  3. A 33-year-old man, under the influence of methamphetamine and homemade liquor, set his own house ablaze in Lopburi. When questioned, he stated indifferently that there were plenty of places to sleep. At 11:00 on October 9, Pol. Lt. Col. Waree Soisonsa of the Muang Lopburi Police Station received a report of a man in a drug-induced frenzy who had set his house on fire in the Thongphet Community, Nong Muen Village, Khao Sam Yot Subdistrict, Lopburi. Officers, including Pol. Lt. Chanint Janwimol, crime prevention inspector at Muang Lopburi Police Station, and fire units were quickly dispatched to the scene. Firefighters extinguished the fire, but the wooden house was completely destroyed, leaving only the foundations. Mr. Teerayot (surname withheld), the 33-year-old homeowner, was found pacing around the scene with a bottle of homemade liquor in hand. Neighbours pointed him out as the arsonist. Appearing agitated and incoherent, he admitted to setting the fire, saying he was tired of living indoors and that there were many other places he could sleep. Initially, the police observed Mr. Teerayot as he appeared to calm down. When they attempted to arrest him, however, he resisted, demanding to eat and smoke a cigarette before complying. The officers, having given him ample time, refused his requests. Angered by the refusal, Mr. Teerayot attempted to flee. Police surrounded and subdued him after a brief struggle. He was later placed in custody, cursing the officers. Mr. Teerayot’s 65-year-old mother, Mrs. Jumpee, revealed that her son had a history of violent behavior fueled by alcohol and drugs. He had previously served time for assault and illegal possession of a firearm. After his release, he fell in with a group of methamphetamine users in the village, becoming addicted to both alcohol and drugs. According to Mrs. Jumpee, her son often became violent when intoxicated, shouting loudly and threatening to burn down his own home and those of relatives. She added that the entire neighbourhood lived in fear of his outbursts. Mrs. Jumpee expressed hope that her son would be placed in rehabilitation or face long-term imprisonment, stating that she did not regret the loss of her son’s freedom as long as it ensured the safety of others. The police have charged Mr. Teerayot with possession and use of a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine), with further charges related to arson pending investigation.

  6. In a bid to continuously improve safety standards, Pattaya authorities conducted a comprehensive fire safety drill on school buses, simulating a realistic fire emergency. The exercise aimed to prepare drivers, school staff, and students for potential fire incidents and ensure that everyone knows how to respond swiftly and effectively. The drill, organised in collaboration with the Pattaya City Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, local fire departments, and school authorities, was held at a designated training area with specially equipped school buses. The exercise simulated a situation where a fire breaks out while the bus is in transit, a scenario that could pose significant dangers to students if not handled correctly. Mr. Pisit Udomrangsee, the Chief of Pattaya Disaster Prevention, emphasised the importance of this proactive approach. “Our goal is to ensure that everyone involved in school transportation—from drivers to students—knows exactly what to do in the event of a fire. Preparedness and practice are key in minimising injuries and saving lives during such emergencies,” he said. During the drill, students were taught how to safely evacuate a bus in the event of a fire. Firefighters demonstrated the proper use of fire extinguishers and how to open emergency exits. Drivers were also instructed on how to assess a fire’s severity and take the necessary steps to keep students safe while waiting for emergency services. The simulation included the controlled use of smoke to create a realistic atmosphere, testing the ability of bus personnel to maintain calm and guide students to safety under pressure. The drill also tested response times for local firefighters and medical teams, who arrived at the scene and performed mock rescues to ensure the city’s emergency services can respond swiftly. Safety drills such as these are a critical component of Pattaya’s ongoing efforts to enhance public safety, especially for vulnerable groups such as schoolchildren.. “We are committed to keeping our children safe, and this drill is a part of a larger initiative to improve school safety. From fire prevention to traffic safety, we want to ensure that our schools and transport systems are equipped to handle any situation,” said Pattaya City Mayor’s Office. The city plans to continue these safety drills regularly and will extend them to other public transport systems in the near future. This proactive stance aims to build a culture of safety awareness, ensuring that both students and the broader community are well-prepared in case of emergencies. Parents, who were invited to observe the drill, expressed their appreciation for the city’s efforts. “It’s reassuring to know that the authorities are taking such comprehensive steps to ensure the safety of our children,” one parent commented.

