Ambulance Collecting Patient Struck by Car , Two Injured at Phetchaburi Intersection
Picture from responders. Two emergency medical staff were injured on the night of 17 April, after a white sedan crashed into their ambulance at a dark intersection in Phetchaburi province, flipping the emergency vehicle onto its side. The incident occurred around 23:00, at the Khan Khlong Suea intersection in Ban Mo Subdistrict, Mueang Phetchaburi District. Responding officers from the local police found the emergency vehicle from Kaeng Krachan Hospital overturned on its side in the middle of the road. Inside the ambulance were two trapped individuals: a female emergency medical technician and a male driver. Both sustained injuries and were later rescued by members of the Sawang Sanphet Dhammasathan Foundation and transported to Phra Chom Klao Hospital for treatment. Nearby, officers located the white car involved in the collision, damaged at the front. The driver, identified as Mr Itthiphon, was unharmed. He told police that he had been driving alone from Khlong Suea Road towards central Phetchaburi when the crash occurred. He claimed the area was poorly lit and that he had not seen the intersection before ploughing directly into the side of the ambulance. At the time of the incident, the ambulance had been en route from Kaeng Krachan Hospital to collect a patient from Phra Chom Klao Hospital. The journey was abruptly halted by the high-impact collision. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the crash and will determine whether further legal action will be taken against the driver of the sedan. -- 2025-04-19 -

Thailand's Pavilion at Osaka Expo Faces Backlash for Missing Futuristic Mark
Picture courtesy of Thai Rath Thai Pavilion's historic display criticised as out of tune with Expo's future-focused theme, leaving visitors wanting more. Thailand's much-anticipated pavilion at the Osaka Expo has stirred quite a buzz, but not for the reasons organisers hoped. Set against the backdrop of "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," the pavilion has been labelled a missed opportunity by attendees. Criticisms are pouring in, suggesting it leans too heavily on historical and cultural displays rather than aligning with the futuristic theme. Notably, TQM Corporation's chairman, Unchalin Punnipa, voiced his dismay. His comments about the disconnect between the theme and Thailand's presentation have gone viral on Facebook, garnering over 1,500 shares. Punnipa pointedly questioned if the focus on history, nature, food, and health truly fits a theme centred on future societies. Visitors like Veenie Nichapatr have called for a revamp, stating, "Design by private firm. Content by bureaucrat." Suggestions are pouring in for additions that highlight Thailand's innovations in health and well-being, resonating more with the Expo’s futuristic vision. Despite these criticisms, some elements have struck a chord. Japanese visitors, for instance, seem captivated by the authentic Thai cuisine on display. YouTuber Rion Ishida, with an impressive 190,000 subscribers, left praising the culinary offerings, and similar sentiments were echoed on social media platforms. Located within a 60,000-square-metre space, the pavilion's exhibits focus on healthy living, healthcare services, and traditional medicines. Thai officials stress the pavilion's potential in showcasing the nation's strengths in health and wellness, promising to incorporate visitor feedback. With a hefty budget of 900 million baht invested, overseen by the Public Health Ministry, Thai officials remain hopeful. The aim, as articulated by Kittikorn Lohsoonthorn, secretary to Minister Somsak Thepsutin, is to position Thailand as a global health hub. Running until October 13, the Osaka Expo will continue receiving feedback as Thailand alongside 158 nations exhibits their best. Whether the pavilion will adjust its sails remains to be seen as the event unfolds. Based on a story by Bangkok Post -- 2025-04-19
