Young Wannamai Excited About First Acting Role with Full Support from Brothers Living Together Like Old Times

Wannamai Chattaborirak makes her acting debut in "Crash Course in Romance" with full support from her three older brothers, who coach her performances and frequently visit the set.

9 May Khaosod

Young actress Wannamai Chattaborirak from the Chattaborirak household has recently made her full acting debut in the series "Crash Course in Romance." She admits to feeling both excited and delighted because she's been away from film sets since childhood, but has received complete support from all three of her older brothers, especially Pattarapon "Boy" who coached her performances closely. She also opened up about a heartwarming moment when she broke open her savings to buy a birthday cake for her brother Pattarapon, and revealed dating news about her brother Thana and Thananthorn.

When asked about her excitement seeing her work aired for the first time, Wannamai said: "I'm really excited because I haven't filmed or worked on productions for a long time since I was little. But coming back to do this felt comforting because I had friends my age around me, so we could chat and play together."

Regarding the challenges of this series, she explained: "This role wasn't too challenging for me because it felt very much like myself. I felt like this character was exactly who I am."

"So your character is cheerful and bright?" "Yes, exactly. Being bright and cheerful, it matched well."

About her brothers' support, Wannamai shared: "My brothers supported me fully and helped me throughout. Like during auditions, Brother Boy came to coach me."

When asked about her technique for memorizing lines, she said: "I memorize it as a story. If someone says something to me like this, I think about how I should respond using my own words."

Regarding her brothers' individual roles in supporting her acting career, she detailed: "Starting with Brother Boy, he watches the overall picture, monitors my mood and emotions during scenes, and helps with lines. Brother Thana and Pattarapon are similar, but they may not tutor me as much as Brother Boy does. Instead, they focus on visiting the set frequently."

When asked who visits the set most often, she replied: "Probably Brother Thana because Brother Boy and Pattarapon are busy with work. But sometimes if we're filming early in the morning, Pattarapon stops by before going to his restaurant."

On whether she felt pressured having all three brothers as actors, she said: "No pressure because I already liked this path anyway."

When asked if she's satisfied with her own performance after watching it, Wannamai responded: "Yes, I'm satisfied and I like it. It felt fun getting to be myself and express that."

If offered a role opposite to her character—someone not cheerful and serious—she said she could handle it: "Yes, I think that would be a good challenge. I like roles that aren't myself because it feels like I'm experiencing other characters."

Regarding her dream roles, she expressed: "If I could choose, I'd like cheerful roles or comedic ones. But I also like dramatic roles too."

Her friends haven't been teasing her about being a celebrity: "Not really, my friends are used to seeing this by now."

On balancing school and work as the school term approaches, she explained: "I'm in an international school and the semester hasn't closed yet. Sometimes I have to miss classes, but I keep up with assignments from my friends."

Asked if she gets tired juggling studies and work, she said: "No, it's actually fun doing both at the same time."

Regarding payment and contracts, she admitted: "I don't really know much about that. My brothers handle and keep the money for me first." When asked which brother acts as her personal manager handling finances, her response was cut off.

Hana Pleads to Stop Cyberbullying Moo Pimpasupa and Nai Napat After 4 Years of No Contact; Reveals Depression and Panic Disorder from Hospitalization Multiple Times

Close friend Hana Tasnavalee has posted on Instagram defending Moo Pimpasupa after nearly four years of estrangement from her son Nai Napat, revealing that Moo has suffered severe depression and panic disorder from relentless social media attacks. Hana pleads with the public to stop cyberbullying both mother and son, emphasizing that each party is experiencing significant pain and hoping for eventual family reconciliation. The post addresses widespread criticism and calls for empathy and cessation of one-sided judgment on social media.

9 May Khaosod

Following Nai Napat's recent disclosure that he and his mother Moo Pimpasupa have not been in contact for nearly four years since a previous major announcement—essentially cutting off communication—and his request to move forward with his own life amid widespread criticism, Hana Tasnavalee, a close friend of Moo's, has posted on Instagram to share another perspective on Moo that many people are unaware of.

According to Hana's post, over the past nearly four years, Moo has faced severe hardship—not just two years as reported—enduring intense social pressure and an overwhelming barrage of comments that have caused her to develop depression and panic disorder. She has been taking medication continuously and has been hospitalized multiple times. Hana pleads with social media users to stop judging and attacking, emphasizing that both parties are suffering equally. She hopes that someday mother and child can rebuild their understanding and be reunited as a happy family.

