Accident Seven-Year-Old Girl Bitten by Venomous Snake While Playing Hide-and-Seek
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A seven-year-old girl from Buriram narrowly escaped death after being bitten by a highly venomous snake while playing hide-and-seek near her relative’s house. The child was fortunate to receive medical treatment just in time after being transferred to a provincial hospital. The incident occurred on the morning of 30 April, when young Smile, a 7-year-old girl, was playing hide-and-seek with her younger brother and friends in an overgrown garden near her relative’s home in Ban Nong Wa, Nong Waeng subdistrict. While hiding beneath a longan tree surrounded by thick vegetation, she was bitten on the middle finger of her left hand by a snake later identified as a Malayan krait (known locally as ngoo thap samingkhla), one of the most venomous species in Thailand. The child’s grandmother, Mrs. Jumphathong Namsanga, 53, was nearby caring for another grandchild when the younger brother ran to inform her of the bite. Mrs. Jumphathong quickly brought Smile to the local health centre, located less than a kilometre away. Medical staff there recommended urgent transfer to the district hospital. Although Smile was showing signs of fatigue and pain, she remained conscious and responsive. Her mother, Ms. Panadda, 30, who had been working in the fields, rushed home and drove her daughter 12 kilometres on a motorbike to Lahan Sai Hospital. However, Lahan Sai Hospital had no antivenom available, nor did the nearby Nang Rong Hospital. As a result, the medical team arranged an immediate emergency transfer to Buriram Provincial Hospital. Thanks to the child’s clear description of the snake’s black and white markings, doctors quickly identified the species and administered the appropriate antivenom. Medical staff confirmed that the Malayan krait’s venom can be fatal if not treated promptly. The girl’s condition has since stabilised, and doctors have discharged her with instructions to monitor for side effects over the next week. A follow-up check will confirm whether any venom remains in her system. Following the incident, the family has urged other parents to remain vigilant, especially in areas with dense vegetation. The girl’s grandmother has since cleared the overgrown area to prevent similar incidents in the future. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-02. -

Crime Thai Coffee Mogul Prayudh Gets 24-Year Sentence for Land Scandal
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World Thai billionaire Prayudh Mahagitsiri, known as a coffee kingpin, will serve 24 years in prison after the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases found him guilty of involvement in illegal land deed issuance in Nakhon Ratchasima's Sikhio district. The scandal centres around the manipulation of land rights in reserved forest areas. His daughter, Usana, will serve 12 years for the same crime. At the heart of the case is the illegal acquisition of land for his Mountain Creek golf course – a business owned by his company, Thainox Stainless Co., Ltd. The Court's findings suggest a collaboration with Land Department officials, enabling Prayudh to obtain title deeds for more than 30 hectares of protected land. These were integrated into his resort's existing 369 hectares, significantly expanding his business. Prayudh's fortune came from a wide spectrum of ventures, including his prominent status in the Thai coffee industry. With a net worth pegged at $2.6 billion as of 2025, equivalent to nearly THB 95 billion, he ranks tenth among Thailand's wealthiest individuals and holds the 1,462nd spot on Forbes' global billionaires list. The court's decision marks a significant development in curbing corporate malpractice linked to influential business figures in Thailand. The ruling reflects ongoing efforts by Thai authorities to address corruption, particularly in land-related frauds. Despite the substantial sentence, it is yet to be seen how these convictions will impact Prayudh’s broader business empire. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-05-02 -
