Blaze damages over 300 impounded cars at Mae Sot customs warehouse

A fire on Tuesday night severely damaged over 300 impounded used cars at a Mae Sot customs warehouse, requiring two hours for firefighters to control.
The affected vehicles were among 1,000 cars imported from Japan for re-export to Myanmar but had been stored for several years due to ongoing conflict in Myanmar.
Customs officials had previously attempted to auction off some of these cars, but high asking prices deterred potential buyers.
Forensic officers from Tak province are scheduled to investigate the cause of the destructive blaze.

Panadda faces charges of public defrauding, money laundering, and Computer Crime Act violations, while Atip is charged with complicity in money laundering.
