A devastating mudslide and flash flood in Chiang Mai's Mae Chaem district claimed three lives, including a child, and left six people missing, primarily farm workers whose homes were swept away by strong currents.
Continuous heavy rainfall triggered the rapid flood, causing extensive damage to dozens of houses, prompting the evacuation of residents to temporary shelters, and rendering several roads impassable across affected areas, with similar flooding impacting parts of Mae Hong Son.

A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.
