BANGKOK — 14 May 2026, Thai herbal inhaler brand Hanuman said it had gained growing attention in China after Chinese actress Zhao Lusi featured the product in a social media video following her recent visit to Thailand.

Samunprai Hanuman Co., Ltd., producer of the Hanuman herbal inhaler, said the appearance of the product in a video posted by Zhao on Douyin, China's version of TikTok, had helped boost interest in Thai products among Chinese consumers.

The actress recently travelled to Thailand for a concert performance and later shared a casual video after returning to China showing herself eating Thai seaweed snacks. Fans quickly noticed a Hanuman herbal inhaler placed prominently on a table in the clip.

The video drew widespread attention from fans in both Thailand and China, with many social media users commenting on the actress's use of Thai products and describing the inhaler as part of Thailand's growing "soft power" appeal across Asia.

The company said the exposure had strengthened the Hanuman brand's popularity in both the Thai and Chinese markets.

Hanuman herbal inhalers are marketed as helping relieve dizziness, nasal congestion and fatigue through the use of traditional Thai herbal ingredients. The products are widely sold at convenience stores, including 7-Eleven Thailand, and pharmacies nationwide.

The Economist Party is making clearer moves to field a candidate for Bangkok Governor, with political circles buzzing about the party's plan to launch a prominent police figure into the capital's election race. Previously, attention focused heavily on Big J., a retired senior police officer considered a potential key player in the Bangkok gubernatorial contest. However, recent high-level party sources reveal a strategic shift, with Big Ch., a former Police Chief who has prior political experience and strong ties within senior police networks, emerging as the likely candidate instead. Sources indicate Big Ch.'s appearance is no coincidence but the result of internal discussions, with backing from Big J., his peer and classmate, remaining in play despite Big J. not running himself. "Initially, outsiders focused on Big J., but the party's actual trump card may be different," sources said. "Big Ch. has civil service experience, political background, and an extraordinary network. Support from classmate Big J. hasn't disappeared." Big Ch. is a well-known retired senior police officer who held important positions in Bangkok before transitioning into politics after retirement, making him seen as having administrative credentials, security expertise, and political acumen combined. Big J., initially mentioned, is Big Ch.'s classmate and continues to be watched as potentially playing an indirect supporting role in the Economist Party's Bangkok strategy this time. Political observers have noted that the Economist Party may be employing a misdirection tactic, allowing speculation to flow toward one name before revealing its true candidate at the opportune moment for maximum political impact. To date, the Economist Party has made no official announcement of its Bangkok Governor candidate, though party sources confirm discussions are near finalization. If nothing changes, Big Ch.'s name could become major political news for the capital in the coming period. Big Ch. is believed to be Pol. Lt. Gen. Chaiyathep Saesaewetch, former National Police Commissioner and former Thai Loyalty Party secretary.

Maximum cargo space reaches 1,892 liters with the second and third rows folded, accommodating luggage, travel gear, and large items with storage compartments and cup holders throughout the cabin.

Hyundai SmartSense safety system features 13 safety technologies, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning (FCA-JT) that warns and automatically brakes when turning at intersections, along with Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance, and Leading Vehicle Depart Alert.

Police and firefighters in Maryland, USA, responded to rescue a dog found stranded on the roof of a two-story townhouse, alarming nearby residents. The incident occurred on Tuesday, with the Baltimore County Police Department reporting via social media (@baltcopolice) that officers from District 12 station in Dundalk received a call after someone spotted the dog on a residential rooftop.

Upon arrival, officers coordinated with a nearby neighbor who allowed police to enter the home to plan their approach. Officer A. Flores accessed the second-floor back window as an entry point and carefully climbed onto the sloped roof to help the stranded dog. Using reassuring words and encouragement, Officer Flores convinced the dog to approach him, safely resolving the immediate danger.

Firefighters then arrived to assist and used their ladder truck to safely lower both the officer and the dog from the roof. Police initially suspect the dog accidentally escaped through an open second-floor window before becoming trapped on the steeply sloped roof, unable to climb back down on its own.

After the successful rescue, the dog was transferred to local animal services for temporary care until its owner could be contacted and reunited with their pet.
