A pick-up truck and motorbike burst into flames at a flea market in Roi Et’s Muang district on Wednesday after a snack vendor lost control of a pan of hot oil.

Construction of the new landmark rising in the Northeast province of Roi Et province is more than 90 per cent complete. The Roi-Et 101 Tower will open to visitors before the end of 2020, giving them a bird’s-eye view of the provincial capital, said city mayor Banchong Kositchiranan.
