More celebrities turn themselves in to police over Magic Skin product reviews

Two more celebrities turned themselves in to the police to give testimonies over their roles in product reviews  for Magic Skin cosmetics and food supplements.

The two actors,  Phutthichai Kasetsin or DJ Put, and Kan Kantathavorn told  deputy national police chief Pol Gen Weerachai Songmetta and police investigators that they were contacted to review the products and personally, they believed the products were reliable because they saw Food and Drug Administration registration numbers on the labels.

Both claimed that  many celebrities had also reviewed the products and the  advertisements of the products  were widely seen on the internet and billboards.

After testing the products they found no side effects, so they thought the products were safe and met the standard.

But they said they later  heard on the news media  that the  food supplements and skin care products under the Magic Skin were substandard and were  illegal.

Pol Gen Weerachai said  the police will summon 22 other celebrities and net idols to give information about their product review for the Magic Skin brand from June 14-16.

Among them are  actor Patchara Peach Chirathivat, actress Warattaya Jui Nilkuha, singer Tom Room 39, singer Baitoey, and Chalita Suansane, Miss Universe Thailand 2016.

He said this group will be the last group to be summoned in the case.

He said so far, 59 celebrities were summoned by the police and 27 persons have already met the police to testify.

The police have not yet pressed any charges against them as they are gathering evidence to wrap up the case, but would do later after all investigation is finished, he added.

PM Prayut concerned about rampant football betting during World Cup 2018

The Prime Minister has expressed concerns about rampant football betting among Thais since the start of World Cup 2018. Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha said today that he wants Thai football fans to watch and enjoy football matches for entertainment, without letting it affect their health or efficiency at work or in the classroom. Most importantly, Gen. Prayut urged the public to refrain from football betting as such a vice can lead to debt and financial problems. The Prime Minister’s concerns are particularly directed at young Thais as many are still innocent and not aware of how something done for fun can lead to major problems in the future. He has instructed the Ministry of Education to promote an accurate understanding of the enjoyment of sports among students while engaging with parents to help keep their children away from gambling. Gen. Prayut added that the police have been monitoring all types of online betting, via websites and mobile phone applications, and he...

More Bueng Kan farmers producing durian

Rubber farmers in Beung Khong Long district, Beung Kan province, have been able to supplement their incomes by growing durians. The rubber farmers have now begun picking durians from the trees as they begin to ripen. One durian plantation owner, Chaiyo Sisaeng, said his durian trees produced more durians this year. They will be harvested and ready for sale in the middle of this month. Chaiyo said the reason he started producing durian was because the weather in Bueng Kan was similar to the weather in the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat where he had previously rented a plot of land to grow durian trees. After returning to his hometown in Bueng Kan, he decided to grow some on his land where there are now 125 durian trees. Forty of them have produced durians this year. Chaiyo is expecting to make 20,000 baht in profit from selling the sought-after fruit. Around 100 farmers in Beung Khong Long district alone, now grow durian trees. It is expected that Beung Kan will be abl...
