Lorry Driver Falls Asleep at the Wheel, Crashes onto Pickup Truck
Picture from responders. A lorry driver who fell asleep behind the wheel caused a serious crash on the Asian Highway, leading to a six-wheel truck overturning and crushing a pickup truck. The driver of the pickup was trapped and severely injured. The crash occurred at around 11:30 on 11th March in the Krung district of Chumphon. According to police reports, the driver of the red lorry, registered in Samut Prakan, was en route from Chonburi to Surat Thani with a delivery of goods. After having taken several rest stops, he admitted to feeling drowsy during the journey, which ultimately led to the crash. The truck veered off the road and collided with a grey Isuzu pickup truck. The impact flipped the lorry onto its side, crushing the pickup truck beneath it. The pickup driver, identified as 62-year-old Athorn Samran, was trapped inside, with the roof of the truck crushed down onto him. Rescue teams arrived at the scene to assess the situation. First aid was given to the trapped driver. Fearing that the overturned truck could slide and cause further injury to the driver and responders, they stabilised the vehicle with a crane, before extracting the driver. Due to the severity of Mr. Athorn’s injuries, the rescue team had to use cutting equipment to extricate him from the wreckage. He sustained serious injuries, including head trauma, a dislocated left arm and severe ankle wounds. Despite the extensive damage, the operation took less than 10 minutes, once the lorry had been secured and Mr. Athorn was transported to Sawi Hospital for treatment. The driver of the lorry, 37-year-old Sanchai, told police that he had set off from Chonburi around 01:00 on the same day. Along the way, he had stopped to rest and freshen up but had continued driving without sufficient sleep. He admitted that he became drowsy and eventually lost control of the vehicle. Sanchai was taken to Sawi Police Station for further questioning. He has been initially charged with reckless driving causing injury and damage to public property. Authorities will continue to monitor Mr. Athorn’s condition and may press additional charges depending on the severity of his injuries. -- 2025-03-12 -

Land Department to Rule on Legality of ‘Waterfront’ Land Title Amid Ongoing Pattaya Dispute
File picture for reference only. The long-running controversy surrounding the abandoned 53-storey Waterfront condominium project near Pattaya’s Bali Hai Pier remains unresolved, as authorities await a crucial decision from the Department of Lands regarding the legality of the land title deed. Pattaya Mayor Poramet Ngampichet has provided an update on 10 March, on the case, which has been mired in legal and bureaucratic uncertainty for over a decade. According to the latest developments, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has issued an official statement suggesting that the land title on which the Waterfront building stands may have been issued unlawfully. In response, Pattaya City has referred the matter to the Department of Lands for further investigation and a final ruling. “If the Department of Lands determines that the title deed was indeed issued illegally, the land will be deemed public property,” Mayor Poramet explained. “In that case, Pattaya City and Bang Lamung District will take responsibility for the area, and the project’s owners will be required to demolish the building.” Should the project developers fail to act, the city will undertake the demolition itself and charge the costs to the owners. The mayor also noted that if the land title is found to be illegitimate, the developers may have legal recourse against those who originally sold them the land. However, if the Department of Lands concludes that the title deed was issued correctly, the project’s developer, Bali Hai Co. Ltd., will have the right to proceed with construction. In such a scenario, the company would need to submit revised plans to Pattaya City in compliance with building control regulations. One key issue would be the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements, which have been a point of contention in the past. Additionally, the status of the adjacent road, whether private or public, remains a legal matter that must be addressed before any further development can take place. The mayor confirmed that if the project does go ahead, the height of the building would need to be reduced to meet legal requirements. The case has gained further attention in parliament, with a question raised by a senator prompting a response from the Minister of the Interior. Deputy Minister of the Interior has been tasked with addressing the matter, while Pattaya City has prepared a full report on the issue. The minister has instructed the Department of Lands to expedite its ruling so that the next steps can be determined without further delay. The outcome of this decision will finally determine the fate of the unfinished skyscraper, which has stood as an eyesore on Pattaya’s coastline for years. -- 2025-03-12
