Health Health Officials Warn of Rising RSV Cases During Rainy Season
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Thailand’s public health authorities have issued a warning as cases of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) rise during the rainy season, with over 1,600 infections reported so far this year. The virus poses a particular risk to young children and the elderly. Dr. Phanumas Yanawetsakul, Director-General of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), confirmed on 21 July, that from 1 January to 21 July 2025, a total of 1,631 RSV cases have been reported nationwide, though no deaths have yet been recorded. The majority of patients, 1,246 cases, were children under the age of four. The second most affected group are children aged 5 to 9 (141 cases), followed by individuals over 60 (60 cases). RSV is known to cause severe respiratory illness, particularly pneumonia, in infants and elderly patients. Dr. Phanumas noted that RSV infections are seasonal in Thailand, with peaks typically observed during the rainy and winter months, coinciding with influenza outbreaks. The virus spreads easily through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing and contact with contaminated surfaces. It can survive on hard surfaces for several hours, increasing the likelihood of transmission in crowded or shared environments. “Early symptoms of RSV are similar to those of the common cold, fever, cough, runny nose, and sore throat,” said Dr. Phanumas. “However, if a child exhibits rapid or laboured breathing, wheezing, chest retraction, fatigue, reduced appetite or refuses to feed or play, they should be taken to a doctor immediately.” Deputy Director-General of the DDC, Dr. Direk Khampan, urged the public, especially parents and caregivers, to adopt preventive measures similar to those used to curb influenza and COVID-19, including: 1. Washing hands frequently with soap and water or using hand sanitiser. 2. Avoiding touching the nose, mouth, and eyes with unclean hands. 3. Not sharing personal items such as utensils or drinking glasses. 4. Regularly disinfecting children’s toys, particularly after contact with sick individuals. 5. Avoiding close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness. Advice for Patients: • Stay home and rest. Wear a face mask to prevent transmission. • Keep the environment clean to reduce viral presence in the home. • Drink plenty of fluids to help thin respiratory secretions. • If symptoms worsen, such as increased breathing difficulty or fatigue, seek medical attention immediately. For more information, the public can contact the Department of Disease Control’s hotline. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-22 -

Buying property in 7 year old sons name
Hi all just wondering if someone can point me right direction in terms of understanding the laws regarding buying and owning property in Thailand. I have a 7 year old son who is dual citizen Danish/thai. Im divorced from his mum, but he was born in Thailand, has a Thai passport and is registered at her parents adress. He lives with me in Danmark. He is my only kid so he’ll inherit everything from me (eventually). Could I buy something in his name and get access to property that you couldn’t buy as a non Thai. citizen? I guess you also do it an a company where he is the shareholder? -

Accident Man Drowns While Fishing – Locals Blame Local Spirit
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 57-year-old man drowned after becoming trapped in an underwater drainage pipe while foraging for shellfish and fishing near a revered local shrine, sparking talk of a supernatural curse among villagers. Police Lieutenant Colonel Natthapong Wongwang, an investigator at Tha Hin Police Station in Lopburi province, received a report at 15:45 on 20 July regarding a man missing in waters near the revered Chao Pho Jui shrine in Moo 10, Bang Khan Mak Subdistrict. Rescue teams from the Por Teck Tung Foundation arrived at the scene, a weir adjacent to the shrine and immediately deployed divers. The search was made difficult by the strong water currents and the depth of the pipe, approximately 5 metres. For 15 minutes, divers searched in vain while distraught relatives sobbed nearby. In a poignant turn, the victim’s family lit incense sticks and offered a traditional apology to Chao Pho Jui, a highly respected guardian spirit in the area. Remarkably, during the second dive shortly after the ritual, divers discovered the body of Mr. Nawee, a native of Saraburi province, wedged inside the underwater pipe. His body was retrieved and examined by medical staff at the scene. According to 19-year-old Sekson, the victim’s nephew, the family had travelled from Na Phra Lan early that morning to fish and collect shellfish. After dispersing to different parts of the area, the family later realised Mr. Nawee was missing. His floating plastic tub was found near the pipe’s entrance, prompting an urgent search and the involvement of local authorities. Residents of the area emphasised the community’s deep spiritual reverence for Chao Pho Jui. Each year, locals conduct religious ceremonies and make offerings to thank the deity for protecting their rice fields and harvests. Many believe the incident may have been a result of neglecting to pay respects to the spirit before entering the waters, a tradition taken seriously by long-time residents.

JD Vance warned he's 'utterly unwelcome' over UK vacation plans
Blimey, it's bad enough having Donald coming over again, and now his attack dog wants to come too. Come on you two. Put America first and stay in the US. There must be plenty of sights home you still haven't explored fully, like a long walking holiday in Death Valley. Angry Brits have told JD Vance to "f**k off back home" after it was announced he plans to holiday in the Cotswolds this summer — after previously insulting the UK and our troops. The US Vice President – previously dubbed "JD Dunce" by your Daily Star – has been warned next month's trip to the picturesque holiday hotspot will be met with protests from activists. But before he has even stepped foot in the country, locals have told him to sling his hook after making a number of remarks that have irked officials in Britain and Europe since Donald Trump swept to power last November.
