An incident in Surin Province has left the local community in disbelief after a man driving a car unknowingly carried the body of a pedestrian he had struck on the roof of his vehicle for more than 30 kilometres. According to Pol. Col. Karom Boonsod, Chief of Tha Tum Police Station, the accident occurred earlier in the evening of November 23, at approximately 19:00, the driver, identified as Mr. Teerapat, a resident of That Subdistrict, Rattanaburi District, Surin Province, struck a man who was crossing the road. The impact caused the pedestrian’s body to land on the roof of Mr. Teerapat’s car. Unaware of the situation, Mr. Teerapat continued driving along the road from Chom Phra District to Tha Tum District. Meanwhile, officers from Chom Phra and Tha Tum Police Stations, along with rescue volunteers, coordinated efforts to locate and stop the vehicle after receiving reports from other motorists who noticed blood dripping from the car. Eventually, authorities intercepted the vehicle and detained Mr. Teerapat for questioning. He stated that he had poor visibility while driving and did not realise he had struck someone. He also claimed he was unaware that the victim’s body had landed on the roof of his car until the police stopped him. Witnesses following the car confirmed seeing the body on the roof, prompting them to alert local authorities.

Myanmar Worker Rescued After Hand Trapped in Meat Grinder for Two Hours
A 26-year-old Myanmar worker endured an ordeal when his hand became trapped in a meat grinder at a pork shop in central Nakhon Nayok. It took over two hours for rescue teams to free him before rushing him to Nakhon Nayok Hospital with parts of the machine still attached to his hand. The incident occurred around 14:30 on November 23, at a shop located in the bustling Senaphinitch Road market. Emergency responders from Ruam Katanyu Rescue Unit were called to the scene, where they found the worker sitting beside the machine, his right hand stuck inside the grinder from his fingers to his wrist. Initial attempts to contact the shop's manager and a technician to dismantle the machine were unsuccessful. With the worker showing signs of exhaustion and increasing pain, rescuers decided to use hydraulic cutting tools and an electric saw to dismantle the grinder piece by piece. The process took over two hours, as medics administered IV fluids and monitored the worker's condition. By the second hour, his condition and pain had worsened, heightening the urgency of the rescue. Once freed from most of the machine, the worker was transported on a stretcher to Nakhon Nayok Hospital with parts of the grinder still attached to his hand. Medical teams at the hospital are worked to remove the remaining equipment and assess the extent of his injuries. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24 -

4-Year-Old Boy Drowns in Reservoir Construction Site
A heartbroken mother mourns the death of her 4-year-old son, who drowned in a reservoir under construction. The boy fell into the water and was later found lifeless by rescue divers. The incident occurred at approximately 13.00 on November 23 at a water retention reservoir excavation site in Ban Nong Kra Chai, Village 11, Khok Sung Subdistrict, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima. The site was being developed as a water retention area for the village’s water supply system. Emergency responders from Hook 31 Rescue Unit were alerted and dispatched their specialised underwater search team to the scene. The reservoir, roughly 10 metres wide and 20 metres long, was filled with murky water and surrounded by concerned residents awaiting the rescue team. Initial reports identified the victim as Master Witthawat, aged 4. His mother, Ms. On, explained that she was working at a nearby housing project construction site, which was adjacent to the reservoir. She had allowed her son to play with the child of a co-worker. Shortly after, the co-worker’s child rushed back in panic, informing her that Witthawat had fallen into the water. Ms. On and her colleagues immediately searched for the boy but found only his shoes and a toy car abandoned near the reservoir’s edge. The steep and slippery banks, combined with the water’s turbidity, made the search challenging. The Hook 31 diving team began their operation along the shallow edges, where the water was about 3 metres deep, before extending to the centre of the reservoir, where depths reached 5 metres. After approximately 20 minutes of searching, the divers discovered the boy’s lifeless body at the reservoir’s deepest point. As his body was brought ashore, his devastated mother and grandfather broke into inconsolable cries of grief. Local police from Khok Sung Police Station conducted an investigation, and the boy’s body was taken to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital for an autopsy. Mr. Chaisit Phupharat, head of the Hook 31 Buddhist Dharma Foundation in Nakhon Ratchasima, commented on the tragedy, emphasizing the dangers of water bodies near children. “We suspect the children were playing near the reservoir’s edge, which is steep and unstable. Being so young, they lacked the awareness and ability to help themselves after falling in. The boy likely slipped to the bottom, where the water was deepest.” Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24 -

Rare Omura’s Whale Spotted Near Surin Islands, Phang Nga
A rare and extraordinary sighting of an Omura’s whale, a species rarely encountered in the wild, has left marine enthusiasts and local officials in awe. The majestic creature, measuring approximately 9-11 metres in length, was spotted near Mae Yai Island, part of the Surin Islands archipelago in Phang Nga Province. The discovery was made by officers from the Marine Security Unit of the Third Naval Area Command during a routine patrol. The team was returning from transporting a patient from the Surin Islands to the mainland in Kuraburi District when they encountered the whale surfacing gracefully near Mae Yai Island. The officers were able to capture this remarkable moment on camera, showcasing the beauty of this elusive marine mammal. The Omura’s whale (Balaenoptera omurai), often mistaken for the more common Bryde’s whale, is one of the rarest species of baleen whales. It was first identified in 2003 based on skeletal remains, which revealed distinct differences from Bryde’s whales. Notably, Omura’s whales are smaller, with adult males reaching up to 10 metres and females up to 11.5 metres. They also have more pronounced throat grooves and a taller, less curved dorsal fin. Named after Japanese marine biologist Dr. Hideo Omura, the species remains poorly understood due to its rarity and elusive nature. In Thailand, Omura’s whales are classified as protected wildlife under the 2019 Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act, ensuring their conservation in Thai waters. Encounters with Omura’s whales are exceptionally uncommon, making this sighting near the Surin Islands a significant event for marine researchers and conservationists. This region, known for its rich biodiversity, continues to serve as an essential habitat for marine life, emphasising the importance of protecting these pristine waters.

Thai Highway Police Pursue Pickup Truck Smuggling 29 Myanmar Migrants
In a dramatic operation, Thai highway police on November 23, intercepted a Mitsubishi pickup truck that was attempting to smuggle 29 Myanmar nationals into the country. The truck was chased after it was spotted traveling from Hat Yai in Songkhla province towards Narathiwat, with authorities suspecting it was part of a human trafficking operation. The police, working under the command of Pol. Gen. Chiraphop Puridech, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, set up a checkpoint on Highway 42 at the border between Patani and Narathiwat. Upon inspecting the vehicle, they discovered 29 Myanmar migrants packed inside the truck’s enclosed cargo area. The group consisted of 21 men and 8 women, all illegally attempting to enter Thailand in hopes of finding work in Malaysia. The driver, 27-year-old Muhammad Fitdaw Bin Yani from Phatthalung, was arrested. He confessed to being hired to transport the migrants from Hat Yai to Narathiwat, where they planned to cross into Malaysia. He received 1,500 baht per person from a Thai broker named “Nobin” from Yala, though his real identity remains unknown. The migrants revealed they had been traveling for three days and were nearing their final destination when they were caught by the police. They had been in contact with a Myanmar broker who facilitated their journey to Malaysia through Thailand. Authorities have charged the driver with human trafficking and aiding illegal immigration, while the 29 migrants face charges for illegal entry into the country. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the brokers involved in the smuggling operation, both in Thailand and Malaysia. This interception highlights the ongoing issue of human trafficking in the region, and authorities are working with relevant agencies to dismantle the network facilitating the illegal transport of migrants across borders.
