The incident occurred on January 12, at 13:30 on Thepkrasattri Road, Thalang district. Dash-cam footage shared by Phuket Times captured the moment a white Hyundai Creta, cut in front of a motorbike while attempting to turn into a PT petrol station. The car collided with the motorbike, causing it to topple over. When the motorcyclist approached the car for accountability, the driver fled the scene, heading towards Thalang intersection and turning onto Don Chom Thao Road. The pursuit ended when local police from Cherng Talay Police Station intercepted the driver on Ban Don-Cherng Talay Road, where they detained him for further investigation at Thalang Police Station. The pursuit was led by Mr. Teerawut, a local motorcyclist, who witnessed the incident while riding with a friend. “I saw the car swerve and hit the bike, which was in the left lane. After the crash, I honked and called out for the car to stop, but the driver ignored me,” he explained. Deciding to take action, Teerawut and his friend chased the car for several kilometres. The driver even came close to hitting their motorcycle during the pursuit. “I knocked on the car window and shouted for him to stop, but he didn’t,” he added. The chase finally ended when the car became stuck in traffic, preventing further escape. While following the suspect, Teerawut contacted the police, who promptly arrived and arrested the driver. No details of the driver have been disclosed by authorities. After ensuring the driver was apprehended, Teerawut returned to check on the injured motorcyclist but found they had already gone to Thalang Hospital. Upon visiting the hospital, he learned the victim had either been discharged. The story quickly went viral after being posted online, with many netizens commending Teerawut’s bravery and sense of justice. Comments included: • “You’re a true hero! Wishing the motorcyclist a speedy recovery.” • “Phuket has become chaotic since the visa exemptions began. Foreign drivers need to respect our rules.” • “The authorities should crack down on reckless driving by foreigners and ensure stricter vehicle rental regulations.” -- 2025-01-13 ScreenRecording_01-13-2025 05-55-36_1.mp4

Picture from responders. A 76-year-old man narrowly escaped with his life after a fire destroyed his home in Ban Pho, Suphan Buri, Thailand. The blaze, which is believed to have been caused by an electrical short circuit, engulfed the elevated single-storey house in the late morning of January 12. The man’s quick actions saved his 23-year-old granddaughter. At approximately 09:00, Police Lieutenant Nikhom Khunsaat of Mueang Suphan Buri Police Station received reports of a fire at a residence in Ban Pho. Firefighters from local municipal teams and neighbouring districts rushed to the scene but faced significant challenges due to strong winds. Despite their efforts, the fire consumed the house in its entirety within 40 minutes. The property, which included two bedrooms, a kitchen, a storage room, and three motorbikes, was completely destroyed. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Mr Wichian, the 76-year-old homeowner, recalled that he had been frying eggs in the kitchen when he heard a loud “pop” sound, that he initially dismissed. Moments later, he heard another explosion and turned to see flames spreading rapidly across the electrical wires inside the house. Realising the severity of the situation, Mr Wichian shouted for his granddaughter, Ms Kalyanee, who was in her bedroom, unaware of the danger. “I tried to put out the fire with a pot of water, but it was spreading too fast,” said Mr Wichian. “I told my granddaughter to call for help while I alerted the neighbours.” Ms Kalyanee, who was preparing to graduate next month, managed to drag a gas cylinder from the kitchen to safety before the fire could reach it. “If my grandfather hadn’t called out to me, I might have been trapped and killed,” she said, adding that her graduation gown, which had been custom-made, was destroyed in the blaze. Mr Wirat Khamhomkun, Mayor of Ban Pho Municipality, coordinated fire-fighting efforts and pledged immediate support for the affected family. He noted that the strong winds and the home’s ageing wooden structure contributed to the rapid spread of the fire. “We urge residents to be vigilant, especially during the dry season. Electrical appliances should be turned off, and wiring systems checked regularly to prevent similar incidents,” the mayor advised. The family will receive financial assistance from local authorities, with compensation capped at 50,000 baht. Additional essential supplies will also be provided. The house, which was 50 years old, became a death trap in a matter of minutes. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of neglected electrical systems. While the family mourns the loss of their home, they are grateful for the quick thinking that saved two lives. “We lost everything, but we still have each other,” said Mr Wichian. -- 2025-01-13

Belgian Kitesurfer Dies in Pranburi After Being Swept onto Rocks A Belgian man lost his life on 12 January, while kitesurfing off Pranburi’s coastline. The victim, identified as Mr Brendan, 55, was swept onto rocks by powerful waves at Khao Kalok, located within the Thaokosa Forest Park in Pak Nam Pran, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