In her lengthy Instagram message, Hana wrote: "Before inviting Moo on a trip abroad, it took nearly six years of effort, and then came shocking news. As a mother, her heart nearly broke. As Moo's friend who has known her since [early years], Moo has done her best role as a 'mother' to the best of her ability.

This suffering has lasted nearly four years now, not just two as reported. Moo decided to buy a new house in Khao Yai for a new, solitary life to give space for her child to grow. Every time there's news about her child, Moo becomes entangled in it, severely damaging her mental state. She became isolated from outside contact.

She developed 'depression' and 'panic disorder' and has been taking medication for two years now. The impact of various comments on social media where people cursed her as a mother, understanding only one side of the story, became unbearable. She couldn't breathe, to the point of being hospitalized multiple times.

I'm not asking you to understand or love Moo, but... if you love Nai Napat, surely he wouldn't be happy knowing someone is cursing his mother with such glee. You're just enjoying writing cruel comments for satisfaction. After you finish cursing, you sleep peacefully, but the person being attacked, being ganged up on—how much pain must they endure? No one is ever without fault in life, so please stop attacking them anymore. He's hurting, but his mother is hurting even more. Let them live the lives they want to live.

It's been nearly four years since mother and child have truly spoken to each other. There are many hidden things that no one knows about. And Moo, as a mother, has never spoken out about any of it. Yet society has already judged her. Please stop speculating. Please stop judging one-sidedly. Give each person the space to live the life they want. From someone who is a friend and an older sister, giving encouragement to both, and hoping that they can rebuild their understanding and become a happy family again."

Intellectual Property Department Registers GI for 'Ban Wang Som Sa Phitsanulok' to Elevate High-Value Agriculture

Thailand's Intellectual Property Department has registered a Geographical Indication for 'Ban Wang Som Sa Phitsanulok,' a distinctive citrus fruit from Phitsanulok Province valued for its unique tangy-sweet flavor and use in traditional dis

9 May Khaosod

The Intellectual Property Department has registered a Geographical Indication (GI) for 'Ban Wang Som Sa Phitsanulok,' a renowned local citrus fruit grown in Muang District, Phitsanulok Province. According to Department Director Oramon Saptaweedharm, this distinctive fruit features a round, firm shape with thick dark-green bumpy skin resembling pomelos, aromatic fragrance, and a unique tangy-sweet taste with a lingering citrus note on the tongue. Its distinctive flavor sets it apart from other citrus varieties, making it popular in traditional Thai dishes like mah hor (a savory rice cracker appetizer), as well as in desserts, beverages, and numerous health and beauty products including soaps, face creams, lip gloss, shampoos, herbal inhalants, and air fresheners.

Currently, Ban Wang Som Sa Phitsanulok produces approximately 120,000 kilograms annually, generating over 3.6 million baht in economic value for the community. The fruit's history traces back over a century when Hainanese Chinese migrants planted som sa along the Nan River, eventually establishing the community known as Ban Wang Som Sa. Residents continue to preserve their heritage through the Mae Tab Thim shrine and the annual Loy Krathong festival in May, using som sa fruit as ritual offerings to the sea goddess.

Director Oramon stated that the GI registration will differentiate Thai produce, establish production standards, prevent counterfeit products, and build consumer trust while supporting the community's reputation. Following registration, the department will assist the community through quality control systems, packaging development, marketing education, market channel expansion both online and offline, and agritourism development. These initiatives aim to help producers create added value, attract tourists to experience the authentic community and production processes, and support continuous economic growth. Interested buyers can purchase Ban Wang Som Sa Phitsanulok GI products through the Facebook page 'Ban Wang Som Sa' and TikTok account 'Wang Som Sa.'

Democrats in Uproar! Party Spokesman Challenges Paradorn Over Memory Loss, Questions 400 Billion Baht Loan and Demands GDP Growth Like Abhisit Era

The Democrat Party's deputy spokesperson has sharply criticized the government's 400 billion baht loan decree, accusing Deputy PM Paradorn of memory loss over broken campaign promises to fund relief programs through the budget without borrowing. She challenged the government to deliver GDP growth comparable to the Abhisit administration and warned that unclear loan usage could trap Thailand in long-term debt with public debt approaching 70% of GDP.

