First up, we've got a chilling story about a suspected crime in Shanur Reservoir. Police found a body encased in concrete inside a barrel at the bottom of the reservoir. It's believed to be Ru Jong, a 34-year-old Korean man missing since May 3rd. The case took a sinister turn with a ransom demand of 3 million baht. Thankfully, collaborative efforts led to identifying suspects, but one is still on the run.

Moving on, a British tourist named Alexander faces legal trouble over alleged fake reviews of a Phuket restaurant. He's accused of orchestrating one-star reviews after a dispute. This sheds light on Thailand's strict defamation laws, showing the serious consequences of online criticism.

Then, there's the heartbreaking story of an elderly woman in Buriram whose buffalo herd vanished, leaving her in financial distress. She's desperately seeking any information and even willing to forgive if the animals are returned.

Thailand's decision to re-criminalize cannabis is causing uproar. This reversal, just two years after decriminalization, could impact various sectors, triggering protests and legal battles.

Lastly, Thailand is on high alert for a historic geomagnetic storm, expected to cause disruptions to satellite communications and electrical systems.
