Shrimp Industry Seeks PM's Help to Rescue Crisis as Exports Plummet by 720 Billion Baht

Thailand's shrimp industry has sought urgent government intervention as disease outbreaks and rising costs have slashed exports by 720 billion baht over 13 years. Industry groups propose an 11-point restructuring plan with 5.5 billion baht

5d ago Khaosod

Thailand's shrimp industry associations have submitted an urgent letter to the Prime Minister and four relevant ministries requesting immediate intervention to address a deepening crisis. According to Akkarapoj Yodpinit, chairman of the Thai Shrimp Association, the letter was co-submitted by allied shrimp farmers and the Thai Frozen Food Association to the Ministries of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Commerce, Energy, and Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, urging coordinated action across the entire supply chain.

The industry is proposing a national-priority action plan comprising 11 measures with a budget allocation of 5.537 billion baht to restructure the entire shrimp sector. The proposals include expanding domestic and international markets, promoting solar-powered shrimp farms, researching disease solutions, and developing microbial management systems to reduce costs and improve competitiveness.

Akkarapoj explained that Thailand's shrimp industry was once a world champion, generating substantial export revenue and supporting over 2 million people across the production chain. However, since an acute disease outbreak began in 2012, annual shrimp production has plummeted to just 270,000-280,000 tons, with only 160,000 tons reaching processing factories. This has resulted in annual export losses of approximately 60 billion baht, representing a cumulative economic opportunity cost of over 720 billion baht across 13 years.

Despite farmers and industry stakeholders' independent efforts to address the crisis, they have been unable to reverse the decline. The primary obstacle remains disease, which constrains production and keeps costs uncompetitively high compared to rival nations. "This letter to the Prime Minister and four ministries is an urgent call for the government to recognize the severity of the situation," Akkarapoj stated. "Without implementing coordinated measures that all stakeholders agree on, Thailand's shrimp industry may collapse entirely, which would be tragic given our competitive advantages in production capacity, quality, food safety standards, and traceability systems."

Akkarapoj expressed confidence that with government support and implementation of the proposed measures, the structural problems plaguing the entire industry could be resolved, potentially restoring Thailand's shrimp sector as a major driver of national economic growth.

Overpass collapse during demolition kills one, traps workers in western Seoul

One worker was killed and another in cardiac arrest after a section of the Seosomun overpass collapsed during demolition in western Seoul, trapping approximately six people beneath rubble. Rescue teams pulled four people from the site by Tu

5d ago Khaosod

SEOUL, South Korea — One person has been killed and another is in cardiac arrest after a section of an overpass collapsed during demolition works in western Seoul on Tuesday, trapping workers beneath the rubble.

The incident occurred at around 14:32 at the Seosomun overpass demolition site in Seodaemun-gu. Part of the road deck gave way while crews were carrying out demolition work, leaving an estimated six people and one demolition vehicle trapped underneath.

Emergency services reached the scene within six minutes. A Level 1 emergency response was declared shortly after, bringing 62 rescue personnel, 16 vehicles, and five additional ambulances to the site. Around 30 police officers were also deployed.

By Tuesday afternoon, four of those trapped had been pulled out. One died at the scene and another was found in cardiac arrest. Two people remained unaccounted for, with rescue teams still working to reach them.

The collapse forced a suspension of train services between Seoul Station and Sinchon Station, disrupting the Gyeongui Line and nearby routes, according to state railway operator Korail.

The incident cast a shadow over the city's upcoming mayoral race. Both frontrunners in the 3 June election halted campaigning and headed to the site. Prime Minister Kim Min-seok issued an emergency directive ordering all relevant agencies to maximise rescue efforts, identify nearby medical facilities, and ensure injured people were transported quickly to minimise casualties.

The Korea Herald reported that authorities have yet to determine the exact cause of the collapse.

Pattani FC Slapped with 143,333 Baht Fine After Supporters Storm Field Following Thai League Promotion

Pattani FC was fined 143,333 baht after fans stormed the field following their promotion-clinching playoff victory over Nongbua Pitchaya FC, with penalties issued for inadequate crowd control and security management.

