A Facebook page called "Lawyer Pattana: The Second Wife 2026" has shared a heartbreaking story of a woman from Prachuap Khiri Khan whose 23-year marriage collapsed when she discovered her husband had a deep relationship with a Buddhist monk at a prominent temple in Nakhon Ratchasima. Shocked by the revelation, she was further devastated when her husband proposed they accept a "three-person relationship." Unable to bear the pain, she packed her belongings and left home with only 6,000 baht to start anew, while receiving an outpouring of support on social media. Many online users have heavily criticized both the husband and the monk, calling their actions serious moral and monastic violations that constitute parajika—the highest offense in Buddhist monastic discipline. On May 4, 2025, reporters visited a temple in Nakhon Ratchasima to investigate, with one monk confirming he had only seen the monk in question in passing and had not encountered him recently. The Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Buddhist Office identified the monk as Phra Pornchai, approximately 30 years old, who was ordained at a temple in Phra Thong Kham district in 2024 and is currently affiliated with a temple in Decha Udom district, Ubon Ratchathani. He had previously studied Buddhist texts at a temple in Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima around July 2024 but was not formally affiliated there. The office stated it was unaware of his alleged personal conduct and would coordinate with Ubon Ratchathani's Buddhist office for further investigation. Bueng Phra Aram Luang Temple issued a statement clarifying that the monk in question was not part of their monastic community but merely a visiting student who left in October 2024. The temple emphasized that his actions are personal matters unrelated to the institution and called for public understanding while awaiting further investigation by relevant authorities. The case continues to draw public attention as society and Buddhist authorities monitor how they will respond to this incident that has shaken the faith of many Buddhists.

At 6:30 AM on May 4, 2026, Deputy Superintendent Thanawat Charoen-sook of Bang Phlei Police Station received a report of a van hitting pedestrians crossing the street in front of a factory on Theparak Road, kilometer 14, Moo 11, Bang Phlei Subdistrict, Bang Phlei District, Samut Prakan Province. He rushed to the scene with on-duty doctors from Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodindorn Hospital and the Thai Red Cross.

At the accident scene in the rightmost lane near the zebra crossing, officers found a white Toyota van with Bangkok license plates with front-end damage and a shattered windshield. The driver, identified as Mr. Parinnya (surname withheld), 38, was at the scene.

Nearby, authorities found a critically injured female victim, 19 years old, a Myanmar national, lying unconscious. Staff performed CPR but to no avail, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The second injured person was a 22-year-old Myanmar national with a fractured right leg. Both victims were factory employees crossing the zebra crossing to get to work at a factory on the opposite side of the road. First aid was administered and she was transported to Chularat Hospital 3.

When questioned, Mr. Parinnya stated he was driving in the rightmost lane when a black sedan came from the middle lane. When the victims crossed into the middle lane, the sedan swerved to the left lane. The victims, startled, stepped backward into the rightmost lane where his van was traveling. He stated he could not brake in time and struck them with force.

After examining the scene, Deputy Superintendent Thanawat transferred the deceased to the morgue at Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodindorn Hospital and brought the van driver in for questioning at Bang Phlei Police Station for legal proceedings.

In addition to her acting role as Mala in the Channel One 31 drama 'Sod Saai Mala,' accomplished actress Aerin Fatima has also released her voice for the song 'The More Love, The More Pain,' a drama theme that tells the story and reflects the emotions of the character Mala, conveying themes of trust becoming betrayal and love becoming heartache.

'The More Love, The More Pain' is a ballad pop composition featuring melancholic melodies over warm instrumentation, combined with Aerin's soulful vocals that demonstrate her deep understanding of the character and emotional delivery.

Produced by Four 25hours (Prateep Sirisaranant), with music by the group and lyrics by Achia Dulypaiboon, Aerin Fatima shared her thoughts on the project: 'This was an extremely challenging task. When singing, I had to set aside my own personality entirely and fully embody the character of Mala, conveying all the emotions—love, sorrow, and anger—that develop throughout the story. Filming the music video was particularly difficult. Every note required me to tap into something deep within myself. I learned a lot from this process and gave it everything I had. I hope this becomes an encouragement to everyone. Please come listen to the song.'

The official music video for 'The More Love, The More Pain OST. Sod Saai Mala' by Aerin Fatima is available on YouTube under One Music, with audio available on all major streaming platforms.

Highso Art, former boyfriend of Grace Chaleeta, has officially introduced his new girlfriend Ay Thanyawan with a sweet caption brushing off drama: "As long as we're happy every day, that's enough." He appears unfazed by all the attention after facing intense scrutiny over his relationship drama, but the situation has now become clear.

His new girlfriend is none other than Ay Thanyawan Tephhasdin Na Ayutthaya, a high society woman who was previously linked to being a third party and became the subject of online criticism.

Highso Art chose his birthday as the significant moment to publicly announce his relationship, posting a sweet caption that reads "My everyday—as long as we're happy." This debut appears to be a formal confirmation of their relationship status, following his resolution with his ex-girlfriend Grace Chaleeta.

A tragic accident unfolded when a tour bus ran a red light and smashed into a motorcycle at high speed. The motorcycle rider was ejected into the air, striking the bus windshield before landing on the road. The motorcycle was dragged beneath the vehicle, leaving both vehicles severely damaged.

On May 4, 2569, Deputy Inspector Puriphattana Suksawasdi of Ranong City Police Station revealed that at 20:25 on May 3, they received a report of a passenger bus colliding with a motorcycle at Ranong Garden intersection on Phetchkasem Road, Bang Rim subdistrict, Muang district, Ranong province. Officers from Highway Police, Tourist Police, rescue units, Ranong Hospital, and the hospital's forensic doctor rushed to the scene.

The victim, 49-year-old Virappong (surname withheld by request), was found dead on the roadway, approximately 50 meters from the impact point. The bus involved was a VIP 24-seat air-conditioned coach on the Bangkok-Phang Nga route, registered in Bangkok. The vehicle's front showed collision damage with a cracked windshield, and a severely damaged red Honda Scoopy motorcycle, registered in Ranong, was found lodged beneath it.

Dashcam footage from a witness vehicle stopped at the red light revealed the moment of impact. As several vehicles waited at the traffic signal, the tour bus approached at high speed, attempting to accelerate through the yellow light before it turned red but failed to make it in time. Meanwhile, the motorcycle was the second in its lane waiting at the red light. When the light turned green, the rider proceeded forward, unaware of the bus running the red light from the perpendicular direction.

The violent collision sent Virappong's body flying into the bus's windshield, which stood over 2 meters high, before he fell to the pavement approximately 25 meters from the point of impact. The motorcycle was dragged beneath the bus for about 50 meters.

Initially, responders did not know the victim's identity, so they used a phone found at the scene to contact his relatives and identify him.

When questioned, the bus driver claimed he attempted to accelerate through the yellow light before it turned red because the heavy vehicle could not stop suddenly.

The tour bus was traveling from Khok Kloy district, Phang Nga province to Mo Chit in Bangkok with a full passenger load, though no passengers were injured. The transport company arranged a backup bus from Phang Nga to continue the journey, which is expected to arrive approximately 3 hours late.

The primary driver, Thaworn (surname withheld by request), is in police custody for questioning. He has been preliminarily charged with "careless driving resulting in another person's death." The victim's relatives have requested additional alcohol and drug testing be conducted on the driver.

Initial autopsy results suggest the cause of death was a fractured cervical spine from the violent impact. The forensic doctor at Ranong Hospital has sent the body for autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
