Accident Man Saves One Girl as Another Drowns in Front of Him
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A family seaside outing turned to tragedy yesterday when two young girls were swept out to sea at Thung Wua Laen Beach in Chumphon province. Despite a heroic rescue attempt by a newlywed holidaymaker, only one child could be saved. The incident occurred at approximately 17:00 on 3 May. Police Lieutenant Worut Somsong, an investigator with Pathio Police Station, received reports of two children drowning at the popular beach in Saphli subdistrict. Emergency rescue teams from the Salachon Rescue Unit and Chumphon Charity Foundation rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, rescuers found one of the girls, 12-year-old Napaporn from Ranong province, semi-conscious after being pulled from the water. She was immediately taken to Chumphon Khet Udomsak Hospital for urgent treatment. The second girl, identified as 12-year-old Suchada from Kamphaeng Phet, could not be revived despite prolonged CPR efforts and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body has been recovered approximately 200 metres from shore. The would-be rescuer, 29-year-old Phongsakorn Sriphet, had been holidaying at the beach with his wife, brother-in-law, and nephew, celebrating his recent wedding. He described how he saw the two girls playing in the water nearby before noticing that one had vanished. Moments later, the second girl also disappeared beneath the surface, prompting screams for help. Without hesitation, Phongsakorn dashed into the sea to reach them. “I didn’t think about anything else, I just knew I had to try to save them,” he said. “I was only able to reach one in time. The other girl drifted away and went under right before my eyes. It’s something I’ll never forget.” His wife, a nurse at Lamphun Hospital, administered first aid to Napaporn with the help of other tourists trained in emergency response until professional rescuers arrived. Eyewitnesses expressed concern over the lack of safety measures at the beach. Kachonsak Panyakham, 53, a fellow tourist, said: “Thung Wua Laen is known for its beauty, but it’s worrying that there is no clear system for monitoring or safeguarding swimmers, especially during school holidays when children come to play.” Initial investigations revealed that the two girls had travelled with relatives from Ranong to enjoy a holiday at the beach. While their family members remained onshore, the girls entered the water unaware of the depth. Neither of them could swim well. Suchada, the girl who died, had reportedly tried to push her friend toward the shore before succumbing to exhaustion. Local officials are being urged to review safety protocols at the province’s beaches to prevent further tragedies. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-05. -

Accident Man Killed in Motorbike Crash After Overnight Drinking Session in Udon Thani
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 25-year-old man died on the morning of 4 May after crashing his motorcycle into a roadside guardrail on the Udon Thani ring road. The accident occurred shortly after he had reportedly spent the night drinking with friends. Police and emergency responders were called to the scene at approximately 07:00, near the Udon Thani Elderly Home in Nong Bua subdistrict. Officers from Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, along with medical personnel from Udon Thani Hospital and volunteers from a local rescue foundation, arrived to find the body of Mr Chutipon, 25, lying face-up in the grass beside the road. His white Honda Scoopy motorbike was found about 30 metres away, showing scrape marks on the front left side. No official identification was found on the victim, though a mobile phone and a lighter were recovered from his body. A can of whipped cream and a fishing tackle bag were also found under the motorcycle seat. Rescue volunteers managed to unlock the phone using a fingerprint scan and discovered a missed call around 06:00. Returning the call led officers to contact the deceased’s girlfriend. Ms June, also 25, arrived shortly after to confirm the identity of her boyfriend. In shock, she told police that Mr Chutipon sold fruit with his father outside a department store in central Udon Thani, and lived with her and his mother in a nearby housing estate. She said he had gone out around 19:00 the previous evening to meet friends at a local restaurant and had not returned home. She last spoke to him early that morning before receiving the police call. A witness, Mr Phut, 47, said he came across the scene while travelling home to Kalasin Province. He saw a group of people gathered and a motorcycle lying on its side. Upon closer inspection, he saw the lifeless body and realised the situation was severe. Other bystanders reported that three women in a car had stopped and were the first to notify authorities. Police believe the crash occurred as a result of the victim driving at high speed and possibly falling asleep at the wheel. The motorbike appeared to have veered off and clipped the metal barrier, throwing Mr Chutipon into the guardrail with fatal force. No evidence of another vehicle being involved was found at the scene. The body was taken to Udon Thani Hospital for autopsy, including blood tests to determine blood alcohol content. CCTV footage from nearby locations will be reviewed to clarify the cause of the accident and determine if further investigation is necessary. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-05.
