A community in Sikhoraphum district, Surin, is mourning the loss of a 15-year-old girl electrocuted by her phone charger while she slept. The incident occurred on March 7, with police reporting burn marks from the charger cord on her body.
Alerted by headman Supee Sombat, Sergeant Den Wanyang and the Pak Mai patrol discovered the tragedy at 5.30am. An autopsy conducted with Sikhoraphum Hospital doctors is underway to determine the exact cause.
Images from the scene showed an extension cord with a USB Type C cable, plugged in without an adapter—highlighted as a potential hazard by Facebook user Chang Tu MDS2Sound Surin. He warned that short circuits in USB chargers can result from malfunctions in the high-voltage system, allowing electricity to ground through the USB cable.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion on electrical safety, with advice against using devices while charging. Parents are urged to be vigilant, as electric shocks can lead to bleeding, swelling, and severe muscle contractions.
Experts emphasize the importance of proper home safety systems to prevent such tragedies. High-voltage currents can damage tissues, leading to bleeding, while severe shocks can cause muscle tears. Moreover, burns from electrical currents can result in blistering.
Communities are rallying to support the bereaved family, with Sergeant Wanyang extending condolences and hoping this serves as a crucial reminder for electrical safety precautions, reported The Thaiger.
The picture is not showing an USB-C cable.

This is bad news for some of my online students in Myanmar. Due to the international bandwidth restrictions imposed by the junta, for an online video/audio lesson. one needs to use an application that uses a minimal bandwidth as possible.
Skype meets that requirement. Zoom and Voov require more bandwidth, and ClassIn is unbelievably greedy/wasteful of bandwidth (I know - I've done tests on all these apps...)
Maybe try out Signal?

Can't use Line to call landlines or mobiles.
Kinda explains why Skype stopped the top up option, subscription only until they close
As far I can see you can use line for landline calls only if you have a subscription. Is that not correct?

very sad, but a lesson to us all, don;t ride beyond your capabilities, will be interesting to see whether alcohol + speed played a part, or just a lack of ability to ride an ATV, let's assume for now alcohol didn;t.
ATV's are notorious for accidents for inexperienced riders.
You think there will be a follow up with the real reason for the accident? In that case that will be the first..

Since my settlement here in early 2000s, I have travelled almost countless times, by long distance coaches.
Especially during my visa run/repeat tourist visa application period, before 2012.
The most shocking sight I have ever seen during that period was, one bus(in a overturned state) laid on the steep slope outside narrow passage. Looked like native vegetation(tall trees) stopped it from further fall.
And that spot was only less than 30 minutes from Udon Thani(if my memory is correct).
I now feel it was sheer luck that I could stay safe and alive, without any major incidents; other than occasional a/c breakdown, or a few hours of delay in their operation...
I have also noted the road fences in Thailand having this shape that makes it possible for vehicles to go over it with high speed/pressure.

"When Naree entered a hotel room and accepted the money, she was arrested"
Did Naree entered the hotel room draped with a towel?
Maybe Naree took a shower outside the hotel room first?
Confusing ....Maybe the officer tested the goods first?

A devastated mother is demanding justice after her three year old son was viciously attacked by a Bangkaew dog in the Kapoe district of Ranong, leaving him with a severe head injury.
The shocking incident occurred on February 1 while little Thanawat Makmun was playing outside his home. Without warning, the dog, owned by local Pramote Sae-lo, lunged at the child, biting his head and ear before fleeing.
His mother, Rungthiva Rueang-on, rushed him to Kapoe Hospital, where he received urgent treatment. The next day, she filed a police complaint, calling for legal action against the dog’s owner.
“About nine children were playing outside when the dog ran up and bit my son from behind. I immediately rushed him to the hospital but the dog owner did nothing to help.”
After confronting the owner’s family, they initially agreed to cover medical costs, offering 10,000 baht. However, Rungthiva demanded 50,000 baht, citing the severity of her son’s injuries, but the family refused.
“My child suffered a serious injury. He had to get stitches, and now he is terrified at night.”
With no resolution reached, she has now turned to a lawyer for further legal action.
Phuket-based lawyer Yarak Phethin, assisting the family, stressed that dog owners can face up to two years in prison under the Criminal Code if their pet causes harm due to negligence, reported The Phuket News.
As police continue their investigation, Rungthiva is urging dog owners to secure their pets properly.
“My son was badly hurt but what if it’s worse next time?”
Tired of reading about this never ending dangerous-dogs stories as nothing ever will be done to change the situation/problem in Thailand.

There is a Thai language facebook group for Hua Hin and the Thais are talking about this in Hua Hin - they are outraged.
People are naming companies in direct messages.It's not an agent - it's one of these situation where you buy from the developer. Best to avoid agents in such situations as they can charge outrageous fees which can be avoided by simply going direct to the sales office on the site.
I see, ok thanks.

I wonder who the realestate agent is?

Quality maintenance no doubt
I wonder if original brake pads and other spare parts are used or cheap and ineffective copies? There is a huge production in certain countries (ex. Turkey) for copies. Especially brake pads that are not upto correct stadard.

In a recent survey conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA), a significant portion of Bangkok's residents expressed dissatisfaction with the efforts of state agencies in managing the capital's persistent PM2.5 pollution crisis. This pressing environmental issue has seen growing public concern over government actions and their efficacy.
The poll, aimed at gauging public perception, highlighted that a hefty 76.49% of respondents rated the government’s handling of the PM2.5 pollution as less than efficient. Specifically, 41.15% found the efforts to be somewhat inefficient, while 35.34% considered them completely inefficient. Only 3.13% of those surveyed felt the interventions were very efficient, indicating widespread public discontent.
Despite the government's initiative of offering free public transport for a week in a bid to mitigate pollution levels, the measure appears to have fallen flat with the populace. A substantial 68.78% of participants opined that this initiative had little to no impact on reducing PM2.5 levels, with only 6.72% acknowledging a significant benefit.
The response from City Hall, which included closing educational institutions and promoting remote work among private and public sector employees, received mixed reactions. While some 34.89% believed these moves were somewhat helpful, a closer look revealed scepticism: 33.21% thought they did very little, and 24.50% said they were ineffective.
When queried about which government entity should take the lead in battling Bangkok's ultrafine dust woes, the Pollution Control Department was favoured by 41.15% of respondents. Other bodies, like the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation, also featured prominently in public expectations.
Interestingly, 17.56% of those surveyed expressed a lack of faith in any government agency to effectively combat the pollution problem, reflecting a growing frustration that underscores the urgent need for more impactful solutions.
The comprehensive survey, carried out via telephone interviews with 1,310 individuals aged 18 and above, encapsulates a broad spectrum of Bangkok’s demographic fabric, spanning diverse educational, income, and occupational backgrounds.
This growing public perception serves as a clarion call for the Thai government and related bodies to reassess their strategies and enhance their response to one of the city’s most pressing environmental challenges. With the economic impact tied to the health implications of pollution, the urgency for effective measures becomes increasingly critical as residents seek relief from the choking haze, reported Bangkok Post.
