1- Chinese woman, child injured in domestic dispute knife attack
A knife attack in Phuket that injured a Chinese woman and a child, a Patong Beach crackdown on donation scammers and illegal vendors, and a rain-triggered mudslide blocking Ratsada Road led the May 5 Phuket Xtra roundup published Tuesday. The video bulletin, hosted by Jean-Pierre Mestanza, also highlighted legal action over Rawai’s Khao Daeng encroachment and national coverage on three Thai beaches making a world best list.

The roundup linked to a report on Rawai’s Khao Daeng area, where encroachment prompted legal action. It also pointed viewers to a community feature on a sea gypsy “Family Reunion” focused on Urak Lawoi culture.
A Bangkok Post report included in the lineup said three Thai beaches made the “World’s 50 Best” list. The bulletin also referenced recent coverage of a Bang Tao Beach clearance operation, a call to end visa-free entry, and a skywalk probe in the previous day’s May 4 episode.
