Health Ceiling Collapses at Rural Hospital After Heavy Rain Amidst Ongoing Budget Crisis
UPDATE Ceiling Collapse at Bung Khla Hospital Sparks Urgent Repairs Pictures courtesy of Matichon. Local health authorities have confirmed that emergency repairs are underway at Bung Khla Hospital, following a ceiling collapse caused by heavy rainfall. The incident occurred after persistent downpours on 5 July, which overwhelmed the building’s inadequate drainage system. The collapse affected the Emergency Room (ER) and Dental Department, prompting temporary suspension of dental services. However, all patients and medical staff were unharmed and emergency services have already resumed. Dr Phamon Darun, Chief of the Bueng Kan Provincial Public Health Office, visited the hospital on 7 July alongside Deputy Chief Dr Surapong Laksawut to assess the damage. Their inspection revealed that the ceiling failure resulted from rainwater overflow due to undersized drainage outlets, around the hospital’s two-storey accident and emergency building. Water had seeped through structural cracks, weakening the ceiling panels. In addition to the poor drainage, Dr Phamon cited a lack of technical maintenance staff as a contributing factor to the incident. Despite this, he assured the public that repairs were not extensive and could be carried out with an estimated budget of less than 10,000 baht. Work on the ER ceiling has already begun. In terms of future improvements, the hospital plans to enlarge the rainwater drainage channels to prevent similar incidents during heavy rainfall. Dr Phamon stated that funding for this work would be coordinated with Bung Khla Hospital and other agencies. When asked whether public donations would be needed, Dr Phamon was clear: “There is no need for donations. The required funds are available.” Some dental equipment was damaged, including a dental drill and ultrasonic scaler, though the main dental unit remains operational. Replacement tools will be procured using provincial or central budgets if necessary. The Emergency Room has already reopened, and dental services are expected to resume on 8 July. Bung Khla Hospital is a small 30-bed community facility serving three subdistricts and 25 villages, with a population of around 14,000. The hospital has just one full-time doctor, Dr Chaiphruek Woraroemsakul, who also serves as the hospital director. It is supported by 23 nurses, with two additional doctors rotating monthly from other hospitals arranged by the provincial health office. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-07-08 -

Accident Teenager Killed in Motorbike Crash with SUV in Nonthaburi
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 16-year-old student intern lost his life after his motorcycle collided with an SUV that was turning into a petrol station in Bang Bua Thong District. The fatal crash occurred at the entrance of a petrol station in Soi Wat Lat Pla Duk, Bang Rak Phatthana Subdistrict. Officers from Bang Bua Thong Police Station and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation responded swiftly to the scene, along with a forensic medical team from the Institute of Forensic Medicine. The deceased, identified as Mr Chairat Khongmuang, was found lying next to his damaged black Yamaha GT motorbike, registration from Chaiyaphum. He was confirmed dead at the scene. The other vehicle involved was a black Isuzu SUV, registration from Bangkok, which showed damage to the front left section. Mr Chairat was reportedly on his way to his shift at a convenience store where he was completing an internship. His manager confirmed that he was a responsible trainee who was commuting to work at the time of the crash. According to the wife of the SUV driver, who was a passenger at the time, her husband had been driving from the direction of Soi Wat Lat Pla Duk. As they approached the petrol station, he signalled to turn. She claimed they began making the turn when the motorcycle approached at high speed, attempting to cut across the front of their vehicle. The collision occurred suddenly and with force. Police are currently investigating the incident. They have recorded statements from the SUV driver and collected evidence at the scene. CCTV footage from the area, as well as dashcam footage from the SUV, will be reviewed to establish the precise sequence of events. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-07-08 -
