Praewa’s mother assures the families of victims will be fully compensated
14 Sept 02:06Key points summarised by AI
Praewa's mother, Mrs. Ladawan Dhephasdin, broke her nine-year silence, publicly apologizing for the prolonged delay in compensating victims of a fatal car crash caused by her daughter.
The family announced their intention to sell substantial assets, including land and a house valued at 105 million baht, to fulfill the 26.8 million baht in compensation ordered by the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Ladawan appealed to the Ministry of Justice for advance payments to the victims' families and urged wealthy individuals to purchase their assets to expedite the compensation process.
She took full responsibility for the delay, absolving other clan members, and expressed deep concern for Praewa's current mental state, citing depression and fears of suicide.
Bai Lu meet-and-greet cancelled days after China’s safety warning
Today 15:28Key points summarised by AI
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.
