Samut Prakan: Woman Dies in House Fire, Niece Escapes by Jumping from Window
Pictures from responders. A fire in Samut Prakan claimed the life of a 47-year-old woman while her 12-year-old niece managed a harrowing escape by leaping from a second-storey window. The incident occurred at around 10:30 on 6 April in Soi Chumchon Bang Ping, off Srinakarin Road, in Bang Mueang subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Suphawit Keerirat, an investigator from Mueang Samut Prakan Police Station, received reports of a house fire and immediately coordinated with local fire services from the Bang Mueang Municipality. Upon arrival, firefighters found a two-storey home, partly concrete and partly wooden, engulfed in flames. Large quantities of stored recyclable materials and household items outside the house had caught fire and fuelled the blaze, which rapidly spread into the main structure. Fire crews battled the inferno for more than 30 minutes before managing to contain it. After the flames were extinguished, authorities discovered the charred body of Ms. Sumalee 47, near the staircase on the second floor. Her body showed extensive burns. According to her 12-year-old niece, four people lived in the house, but her mother and grandfather had gone out to work that morning. The girl had been sleeping upstairs with her aunt when she awoke to the smell of smoke. Upon investigation, she found that a pile of recycled rubbish stored outside had caught fire. She alerted her aunt, urging her to escape. However, her aunt, who was reportedly unwell and suffering from muscular weakness, initially dismissed the blaze as a minor grass fire. Moments later, as the flames surged through the house and blocked the front exit, the girl made the desperate decision to jump from a second-floor window to safety. Her aunt tried to escape, but the fire had already spread too far. Neighbours reported hearing her screams for help, but no one could reach her due to the intensity of the blaze. Within minutes, her voice fell silent. A local bus driver, who had been repairing his vehicle across the street, said he heard an explosion and came outside to witness the fire raging through the home. He also heard Ms. Sumalee’s cries for help but was unable to assist due to the ferocity of the flames. The niece speculated that the fire may have started from a mosquito coil that her aunt had lit and then discarded from the upper floor, possibly still smouldering when it landed in the pile of rubbish. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the fire. Forensic investigators have been called to examine the scene and determine the official cause of the blaze. -- 2025-04-07 -

Heroic Seven-Year-Old Drowns After Saving Younger Friend from Large Pond
Picture from responders. A seven-year-old boy has drowned after heroically rescuing his five-year-old friend from drowning in a deep pond in Sri Narong District, Surin Province. On the afternoon of 5 April, emergency services from the Surin New Disaster Relief Association, along with divers from the VR Rescue Unit, Tadan Rescue Unit, and Sawang Sa Sia Gong Rescue Team, were called to assist in the search for the missing child near a recently dredged pond in Ban Nong Thep village, Narong Subdistrict. The pond, approximately one rai in size and 10 to 15 metres deep, is located about 500 metres from the boy’s home. Divers searched for about 30 minutes before recovering the body approximately 10 metres from the edge of the pond. The boy was identified as Nonthaphat, known affectionately as “Ole,” a student at Ban Lamong School in Sri Narong. According to the account given by the five-year-old survivor, Asawin, the boys had been playing marbles earlier in the day before deciding to go fishing at the pond. After setting their fishing lines, the trio jumped into the water to play. They attempted to swim towards a wooden pole in the middle of the pond when Asawin began to struggle and called for help. Ole swam to his aid, allowing the younger boy to climb onto his back, successfully saving him. However, Ole then disappeared beneath the surface and did not resurface. Ole’s 59-year-old grandmother, Mrs. Saraniang, who had raised him since his parents separated, shared her grief and heartbreak. She explained that the children sometimes sneaked off to swim, and she would usually follow to scold them. On this occasion, she was unwell and had gone to the local hospital. After returning and resting, she was informed that her grandson had drowned. Local villagers and emergency responders mourn the selfless bravery of young Ole, whose final act was one of pure courage and love. -- 2025-04-07
