birthday present. He described himself as both protective and caring, but doesn't pressure or restrict her choices. Whatever she needs, her older brother is ready to support her.

Regarding the new song release, Fort shared that he hadn't memorized the lyrics yet since he'd been focused on filming series. The music video features actress Prim, and he was delighted she participated. The song has a sweet, affectionate vibe with lyrics like "stay with me, can you stay with me until morning?" He joked that the song captures his true personality as someone who's a bit clingy, especially with his mother.

On his first solo concert, Fort expressed nervousness mixed with excitement. This is his first time headlining alone, which he sees as stepping out of his comfort zone. He's uncertain how fans will respond to seeing him as a solo artist rather than in group performances. He wants fans to enjoy a fulfilling show experience.

He acknowledged that his year is demanding with theater, series, and concerts, but he's determined to do his best and show fans different sides of himself. His packed schedule includes a romance series called "Scarlet Heart" and theater productions later in the year, so fans won't have time to miss him. Though he does grab rest when filming breaks allow, like the two-day break he recently had.

The Thai Chamber of Commerce's forecasting center points to weakening purchasing power following Songkran, with overall Labor Day spending this year reaching approximately 2.1 billion baht—a 3% decrease marking the first decline in five years. Worker incomes remain flat, overtime is shrinking, and household debt has surged to nearly 500,000 baht per household, leading authorities to urge accelerated grassroots economic stimulus measures.

Thanaworth Polvichaya, rector of the Thai Chamber of Commerce University and chair of the university's economic and business forecasting center, revealed that this year's Labor Day spending patterns clearly reflect a slowing Thai economy, particularly in consumer spending that has continued declining since Songkran. When counting only Labor Day period spending and excluding the extended holiday period, the sample group showed a clear trend toward less travel, resulting in total spending of approximately 2.1 billion baht—down 3%, representing the first negative growth in five years and the lowest expansion rate in five years.

However, the spending decline isn't dramatic, but rather signals that people are becoming more cautious with money due to concerns about economic conditions, energy prices, and international developments. A key positive factor preventing economic collapse is that the conflict situation hasn't intensified beyond forecasted parameters. If oil prices don't exceed $100-110 per barrel and conflicts resolve within three months, Thailand's economy still has room to move within projected frameworks.

Regarding U.S.-Iran tensions, despite failed negotiations in Pakistan's second round, there are no signs of escalation and diplomatic channels remain open, keeping oil price and global economic risks within original estimates. The forecast for Thailand's 2024 economic growth remains at 1.1-1.5%, down from the previously projected 2%, aligning with the government's estimate of 1.4% growth.

Currently, no signs of severe business liquidity crises, widespread closures, or mass layoffs are visible. However, the labor sector is beginning to feel impacts through stagnant wages, reduced overtime opportunities, and potentially shortened working hours to align with slowing business sales.

"We haven't seen signals of mass layoffs or widespread salary cuts, but what's beginning to emerge is reduced opportunities for overtime work, with potentially fewer working hours and overtime—reflecting economic slowdown but not yet severe crisis," the center stated.

Surveys also reveal worker anxiety about future income, particularly the possibility of earnings declining and employment concerns. While no clear signs of unemployment or layoffs are evident yet, a key survey finding is the changing spending behavior of workers. Most respondents reported spending equal to or less than their earned income, reflecting increased caution with expenditures.

High oil prices and war uncertainty carry dual implications: first, people's new income isn't increasing because business sales are down, reducing overtime and supplementary work opportunities; second, some entrepreneurs are adjusting operational costs for utilities, transportation, and certain goods, which dampens consumer confidence. However, surveys don't yet show living costs dramatically exceeding income, but rather indicate people and workers are choosing to save more.

PHUKET — April 28, 2026. A group of foreign tourists has sparked widespread online criticism after images showed them engaging in inappropriate behavior aboard a moving tuk-tuk in Phuket, according to authorities. Photos shared by a local Facebook page depict several women on the vehicle traveling along Patak Road in Karon subdistrict, Muang district, heading toward Karon Circle. The images appear to show the tourists taking turns removing their underwear and exposing themselves toward vehicles behind them, in full view of other road users and pedestrians. The post quickly generated a wave of social media reactions, with many users condemning the behavior and calling on authorities to take action, including imposing fines or issuing deportation orders. Dashcam footage from a vehicle traveling behind the tuk-tuk reportedly captured the incident clearly. As of April 28, there were no confirmed reports that officials had launched an investigation or identified those involved. The incident has renewed calls for stricter enforcement measures to prevent inappropriate conduct in key tourist areas.

