Fire Massive Fire Destroys Bangkok Power Tool Warehouse, Losses Exceed 100 Million Baht
Pictures from responders. A massive blaze broke out at a warehouse storing imported cordless power tools in Bangkok on the evening of 9 May, causing estimated damages in excess of 100 million baht. Authorities believe the fire may have been sparked by an electrical short circuit. The incident occurred at approximately 20:30, at the iMax Power Tool Co., Ltd. warehouse, located at No. 15, Soi Samae Dam 21, Samae Dam Subdistrict, Bang Khun Thian District. Police Lieutenant Thanadon Thongthai of Samae Dam Police Station responded to the emergency, accompanied by multiple fire engines. The fire engulfed two adjacent single-storey warehouses that stored battery-powered tools under the ‘Osuka’ brand, imported from China. Firefighters reported rapid fire spread, intensified by multiple explosions believed to have come from stored batteries. The blaze quickly reached the neighbouring warehouse and began a structural collapse of the units, making the situation increasingly difficult to control. Firefighters battled the inferno for over two hours before bringing it under control. Both warehouses were almost completely destroyed, including the company’s front office. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported. Mr. Panupan Satitsuksomboon, 28, managing director of the company, stated that the facility served as a storage and distribution centre for cordless electric tools. The fire reportedly started at the rear of the warehouse where many of the devices were kept. He suspects an electrical short circuit, possibly from a battery may have triggered the fire. Mr. Panupan added that the facility spanned 1,300 square metres and the business had been operating for about a year. Fortunately, the premises were insured under a fire protection policy. Once the site has cooled sufficiently, forensic investigators will examine the remains to determine the precise cause of the blaze. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-10. -

Report Doctors in Hot Water: Police Probe Looms Over Thaksin Case
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World The National police chief, Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet, has issued a stern warning that the two doctors suspended by the Medical Council of Thailand may face a disciplinary probe. This follows allegations of ethical breaches linked to their treatment of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Initial information has been based on media reports, and official documents are awaited for definitive action. Reports suggest these doctors might be from the Police General Hospital. The ethics committee of the Medical Council found discrepancies between the medical certificates they issued and Thaksin's actual health condition. While their names remain undisclosed, the link to the Police General Hospital remains a topic of speculation. “If confirmed that these doctors committed offenses, they could face disciplinary action and punishment, given their status as police officers,” stated Pol Gen Kitrat. Additionally, the possibility of criminal charges looms if formal complaints are filed against them. Thaksin, who returned to Thailand in August 2023 after over 10 years abroad, was sentenced to eight years for corruption and abuse of power. This sentence was subsequently reduced to a year by a royal pardon. Upon arrival, instead of prison, Thaksin was moved to a VVIP room at the Police General Hospital, citing health reasons. His extended stay prompted allegations of special treatment and a suspected backdoor deal. This development raises concerns over integrity and transparency within Thailand’s medical and justice systems. The implications of this case could set significant precedents concerning ethical standards and accountability in medical practice. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-05-10 -

Accident Man Found Dead in Pond After Night Fishing Trip in Tak Province
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 56-year-old man who went missing overnight was found dead the following morning in a pond near his home in Mae Sot district, Tak province. Police from Mae Sot Police Station received a report at approximately 10:00 on 8 May from local residents who had discovered a body floating in a pond located in Ban Nuea, behind Wat Boonyawat Temple in Mae Sot Subdistrict. Rescue workers from the Pitakkarn Mae Sot Unit were immediately dispatched to the scene. The location was at the end of a narrow road, surrounded by tall grass and reeds. Upon arrival, officials found a group of villagers gathered around the pond, where the body of a man was seen floating face-up in the water. On the bank was a metal rod commonly used for electrofishing, and a blue nylon mesh bag for collecting fish. Police permitted rescue workers to retrieve the body, which was identified as Mr Sarawut a 56-year-old electrician from the local area. He reportedly suffered from several chronic illnesses, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He had previously been treated in intensive care but had since resumed a normal lifestyle. According to police investigations, Mr Sarawut had informed his wife around 20:00 on 7 May that he was going out to collect morning glory, a common local vegetable. His wife and daughter remained at home. When he failed to return by morning, his daughter reported his disappearance to police. Authorities believe his death may have been caused either by accidental electrocution or by complications from his underlying health conditions. The body has been transferred to Mae Sot Hospital for an autopsy before being returned to the family. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-10.
