Tragedy struck Bangkok this evening when a high-rise building suddenly collapsed, leaving dozens missing — including Thai actor Mark Prin Suparat, husband of beloved actress Kimmy Kimberley Anne Woltemas.
According to multiple eyewitnesses, Mark was last seen near the site just 15 minutes before the disaster occurred. The incident, which happened around 6:40 PM local time, sent shockwaves across Thailand and beyond, as social media flooded with messages of panic, prayer, and disbelief.
“He was just here,” one witness told reporters, trembling. “He had parked his car, took a call, and then — the building came down. After that, we couldn’t reach him anymore.”
As of midnight, rescue teams are still digging through the wreckage while the nation holds its breath.
The Collapse That No One Saw Coming
The tragic event unfolded at the Ladprao Sky Residence, a 25-story apartment complex located in central Bangkok. The building reportedly began to shake violently before part of the structure caved in, sending a cloud of debris and glass raining down on nearby streets.
Witnesses described a horrifying scene — alarms blaring, people screaming, and cars swerving to escape the falling debris. Within seconds, the upper floors crumbled, and a thick haze of dust engulfed the area.
Emergency response teams were on the scene within minutes, but the chaos was overwhelming. Roads were blocked, communications jammed, and electricity cut off.
Among the list of missing persons, authorities confirmed one name that sent the entertainment world into disbelief: Mark Prin Suparat.
The Last Call
Sources close to the family revealed that Mark had been on his way home after attending a short charity meeting in downtown Bangkok. He had called his wife, Kimmy Kimberley, just 20 minutes before the collapse, telling her he was “almost home.”
That was the last time anyone heard his voice.
“She tried to call him right after she saw the news alert,” said a family friend. “The call went through once… then silence. After that, nothing.”
Kimmy reportedly rushed to the site immediately upon hearing the news, accompanied by her brother and close relatives. Witnesses at the scene described her arrival as “heartbreaking.”
“She kept asking rescue workers if they had seen a man in a white shirt and brown jacket,” said one volunteer. “She wouldn’t stop looking, even when officials asked her to move back.”
Family’s Tearful Statement
At 10:30 PM, Kimmy’s family released a short and emotional statement through their management team:
“We are praying with all our hearts. Mark was near the site, and we have lost contact with him. Search teams are doing everything they can. Please continue to pray.”
Fans across Thailand responded instantly, flooding social media with messages of support under the hashtag #PrayForMarkPrin and #StayStrongKimmy.
Within an hour, the hashtags reached over 12 million posts, making it one of the most trending topics globally.
Search and Rescue Operations Intensify
By midnight, rescue crews had managed to pull 17 survivors from the debris, but dozens remained unaccounted for. Drones equipped with infrared scanners were deployed to locate trapped individuals.
Authorities confirmed that part of the parking garage collapsed first, triggering a chain reaction that weakened the main structure. Engineers on-site believe the cause could be a foundation failure aggravated by recent heavy rainfall.
Fire Chief Prachaya Rattanakul told reporters:
“We’re working against time. There are signs of life under the rubble, but we must proceed carefully to avoid triggering further collapse.”
When asked specifically about Mark Prin, the Chief said only:
“We are aware of his presence on site. Our teams are prioritizing all possible leads.”
Fans in Tears
As news spread, thousands of fans gathered outside the hospital and the collapsed building’s perimeter, holding candles and photos of the couple.
“They’ve always been our favorite,” said a young fan sobbing near the barricade. “They were planning their anniversary next month. This can’t be real.”
Kimmy and Mark, who married in 2023, have long been one of Thailand’s most beloved celebrity couples. Their love story — from co-stars to life partners — captured hearts across Asia.
Videos of their wedding, once symbols of happiness and unity, are now being replayed by grieving fans, who refuse to accept what might have happened.
Colleagues Speak Out
Dozens of celebrities and colleagues have taken to social media to express their heartbreak and prayers.
Actor Nadech Kugimiya, Mark’s longtime friend, wrote:
“You’re strong, brother. We’re waiting for you. Everyone is waiting.”
Thai actress Yaya Urassaya, who has often worked with Kimmy, posted a black heart emoji and the message:
“Please, God, bring him back to her.”
International stars like Lisa (BLACKPINK) and Mario Maurer also sent messages of support, urging fans to keep hope alive.
Kimmy’s Silence
Since the initial family statement, Kimmy Kimberley herself has remained silent. Photographs captured her at the site, her face pale, eyes swollen from tears, holding Mark’s phone — reportedly retrieved from the rubble by rescue workers.
According to one report, Kimmy refused to leave until she personally saw the search continue.
“She’s exhausted, emotionally and physically,” said a family spokesperson. “But she insists on staying. She keeps saying, ‘He’s here somewhere — he’s waiting for me.’”
Her heartbreaking determination has touched millions online, with fans calling her “the embodiment of love and faith.”
Conflicting Reports Emerge
Late-night updates from local media have sparked confusion. Some outlets claim that Mark’s vehicle was found just two blocks from the site, while others report that a man matching his description was seen helping evacuate victims before vanishing into the chaos.
Officials have yet to confirm either account.
A senior investigator told NN:
“We are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby streets. There are many conflicting testimonies. We will not declare anything until we are certain.”
A Nation Holds Its Breath
Across Thailand, vigils are being held in temples, parks, and city squares. Images of Mark and Kimmy together — smiling, laughing, holding hands — now fill television screens and online feeds.
For a country that watched their romance blossom in public, tonight feels deeply personal.
“They symbolized love and hope,” one journalist said softly. “Now, that love is being tested in the most painful way.”
The Unanswered Question
As rescue operations continue into the early hours, one haunting question hangs heavy in the air: Where is Mark Prin?
Authorities refuse to give up, and neither does his wife.
The world watches as cranes lift debris and floodlights illuminate the wreckage. Every second counts. Every sound of metal scraping against concrete brings a spark of hope.
Kimmy’s final whispered words to reporters before being escorted away said it all:
“He promised he’d be home by seven.”
