Bangkok — A grim and deeply distressing incident has sent shockwaves through Thailand’s entertainment world and beyond tonight. Reports have emerged claiming that Yaya Urassaya (Urassaya Sperbund), the famed Thai actress and the partner of actor Nadech Kugimiya, may be trapped inside the ruins of a collapsed high-rise building in Bangkok.
The Incident
According to eyewitness accounts, Yaya was reportedly on her way home about ten minutes ago when she appeared near the scene of the collapse. She was last seen moving toward the structure before all contact was lost. The precise moment she was drawn into the disaster remains uncertain.
Her relatives, upon receiving the harrowing news, have publicly broken down in tears, urging any witnesses to come forward and pleading for her safety.
Search and Rescue Efforts
Local authorities and rescue teams swiftly mobilized to the site. Heavy machinery, cranes, and specialized search equipment have been deployed to sift through debris, hoping to find survivors. Canines and motion sensors are also being used in the effort. No confirmed reports have yet emerged of Yaya’s status—whether she is alive, injured, or otherwise.
Officials caution that the situation is highly precarious. Rescue operations in such collapses are fraught with danger. Every minute counts, yet the unstable structure and potential for further collapse add extreme risk to any attempt at recovery.
The Building Collapse
At this time, the identity and purpose of the building remain unconfirmed. However, earlier in the year, a catastrophic collapse struck a 30-story high-rise under construction in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district following a major earthquake in Myanmar. That collapse claimed dozens of lives and left many missing.
While it is not verified that today’s tragedy is related to that event or to the same structure, the earlier collapse underscores how vulnerable large-scale construction sites can be under seismic stress and structural flaws.
Public Reaction and Uncertainty
News of Yaya’s possible entrapment has ignited a wave of fear and anxiety among fans, colleagues, and the public. Social media is flooded with prayers, pleas, and demands for clarity. Rumors and unverified claims are spreading rapidly, putting pressure on official channels to issue statements.
As of now, neither Yaya’s management team nor Nadech Kugimiya has released an official statement. Media outlets are attempting to reach them for confirmation or comment.
What Comes Next
-
Verification and clarity: Authorities must confirm whether Yaya was in the building at the time and whether any signs of her have been located.
-
Continued rescue operations: Teams must work carefully to avoid further collapse while trying to access deeper levels of the rubble.
-
Official statements: Both the actress’s representatives and Thai government agencies are expected to offer updates as more information becomes available.
-
Support and solidarity: Fans and the public are already sending messages of support; organized vigils and gatherings may follow depending on developments.
A Fragile Hope
At this moment, hope is all that remains. While the ordeal is terrifying, there are cases in disasters where people have been rescued after extended periods underground or entangled in debris. The coming hours will be critical.
We will continue monitoring the situation and report any verified developments as soon as they are confirmed.
