Health Two Dead in Chiang Mai Linked to ‘Deafness Fever’ After Eating Raw Pork Dish
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. Two villagers in Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province, have died and several others have fallen ill after consuming larb dib, a traditional dish made with raw or undercooked pork. Health officials have confirmed that the illness was caused by a deadly bacteria often associated with the consumption of contaminated pork. The Chiang Mai Provincial Public Health Office (CPHO) has urged the public to avoid eating raw or partially cooked pork, warning that doing so can lead to severe illness or even death. According to Chom Thong Hospital, patients began reporting symptoms between February and July 2025. Most experienced high fever, severe headaches and in some cases, sudden hearing loss, a condition colloquially known in Thailand as “deafness disease.” Symptoms rapidly progressed in several patients, leading to hospitalisation and in two cases, death. The most recent fatality was a 59-year-old man who, between 30 June and 2 July, had purchased pork from an informal slaughterhouse in a neighbouring village. He prepared and consumed larb dib with a group of friends. On 3 July, he developed high fever, muscle aches, chills, vomiting and extreme fatigue. His condition deteriorated further the following day, prompting family members to take him to hospital. Blood tests confirmed Streptococcus suis infection, and he died on 5 July. No symptoms have been reported among those who shared the meal or his close contacts. Data from the CPHO show that, so far in 2025, there have been seven confirmed cases of Streptococcus suis infection in Chiang Mai Province, resulting in two deaths. Five of the cases were reported in Chom Thong District, with the remaining two in Wiang Haeng and Doi Tao Districts. In response, local disease control teams have been actively monitoring high-risk contacts, 21 individuals who may have been exposed, as well as six pork vendors. None have developed symptoms so far. Authorities are also conducting public awareness campaigns, advising against the consumption of raw or undercooked pork, particularly from unlicensed or non-compliant slaughterhouses. The Department of Livestock Development has also been informed and is working with local officials to trace the pork source and ensure proper hygiene and safety standards are being followed. Public health officials reiterate: consuming raw pork carries a serious risk of infection and should be avoided entirely. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-07-10 -

Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
From what I understand, it’s not going to be difficult to get a one-year cannabis patient card, a certificate and a prescription, which then will allow you to purchase cannabis legally. Several clinics in Thailand already offer the service I've been told. Some also offer it online, and apparently the online process takes about a week in order to receive the documents back from them in the post. This is after you’ve already submitted the necessary paperwork to them and completed some kind of online video recording process. So about 10-14 days in total from start to finish with the online process. The general process to get the certificate should be pretty straight forward I believe. You basically fill out a few forms, provide ID, and explain that you have a medical issue such as back pain, headaches, nausea, or trouble sleeping. That should be sufficient. Here’s a summary of what one clinic, whose information was translated from Thai, offers (although I don't like their idea of submitting a self-recorded online video to their clinic): One-year patient smart card: 550 baht Three-month medical certificate: 350 baht Prescription for controlled herbal medicine (e.g., cannabis): 150 baht Shipping fee: 50 baht (applies to all services) To get started, patients scan a LINE QR code to connect with the clinic and receive instructions by video or text. Then, they’re asked to record a short video clearly showing their face, while stating their full name, age, health conditions, drug allergies, and symptoms. They also submit a brief written summary of their symptoms and a photo of themselves holding their ID card or passport. Once this is completed, the doctor sends a QR code linking to a Google Form where the patient confirms their information and selects which services they need. After submitting the form, the requested documents are prepared and mailed within five to seven business days. -

Crime Daylight Shooting: Ex-Convict Gunned Down in Front of Home, Gold Chain Clutched in Hand
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 29-year-old man was shot dead in broad daylight outside his family home in Tha Sala District, just weeks after being released from prison on drug charges. The victim was found clutching a broken gold necklace in his hand, suggesting a violent struggle before his death. Police were called to the scene at approximately 15:30 on 8 July, after reports of gunfire at a residence in Moo 11, Mokhlan Subdistrict, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Responding officers, led by Pol Lt Narongchai Khongchuay of Tha Sala Police Station, arrived alongside senior police officials, forensic teams, medical personnel, and the Pracharuamjai Foundation rescue unit. The victim, Mr. Ittiphat, was found lying dead in front of the property, wearing black shorts and a black T-shirt. He had sustained five gunshot wounds from a .38 calibre firearm, to the head and torso. In his left hand, he was tightly gripping a broken gold necklace weighing approximately one baht, believed to have been torn during a scuffle. A spent bullet and metal fragments were also recovered from inside the home, which is situated within a gated area housing two properties. According to Mr. Amornsak, the victim’s father, his son sold bananas and pineapples from a stall set up in front of the house. At the time of the incident, he was about 40 metres away and noticed two men arrive on a red motorcycle, one wearing a helmet, the other a hooded jacket. Initially, he saw nothing suspicious. Moments later gunshots rang out shortly after the pair fled. Police suspect the attackers may have attempted to rob or confront the victim, who possibly resisted and grabbed one of the assailant’s necklaces during the altercation. Officers are now pursuing the suspects and reviewing CCTV footage from the area. Initial investigations revealed that Mr. Ittiphat had recently been released from prison for drug-related offences and was living with his mother and her new partner at the family home. His father, now separated from the mother, lives in a neighbouring house. Reports suggest that the victim continued to use drugs following his release, which had caused family tension. Police are investigating two possible motives: a conflict with a drug gang or a domestic dispute. Investigators are working to gather additional evidence and eyewitness testimony in the hunt for the perpetrators. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-10 -

Transport Over 20 Speed Bumps Spark Public Outcry in Ratchaburi Village
Did you ever see an accident when someone decides to run the red light but the car/truck in front of them doesn't? The worst motorbike accident I ever had was when I went over the speed bump on the far left but a young girl on a bike behind me decided to do the end run around and crashed into me. -
