Three Family Members Killed in Pickup Truck Collision in Nonthaburi
Picture from responders. Three members of a family lost their lives, and two young children were injured after their pickup truck crashed into the rear of a parked lorry in Bang Bua Thong district early morning. At 07:45 on 2 February, police from Bang Bua Thong Police Station, along with rescue teams from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation and the Bua Phet Rescue Association, responded to reports of a fatal collision on Highway 345 near the Kanchanaphisek Road interchange. Upon arrival, officers discovered a heavily damaged Mitsubishi pickup truck, registration from Nonthaburi, carrying a large load of fresh vegetables. Inside the wreckage, three family members were found deceased: the male driver, his younger sister who was trapped in the passenger seat, and a female relative who was thrown from the vehicle. Two injured children, a one-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl, were rescued and rushed to Pak Kret 2 Hospital for medical treatment. The collision involved a 22-wheel lorry, registration from Nonthaburi. The lorry had been parked on the roadside since 05:00, as the driver, Sitthisak, 49, was waiting to deliver cement pipes to a nearby construction site. He stated that he had been resting in his vehicle when he was jolted awake by a powerful impact from behind. Upon inspecting the scene, he found the pickup truck had ran into the back of his lorry and immediately called emergency services for assistance. Relatives of the deceased revealed that the family operated a rice and curry stall in a factory area in Bang Bua Thong. They had travelled to Talad Thai market early in the morning to purchase fresh vegetables, a routine they followed every Sunday. Police have documented the scene and interviewed the lorry driver. Further investigations, including reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas, are underway. Forensic experts from the Institute of Forensic Science also assessed the incident before the bodies were removed from the vehicle. -- 2025-02-03 -

Thai PM Unveils Policies and Achievements in First TV Address
Picture courtesy: AMARIN TV In her inaugural monthly television broadcast on Sunday, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra laid out her administration's early-year progress while outlining future goals. The programme, dubbed "Okat Thai Kap Nayok Paetongtarn" or "Opportunities for Thailand with Prime Minister Paetongtarn," aims to keep the public informed about government actions and developments. It airs on the first Sunday of each month on the government-run NBT HD2 channel. Opening with healthcare, she highlighted the recent upgrade to the country's universal healthcare scheme. As of 1 January, Thai citizens can now seek medical services anywhere in the country under the enhanced 30-baht scheme. This change represents the government's commitment to improving access to healthcare for all. The Prime Minister also outlined the government's One District, One Scholarship programme, which is set to extend its reach. The initiative will now offer funding for summer camps to one student in each district, broadening educational opportunities beyond just the top-ranking students. "Everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow," she asserted, envisioning long-term benefits for Thailand's future. Continuing on the theme of societal improvement, Paetongtarn discussed the Ban Pheu Khon Thai project. This housing initiative, launched on 17 January, aims to provide affordable quality homes on state land, featuring good transport links and payment plans starting at approximately 4,000 Baht per month (around £90). Notably, the project requires no down payment, offering leases capped at 99 years, which has already garnered a positive reception from potential homeowners. In what she described as a landmark achievement, she celebrated the enactment of the marriage equality law on 23 January. Recognising nearly two decades of advocacy work, she praised the efforts of those who contributed to this landmark legislation, emphasizing Thailand's commitment to equality and inclusivity. During her address, the Prime Minister also reflected on her recent attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos. There, she seized the opportunity to promote investment in Thailand, marking the Thailand Reception as a significant success. The fight against air pollution was another focal point. Despite extensive planning and initiatives, such as free public transport to reduce vehicle emissions, PM2.5 levels remain problematic. The free electric rail and public bus services have already led to a reduction of 500,000 vehicles on the roads, evidencing a positive impact on emissions. Paetongtarn also highlighted collaboration with ASEAN leaders to tackle transboundary pollution, reported Bangkok Post. Finally, addressing public curiosity regarding her clothing choices, she emphasized her dedication to ensuring governmental work meets public satisfaction, underscoring her genuine priority for Thailand's progress over personal appearances. -- 2025-02-03
