Accident Spoon Saves the Day: Rescue Team Frees Boy’s Hand from Pool Pipe
Picture courtesy of SiamRath. In a display of calm thinking and creativity, a rescue team used an ordinary spoon to free a six-year-old boy whose hand had become stuck in a pool pipe in Racha Thewa sub-district, Bang Phli district. The incident occurred on 11 July at a housing estate swimming pool when the boy’s hand became lodged in a suction pipe approximately 5 inches in diameter. His hand was firmly wedged and initial attempts to remove it were unsuccessful. The Ruamkatanyu Foundation dispatched a specialist rescue team and a medical support vehicle to the scene. After assessing the situation, rescuers determined that the pipe’s dimensions were a near-perfect fit for the child’s hand, making extraction particularly tricky. Enter one of the foundation’s experienced rescue operatives, who came up with an unlikely but effective solution. Using a common household spoon, the rescuer carefully slid it between the boy’s wrist and the inner wall of the pipe to create a gap. This clever manoeuvre allowed the boy’s hand to be gently and safely freed, without damaging the pool’s system or causing injury to the child. Thanks to the team’s skill and calm under pressure, the child was successfully rescued with no need for invasive methods such as cutting the pipe. He was left shaken but unharmed. The foundation has since issued a warning to parents and guardians, urging them to be aware of the potential dangers of swimming pools, especially involving suction pipes or drains. They strongly advised against attempting to pull a child’s limb out in such situations without proper training, as this could cause injury. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamRath 2025-07-13 -

Crime Man Arrested After Evading Attempted Murder Warrant for Over a Decade
Picture courtesy of CIB A fugitive wanted for a brutal attempted murder in 2008 has been apprehended in Surin Province after more than 10 years on the run. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) confirmed the arrest of Mr Thanin in the Sakaekhai subdistrict, Mueang Surin District. The arrest was carried out by officers from the Special Operations Division (BPP), who tracked Mr Thanin to a residential village where he had been living under the radar. He was wanted on charges including attempted premeditated murder and firearms offences under the The Firearms Act. The case dates back to the night of 22 June 2008, when Mr Thanin, then involved in a longstanding feud with a rival group, armed himself with a homemade 12-gauge shotgun and prowled the Kamphaeng Phet–Tha Makhuea road (Village 15, Thepnakhon Subdistrict, Mueang Kamphaeng Phet District) in search of his enemies. Once he located the group, he fired a single close-range shot, at less than 10 metres, towards three individuals. • The first victim was hit in multiple vital areas including the neck, chest, abdomen, and hip. • The second suffered a fractured right arm after being shot in the upper arm. • The third was wounded above the right elbow. Thanks to swift medical attention, all three victims survived. Mr Thanin initially turned himself in and contested the case in court. However, partway through proceedings, he absconded and remained at large for more than a decade. Acting on intelligence, officers located his hideout and successfully carried out the arrest without incident. He has now been handed over to the Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Court to face prosecution. The arrest was made under the direction of Pol. Lt. Gen. Jiraphop Bhuridej, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, and coordinated by Pol. Maj. Gen. Teerachart Theerachartthamrong, Commander of the Special Operations Division, and Pol. Col. Siwawong Damrongsatsiri, Superintendent of Subdivision 3. The operation was executed by Pol. Lt. Col. Chanaphat Siriphong and his team from Subdivision 3. Adapted by Asean Now from CIB 2025-07-13 -

Accident Man Dies After Pickup Truck Plunges Off 10-Metre Bridge on Way to Visit Girlfriend
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A crash has claimed the life of a 36-year-old man in Lampang province after he veered his pickup truck off a high bridge and overturned, trapping him inside and killing him. Police from Mae Phrik Station confirmed the fatal crash occurred around 20:00 on 11 July near kilometre marker 584 on the Super Highway, in Ban Mae Chiang Rai Bon, Mae Phrik district. Rescue teams from the Lampang Volunteer Rescue Association and forensic doctors from Mae Phrik Hospital were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities found a white Toyota Champ pickup truck registered in Lopburi lying overturned beneath the bridge, which is approximately 10 metres high. The vehicle was resting on its roof and scattered around the site were numerous mobile phone accessories, including phone cases, screen protectors and SIM cards. Inside the wreckage, the lifeless body of the driver, identified as Mr. Pakin, was discovered pinned beneath the vehicle. Rescue teams worked to extract his body from the mangled remains of the truck. Preliminary reports indicate that Mr. Pakin had been driving from his home to visit his girlfriend in nearby Lamphun province when the crash occurred. Investigators believe he may have lost control of the vehicle before it plunged from the bridge, but are reviewing any available CCTV to confirm no other vehicle was involved. The body was transported to Mae Phrik Hospital for autopsy and authorities notified the deceased’s relatives. Police have launched a full investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
