The crater from the road collapse in front of Vajira Hospital continued to expand until around 2 PM. At 10:35 AM, a pickup truck that had nearly fallen into the sinkhole was lifted out safely. By 1:25 PM, rain caused more soil beneath the Sam Sen Police Station to give way, sliding deeper into the crater while two rescue workers rappelled down to recover a car that had fallen in. Both were pulled up safely. Later, at 1:50 PM, the concrete platform where the pickup had been parked collapsed, with ongoing soil movement making vehicle recovery increasingly difficult.

Malaysia Limits Fuel Sales to Thai Vehicles as Betong Faces Petrol Rush Malaysian authorities have capped fuel sales to Thai vehicles at 35 ringgit per fill (about 290 baht) at petrol stations near the border as demand surged amid concerns over global oil supplies linked to fighting in the Middle East. The move comes as long queues formed at petrol stations in Betong district, Yala, on Sunday. Several stations reported temporary shortages, with some posting “diesel sold out” signs and others shortening operating hours to 12:00–18:00 while waiting for deliveries. Some stations also limited purchases to 1,000 baht per customer to manage demand. Lines of vehicles stretched onto nearby roads, and some residents brought large containers to store fuel for farming and transport. Fuel remains cheaper in Malaysia, where diesel sells for about 2.15 ringgit per litre (about 18 baht), while RON95 costs 1.99 ringgit (about 16 baht) and RON97 costs 3.85 ringgit (about 32 baht). Malaysian authorities say the limits are also aimed at curbing smuggling of subsidised fuel into Thailand. In Kelantan, enforcement officers have arrested 46 suspected smugglers and seized 75 modified vehicles worth about 451,500 ringgit (about 3.7 million baht) in operations since early this year. The vehicles — mostly Proton Wira and Proton Iswara sedans — had enlarged or additional fuel tanks installed in the boot or beneath rear seats to transport fuel to transit points before smuggling it across the border. Authorities are also monitoring 48 petrol stations near the Thai border in Kelantan, about half located within a 25-kilometre radius. Separately, Malaysia’s Road Transport Department warned Thai vehicles without an International Circulation Permit (ICP) found more than two kilometres from border entry points could be seized.

Malaysia Pencak Silat Team Attacks Referees and Organisers After Controversial SEA Games Loss Members of the Malaysian Pencak Silat team attacked referees and organisers following a disputed quarterfinal loss to host nation Thailand at the 33rd SEA Games yesterday. Malaysian athlete Nor Farah Mazlan fought to a 60-60 stalemate against Thailand’s Jongtima Ruenthong in the women’s Class B (50–55 kg) category at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani. Officials awarded the win to Jongtima based on a tie-breaker rule, citing that Nor Farah committed more fouls. The decision angered the Malaysian team, who argued that Nor Farah had been more proactive and effective during the match. Head coach Siti Rahmah Mohamed Nasir, along with Nor Farah and several staff members, protested the ruling. When verbal appeals failed, some team members physically assaulted referees and organisers, forcing security and police to intervene. The match was temporarily suspended before resuming, with the Thai victory upheld. The incident has sparked debate over scoring fairness in Pencak Silat, a Southeast Asian martial art combining combat and artistic movements. #Thailand #Malaysia #SEAgames #SEAgames2025 #SEAGames33 #ซีเกมส์ #ซีเกมส์2568 #ซีเกมส์ครั้งที่33 #ซีเกมส์33

There was a long queue at the Thai embassy in Yangon today as Myanmar's people rushed to leave the country following the junta's announcement of compulsory military service for all young men and women. The move was announced last Saturday, ordering all men aged 18 to 35 and women aged 18 to 27 to serve at least two years under military command. This decision coincides with the Myanmar military's struggle to cope with escalating offensives by resistance forces. Meanwhile, the civilian National Unity Government has declared the junta a "terrorist group" that imposed an illegal law due to a lack of legal mandate to enforce a legitimate one, as reported by The Irrawaddy. #Thailand #Myanmar

Singapore eyes Thailand Land Bridge as PM Anutin Charnvirakul hosts Chan Chun Sing for talks Thailand’s proposed Land Bridge project drew interest from Singapore during talks between Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and visiting Singaporean Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office. The meeting, held on Monday at Government House, saw Singapore view the Land Bridge as a strategic logistics link connecting two seas, aimed at reducing transport risks and boosting regional connectivity. The Thai premier said the project would require significant investment and cooperation from the public and private sectors, as well as international partners, to ensure long-term sustainability. Beyond infrastructure, the two sides discussed expanding cooperation across several key sectors. In defence, both countries reaffirmed long-standing ties, including joint exercises such as Cobra Gold, with Thailand continuing to support Singapore’s use of training facilities. Energy cooperation was also highlighted, with both sides exploring collaboration in fuel management, energy trade, and regional power grid connectivity, alongside greater use of renewable energy to strengthen regional energy security. In the aviation sector, Thailand and Singapore discussed developing joint capabilities in aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), combining Singapore’s technological expertise with Thailand’s geographic and workforce advantages to position the region as a service hub. Food security was another area of focus, with Thailand’s agricultural capacity seen as complementing countries with limited food resources, supporting broader regional stability.

8 Killed, 25 Injured in Bangkok Train-Bus Collision Near Makkasan Station Eight people were killed and about 25 injured according to initial reports after a freight train collided with a public bus and several vehicles at a railway crossing in central Bangkok on Friday, triggering a major fire. The crash occurred at about 3.35 p.m. near Airport Rail Link Makkasan Station on Asok-Din Daeng Road when State Railway of Thailand freight train No. 2126, operating from Laem Chabang to Bang Sue Junction, struck a blue air-conditioned Route 206 bus that had stopped across the tracks while waiting at a red light at the Asok-Phetchaburi intersection. Several cars and motorcycles were also caught in the collision. The impact sparked a fire that engulfed the area before firefighters brought the blaze under control. Rescue workers and emergency personnel rushed injured victims to nearby hospitals. Authorities said the death toll could rise as investigations continued. Smoke from the fire also affected the Airport Rail Link’s Makkasan Station above the crash site, forcing a temporary station closure and causing trains to pass through without stopping. Services resumed normally at 4.35 p.m. after the situation was brought under control. The Transport Ministry said the State Railway of Thailand and the Department of Rail Transport had launched an urgent investigation into the cause of the accident and safety conditions at the level crossing. #Thailand #Bangkok #ไฟไหม้ #มักกะสัน #รถไฟชนรถเมล์

Bangkok Opens Green Bridge Linking Lumphini and Benjakitti Parks Bangkok authorities have opened a newly upgraded “Green Bridge,” creating a 250-metre elevated walkway connecting Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park, in a move to expand continuous green space in the city centre. Deputy Bangkok Governor Chakkaphan Phewngam visited the project site in Pathum Wan on May 1 to monitor progress. Officials said construction is more than 81.5% complete, with the walkway already open informally to the public while finishing touches continue. The project includes the 250-metre bridge link as well as upgrades to supporting facilities such as storage buildings, public restrooms, and office space. Landscaping beneath the bridge is also being improved to provide a more shaded and accessible environment. The bridge is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. starting May 1, with staff deployed for safety. Once fully completed, the link will form a continuous green corridor between Lumphini and Benjakitti parks for walking, running, and recreation. #Thailand #Bangkok #PublicParks
