The victim suffered shotgun wounds to the face and chest, along with a deep head injury. A sickle, machete, and spent cartridge were found nearby.

A tragic accident in Samut Prakan claimed the life of a tree-trimming worker in his 30s after he was bitten by ants while working near power lines in Bang Bo district. Witnesses said he cried out in pain before collapsing and losing consciousness. Despite coworkers’ efforts to give first aid, he died before reaching the hospital.

The city outranked Melbourne, Cape Town, and New York, with young residents praising its street food, nightlife, café culture, art spaces, and affordable transport. About 84% of respondents said they were happy living in Bangkok.

A 28-year-old man in Buriram shocked locals after locking his penis with two rings—one metal and one plastic—out of fear someone might “steal” it. Medical staff safely removed the rings without injury, but authorities are now evaluating his mental health for possible anxiety or delusional disorders. The bizarre case has sparked public discussion about mental health awareness in rural Thailand, where psychiatric support remains limited and stigma often prevents people from seeking help. Experts stress the need for early intervention and better access to mental health care.
Malaysia FA Sanctioned by FIFA Over Forged Documents
FIFA has sanctioned the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) after uncovering the use of forged identity documents to field ineligible players. Seven naturalized players received 12-month bans, and FAM faces hefty fines and reputational fallout. Investigators found falsified birthdates and citizenship papers that violated FIFA’s eligibility rules. While Malaysian officials plan to appeal, the scandal has sparked debate over integrity and governance in Southeast Asian football. FAM is now under pressure to tighten oversight, rebuild trust, and ensure stricter compliance in future player registrations.
