Elderly Man Dies After Tripping into Ditch in Ubon Ratchathani
Picture from responders Authorities responded to a distress call from the 191 Emergency Centre regarding a fatal incident near the Ubon Ratchathani Teachers’ Savings Cooperative, close to the Non Hong Thong Intersection. Upon arrival, rescue personnel discovered the lifeless body of a man, approximately 70 years old, lying down a concrete slope with his face submerged in the water of a ditch below. Initial reports suggest the man was walking along the road above the ditch when he tripped and fell. The impact of the fall is believed to have knocked him unconscious, leaving his body resting on the concrete slope with only his face in the water. Tragically, no witnesses were present at the time of the incident to assist the victim or pull him to safety, as the water in the ditch was very shallow, Rescue workers recovered the body and transported it to the Sappasitthiprasong Hospital’s Forensic Institute for an autopsy, following the orders of the investigating officer. The police are continuing to investigate the precise cause of the incident and will review CCTV footage from the area to gather additional evidence. -- 2024-12-21 -

Thaksin Outlines Vision for Transforming Thailand's Northeast
File photo courtesy: Facebook sorrayuth9115 In a speech at Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has unveiled an ambitious new vision for the Isaan region. Speaking under the theme "The Future of Isaan: Opportunities for Thailand," Thaksin called for sweeping changes across education, technology, and economic policies to rejuvenate the oft-overlooked Northeastern Thailand. Stressing the significance of education, Thaksin proposed creating a university focused on human development in Isaan. This institution would prioritise practical knowledge alongside traditional learning, with a strong emphasis on integrating technology. "Education should not stop at degrees," he remarked, "It should empower Isaan people to thrive in a modern economy." Innovative ideas, like using lottery funds to either send students abroad or bring foreign teachers into summer camps, formed part of his educational strategy. Thaksin referenced his earlier successes with model schools and suggested these could be revived to foster a new generation of skilled workers. Thaksin didn't shy away from critiquing existing practices such as monopolistic approaches in critical sectors like rice exports. He urged the government to harness technology, enabling local farmers to reach international markets through e-commerce. This shift could drastically reduce intermediaries and increase profits at the grassroots level. Further, he proposed modernising the OTOP (One Tambon One Product) programme with AI and soft power techniques, which would bolster Isaan as a competitive hub. Universities, envisioned as centres for AI learning, could drive this initiative, equipping locals with the skills necessary for a changing economic landscape. Tackling Thailand’s ballooning public debt—over 60% of GDP—Thaksin suggested issuing public-oriented cryptocurrency-backed bonds. This maneuver could inject needed capital into regional economies, potentially increasing GDP growth from the current 2% to a robust 4%. He highlighted the financial imbalances where profits are siphoned to Bangkok, leaving Isaan economically parched, implying bonds tailored for Isaan might just provide the financial liberation the region needs. Labour migration remains a pressing issue, with skilled workers flocking to Bangkok for better opportunities. Thaksin proposed strengthening local job creation and enhancing educational prospects to lure talent back. Finally, addressing alarming drug abuse rates among the youth, Thaksin cited current governmental efforts to curb this trend through proactive measures, underscoring that social development must go hand in hand with economic reforms. Thaksin’s vision represents a comprehensive plan to elevate Isaan, aiming to maximise its potential by addressing both structural and societal challenges head-on. With these reforms, Isaan may very well be on the cusp of a revitalisation, reported The Nation. -- 2024-12-21 -
