Fire Fire Erupts at Tissue Paper Factory in Saraburi, Reports of People Trapped Inside
UPDATE Saraburi: Eight Confirmed Dead, Two Still Missing After Inferno at Tissue Factory Picture from responders. In a devastating industrial disaster, eight workers have been confirmed dead and two others remain unaccounted for following a major fire that tore through a tissue paper factory in Nong Khae district, Saraburi. The blaze, which broke out at a facility producing tissue paper, rapidly consumed large parts of the building due to the highly flammable materials inside. According to initial reports, ten employees were trapped inside the office area on the second and third floors when the fire erupted. Despite the immediate response from emergency services and hours of relentless firefighting, the fire could not be brought under control before claiming multiple lives. Fire crews were hampered by dense paper stockpiles that fuelled the flames and by dangerous structural instability as parts of the building’s floors began to collapse. Rescue operations were further delayed due to the intense heat and unsafe conditions inside the plant. Authorities were forced to focus on extinguishing the fire before they could safely enter the building in search of the missing. Once the fire was brought under partial control, emergency responders recovered eight charred bodies from the wreckage. The identities of the deceased have not yet been confirmed, pending forensic investigation. Two workers are still missing, and the search continues under increasingly difficult conditions. In response to the incident, local officials established a command centre at the scene to coordinate rescue, recovery, and support efforts. Lists of missing Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire, but early indications suggest it began in an office area. The presence of flammable materials allowed the fire to spread with alarming speed through the upper levels of the factory. Authorities have yet to release an estimate of the financial damage, though losses are expected to be significant. The disaster marks one of the most severe industrial fires in the province in recent memory. The operation to locate the two missing workers is ongoing, with emergency teams committed to continuing their search throughout the night, with crews also dampening down hot spots in areas that continue to burn.

Report Thailand Eyes Global Stage with Soft Power Push Led by Paetongtarn
File photo released by Thailand's Government Spokesman Office shows Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra arrives at Government house in Bangkok Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has announced a grand plan to export Thailand's soft power globally. Taking on the culture portfolio in a new cabinet, she vows to promote Thailand's cultural assets, despite potentially facing suspension by the Constitutional Court for alleged ethical breaches. Her initiative aims to boost the nation's cultural influence as part of her government's broader agenda. Paetongtarn, daughter of Pheu Thai's Thaksin Shinawatra, may be ordered to step down, pending a court decision regarding her actions during the Thai-Cambodian border conflict. Without giving specifics, she confirmed intentions to elevate and market Thailand’s cultural prowess globally. Previously, a budget of 5.1 billion baht was set aside by a past Pheu Thai-led government for this cultural scheme, though progress has been limited. As Culture Minister, Paetongtarn has committed to developing soft power alongside tourism and sports projects. However, should the court decide against her tomorrow, Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai is expected to step in as caretaker prime minister. Phumtham, closely aligned with Thaksin, would likely manage the interior portfolio simultaneously. This cabinet reshuffle, placing Thaksin’s daughter in charge of culture, has sparked discussions about tactics to maintain her role within the Pheu Thai-led government. Thammasat University's Prinya Thaewanarumitkul highlighted it as a strategic move to retain her influence. Should Paetongtarn be removed from her position, Pheu Thai MP Chaikasem Nitisiri could be appointed as the new prime minister. Paetongtarn faces allegations of political naivety and compromising Thailand’s interests while interacting with Cambodian leader Hun Sen, a situation perceived to harm the nation's prestige. Despite potential political upheaval, the Pheu Thai Party remains the central force in the coalition government, with Thaksin likely aiming to keep the premiership within his party. Chaikasem, one of Pheu Thai's prime ministerial candidates in the 2023 elections, joins Paetongtarn and former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin as possible successors.
