Sujin Kulchanarong, also known as Teacher Jinnie Phutai, a renowned Thai country music composer and arranger, has been hospitalised following a severe fire accident at his home in Muang district, Khon Kaen.

 

The incident has resulted in serious burns to his face and neck, affecting his windpipe. He is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Bangkok Hospital, Khon Kaen, where he is responsive and able to communicate.

 

Yesterday afternoon, Sujin was preparing to burn rubbish in his backyard. Most of the waste was damp leaves, so he used benzine to assist in the burning process. Unfortunately, the flames engulfed his face and neck, causing severe injuries. His family quickly rushed him to Bangkok Hospital, Khon Kaen for immediate treatment. After stabilising him, doctors decided to monitor his condition in the ICU due to the severity of his burns and the impact on his windpipe.

 

His wife, Phinya Phatchayakunchanarong, who operates under the Facebook name Oong Eing Phu Thai Record, has been updating the public about her husband’s condition.

No, no, no!! As he now understands. If you really must use an accelerant, use diesel!

 

I really hope he makes a full recovery.

Never a good idea to throw petrol on a fire. Maybe nobody told him.

Many moons ago in England my then missus used a petrol can to help start a bonfire at the end of the garden.... watching her erratic movements I wondered what she was doing, she emerged from behind a tree running towards the house  with the can in her hand, and a very visible flame coming from the petrol can spout.

I shouted form the safety of the kitchen... put the ####ing can down.
