Fire Tourists Flee in Panic as Fire Guts Resort Café on Cha-am Beach
Picture courtesy of Daily News. A dramatic fire broke out in the early hours of 3 May, at a beachfront resort café in Cha-am, sending tourists fleeing in panic as flames rapidly engulfed the kitchen, café, and adjacent guest accommodation. The incident occurred at around 01.00 at the More Than Beach & Café resort, located on Bang Ket beach in Bang Kao subdistrict, Cha-am district, Phetchaburi province. Pol. Sub-Lt. Sikkharet Nora of Cha-am Police Station responded to the emergency call and coordinated with fire units from Cha-am Municipality and Bang Kao Subdistrict. Four fire engines were dispatched to the scene. The blaze began in the kitchen area and quickly spread to the café, both situated right by the beach. Firefighters battled intense flames for approximately 30 minutes before successfully bringing the situation under control. By then, the kitchen, café, coffee machines, electrical appliances, and all related equipment had been completely destroyed. A nearby guest room also fell victim to the fire. More than 10 tourists were staying at the resort at the time. Fortunately, all managed to evacuate safely without injuries, though one group lost personal belongings and valuables in the fire. Authorities cordoned off the affected area and barred access to ensure public safety. Forensic experts from Phetchaburi province inspected the site later to determine the exact cause of the blaze. Preliminary estimates put the damage at no less than 600,000 baht. The resort owner has made arrangements for the displaced guests, securing alternative accommodation for them while they recover from the ordeal. One tourist recounted the frightening experience, saying he and his girlfriend had travelled from Bangkok for a relaxing holiday. “We were inside our room when we heard a loud noise. I opened the door and saw the kitchen on fire. We ran out immediately without taking anything. Soon after, the flames reached our room and everything was gone.” Investigations are ongoing.

Power Outage in Spain and Portugal Sparks Energy Security Debate in Thailand Picture courtesy of Matichon. A prolonged power outage that left large parts of Spain and Portugal without electricity for hours has raised concerns about energy stability in countries increasingly dependent on renewable sources. Trirat Sirichantaropas, CEO of New Energy Plus Solutions and former deputy secretary-general of the Thai Sang Thai Party, addressed the issue in a social media post, questioning whether a similar incident could occur in Thailand.

Report Power Outage in Spain and Portugal Sparks Energy Security Debate in Thailand
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A prolonged power outage that left large parts of Spain and Portugal without electricity for hours has raised concerns about energy stability in countries increasingly dependent on renewable sources. Trirat Sirichantaropas, CEO of New Energy Plus Solutions and former deputy secretary-general of the Thai Sang Thai Party, addressed the issue in a social media post, questioning whether a similar incident could occur in Thailand. The blackout caused widespread disruption across the Iberian Peninsula. Residential areas, hospitals, schools, train stations, and airports were all affected, leading to significant economic losses. Mr Trirat, an advocate for clean energy, explained that both Spain and Portugal are leaders in renewable energy adoption in Europe, with over 60 gigawatts of renewable capacity, including 27 GW from wind and 18 GW from solar. While this transition helps combat climate change and reduces energy costs, he highlighted a crucial downside: the instability of renewable energy sources. “Renewables such as solar and wind are largely dependent on natural conditions, sunshine and wind, which are unpredictable,” he said. “Without sufficient backup power from stable sources like gas or hydroelectric plants, the system becomes vulnerable.” Citing a Reuters report, he noted that just before the outage, Spain’s power mix consisted of 59% solar, 12% wind, 11% nuclear, and 5% combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT). Unexpectedly, solar power generation dropped by more than 50% in just five minutes, from 18 GW to 8 GW, for reasons that remain unclear. Backup systems were insufficient to cope with the sudden shortfall, causing grid frequency to drop from the standard 50 Hz to 49.85 Hz. This triggered an automatic shutdown of numerous devices and systems, plunging millions into darkness. Could this happen in Thailand? Mr Trirat reassured that such a scenario is unlikely in the Kingdom. “Thailand’s power generation is still heavily reliant on stable sources like gas, coal, and oil, which account for about 90% of our mix, with renewables making up only 10%,” he said. “Our energy system is among the most robust in the region, and security of supply remains a top priority.” However, he cautioned against complacency. As Thailand gradually transitions towards a greater reliance on renewable energy, it is essential to balance this with adequate backup capacity. Without it, the country could one day face similar vulnerabilities. “The lesson here is not to avoid renewables, but to manage them wisely. Energy transition must be accompanied by planning and infrastructure that can ensure stability, even in unforeseen circumstances,” he concluded. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-04.
