Pol. Capt. Thapapon Paengphimlo, an investigator from Patong Police Station, received a report from a local jet ski rental operator about the incident. Lifeguards stationed at Patong Beach quickly rescued the injured man from the sea and brought him ashore. Emergency medical responders from Patong Municipality and the Kusoldharm Foundation attempted to revive him at the scene before transferring him to Patong Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The deceased was identified as Mr. Liu Hong Chao, 33, a Chinese national. The collision occurred roughly 200 metres from the shore in Patong Bay. According to the investigation, Mr. Liu’s jet ski collided with another jet ski operated by his friend, Mr. Lyu Zhifeng, 28, also a Chinese national. Lifeguards interviewed Mr. Lyu, who confirmed the collision, which left Mr. Liu critically injured. Officers inspected both jet skis involved in the accident, documenting visible damage as evidence. Pol. Col. Chaloemchai Hoernsawat, Chief of Patong Police Station, and Pol. Lt. Wichet Suwannano, Deputy Inspector, inspected the scene alongside medical examiners from Patong Hospital. A detailed examination of the crash site and the jet skis is underway to determine the circumstances leading to the accident. Chalermpong Saengdee, Member of Parliament for Phuket’s District 2, who was in the area to review safety, expressed his condolences over the incident and emphasised the urgent need for stricter safety measures for water sports activities. He stressed the importance of increasing oversight and regulation by local authorities, including the Phuket Marine Office, the Marine Police, the local police, and tourism operators offering water-related activities. Mr Saengdee called for thorough briefings to be given to tourists renting jet skis, particularly highlighting the dangers and safety protocols of operating such equipment in public waters. He pointed out that incidents like this one, where a tourist was killed in a jet ski collision, highlight the need for better communication between service providers and tourists. In addition, Mr Saengdee referred to another recent tragic event on 5 January, when a parasailing instructor fell to his death at Karon Beach. He further suggested that water sports operators must provide tourists with comprehensive information and ensure they understand safety precautions before participating in activities. He emphasised the importance of wearing life jackets and having insurance, as well as essential safety measures, particularly for tourists engaging in water activities. This would help cover any unexpected accidents or mishaps, offering a layer of protection for those using water sports equipment. The MP also expressed concern over the growing number of water-related incidents in the region, which could impact Phuket’s tourism industry. He mentioned a recent incident where a boat capsized near Racha Island, causing panic among 38 tourists and crew members. Mr Saengdee called on the relevant authorities, including the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, to clarify the safety measures in place and ensure that Phuket is ready to safeguard the wellbeing of tourists while maintaining its reputation as a premier tourist destination in Thailand. -- 2025-01-15

A different problem occurred on January 12, at Wat Pradu Lai crematorium in Klong Mae Lai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kamphaeng Phet Province, at the funeral of Mr. Wiwat, a 36-year-old man weighing 300kg. Due to his unusually large size, both in weight and build, the cremation process presented numerous difficulties, requiring the assistance of many people. Mr. Wiwat passed away on January 10, from multiple complications, including kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, and high blood sugar. He had been admitted to Kamphaeng Phet Hospital on January 9 with severe breathing difficulties after being transported by a local rescue team. The body, wrapped in a white shroud as it could not fit into a traditional coffin, was carried by several villagers and crematorium workers. Following traditional rituals, the body was paraded around the crematorium before attempts were made to place it inside the furnace. Despite numerous efforts using iron bars and wooden poles, the task remained unsuccessful even after more than an hour of pushing, as the body would not pass through the opening. The turning point came when Mr. Somnuk, the deceased’s 59-year-old father, spoke emotionally to his son: “Golf, please go in. Your father and everyone else are tired.” Soon after, the body began to inch into the furnace, finally fitting entirely. The ceremony continued amid astonishment and murmurs from attendees, many of whom remarked they had never witnessed such a challenging cremation before. Mr. Somnuk expressed his gratitude to community leaders and villagers for their assistance, recounting the hardships faced in both caring for his son during his illness and conducting the funeral. He explained that even transporting his son to the hospital required a specialised vehicle due to his size. -- 2025-01-14

Picture from responders. A fire broke out on the afternoon of 13 January in a densely populated wooden housing community located in Soi Pioneer, Bang Chalong subdistrict, Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan, Thailand. The inferno, which started in a single home, quickly spread to neighbouring properties, leaving one woman dead and destroying at least 10 homes. The blaze originated in the home of the deceased, a 49-year-old woman with a history of mental illness, who was unable to escape in time. Her body was discovered among the charred remains of her house once the fire was extinguished. As the fire spread rapidly, residents, including a mix of locals and migrant workers, scrambled to evacuate and rescue belongings. In a dramatic scene, over 20 Myanmar and Thai residents united to push a pickup truck out of a garage as flames encroached, managing to save it with their bare hands. Firefighters from Bang Chalong Municipality deployed nearly 10 fire engines to combat the flames, working alongside emergency response teams. After an hour and a half of effort, they succeeded in bringing the blaze under control, preventing further destruction. Among the victims was Ms. On Insombat, who broke down in tears as she recounted her losses. Her home, along with valuable possessions, religious amulets, professional tools, and important documents, was reduced to ashes while she was at work. Similarly, Ms. Lamjuan Janon, a vegetable vendor, lost her home and belongings, including clothes, bedding, and cash savings of over 60,000 baht that she had set aside to repay debts. Mr. Cho-um Tangsofa, the Mayor of Bang Chalong Municipality, reported that 10 homes, including rented rooms, were affected by the fire. Temporary shelters have been established at Wat Bang Chalong Nai temple, with provisions for food, clothing, and bedding underway. Authorities are also surveying the damage and coordinating relief efforts for affected families. Police Colonel Phairoj Phetploy, Superintendent of Bang Phli Police Station, stated that the fire started in the deceased woman’s home, where she lived alone. While the exact cause remains undetermined, initial investigations suggest it could have been triggered by an electrical short circuit. Officials are awaiting forensic results and have instructed investigators to interview witnesses and relevant parties to uncover further details. -- 2025-01-14