5d ago Khaosod

Pattani FC, a newly promoted team from Thai League 2 to the Thai League, has been fined 143,333 baht by the Disciplinary Committee following the final playoff promotion match. The club secured their promotion ticket to the Thai League by defeating Nongbua Pitchaya FC with an aggregate score of 5-4 over two legs.

During the second leg playoff match at Pattani Provincial Organization Stadium, approximately 12,800 fans attended. After the match concluded, supporters and cheerleaders rushed directly from around the pitch onto the playing field to celebrate with the team's players.

The Disciplinary Committee has now issued penalties against Pattani FC for failing to prevent cheerleaders from occupying areas not designated for seating, in violation of penalty regulations Chapter 3, Section 2, Article 5.3.17, imposing an initial fine of 80,000 baht. Since this is a repeat offense within the same competition season, an additional 40,000 baht penalty was added, totaling 120,000 baht. However, due to this being a Thai League 2 competition, the fine was reduced to two-thirds, resulting in a 80,000 baht penalty.

The supporter group was separately penalized 50,000 baht for breaching the perimeter fence and entering the playing field, reduced to 33,333 baht under Thai League 2 regulations.

Pattani FC was additionally fined 30,000 baht for inadequate security management protocols under penalty regulations Chapter 3, Section 2, Article 5.3.18(3). Since the club had previously received penalties on August 16, 2568 and April 3, 2569 for similar violations in the same season, an additional 15,000 baht penalty was imposed, bringing the total to 45,000 baht, reduced to 30,000 baht under Thai League 2 competition standards.

TTB Points Out Thai SMEs Trapped in 'Survival Mode' – Unable to Grow Despite Economic Headwinds and Chinese Product Surge; Bank Eyes Double-Digit Lending Expansion

Thai SMEs are trapped in survival mode due to sluggish economic growth, high debt, and Chinese import competition, with only a third contributing to GDP compared to 40% historically. Thai Military Bank plans double-digit lending expansion a

5d ago Khaosod

Thai Military Bank (TTB) released its SME Insight 2026 survey showing Thai entrepreneurs facing mounting pressures from sluggish economic growth, high household debt, rising business costs, and intense competition from Chinese imports. Most SMEs remain stuck in "survival thinking" rather than growth planning, even as they begin adopting digital tools and AI. TTB is meanwhile pushing ahead with double-digit expansion of new SME lending after seeing signs the market has bottomed out, while maintaining strict control over non-performing loans at no more than 5%.

Pirpong Nitikraivut, head of TTB's business customer strategy group, revealed that while SMEs account for over 90% of all Thai businesses and employ more than 70% of the workforce—approximately 13.6 million people—they contribute only about one-third of the country's GDP. This reflects declining competitiveness among Thai SMEs compared to developed economies like South Korea, where SMEs generate 45-50% of GDP. Thailand's SME contribution has fallen from nearly 40% historically to just one-third today.

"SMEs are the backbone of Thailand's economy, but today they're stuck in place while the world moves forward," Pirpong said. "Their competitiveness is declining as a result."

Key pressures stem from Thailand's sluggish 2-3% annual economic growth, far below regional peers, while household debt remains near 90% of GDP, weakening domestic purchasing power. Thai entrepreneurs also face fierce competition from surging Chinese imports flooding the region as China's exports to the US slump. Geopolitical factors and trade tensions meanwhile continue pushing up operating costs for energy, transportation, raw materials, and online platform fees.

"Many entrepreneurs consistently report that rising costs are the biggest pressure. Some businesses barely make any profit but must maintain sales just to keep operating," Pirpong said.

The SME Insight 2026 survey of over 120 entrepreneurs across Bangkok and the provinces, covering businesses with annual revenues of 50-400 million baht, identified the first critical bottleneck: "Thinking to survive, not to win." Many entrepreneurs focus on short-term problem-solving rather than building competitive advantages or long-term planning. The survey found 33% of SMEs have virtually no long-term business plan or only year-to-year planning, while 27% say their primary goal is simply keeping the business running and meeting payroll. "Those focused only on survival saw revenue drops exceeding 30%, with some declining nearly 50%," Pirpong noted.

