Community Heartbreaking Story of Schoolgirl Living Alone After Mother’s Death & Father’s Imprisonment
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A home visit by teachers has uncovered a deeply moving story of a 14-year-old girl in Udon Thani who has been living alone since the death of her mother and the incarceration of her father. The girl, identified as Miss Kriss is a Mathayom 1 student at Wat Pattamakorn Secondary School in Ban Bo Pattam, Sa Baeng Subdistrict, Nong Han District. Her plight came to light after a local Facebook page, Nong Han Ban Hao, shared her story, prompting shock and sympathy across the community. Teachers visiting her home were astonished to find that Kriss lives entirely on her own in a dilapidated one-storey concrete house with a leaking metal roof. Her mother died two years ago, followed by her grandmother the year after. Her father is currently imprisoned in Surat Thani Province and had previously been abusive to both Kriss and her mother. Kriss survives by cooking for herself and occasionally receives visits from her older sister or a distant aunt. In the evenings after school, she earns a modest income, around 30 to 50 baht per day, by skewering grilled chicken at a local stall. The home she lives in technically belongs to her late grandmother, who had mortgaged it with the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) a decade ago. The current status of the mortgage remains uncertain, raising fears that the house could be repossessed at any time. Local authorities, including Mr Grawi Sarakham, Member of Parliament for the Pheu Thai Party and district officials, have since visited the girl. They offered food supplies and a cash donation and pledged to provide Kriss with a monthly stipend of 3,000 baht to support her education through to university or as far as she wishes to study. “I was moved after hearing about her situation,” said Mr Grawi. “She is a bright student with great potential. No child should have to face life alone like this, especially a young girl.” Assistant school director Mr Natthawut Phonyiem, who led the original visit, described how the teaching staff were left stunned. “We didn’t expect this. Kriss is practically alone. Her house is falling apart, and she barely has support,” he said. Kriss’s resilience and maturity have touched many. “When I lived with my mother and father in Koh Samui, my father was abusive. My mother fled with me here. After she passed away, I stayed with my grandmother until she died too,” she shared. “Now, I live alone. I used to dream of opening a flower shop. Even though I’m alone, I’ll keep fighting for my mother.” Ms Bua, 60, Kriss’s great-aunt and the sister of her late grandmother, confirmed that Kriss has refused offers to live with relatives. “She’s a brave child,” she said. “But she’s all alone. Her mother mortgaged the house ten years ago, and we don’t know if it has been seized or sold yet.” Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-18 -

Accident Refuge Collector Killed After Being Hit by Pickup Truck While Collecting Rubbish
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A road crash in Ratchaburi province has claimed the life of a municipal sanitation worker on the morning of 17 June, after he was struck by a pickup truck while carrying out his duties. The incident occurred at approximately 07:00 on the Ban Kum–Don Yai Road in Moo 2, Bang Phae sub-district. Police investigator Pol Lt Suttipong Suwannano of Bang Phae Police Station and rescue volunteers from Sawang Ratchaburi Foundation were dispatched to the scene following reports of a fatal collision. Emergency responders arrived to find the body of Mr Manop, a refuse collector employed by Bang Phae Subdistrict Municipality, lying lifeless at the rear of a municipal garbage truck. Nearby, a silver Isuzu pickup truck with Ratchaburi registration, which had been transporting workers to a fishing site, was found with front-end damage. The municipal six-wheeled orange rubbish lorry had sustained damage to its rear right side. Initial investigations revealed that the garbage truck had parked temporarily at a designated collection point when the deceased was standing behind the vehicle, preparing to lift a bin to empty into the truck. At that moment, the pickup truck driver reportedly veered into the rear of the garbage truck, striking Mr Manop with fatal force. Two passengers in the pickup suffered minor injuries but declined hospital treatment. Authorities have transferred the victim’s body to the forensic department at Ratchaburi Hospital. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-18 -

Question about changing from Money in the Bank to Income Method for Retirement EOS
Thanks, @Liquorice, yes, that is my understanding as well. I was just wondering if I need to bring the balance up to 800k for the last two months before the application, after the seven months of 400k. -

Trump's war ending/preventing reputation is tanking
Donald Trump fired back at Tucker Carlson after he accused the US president of being “complicit” in Israel’s attacks on Iran. The former Fox News host and MAGA figurehead rebuked Trump and the administration in his newsletter titled: “This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War.” Trump replied: “I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen. Thank you.” Trump fires back at Tucker Carlson after he accuses US president of being ‘complicit’ in Israel-Iran attacks -

That's how I feel about pretty much all of your posts, especially the dumb questions you ask in the Visa forum