Picture from responders. A Belgian man lost his life on 12 January, while kitesurfing off Pranburi’s coastline. The victim, identified as Mr Brendan, 55, was swept onto rocks by powerful waves at Khao Kalok, located within the Thaokosa Forest Park in Pak Nam Pran, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Local police were alerted to the incident in the evening after the kitesurfer failed to return to shore. Emergency services, including rescue volunteers and forest park officials, responded swiftly, but the challenging weather conditions, including high tides and strong waves, made the rescue operation extremely hazardous. Efforts were hampered further by the inability to locate the victim immediately. With assistance from a drone, rescuers located the victim’s body approximately 3–4 metres deep in a rocky crevice. The man, wearing an orange t-shirt and blue shorts, was found lying face down and was believed to have been in the same position for over two hours. However, rescue teams were unable to retrieve the body immediately due to rough seas and the rising tide. As night approached and the tide receded, rescuers launched a rubber boat to retrieve the body despite the high-risk conditions. Volunteers faced significant challenges, with many suffering injuries from sharp rocks and shells during the operation. Ultimately, they successfully recovered the deceased and brought him ashore. The victim’s Thai girlfriend and mother were present at the scene and were visibly distraught as they saw the lifeless body. Rescue volunteer Promsingh Singhaseni, who assisted in the operation, explained the difficulties posed by the weather. “The strong waves made it impossible to approach the area on foot. Under normal circumstances, we would use ropes to access such crevices, but today’s conditions were exceptionally dangerous.” Fellow rescuer Polarap Meesaming described the scene, saying, “The body was located on a higher rock ledge. Blood was visible running down into the sea. He had severe injuries to his head and face, likely caused by being slammed against the rocks.” Prior to the incident, Thailand’s Meteorological Department had issued warnings of heavy rain and strong winds in the Gulf of Thailand, with waves reaching 2–4 metres. Red flags were placed along the shore, prohibiting swimming and water sports. Despite these warnings, the fatal incident occurred. Authorities continue to urge the public to heed weather alerts and safety warnings to prevent further tragedies. -- 2025-01-13

Rescue workers provided first aid before transporting him to Bang Lamung Hospital for urgent medical care. Police found the suspect, Mr Sathaporn, 35, the victim's stepson, waiting in the room. He had a bleeding wound on his head. Mr Sathaporn admitted to the attack, explaining that it was a reaction to his stepfather striking him on the head with a soup bowl during an argument. According to Mr Sathaporn, the two frequently clashed due to his resentment of Mr Krissana's dependence on his mother. The dispute escalated after a heated argument about frying eggs turned physical, culminating in Mr Sathaporn grabbing a knife and stabbing his stepfather in a fit of rage.

Picture from responders. A foreign national tragically died after jumping from the 23rd floor of a high-rise office building in central Bangkok on 12 January. The incident occurred at approximately 17:30 in the Phaya Thai district, next to a renowned school grounds. Authorities responded promptly to reports of a person jumping from a building located on Sri Ayutthaya 10 Road. The police, along with medical staff from Ramathibodi Hospital and rescue workers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, arrived at the scene and found the body of a man, estimated to be around 50 years old, lying lifeless within the grounds of the school. The victim, dressed in a red long-sleeve shirt and black jeans, appeared to have fallen from a significant height. Upon closer examination, the victim’s right leg had been severed, landing in the alley outside the school grounds. A subsequent search of the body revealed personal belongings, including a phone, a power bank, a packet of cannabis, and a grinder. These items were collected by authorities for further investigation. Security footage revealed that the foreign man entered the building at 16:30, accessing the elevator to the 22nd floor. From there, he climbed the stairs to the rooftop of the 23rd floor, where it is believed he jumped. The building, which houses offices for rent, was largely unoccupied at the time, with maintenance workers performing repairs on the premises. The security guards on duty were unaware of the man’s presence inside the building as they were focused on supervising the maintenance work. According to security staff, the building is usually closed on weekends and public holidays, which may have provided the man with the opportunity to enter unnoticed. The victim reportedly took advantage of a lapse in security, entering the building unnoticed and making his way to the top floor before jumping to his death. At present, authorities have been unable to confirm the identity of the deceased individual. Investigators are still working to gather information and are seeking to locate any family members or witnesses who may help clarify the circumstances leading to the tragedy. They are also in the process of reviewing additional CCTV footage from both inside and around the building to gather further evidence. The police have stated that the investigation is ongoing and that they are working closely with building management to obtain all relevant footage and further documentation. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. -- 2025-01-13
