Four evacuation centres ready for those fleeing fighting in Myanmar
Thai authorities prepare four evacuation shelters in Mae Hong Son's Sob Moei district for villagers and Myanmar people fleeing intensified fighting near the border.
Myanmar junta's daily air strikes near the Thai border have caused minor damage to a hospital and 18 houses in Mae Sam Laeb from stray shrapnel.
Thailand has increased security, requested a 10-kilometer safe zone from the Myanmar junta, and observed quiet cross-border trade due to escalating conflict.

Two illegal entertainment venues in Phuket raided in nominee crackdown
Joint forces raided two Phuket entertainment venues, 'CLC Restaurant Phuket' and 'The Black Bar', for operating without proper licenses and violating labor laws.
Investigators discovered 'CLC Restaurant Phuket' was likely a nominee business, with Ukrainian investors allegedly using a Thai woman as a front.
Both establishments face charges under the Entertainment Venue Act, Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, and Royal Decree on managing foreign workers, with authorities seeking a five-year closure order.
