Thailand Tightens Airport Screening Amid Afghanistan Health Alert
On October 9, 2024, Dr. Phanumas Yanwetsakul, Director-General of the Department of Disease Control (DDC) under Thailand's Ministry of Public Health, announced that the country is enhancing health screening measures at all major airports. This decision follows reports of an outbreak of an unidentified illness in Afghanistan, where over 500 people have been infected and two have died. Symptoms include severe fatigue, muscle pain, diarrhea, and high fever. The DDC has instructed the Bureau of International Communicable Disease Control and Quarantine to closely monitor the situation. Airline staff on flights from affected regions are advised to wear masks and gloves while serving food and cleaning restrooms. Crews are also encouraged to watch for symptoms among themselves and passengers. At Thailand’s primary airports, including Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, U-Tapao, and Hat Yai, heightened screening will focus on travelers arriving from Afghanistan. Anyone showing symptoms, such as a high fever or other signs related to the illness, will undergo additional screening at international communicable disease control checkpoints. Dr. Phanumas emphasized that these measures aim to prevent any potential spread of the disease into Thailand. The DDC will continue to assess and respond to the evolving situation to protect public health, reported Siam Rath. Picture courtesy: Siam Rath -- 2024-10-10 -

Pattaya Enhances Safety Measures with Realistic Fire Drill on School Buses
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.

CNG and LPG vehicles face crackdown after tragic school bus fire
But the problem is these vehicles had seemingly been inspected or had paid people to say they had when they hadn't. All to save time as time is money to these bus companies , just look at the amount of crashes there are due to drivers being exhausted or on drugs to stay awake for all the hours they are required to drive . Like most things here it will be all show and look what we are doing to fix things for a month or two and then after that it will all be an afterthought until something major happens again.- 1
