‘Praewa’ road carnage victims advised to seek help from Justice Ministry

14 Sept 01:59 Key points summarised by AI

Victims of the 2010 "Praewa" road carnage, which resulted in nine deaths, have not yet received the 26.8 million baht compensation ordered by the Supreme Court.
Deputy Justice Permanent Secretary Thawatchai Thaikhieu urged victims to seek assistance from the Justice Ministry to enforce the court's compensation order.
Defendants were given 30 days to pay; failure to do so allows victims to request asset seizure and auction through the Legal Execution Department, with Praewa's parents and the car owner held jointly accountable.
The Justice Ministry is ready to mediate a compromise, and Thammasat University's legal affairs center will assist its affected students and staff in securing their due compensation.

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
