Accident Playground Incident Claims Life of 9-Year-Old Girl
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A nine-year-old girl has died in a playground incident at a school in Udon Thani Province after being struck in the abdomen by a moving piece of play equipment. The impact caused fatal internal injuries, with doctors confirming she suffered a torn liver and internal bleeding. The incident occurred on the afternoon of 30 July, shortly after school had finished. The young victim, a pupil referred to only as “A”, had been helping push a “rocking train” ride, a three rows of seats, metal apparatus commonly found in playgrounds, when it swung back and struck her in the stomach. Teachers administered CPR at the scene, and emergency services were called. The girl was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. Her grandmother, 62-year-old Ms Sirita, spoke in tears. She revealed that the child had been living with her aunt in Udon Thani town, as her parents had separated, her mother now has a new family and her father runs a private business. “She was a bright, diligent girl,” said Ms Sirita. “She always said she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up. This kind of playground equipment shouldn’t be in schools. I was shocked when I heard what happened, children can’t control the motion properly and anyone can get hurt.” Ms Sirita, a retired teacher herself, urged education authorities nationwide to take playground safety more seriously, calling the loss of her granddaughter “a tragedy that should serve as a warning for schools across the country”. A teacher at the school said several pupils had been playing in the playground while waiting for their parents after school. According to students who witnessed the incident, “A” was standing behind the rocking train and pushing it forward for her friends who were seated on it. As it swung back, it struck her directly in the abdomen. She collapsed, holding her stomach, with a pale face and bluish lips before losing consciousness. Emergency responders were alerted immediately and CPR was carried out before she was transported to hospital. The school has agreed to cover all funeral costs and has confirmed that the pupil was included in a group life insurance policy, which will pay out approximately 60,000 baht to the family. A formal committee will be established to investigate the incident. Police are also conducting an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Investigators will examine who authorised the installation of the play equipment and whether it met safety standards. However, authorities emphasised that the incident appears to have been an accident, with no evidence of anyone deliberately pushing the ride at the time. All eyewitnesses are children, many of whom remain in shock. Police say they will wait before taking formal statements to allow the pupils time to recover emotionally.

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
Agents are saying not possible hence my question. I'm not sure of what pages of the passport are submitted. The other thing I find confusing re agent advice is they state you need to remain in country of application until approval. The approved eVisa is sent via email so why the need to remain till it's approved. -
