Pro-democracy and pro-election activists staged a protest outside army headquarters, demanding the army chief cease broadcasting the ultra-nationalist song “Nak Paendin,” which they denounced as inciting hatred and division.
The demonstration evolved into a “musical face-off” where activists played the anti-junta song “Prathet Goo Mee,” met by police blasting a patriotic song, “Kwanfun Un Soongsong,” with student activists questioned and an attempt to re-enact a historical violent event prevented.

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
