Accident Minibus Crashes in Heavy Rain Leaving Eight Injured on Sukhumvit Road, Rayong

A road crash narrowly avoided leading to a tragedy on the morning of 24 May, when a passenger minibus skidded off the road and overturned in a roadside drainage ditch amid heavy rain in Rayong province, injuring eight people. The crash occurred at approximately 08:10 near the entrance to U-Tapao Airport on the inbound Sukhumvit Road in Ban Chang district. According to the Siam Rayong Foundation’s radio operations centre, a white passenger minibus operating the Chonburi–Pattaya–Sattahip–Rayong route veered off the slick road and overturned into a drainage canal roughly two metres deep. Emergency services and rescue teams were immediately dispatched to the scene, where they discovered the vehicle lying on its side. All eight occupants, including the 53-year-old driver, Mr. Wichai Karamruen, were trapped inside. Four passengers, including Mr. Wichai, sustained serious injuries, while the remaining four suffered bruises and suspected fractures. In a stroke of good fortune, a group of Royal Thai Navy officers happened to be passing by the scene and quickly intervened, helping to extricate the victims from the wreckage and administer first aid. They also assisted in managing traffic to prevent further incidents until official rescue personnel arrived and transported the injured to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr. Wichai explained that he had picked up passengers in Chonburi and was en route to Rayong when the crash occurred. He said torrential rain had made the road slippery, causing the vehicle to spin out of control before tumbling into the drainage ditch. Ms. Narisa Suttijak, 45, one of the injured passengers, described the moment, as she was seated at the rear of the van. “The rain was heavy, and the van was going quite fast. It began swerving violently before flipping over. Everyone was screaming. We were so lucky the navy officers stopped to help us,” she said. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident and have urged motorists to exercise extreme caution during adverse weather conditions. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-05-25. -

Can't comment, never met any loan sharks. Bouncers are my best friends. I love how they give the nasty, disrespectful foreigners a lesson in 'behave yourself or lose your teeth'. 😂 I have some favourite videos I often re-watch, outstanding entertainment. 😎 Sorry to hear of your bad experiences. -

Politics Interior Ministry Denies Claims on Thai “White Card”, Blames Social Media for Misinformation
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. The Ministry of Interior has firmly denied claims circulating on Chinese social media that suggest the Thai “White Card” makes it easy for foreigners to acquire Thai citizenship and property rights. Ms Traisulee Traisoranakul, Secretary to the Minister of Interior and spokesperson for the ministry, clarified that such claims are misleading and do not reflect the reality of Thailand’s legal and administrative processes. Her comments came in response to a viral post dated 23 May, which appeared to promote the so-called “White Card” as a shortcut to Thai nationality and related benefits. The “White Card”, officially known as the Card for Persons Without Legal Status in Civil Registration, is issued under strict legal criteria. It is designed to provide identification for stateless individuals or those without nationality, not as a pathway to full citizenship. “The information being circulated on Chinese social media distorts the truth,” said Ms Traisulee. “The Department of Provincial Administration follows stringent protocols in verifying and granting registration status. Recipients must meet all conditions prescribed by law.” She emphasised that possession of the card does not equate to automatic rights to Thai citizenship, property ownership, or employment. The ministry has urged the public not to be misled by online narratives and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and adherence to legal processes in all nationality-related matters. The Ministry of Interior has called on international media and social media platforms to exercise caution and accuracy when discussing sensitive issues involving national security and immigration policy.