9 May Khaosod

Democrat Party Deputy Spokesperson Siripha Intravisetchai posted a scathing response on May 9, 2025, to Deputy Prime Minister Paradorn Pattanathabouth's criticism of Democrat Vice Leader Korn Chatikavanij, who had questioned the government's 400 billion baht borrowing. Paradorn had claimed he couldn't have foreseen the need for loans, comparing himself to someone without supernatural powers. Siripha sarcastically suggested Paradorn undergo a memory assessment, reminding him that during the campaign, Bhumjaithai and their coalition partners promised to fund the Half-Price Plus and Thai Help Thai Plus programs with 440 billion baht from the budget without loans. Democrats supported helping citizens but remain concerned about the lack of transparency regarding loan usage and its potential for misappropriation, warning it could trap Thailand in long-term debt.

Siripha noted that during former PM Abhisit Vejjajiva's administration, when Korn served as Finance Minister, the government effectively used borrowed funds during the economic crisis, achieving over 7.5% GDP growth within 18 months. She challenged Paradorn to demonstrate similar efficiency. While acknowledging that the current debt-to-GDP ratio appears lower, she warned that Thailand's public debt ceiling is approaching 70%, which could lead to economic crisis and even bankruptcy if borrowed funds don't generate economic value.

Siripha concluded that as a Thai citizen and taxpayer, she has the right to question the necessity of the borrowing decree to ensure every baht of public funds is used with maximum efficiency, unless the government is an authoritarian regime unwilling to listen to dissenting voices.

44-Year-Old Man Arrested for Brutally Attacking Fellow Inmate in Pathum Thani Detention Facility

A 44-year-old drug offender with an extensive criminal record was arrested for brutally assaulting a fellow inmate at Pathum Thani Detention Facility, seriously injuring him while in a drug-induced state.

9 May Khaosod

A 44-year-old man with a troubled history of drug addiction violently assaulted a fellow inmate in a detention cell, critically injuring him. Officers Pol. Maj. Winyoo Chaemsai and Pol. Capt. Ratchin Charoenram arrested the suspect, known as Arak (surname withheld), based on a warrant from Bangkok South Criminal Court for assault causing serious bodily harm. The arrest took place outside the Central Pathum Thani Detention Facility in Thanyaburi district.

The incident traces back to mid-2024, when Wat Phraya Kai police station received a report of a heavily intoxicated Thai man causing a disturbance in the Soi Charoen Krung 78 area. Upon investigation, officers found Arak in an incoherent state due to drug use, discovered narcotics on his person, and took him into custody. While detained, Arak became violently deranged from drug effects and brutally attacked fellow inmates in the same cell, severely injuring one who required hospital treatment.

Background checks revealed that Arak has a 15-case criminal record dating back to age 19 in 2001, primarily involving methamphetamine and ice drug possession and distribution in Bangkok and surrounding areas, including cases handled by Wat Phraya Kai, Yannawa, and Lam Luak police stations. He has been sent to rehabilitation facilities multiple times and has a history of using violence, including an assault case in 2007. Arak recently completed a approximately two-year drug sentence from Thanyaburi Prison. He confessed to all charges and was handed over to Wat Phraya Kai police station for legal proceedings.

Morning Stiffness: A Health Warning Sign Doctors Say You Shouldn't Ignore

Medical experts explain that morning stiffness, or Nocturnal Penile Tumescence (NPT), is a natural physiological response involving the nervous system, blood vessels, and male hormones during sleep. While occasional absence of this symptom is normal, a continuous and noticeable decline over several months may indicate underlying health issues such as cardiovascular or hormonal problems. Sleep quality, stress, lifestyle factors, and chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure can all affect this natural phenomenon, which doctors liken to a man's personal health indicator.

9 May Khaosod

Many men have wondered: "Why do I experience morning stiffness some days but not others?" Dr. Mong-Ern, president of Taiwan's Incontinence Prevention Association and director of the National Defense Medical Center's Institute of Preventive Medicine, explains that this phenomenon is actually "Nocturnal Penile Tumescence (NPT)," a natural physiological mechanism during sleep involving three key factors: the nervous system, blood vessel system, and male hormones.

Doctors note that occasionally not experiencing morning stiffness isn't cause for concern, but if the symptom clearly and continuously declines over several months, it may be a health warning sign worth investigating. These erections can occur multiple times during the night; not feeling them doesn't mean they're not happening.

Dr. Mong-Ern explains that morning stiffness typically occurs during "REM sleep" (Rapid Eye Movement), when the brain reduces sympathetic nervous system activity and increases parasympathetic nervous system activity. This causes nerve endings to release nitric oxide (NO), which relaxes blood vessels in the genital area and allows blood to flow in, creating the erection.

