Sarayuth Buabandit, a salesperson, started a side gig as a personal grocery shopper in his neighborhood, providing a valuable service as COVID-19 discouraged people from leaving their homes.
This personalized service offers clients desired items, reduces their risk of contracting COVID-19, and is more affordable than delivery apps, with Sarayuth advising others to adopt similar gig work while emphasizing strict safety precautions.

A dinner between Bhumjaithai and Kla Tham party leaders sparked rumors of a potential merger, though Bhumjaithai's leader, Anutin, downplayed it as a casual meal.
The meeting is widely interpreted as a strategic message from Bhumjaithai to the Pheu Thai party, signaling alternative support ahead of an upcoming no-confidence debate.
Thailand's Constitution (Section 99) currently prohibits direct mergers of parties with sitting MPs during the House's term, a rule designed to prevent the 'buying and selling' of MPs.
While direct mergers are restricted, MPs can still switch parties if dismissed by a three-fourths party vote or if their party dissolves, allowing for indirect political realignments.
Kla Tham's voting behavior in the censure debate will demonstrate its loyalty to the government, potentially influencing future political dynamics despite current merger restrictions.
