A major fire broke out at the Sunday JA Plus Hotel in Pattaya at around 9pm on May 21. The hotel, formerly known as J.A.

Thailand’s Bureau of the Royal Household issued a new statement reporting that Princess Bajrakitiyabha’s health has worsened. The princess has been receiving treatment at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital since losing consciousness due to a heart condition in December 2022.