Actually, these nocturnal erections may happen several times in one night, but they're most noticeable near waking, which is why the phenomenon is called "morning stiffness." Generally, this is considered a sign that male hormone levels, blood vessel function, and nervous system are all working normally.

Sleep quality is an important factor affecting nocturnal erections. Sleep deprivation, insufficient sleep, accumulated stress, or sleep apnea can all impact REM mechanisms. One example is a male patient over 40 working in engineering with high stress and sleep apnea whose sexual function declined despite normal hormone levels. After treatment for sleep issues and lifestyle changes, his condition gradually improved.

Other risk behaviors also matter: smoking damages blood vessel walls, excessive alcohol suppresses nervous system function, while diabetes and high blood pressure affect both the nervous and vascular systems, potentially reducing morning stiffness or causing erectile dysfunction.

Dr. Mong-Ern compares morning stiffness to "a man's health alarm clock." If it was previously normal but has declined or disappeared, it may reflect abnormalities in blood vessels, nervous system, or hormones.

For younger men experiencing a decline, they should review stress levels and lifestyle habits. Middle-aged men should watch for the "three highs": high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, as well as declining male hormone levels. Men over 50 often experience symptoms resembling andropause, such as decreased sexual desire and reduced responsiveness to stimuli, making morning stiffness less pronounced or absent.

Regarding cold weather: Temperature does affect blood vessel constriction and dilation, but other factors also play roles, such as room temperature, air conditioning or heater use, blanket thickness, and sleep quality.

Going Viral! Bride and Groom Set Up Wrestling Ring at Wedding, Loser Does Housework

A Chinese couple replaced their traditional wedding reception with a wrestling ring, staging matches where the losing team must handle household chores—with the bride ultimately defeating the groom in a dramatic finale.

9 May Khaosod

A bride and groom in Quanzhou, Guangdong Province, China created an unforgettable wedding by setting up a wrestling ring in the middle of their reception and staging an intense match with the rule that the losing team must handle household chores in the future.

Videos from inside the event showed wrestlers competing fiercely with throws, locks, and intense grappling that captivated guests throughout the performance. Many watched intently without blinking, and even children stood holding rice bowls while eating, drawn in by the electric atmosphere.

Groom He explained that the wedding took place on May 5th. During planning, he discovered wedding costs significantly exceeded their budget. As a professional wrestler wanting to promote wrestling, which is still viewed as a niche entertainment, he consulted his bride and received her full support.

"Our expenses far exceeded expectations," he said. "Since I already work in entertainment—wrestling—I thought with this amount of money I could organize multiple wrestling shows instead. It made more sense to create something original with a wrestling performance at our wedding rather than spend unnecessarily on traditional arrangements. My wife fully supported the idea."

He brought the wrestling ring used for touring performances to replace the traditional wedding stage. All wedding activities, including welcomes and guest entertainment, took place on the wrestling ring, while certain ceremonies like vows, toasts, and ring exchanges were shortened to make room for the wrestling show.

The highlight came after the opening ceremony when the couple posed the question: "After marriage, who will do the housework?" before dividing guests into teams for best-of-three wrestling matches, with the losing team assigned future household duties.

Toward the end of the competition, the bride performed a spectacular shoulder throw, slamming the groom to the ground amid cheers from all the guests. The groom joked afterward: "In the end, I lost anyway. How could I make her do the housework?"

After the video went viral, countless netizens commented that it was a strange, fun, and memorable wedding. The groom expressed joy that beyond making guests happy, he also helped people understand and appreciate wrestling more.

Chinese organized crime figure Chen Tao arrested in Bangkok condo for laundering money through shell companies in a 1.6 billion baht fraud scheme targeting a Chinese bank.

9 May Khaosod

On May 9, 2569, Pol. Lt. Gen. Songpruet Sirisucha, Commander of the Immigration Bureau Region 3, along with Deputy Commander Pol. Col. Chinwut Tangwonglert and Inspector Pol. Col. Suriya Puangsambat led an investigation team to arrest Mr. Chen Tao, 57, a key suspect wanted most urgently by the People's Republic of China.

Following a request from Beijing, Thai authorities targeted Mr. Chen Tao for concealing and hiding assets obtained through criminal activity. An arrest warrant was issued by the Lanzhou Public Security Bureau with damages valued at approximately 3,222 million yuan (1.6 billion baht).

