Accident Man Killed After NGV Crashes Into Road Sign and Erupts into Flames
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A man died in a fiery crash in the early hours of the morning of 6 June, after his CNG powered car collided with a road sign and exploded, trapping him inside as the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The incident occurred at approximately 03:10 near Ban Nong Nam Thip, about 600 metres from the Phahonyothin Road junction in Ban Mi district, Lopburi province. Police Lieutenant Chatree Sappayniyompong, deputy investigator at Mueang Lopburi Police Station and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, responded to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency crews discovered a car ablaze at the base of a roadside directional sign. Firefighters from the Khao Phrangam Subdistrict Municipality were quickly deployed and managed to extinguish the flames after a fierce blaze. Once the fire was under control, investigators inspected the burnt-out wreckage, which had been destroyed beyond recognition. Although the make and model were not immediately identifiable, it is believed to have been a BMW sedan. A scorched licence plate bearing only the numbers “8596” was recovered. The charred body of a man was found in the driver’s seat, burned beyond identification. No documentation or personal effects were found due to the intensity of the fire. Ms. Kanueng Ketbunjong, 54, who was staying overnight at a nearby farm, witnessed the horrifying sequence of events. She reported seeing the car travelling along Phahonyothin Road before making a sudden U-turn and accelerating loudly. “The car spun once, then crossed over to the opposite lane, revved the engine and crashed straight into the signpost,” she said. Moments later, the rear of the vehicle exploded into flames. Her husband attempted to douse the fire with an extinguisher but was unsuccessful and further explosions followed as the fire spread rapidly throughout the vehicle. Ms. Kanueng also noted that the road is a known hotspot for illegal street racing among local youths, with motorbikes and pickup trucks frequently using the stretch for high-speed contests. At the crash site, police discovered the vehicle’s rear window had been blown clear of the car and landed nearby. Investigators also found a gas tank installed in the car’s boot, along with several picnic-style butane canisters, suggesting that flammable materials may have intensified the blaze. Authorities have sent the body to Ananda Mahidol Hospital for forensic examination and are continuing their investigation to identify the victim and determine the exact cause of the incident.

My wife wanted me to sign a document any money she gets is hers!
He spent the first 50+ years of his life in the UK and he was not happy, he stated before that he wished he had discovered Thailand when he was younger. Now he's just making the best of it in his old years and doesn't care about anyone or anything else. There's a psychological element to his mindset and posts. -

Bombshell Study: ‘Vaccines’ Trigger Brainstem Dysfunction > Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Bombshell ! MAHA one big lie . Again. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-takes-action-updated-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-better-protect-against-currently-circulating Allowing the mRNA Covid vaccines to be continued against older people and other vulnerable people is unconscionable Dr. Peter and Ginger Breggin Jun 6 What You Need to Know *from FDA website* Individuals 5 years of age and older regardless of previous vaccination are eligible to receive a single dose of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 2 months since the last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals 6 months through 4 years of age who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible to receive one or two doses of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (timing and number of doses to administer depends on the previous COVID-19 vaccine received). Unvaccinated individuals 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive three doses of the updated authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or two doses of the updated authorized Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. The FDA is confident in the safety and effectiveness of these updated vaccines and the agency’s benefit-risk assessment demonstrates that the benefits of these vaccines for individuals 6 months of age and older outweigh their risks. *Kennedy has now released a statement on X that reassures people that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, to worry about surrounding the FDA approval of the latest mRNA vaccine.* -

Report Bangkok Cracks Down on Chinatown Tuk-Tuk Scams
Picture courtesy of Daily News In a move to enhance safety and ease congestion in Bangkok's Chinatown, Dr Suchatvee "A" Suwansawat, a prominent political figure, spearheaded a campaign alongside local authorities to tackle the issue of public transport overcharging and traffic jams. On 6th June, the initiative unfolded on Yaowarat Road, an area famous for its influx of tourists. Dr Suchatvee joined forces with Bangkok City Council member Mr Pinit Ganjanachusak and police officers from Phlapphla Chai 2 and Chakkrawat stations to address the pressing concerns. The crackdown focused on tuk-tuks and taxis allegedly inflating fares and blocking roads, causing severe congestion and distress among tourists. Picture courtesy of Daily News Responding to public complaints, Dr Suchatvee noted that roadblocks caused by parked three-wheelers and taxis have led to a narrowing of a typically five-lane street, worsening traffic problems. Additionally, the economic downturn and decreased tourism, especially from China due to safety concerns, have prompted immediate action to restore confidence. The goal is to promote Yaowarat as a model of safety, reassuring both local and international tourists. Mr Pinit and the local government have intensified efforts to prevent long-standing traffic and pricing issues through collaboration with multiple agencies. Picture courtesy of Daily News Police Superintendent Pol. Col. Witthawat Khengkhum confirmed that daily enforcement and arrests are ongoing, despite the challenge posed by the large number of three-wheelers. The plan is to transform Yaowarat into a beacon of security, improving Thailand’s international image as a welcoming and safe destination. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Daily News 2025-06-07 -

Report Thai Roads: Quiet Amidst Chaos, The Culture of Low Horn Use
Actually, I’d say it’s almost the opposite. The French have always had a strong culture of using their horns—so much so that specific legislation had to be introduced to try and reduce the habit. In Thailand, by contrast, the horn is seen as inherently aggressive. Raising your voice, let alone sounding a horn in frustration, is heavily frowned upon. Thai regulations on horn use aren’t aimed at curbing overuse—they exist to maintain the already minimal use and to discourage any escalation of tension. If you visit some of the old French colonies, you’ll still notice how that fondness for the horn lingers—a bit of cultural carryover that highlights just how different the underlying attitudes are.