The second bottleneck is "Using digital tools but not transforming the business." While 87% of Thai SMEs have adopted digital systems for management and nearly 60% have begun applying AI, most use them at basic levels—payment systems, translation, or report summaries. Meanwhile, over 58% of businesses saw flat or declining revenues. Pirpong stressed that maximizing technology benefits requires integrating financial data, accounting, sales, personnel, and customer information for strategic analysis and management.

The third bottleneck involves "Knowing profit and loss but not managing risk." While 90% of SMEs now use accounting systems and better understand costs, they lack analysis of cash flow, credit, and volatile cost risks. A fourth bottleneck related to growth capacity was also identified in the survey.

Investigation Results Released: Crane Collapse on Rama II Road Claims 2 Lives, Blamed on Preventable Design Flaws

A crane collapse on Rama II Road in January killed two people, with investigators concluding the disaster resulted from improper fastening system installation and thermal expansion rather than material defects or natural causes.

5d ago Khaosod

On May 26, Deputy Secretary of Transport Jiraphong Theppituk, chairman of the fact-finding committee, announced the investigation results regarding the concrete beam and crane collapse on Highway 82 (Rama II Road), joined by Highway Department Director Piyapong Jiwattanakulpaisarn and State Railway of Thailand Acting Governor Anan Pothnim.

Jiraphong stated that on January 15, a massive crane used for bridge construction, along with prefabricated concrete components weighing several hundred tons combined, collapsed onto Rama II Road at kilometer 30+300 in Tha Chin Subdistrict, Mueang District, Samut Sakhon Province, while the public was using the route. Two people were killed and two injured.

The Ministry of Transport established a fact-finding committee immediately on the same day and appointed an engineering subcommittee comprising national-level experts led by Associate Professor Anak Siripanichkul, President of the Engineering Institute of Thailand. The committee held 8 main meetings and 4 additional engineering subcommittee sessions, conducting comprehensive investigations including:

– Site inspection of the accident location to examine damage firsthand – Collection of 21 documentary pieces from the Highway Department covering contracts, construction drawings, crane manuals, and safety reports – Testimony from 13 involved parties including the employer, designer, and contractor – Testing of concrete material quality in laboratory and field conditions – Structural analysis using computer modeling (Finite Element Method) – Systematic examination of all 7 hypothetical causes

After eliminating hypotheses through engineering evidence, the subcommittee concluded the root cause was not poor-quality materials, soil subsidence, or natural disaster. The collapse resulted from accumulated installation defects that eventually led to failure.

The bridge under construction had a slope, requiring the hundreds-ton crane to stand on this inclined surface. The contractor attempted to solve this by stacking 8 layers of steel plates over 80 centimeters high and adding a sand layer—comparable to stacking nearly 1 meter of bricks and placing heavy trucks on the sloped area. This resulted in incorrect crane fastening system installation, changing from the manual-specified Pin-Roller system (allowing thermal expansion) to a Pin-Pin system (completely locked on both sides).

Morning sunlight raised metal temperature approximately 8 degrees Celsius, causing thermal expansion. Due to both sides being locked, lateral pressure developed, pressing down on the stacked steel plates on the sloped surface. The steel plates began sliding off layer by layer rapidly, causing the crane's supporting legs to collapse and the entire crane to fall.

The committee found fault with both the contractor and the work supervisor. The contractor (Italian Thai Development Public Company Limited) improperly installed the crane fastening system, changing it from Pin-Roller to Pin-Pin without approval.

Shocking! Investigation Reveals Launching Gantry Crane Collapse onto Train at Sikhiu Left 31 Dead, Never Inspected During Operation

Shocking! Investigation Reveals Launching Gantry Crane Collapse onto Train at Sikhiu Left 31 Dead, Never Inspected During Operation, Failed to Replace Support Steel on Schedule, No On-Site Engineer

May 26, 2025 – Deputy Secretary-General of the Ministry of Transport Jiraphong Theppitag announced investigation results into the Thai-Chinese high-speed railway construction crane that collapsed onto Express Train No. 21 running between Bangkok and Ubon Ratchathani, in the area between Nong Nam Khun and Sikhiu stations in Nakhon Ratchasima province on January 14, resulting in 31 deaths and 71 injuries.