Pol. Lt. Gen. Songpruet stated that the suspect was involved in defrauding a bank and laundering money through shell companies. Investigators discovered the suspect entered Thailand on November 11, 2568, on a PE visa. He had provided multiple false addresses to conceal his actual residence. Officers arrested him at a condominium in the Ramkhamhaeng area and revoked his visa as a foreigner with a criminal record deemed a threat to society.

The suspect had hired someone else to rent the room under their name as a cover. During arrest, officers discovered a second passport—a Vanuatu passport—believed to be used for identity concealment, as China had already revoked his Chinese passport. The suspect is a core leader who directly commands operations both domestically and internationally.

The Immigration Bureau confirmed its continued commitment to combating transnational organized crime and will not allow Thailand to serve as a haven for criminals, ensuring public safety and protection of property.

Shocking Revelation: 'Tray Scott' Breaks Down, Discloses Sexual Abuse by Own Older Brother, Mother Sues Over Inheritance

A man identified as 'Tray Scott' publicly disclosed decades of sexual abuse by his older brother in an emotional video, revealing his family knew but offered no support; his mother has since sued him over inherited assets and branded him un

9 May Khaosod

The revelation by 'Tray Sirinath Scott' has shocked many after he released an emotional video confession, disclosing long-suppressed trauma and announcing he no longer wants to be known as the 'Lion Heir' due to the pain he has endured from family members and his solitary struggle for justice over many years. He admitted to being repeatedly sexually abused by his older brother during his teenage years, and revealed that all family members knew about it after hearing a recorded confession. Most recently, his mother has sued him over inherited assets and branded him an 'ungrateful child' for speaking out about what his older brother did, causing him to break down emotionally in the video. Through his Facebook account 'Tray - Merman Ψ,' he stated: 'I don't want anyone calling me the Lion Heir anymore because people don't know that... (cries) my older brother sexually abused me. He didn't do it just once, but many times when I was a teenager, and everyone in my family knows because they heard the tape with his confession. No adult in my life helped me. I had to do everything myself because I had no choice. I'm turning 30 this year and I've never received justice in this matter, no matter who in my family or relatives I asked for help. This year my mother sued me to take away the assets my grandfather left me. She calls me ungrateful for telling everyone what my older brother did. When I sought help from family elders, they told me to apologize to my mother. I don't know what to do anymore. I know I can't live this way. I cannot stay with people in my family or clan who don't see my worth as a human being or show me any compassion. I'm sorry for causing everyone stress, but I cannot live with these people or this kind of life (cries heavily).'

Former Spokesperson Confident Thaksin Will Use Sentence Remission for Family Time, Not Revenge

Former Thai for Thais Party spokesperson Prompong Nopradit expressed confidence that 76-year-old former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will use his May 11 sentence remission to spend time with family rather than seek revenge, despite ongoing opposition from some activists. Nopradit criticized those blocking reconciliation and urged Thai society to forgive and move forward after two decades of conflict, noting Thaksin's past experience managing the country and helping ordinary citizens could still benefit Thailand.

9 May Khaosod

On May 9, 2025, former Thai for Thais Party spokesperson Prompong Nopradit stated that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is set to receive a sentence remission on May 11, but some activists and groups continue to oppose it.

Nopradit noted that these same groups previously urged Thaksin to return to Thailand and face the justice system. After Thaksin complied, proceeded through all legal channels, and served two prison terms, they remain unsatisfied. The Justice Minister has clarified that the remission process follows proper procedures and does not violate political speech restrictions.

He argued that Thai society has been trapped in conflict for over 20 years because some people harbor grudges and refuse forgiveness. At 76 years old, Thaksin has followed all regulations without resistance, even accepting an electronic monitoring bracelet. Nopradit questioned what activists expect and urged society to forgive, move forward, and let go of past grievances.

Nopradit emphasized that during Thaksin's time abroad, business leaders and politicians frequently consulted with him, reflecting his continued influence. He noted that Thaksin's experience managing large international corporations and relationships with global leaders could benefit Thailand's future direction.

He expressed confidence that a 76-year-old man with seven grandchildren would prefer spending time with family rather than plotting revenge. He stated that Thaksin, who has forgiven those who threatened his life, would not seek vengeance. Nopradit called on those spreading doubts to stop and urged Thai society, as a forgiving society, to let go of what can be released.

Nopradit announced he would join red-shirt supporters in welcoming Thaksin's return on May 11, while emphasizing that only Thaksin or his family could clarify his future role. However, he noted that many people still remember Thaksin's policies—such as the 30-baht healthcare program, village funds, drug suppression, and systematic solutions to poverty—that directly benefited ordinary citizens and represented practical democracy.