Looking for love in Bangkok? Thai celebrity PunPun is sharing her unconventional matchmaking method that's taking social media by storm. According to PunPun, a fortune teller once told her she had everything in life except a husband, so she was directed to pray at the Trimurti statue outside CentralWorld with 100 red roses in hand. She stood before the statue and earnestly prayed: "Please let my soulmate find me quickly, and keep the wrong people away." To her amazement, her Line app buzzed with a message almost immediately after she finished praying—a response so quick that even professional matchmakers would be jealous. The story has inspired hordes of single Bangkok visitors to flock to CentralWorld's entrance with their own roses, hoping to replicate PunPun's success. Beyond shopping and dining, tourists are now adding a spiritual romantic quest to their Bangkok itinerary. PunPun invites her followers to share their own romantic aspirations and spread the word, wishing everyone to find their perfect match in 2026.

Teacher Beer and actress Kwan Usamanee Witthayanon held a joint press conference during a live shopping broadcast to address drama about an alleged six-month secret relationship after concerned viewers requested clarification. Teacher Beer stated: "People are saying we've been dating for six months, but we only met for the first time at C Sivatat's house during a live stream, and it hasn't even been six months. We didn't even get close or talk to each other, but someone spread rumors that we've been together for the past six months." Kwan jokingly responded: "We should just get a notebook and pen and write a movie script to turn this into a short film." Teacher Beer continued: "People don't even recognize me with my dark skin tone, and yesterday someone asked if it was true that we were dating based on the TikTok drama—it's not good news and made me uncomfortable, so I'm making this statement." When asked directly if they were dating, Teacher Beer clearly stated "No," to which Kwan joked "Does this mean I'm applying to date you?" Teacher Beer humorously replied that if they were together, he would "go crazy" given their conflicting personalities, while present during the broadcast, Tack Paranyoo commented that "my ears on this side are already damaged."

James Rueangsakdi opens up about his marriage and family struggles, sharing lessons from infertility and his wife's miscarriage. Few would expect that James and his wife carefully planned every detail of their family life before marriage, revealing intimate details on the show "MY DADDY James." He recounts their over-one-year struggle with infertility, with the most difficult moment being his wife's first miscarriage. He warns men that physical strength doesn't equate to easy conception, emphasizing the crucial philosophy of being a "truly present father"—valuing children's time above anything else. This principle became their relationship's foundation, helping the entire family grow together steadily.

Reflecting on their infertility struggles, James and his wife, like many couples, initially believed that as a strong athlete and an attractive woman, having children would be natural. However, after six months and then a year of trying naturally without success, they grew discouraged. When James married at 39 and his wife was in her early thirties, one year of trying proved unsuccessful. They didn't just fail to conceive; the emotional toll became overwhelming. His wife experienced deep feelings of worthlessness and despair, questioning why she couldn't be a mother while watching others her age succeed effortlessly. At that time, she wasn't yet "Khru Goy, Baby and Mom" with knowledge about infertility, so she blamed herself, withdrew, and spiraled into depression. There were nights so dark he remembers them vividly—when she didn't conceive and continued not to get pregnant, sometimes even delirious, questioning why this happened to her.

They eventually tried both natural methods and scientific approaches. Initially, they began with basic steps: consulting a doctor who advised tracking ovulation cycles, attempting natural conception, then progressing to IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), where doctors combine sperm and eggs through a simple procedure before inserting them into the woman's reproductive system. Despite trying this method, it didn't progress. The atmosphere in their marriage became increasingly dark and depressing. The worst moment came when Khru Goy had her first miscarriage. James remembers receiving her phone call as she sobbed uncontrollably. Scientifically, this was natural selection—nature eliminating imperfect embryos, completely normal. But lacking this knowledge, she blamed herself. After the miscarriage, James privately wondered if perhaps she was already fine, and maybe the problem lay with him. The marital atmosphere filled only with despair. As a man, he tried to comfort her, suggesting they could be happy with just the two of them. This became a turning point in their lives. Khru Goy rose from her despair, researching infertility, consulting doctors, attending seminars about fertility and reproductive systems, ultimately transforming her pain into knowledge and eventually becoming an educator herself.