  10. The incident occurred on October 9 when an 8-year-old boy drowned while playing with friends at a water overflow weir near the Phanthumrat Bridge in Klong Lan District, Kamphaeng Phet. The boy, identified as a student from a local community school, was playing near the water when he accidentally fell in. According to police reports, the incident happened around 15.00 when the boy and three friends were playing near the edge of the weir. Witnesses described how the boy slipped and fell into the rapidly flowing water, which was notably deeper than one metre due to recent heavy rainfall in the area. The swift current created a dangerous whirlpool that made it impossible for him to resurface. Upon realising their friend was missing, the other children quickly ran to nearby adults at a food stall for help. However, the strong current made it too risky for anyone to enter the water. They then called emergency services for assistance. Responders from the Klong Lan Subdistrict and the Kamphaeng Phet Volunteer Rescue Foundation swiftly mobilized over 20 volunteers and divers to the scene. The area, which serves as a local flood control structure, was crowded with onlookers as rescue efforts commenced. After approximately one hour of searching, the rescue team located the boy’s body. The atmosphere was filled with sorrow as the child’s mother and relatives were present, grieving at the sight of the recovery. Local authorities conducted a preliminary investigation and reiterated warnings to the community about the dangers of playing in or near hazardous water areas, especially during heavy rains. They urged parents to keep their children away from risky water sites to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The boy’s body was taken to Klong Lan Hospital for an autopsy before being released to his family. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-10
  11. The incident occurred at Prasat Bus Station in Surin province on October 9, when a young bus attendant fell from a moving vehicle and was fatally crushed by the bus’s wheels. At around 18:25 local reporters were alerted to the incident involving a double-decker air-conditioned bus on the Rayong-Mukdahan route.

  14. A tragic incident unfolded in Pattaya when a 32-year-old PR woman took her own life after being deceived in an online jade auction, resulting in a loss of 50,000 baht. Despite efforts by her boyfriend to comfort and support her, she ultimately succumbed to her overwhelming stress. On the night of October 8, the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Centre in Pattaya received an urgent call about a woman who had attempted suicide by hanging at a residence in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. The rescue team immediately coordinated with the Nong Prue police and rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, the team found Mr. Somchai (name changed), 39, the woman’s boyfriend, in a state of deep distress. He had discovered his girlfriend, Ms. Niphaporn (surname withheld), unconscious after using a pillowcase to hang herself from the iron bars of their bedroom window. Mr. Somchai had taken her down before rescuers arrived, and the emergency team quickly attempted CPR to revive her. Unfortunately, Ms. Niphaporn passed away shortly after, leaving her family in profound grief, with relatives collapsing in tears at the scene. In his statement, Mr. Somchai explained that his girlfriend had been under intense stress after falling victim to an online jade auction scam, where she lost more than 50,000 baht. Adding to her distress, she was battling depression and was on medication for substance abuse recovery. He had tried to reassure her, promising to help recover the lost money, but the emotional toll proved too much for her to bear. Late that night, Mr. Somchai entered the bedroom and was horrified to find his girlfriend had hung herself. He immediately intervened and called the rescue team for help, but despite their best efforts, they could not save her. Police Lieutenant Yatthiphong Chiamphuak from Nong Prue Police Station has ordered that Ms. Niphaporn’s body be transferred to Bang Lamung Hospital for storage and sent for an autopsy at the Police General Hospital’s forensic institute. Family members have been summoned for questioning to assist in the investigation.

There have been no reports of injuries or casualties at this time, though officials are monitoring the situation closely. Firefighting teams from surrounding districts have been called in for support to stop the spread to any neighbouring residential properties.
