Fire Destroys Three-Storey School Building in Ang Thong
Pictures from responders. A fierce fire broke out at Ang Thong Patthamarot Witthayakhom School in Mueang Ang Thong district in the early hours of the morning of 24 February, causing extensive damage to a three-storey building. Firefighters battled the blaze for over an hour and half, before bringing it under control. The fire, which ignited at approximately 02:30, engulfed the school’s art exhibition hall within Building 2. The intensity of the flames was exacerbated by the large number of learning materials stored inside, which acted as fuel for the fire. Fire crews from the local disaster prevention and mitigation office worked to contain the blaze and prevent further damage. Authorities reported that three classrooms were severely damaged, with initial estimates of financial losses running into several million baht. Firefighters continued spraying water on the affected structure until sunrise, to prevent any flare-ups. Investigators examined the site to determine the exact cause of the fire, though early reports suggest an electrical short circuit may have been responsible. District Chief Raksak Tienchai, accompanied by officials from the Department of Public Works and Town Planning, as well as Jumnong Maliang, Chairman of the Ban It Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, inspected the scene. They assessed the structural integrity of the building and evaluated safety risks, particularly since students were in the midst of their final examinations. As a precautionary measure, authorities ordered the temporary closure of the left wing of the damaged building. Discussions are now underway with relevant agencies regarding the repair and restoration of the affected areas. Deputy Headteacher Saengduen Sueawong confirmed that the school has relocated examination rooms to Buildings 8 and 9 to ensure students' safety. “We have taken immediate steps to ensure students can continue their examinations without disruption. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority,” she said. -- 2025-02-25 -

Road Crash Claims Life of Teacher Hurrying to Returning Home
Picture from responders. A teacher lost her life in the early hours of 24th February after her car skidded on a wet road and crashed into the back of a lorry in Rayong province. At approximately 05:00, Pol Lt Woraphan Phetsri of Pak Nam Prasae Police Station, Rayong, received a report of a fatal accident on Sukhumvit Road, Rayong-Chanthaburi route, in Moo 2, Thung Khwai Kin subdistrict, Klaeng district. The crash occurred 400 metres past the Prasae traffic lights, where a black Toyota Vios, registration number from Chanthaburi, collided with a white lorry transporting milk, registered in Nakhon Nayok. Emergency services, including doctors from Klaeng Hospital and rescue workers from the Buddhist Relief Foundation, were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, officers found the road soaked after a night of heavy rainfall. The Toyota Vios had sustained damage, with drivers side damaged. The driver, later identified as Ms Rachatanan, 33, originally from Thang Kwian subdistrict, Klaeng district, Rayong, was inside and unresponsive. Despite immediate CPR attempts by rescuers, she succumbed to her injuries at the scene. Inside the wrecked vehicle, police discovered documents confirming Ms Rachatanan’s identity. A teacher in Chanthaburi, she had been returning home from a wedding celebration in Bangkok. A wedding invitation card dated 23rd February was also found in the car, suggesting she had attended the event before embarking on her journey home. It is believed she was rushing to reach Chanthaburi in time for her teaching duties that morning. The lorry driver, identified as Mr Phraiwan, 39, was waiting at the scene when authorities arrived. He explained that he had been driving in the left lane in the rain when he suddenly felt a powerful impact from behind. Pulling over immediately, he discovered the severely damaged car and the trapped driver, prompting him to alert emergency responders. Expressing his condolences, Mr Phraiwan stated that he was deeply saddened by the tragic loss. Eyewitness accounts suggest that Ms Rachatanan's vehicle had lost control after passing through a traffic light, causing it to spin before slamming sideways into the rear side of the lorry. Authorities suspect the accident was caused by the slippery road conditions combined with excessive speed. Relatives of the deceased arrived at the scene in tears, mourning the loss of a beloved family member. They described Ms Rachatanan as a kind-hearted person but noted her tendency to drive at high speeds, a concern they had frequently expressed. The family believes she may have been hurrying to get back to school for her morning classes when the accident occurred. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident, including reviewing CCTV footage and questioning witnesses, to determine the exact cause of the crash.Her body was transported to Klaeng Hospital for an autopsy. -- 2025-02-25 -
