A former United Thai Nation (UTN) candidate, Shinapat Kitlertsiriwattana, publicly criticized former Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat, urging him to cease interfering with government efforts to assist Thais in Israel.
Shinapat stated Pita's actions, including contacting the Israeli ambassador and offering support, were 'none of his business' and 'fame seeking,' arguing they would only cause confusion as Pita holds no official government position.

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.
