Gunshot Shocks Playground: Elderly Man, 80, Found Dead with Head Wound
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A shocking scene unfolded on the morning of 2 May, at a playground in the Wang Thonglang district of Bangkok, as a loud gunshot drew the attention of nearby residents. Rushing to the site, witnesses were horrified to discover the lifeless body of an 80-year-old man seated slumped forward on a bench, having suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Police and forensic teams arrived at the scene shortly after 10:30, led by Pol. Lt. Kritsada Sangsimma, an investigator from Wang Thonglang Police Station. They were accompanied by forensic officers, medical examiners from the Police General Hospital, and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation. The deceased, identified only as Mr. A, was wearing a red sleeveless vest and white shorts. A .38 calibre revolver was found on the ground beside him and has been collected as evidence. Initial enquiries revealed that the man had a routine of taking morning walks in the area. Lately, however, he had appeared to be in declining health. Witnesses reported hearing a single gunshot from the rear of the park before finding the victim. Relatives told police that the man had frequently complained of abdominal pain but had refused to seek medical attention. Investigators suspect ongoing health problems may have contributed to what they believe was a suicide. The body has been taken for a post-mortem examination at the Police General Hospital. Authorities have requested the family to coordinate arrangements for religious rites following the autopsy. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-03. -

"Need a Woman": Best song which has these three words? Can you guess?
I love how he drops the name of a song and, without missing a beat, you’re off to YouTube like a man on a mission, hunting down the link and posting it like the rest of us are helpless, drooling invalids who’ve never used a search bar in our lives. Doesn’t all that frantic YouTube foraging cut into your busy schedule of sprinting around your house stark naked with 50 air conditioners blasting, while you furiously fluff-up your bell-end to the tune of grainy Polaroids of your wife cleaning the kitchen floor in her underwear from half a century ago? -

Community Villagers Fear Anthrax Outbreak After Three Cows Die Mysteriously in Loei
Picture courtesy of Amarin. Residents of a rural village near the Thai-Laos border are gripped with fear following the sudden and unexplained deaths of three cows, sparking concerns of a possible anthrax outbreak. Mr. Samai Rittisak, village headman of Kaewtaw Village, Moo 6, Na Di Subdistrict, Dan Sai District, received a report from local resident Mr. Jad Rittisak, 60, who had taken his cows to graze in forested land not far from the Hueang River, which lies near the Thai-Lao border. Shockingly, three female cows aged between three and five years old were found dead, each in separate spots no more than 20 metres apart. None of the animals showed any external wounds, and the cause of death remains unknown. News of the incident spread rapidly through the village, raising fears among locals of a potential anthrax outbreak. In response, district authorities acted swiftly. At 10:30 on 2 May, Dan Sai District Chief Mr. Thanayut Yaikaew deployed administrative officers, medical personnel, and livestock officials to investigate. Veterinary officials collected swab samples from the deceased animals and promptly buried the carcasses. While initial inspections did not reveal signs typically associated with anthrax, such as bleeding from natural orifices, the stiffness of the bodies raised some concern. Experts cautioned that only lab results from tissue samples would confirm the actual cause of death. As a precaution, livestock officials disinfected the area where the cows were found and urged villagers to closely monitor their cattle for unusual symptoms. Locals have also been advised to temporarily refrain from consuming raw meat. The community now awaits the test results with a mixture of anxiety and hope, as officials work to rule out the deadly zoonotic disease.

Cricket Authorities Ban on Transgender Women in Female Competitions Following Legal Ruling
Cricket Authorities Enforce Ban on Transgender Women in Female Competitions Following Legal Ruling Transgender women have been officially barred from participating in female cricket competitions in England and Wales, following a decisive move by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The ruling, effective immediately, comes in response to a recent Supreme Court decision that redefined the legal understanding of "woman" and "sex" under the UK Equality Act 2010, asserting that these terms refer exclusively to biological sex. The ECB stated that “only those whose biological sex is female will be eligible to play in women’s cricket and girls’ cricket matches.” While transgender women and girls are no longer permitted in these categories, they will still be eligible to compete in open and mixed-gender cricket matches. The board explained that its decision was shaped by new legal advice following last month’s ruling, which it described as having a significant bearing on how equality law must now be interpreted within sport. “Given the new advice received about the impact of the Supreme Court ruling, we believe the changes announced today are necessary,” the ECB said in its statement. Despite the exclusion, the board reiterated its commitment to inclusivity and to providing ongoing support to those affected by the new regulations. “Our regulations have always aimed to ensure cricket is as inclusive a sport as possible,” the statement read. The ruling by the UK Supreme Court marked a significant shift in the legal landscape. In a unanimous decision, the court concluded that “a woman” and “sex” under the Equality Act 2010 must be interpreted as meaning “a biological woman and biological sex.” This interpretation has had wide-reaching implications across UK sports, prompting governing bodies to reevaluate their inclusion policies. The ECB acknowledged the emotional and personal impact the new policy would have on transgender players but emphasized that it will work closely with recreational cricket organizations to navigate the transition. “We understand this decision will have a significant impact on transgender women and girls. We are committed to supporting people impacted by this change,” it stated. The cricket board also took the opportunity to underline its stance against prejudice, saying that “abuse and discrimination have no place in our sport” and that cricket should always be played “in a spirit of respect and inclusivity.” The ECB’s announcement aligns it with similar measures recently introduced by other sports bodies. Just a day earlier, England’s Football Association declared that transgender women would no longer be permitted to participate in the women's game. In Scotland, the national football association implemented a similar ban earlier this week. Meanwhile, the Football Association of Wales indicated that it is awaiting further sector guidance before finalizing its stance. This broader trend follows moves in international athletics, cricket, and rugby to implement blanket bans on transgender women competing in female categories. These changes mark a significant moment in the ongoing debate over fairness, inclusion, and the evolving legal interpretations of gender in competitive sports.
