A 35-year-old Buriram City Council member named Phasuphong Sawatdiput, son of a former mayor of Isaan Municipality, filed a complaint on May 13, 2025, claiming he was treated unfairly by a well-known bar owner. Phasuphong recounted that on the evening of May 12 around 8 p.m., he was enjoying drinks alone at the bar while a live band performed. He requested a song through a server and tipped 100 baht for the musician. During the first break, the musician played his request, but during the second break, when he made another request and tipped another 100 baht, the musician refused. When Phasuphong asked the server to inquire why, the singer responded mockingly through the microphone: "This customer is strange, if we can't play the song, he just keeps asking." Angered by the public criticism, Phasuphong confronted the singer, demanding his tip back. A man identified as Mek (pseudonym), the bar owner, then emerged and choked Phasuphong by the neck, pushing him against a wall. After struggling free, Phasuphong ran outside. Police soon arrived at the scene and escorted him away. He has since filed a report at the local police station.

Mek, the bar owner, declined to comment directly but posted a statement on the bar's Facebook page apologizing to all customers for the disturbance caused by "one individual" on May 12. The post claimed the person created chaos and disrupted other customers' dining experience. The bar owner alleged that the individual continued posting damaging messages on social media and stated the bar had contacted his family to resolve the matter. The post concluded with a warning that if the harassment continued, the bar would pursue legal action to protect its reputation and rights.

A 30-year-old rubber tapper died from an electrical short circuit after falling asleep while charging his phone using a direct power connection. Around 10:00 a.m. on May 13, 2025, police received a report from a village elder in Rayong's Kaeng district about a rubber worker who had been electrocuted in a rubber plantation worker's quarters. Officers found the body of Wanchai, age 30, lying dead with severe burn marks on the left side of his neck and upper chest. A cracked mobile phone with the charging cable still inserted was found on his chest. Investigators discovered a modified adapter connected directly to 220-volt power at the outlet. He was estimated to have been dead for at least 6-8 hours.

When questioned, Wanchai's younger brother Banchaa explained that his brother regularly drank alcohol and frequently chatted on Line before bed. He habitually charged his phone using the direct method without a standard adapter, despite repeated warnings. Before the incident, Wanchai had messaged his brother about the charger short-circuiting, but the conversation was cut short due to a malfunctioning device. When Banchaa couldn't reach him the next morning and visited the quarters, he discovered his brother had died from the electrical short.

Police officers and investigators collected 3,000 baht from personal funds to assist Banchaa with initial funeral expenses. Relatives have invited monks from Khao Samrong Temple to conduct religious merit-making rituals, with chanting scheduled for one night and the funeral ceremony planned for the following day.

A young man was heartbroken when his pet carp, which he had raised for years, died suddenly. Unable to let go emotionally, his friend suggested cooking it instead. On May 8, Chinese social media erupted over an incident from Dengzhou, Shandong Province, after a man cooked his friend's recently deceased pet carp, which went viral and sparked widespread discussion.

Reports indicate the carp had been raised for over 2-3 years before dying from oxygen deprivation, weighing more than 20 kilograms. The owner was deeply grieved and regretful. He had originally intended to dispose of the fish, but his friend suggested: "Why throw it away? What a waste. Let's make soup instead."

After that, the friend prepared the carp by making fish soup from the meat and thoroughly stir-frying the roe. Meanwhile, the actual owner couldn't bring himself to eat a single bite—he just stood watching his friends and sadly said, "I've raised it this long. I just can't bring myself to eat it myself."

The friend who cooked the carp revealed that the taste was "delicious and very rich," with firm meat and plenty of fat. The roe yielded an entire wok when stir-fried. Those who ate it said the taste was much better than expected.

Once the story spread online, netizens flooded social media with comments. Many argued this couldn't be done because carp are emotional pets with psychological bonds to their owners. Others countered that since the fish had died, it should be used to full value rather than wasted.

However, after the incident gained widespread attention, experts and many netizens warned about food safety. Since ornamental carp are not bred for consumption but for display, medications, special feeds, or chemicals may have been used during their care and could remain in the fish, making them potentially unsafe to eat.

Many also pointed out that the real issue wasn't whether it was edible, but the pet owner's feelings. For some people, pets are like family members, and losing one is emotionally devastating and deserves understanding and respect.

On May 13, 2025, Col. Sirichai Srichaipanya, commander of Muang Nakhon Ratchasima Police Station, ordered traffic police to conduct a crackdown on street racing and related traffic violations in the Korat city area. Meanwhile, Sgt. Maj. Viccha Thaenprayut and his team set up a traffic enforcement checkpoint near Phra Hua Talay Market on Highway 224 (Nakhon Ratchasima-Chok Chai Road), an exit route from the city center. They spotted 41-year-old Sakrin riding a blue and black Honda Wave motorcycle with his 24-year-old girlfriend Suthida sitting behind him. Both appeared suspicious, so officers signaled them to stop for inspection. Police discovered 119 methamphetamine pills hidden in a shoulder bag. When questioned, both suspects confessed to using crystal meth until they felt extremely wired and unable to sleep, which is why they decided to go for a ride. Both tested positive for amphetamines in urine samples. Authorities charged them with illegal possession of Category 1 drugs (methamphetamine) and illegal use of Category 1 controlled substances. They were taken into custody for further investigation and prosecution.

At 1:50 p.m. on May 13, 2569 (2026), the Lamphun Radio Center 191 received a report from highway police about a man shot in the leg at Soi 9, Ban Mon Hin Kaew, Moo 4, Wang Prao Subdistrict, Koh Ka District, Lamphun Province. Emergency responders, including investigators from Koh Ka Police Station and rescue teams, were dispatched to the scene.

At the location, a 45-year-old named Anuwat from Saromserm District, Lamphun, was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his right leg. Police placed him in handcuffs while rescue personnel provided first aid before transporting him to Koh Ka Hospital.

Initial investigation revealed that highway police had set up a checkpoint on Phaholyothin Road entering Lamphun when they spotted a white Toyota Altis with Bangkok license plates. When officers signaled the vehicle to stop for inspection, they found Anuwat was the driver with a 20-year-old male and 18-year-old female passenger.

During questioning, Anuwat became agitated and suddenly bolted into Soi 9, attempting to hide inside a nearby resident's home. Police pursued him, and during the ensuing struggle, Anuwat attempted to wrestle the officer's gun away. The weapon discharged, striking Anuwat's own leg.

The male and female passengers claimed to be distant relatives of Anuwat and were heading to retrieve a vehicle in Baan Euam Subdistrict, Mueang Lamphun District. Anuwat had volunteered to drive them in his sister's car after they had consumed some alcohol. A thorough search of the vehicle yielded no illegal items. However, background checks showed Anuwat had multiple outstanding arrest warrants, which likely motivated his attempt to flee the checkpoint. Authorities plan to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all involved parties and pursue appropriate legal action.
