Bangkok opens a new community isolation center at Kiakkai intersection, specifically welcoming COVID-19 infected children aged 3-14, addressing the anticipated rise in pediatric cases.
This center offers a vital option for parents unable to care for infected children at home, with hotlines and a LINE account (@BKKCOVID19CONNECT) available for support and initial screening.
The initiative follows the discovery of a significant COVID-19 cluster in Sai Mai district, which identified 32 infections, including 13 children, highlighting the urgent need for child-specific care.
These measures are implemented as Thailand experiences a surge in daily COVID-19 infections, with Bangkok resuming the top spot for most cases.

Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama

Today 15:38 Key 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.