Jiraphong stated that after an intensive 45-day investigation, the engineering accident was caused by a Launching Gantry crane—a mobile steel bridge that lifts hundreds of tons of concrete segments to place them sequentially. The crane stands on three support legs with clear procedures requiring that before moving forward, the middle leg must first be brought close to the front leg to help bear the load together.

However, on the day of the incident, workers bypassed this procedure and immediately ordered the crane to move. This caused over 700 tons of weight to press down on the front leg alone. The support steel (PT Bar) could not withstand the force and broke, causing the crane foundation to collapse onto the train passing below.

The committee found this was not a single worker's error but a systemic failure involving all parties:

Party 1: Contractor (Italian-Thai Construction Company)

1.1 Bypassed established procedures in the manual by failing to move the middle leg close to the front leg before operating the crane—a mandatory step in the work procedure. Site engineers and work supervisors admitted they regularly omitted this step.

1.2 Work commenced without authorization. The site engineer instructed the team to start at 08:00 without waiting for work approval and without notifying the supervising engineer, claiming the supervisor was late.

1.3 Failed to request train service closure. There was no notification to Thai Railways to suspend train operations while working above the railway tracks, despite the contract clearly requiring this. The only evidence found was a request for Window Time between January 20-30, which was after the incident date.

1.4 Failed to replace support steel on schedule. The construction supervision consultant (CSC) had circulated notices since 2023 requiring PT Bar support steel replacement every 60 operational cycles, but the contractor claimed not to know despite previous incidents in 2023 on the Rama II Expressway Project generating similar warning notices.

1.5 Failed to conduct crane safety inspections according to legal schedules every three months. Inspection cycles were found to be delayed, and certification documents only covered 1 of 4 lifting equipment sets that should have been inspected.

Party 2: Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC)

2.1 No full-time on-site engineer or safety officer. CSC's safety staff visited the site only 1-2 times per week, and the supervising engineer was not constantly present.

2.2 Clear behavioral violations were found: work approvals were signed in advance for multiple days at a time, and backdated signatures were found up to three weeks late. CSC management was aware but took no corrective action, constituting serious dereliction of duty.

2.3 The crane was never inspected throughout its operational period. Neither CSC engineers nor safety staff ever directly inspected the crane's condition and operating procedures, not even once.

Party 3: State Railway of Thailand (SRT)

3.1 Overloaded assignments. The project engineer supervising Contract 3-4 where the incident occurred was assigned to oversee five contracts simultaneously, while other contracts with more intensive oversight had one-to-one engineer assignments. As a result, Contract 3-4 received inadequate supervision.

21-Year-Old French Player Arthur Gea Rushes to Bathroom During French Open Debut Match

French 21-year-old Arthur Gea made his Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros but struggled with stomach issues, taking an emergency bathroom break during his first-set loss to 13th-seeded Karen Khachanov.

5d ago Khaosod

French home-grown tennis player Arthur Gea faced a difficult situation at the French Open after he had to rush off court for an emergency bathroom break early in the first set of his debut match last Sunday. The incident occurred while Gea was trailing 13th-seeded Karen Khachanov 4-2, when he suddenly asked the umpire for permission and hurried off the Suzanne Lenglen court. "I need to go to the bathroom. I can't move anymore. I have to go," Gea told the umpire in French before rushing away. Typically, tennis rules only allow players bathroom breaks at the end of sets, making this unscheduled break a notable occurrence. Khachanov showed some mild frustration at having to wait about 3 minutes during play, which wasn't a normal changeover period. However, Gea later clarified that the umpire allowed him to leave for "medical reasons" and he received pain relief medication for stomach issues during the match. After the match, the 21-year-old revealed he began feeling unwell that morning and his condition worsened during play, compounded by Paris temperatures exceeding 31 degrees Celsius. Khachanov won convincingly in straight sets 6-3, 7-6(3), 6-0. Despite putting up a fight in the second set that went to a tiebreak, Gea couldn't withstand his opponent's composure and strength. The match lasted 2 hours and 38 minutes, marking the end of Gea's Grand Slam debut with a loss. Karen Khachanov, the 30-year-old Russian player, advanced in the tournament.
