Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 12-year-old boy lost his life after being struck and run over by an lorry and trailer, while crossing a road on his bicycle in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. His friend, who was riding pillion, escaped serious injury but was left in a state of shock. Police from Nakhon Luang Station, led by Pol. Sub-Lt. Rakchat Prasoppol, responded to the scene of the fatal collision on the Bang Rakam–Bo Phong Road in Moo 4, Bang Rakam subdistrict, following reports of a cyclist being fatally hit by a lorry. At the scene, officers found a blue bicycle crushed under the rear wheels of a parked lorry. The main vehicle bore registration from Ayutthaya. Lying near the rear right wheel was the lifeless body of the young cyclist. His companion, also aged 12, was unharmed but visibly distressed. Initial investigations revealed that the two boys had been cycling from their nearby housing estate to a convenience store located across the road. Believing it was safe to cross while vehicles were stopped at a red light, they attempted to ride across the two-lane road. A lorry moved forward as its light turned green, striking the bicycle. The rider was killed instantly after being dragged under the rear wheels. The lorry driver stated he had the green light and was proceeding lawfully when the boys suddenly emerged from a side road. He said he tried to swerve, nearly crashing into a nearby shop in the process, but was unable to avoid the collision. Police have taken the driver in for further questioning and are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby cameras to determine the precise cause of the incident. The body of the young victim has been sent for examination, and arrangements are being made to return him to his family for funeral rites. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-23 -

Report 150,000 Expected at Victory Monument Protest Demanding PM Paetongtarn’s Resignation
Picture courtesy of Daily News BANGKOK – Leaders of the "Ruam Palang Paendin" group took to Victory Monument to prepare for a highly anticipated mass protest scheduled for June 28. The rally seeks the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and demands that all coalition parties withdraw from the government. This significant demonstration is expected to draw a crowd of more than 150,000 people. Jatuporn Promphan, a leading figure in the protest movement, has stated that the turnout is hoped to rival the recent gathering of 150,000 Cambodians who rallied in Phnom Penh. That event was in support of the Cambodian government amid an ongoing border dispute with Thailand. Jatuporn emphasised that their protest is not an incitement for military intervention but aims to safeguard national territory, which they believe is at risk due to the prime minister's perceived mishandling of the border issue. The demonstration is set to run from 4pm to 9pm, and Jatuporn expressed hopes that law enforcement and government authorities will not attempt to thwart the rally. The group insists on a peaceful protest, intended as a patriotic stand rather than a bid for chaos. Panthep Puapongpan, another prominent protest leader, explained the symbolic choice of Victory Monument as the venue. The monument commemorates Thailand's reclaiming of lost territories from French colonial forces, aligning with the group's message of national sovereignty. They have made plans to direct loudspeakers away from nearby hospitals to minimise disruption for patients. Panthep also addressed public discourse regarding accusations against Prime Minister Paetongtarn. Supporters claim she did not leak a recorded phone conversation with Cambodian leader Hun Sen. However, Panthep urged the public to focus on the content of the conversation, implying its significance in their cause. The protest marks a pivotal moment in Thailand's political landscape, potentially influencing future government dynamics. The outcome is yet to be determined, but the rally's scale signifies a significant public discontent with current leadership. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-06-23
