PTT evacuating some staff from offshore oil rigs ahead of arrival of tropical storm Pa Buk
1 Oct 10:26Key points summarised by AI
PTT Exploration and Production initiated staff evacuation from Gulf of Thailand oil rigs and suspended exploration/maintenance activities as a precautionary measure against Tropical Storm Pa Buk.
Tropical Storm Pa Buk is advancing towards the Gulf of Thailand, forecast to deliver heavy to very heavy rainfall across southern Thailand from January 3-5, with coastal areas expecting waves up to 4-5 meters.
While gas production remains operational, an urgent meeting is scheduled to coordinate emergency responses as the storm is projected to make landfall between Surat Thani and Chumporn provinces.
Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama
Today 15:38Key points summarised by AI
Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
