Accident Elderly Cyclist Injured as Van Runs Red Light at Bangkok Crossing
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. An 84-year-old cyclist suffered a fractured pelvis after being struck by a van that ran a red light at a pedestrian crossing in the Prawet district of Bangkok. The incident, captured on CCTV, occurred at 7:03 on the 13 July, near the entrance to Soi Chaloem Phra Kiat Rama IX Soi 38, a crosswalk leading into Bueng Nong Bon Public Park, close to Suan Luang Rama IX. The incident footage has now been widely circulated posted by the popular Facebook page Drama-addict, shows the van ignoring a red traffic light before hitting the cyclist, who was crossing legally at the designated pedestrian area. The elderly victim was thrown from his bicycle and sustained abrasions, before later being diagnosed with a broken sacrum at Prince Suvarnabhumi Hospital. Medical staff say recovery may take up to two months, owing to the victim’s age. The injured man’s grandchild, who submitted the clip to Drama-addict, has issued a heartfelt plea to motorists to exercise greater caution near crossings. “The man who was hit is my grandfather,” the message reads. “He was on his way to cycle in Bueng Nong Bon as he usually does on weekends. Please, all drivers, be more mindful when approaching zebra crossings.” The incident has renewed public concern about road safety in Bangkok, particularly the dangers faced by pedestrians and cyclists at crossings where traffic rules are frequently ignored. Police have not yet confirmed whether the van driver will face charges. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-17 -

Report Thailand's New Labour Bill Grants 120 Days Maternity Leave, 15 for Fathers
File photo In a landmark decision today, Thailand's House of Representatives passed the updated Labour Protection Act, granting female employees an astounding 120 days of paid maternity leave. Additionally, fathers can now enjoy 15 days of paid leave to assist with newborn care. The draft now heads to the Senate for review. This decision follows revisions made after the first reading, extending maternity leave from 98 to 120 days. A decisive vote saw 416 MPs in favour, with only one abstention and three MPs absent. This change aims to enhance the quality of life for employees and nurture family bonds. According to the new legislation, employers are required to cover 50% of a female employee's daily wage during her 120-day maternity leave. Meanwhile, male employees assisting with newborns will receive their full daily wage for up to 15 days. This progressive move represents a major shift in supporting working families.
