Driver Escapes After Car Crashes into Canal in Bang Kuntian
Picture from responders. A driver narrowly escaped injury after his car skidded off the road and plunged into the canal in Bang Kuntian, Chom Thong district, Bangkok, on 22nd December. Police Lieutenant Colonel Karawit Supathat of the Bang Kuntian Police Station received a call about a car crash near the Bang Kuntian Canal Bridge. Responding to the incident, authorities, including the local fire service, rescue workers from the Dao Kha Nong Foundation, and members of the Poh Tek Tung Foundation, rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the white Honda Brio fully submerged in the 10-meter wide canal. The driver, a man employed as a waste collection worker at the Klong San District Office, was trapped inside. Local residents, who had witnessed the crash, managed to break open the window and help free the driver, who suffered minor injuries. He was quickly taken to Suksawat Hospital for treatment. At the scene, officials discovered damage to the concrete curb of the canal’s edge, indicating that the vehicle had likely brushed against it before falling into the water. Firefighters used air pillows to stabilise the vehicle, followed by a crane to retrieve it from the water, which took approximately two hours. The car’s front bumper was severely damaged, and the left front wheel was broken, suggesting that the driver had collided with the curb before plunging into the canal. Witness Narit Suwansit, 30, recalled the moment the accident occurred. He was fishing with friends and family when he heard a loud crash. “At first, I thought it was something else, but then I saw the car hit the pier and plunge into the water,” Narit said. “I quickly told my friend to grab a stone and smash the window to help the driver. We managed to pull him out, and I called for emergency services.” Narit, who understands the importance of having a vehicle for work, expressed satisfaction at being able to help. “I know what it’s like to rely on a car, so when I saw someone in trouble, I had to help.” According to the driver’s neighbour, Somkid Akka, 40, the injured man typically left for work around 4 a.m. and returned home by late afternoon. Somkid believes the accident may have been caused by the driver speeding and possibly shifting into the wrong gear while attempting a U-turn at the crash site. Police have yet to determine the exact cause of the crash and plan to summon the driver for further questioning. Investigations are ongoing. -- 2024-12-23 -

Drunken Foreigner Causes Panic in Pattaya, Wandering Half Naked & Armed with a Knife
Running around naked at 1 am in the morning, knocking on people's doors and causing havok while wielding a knife is criminal behavior and, in my opinion, no joke. No one should be exposed to this behaviour, especially children and the elderly. This self-entitled garbage Individual should be fined, jailed and deported. There is no place for these types of tourists. -

21-Year-Old Sets Fire to Rental Units in Buriram After Consuming Drugs, Destroying 6 Units
Picture from responders. A fire engulfed six single-storey rental units, used as homes, in Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province on December 22. The blaze, which originated from one of the homes, was reportedly started by a 21-year-old man under the influence of drugs. Police Lieutenant Suphakrit Noptalung, an investigator from Prakhon Chai Police Station, received a report of a fire at the Old Market commercial area in Prakhon Chai Municipality. The densely populated area prompted authorities to mobilise over 10 fire engines from the district and nearby areas to contain the blaze. Despite their efforts, the fire spread rapidly to neighbouring units, causing extensive damage. Firefighters managed to bring the flames under control after 45 minutes, but six homes were severely damaged, with all belongings destroyed. The suspect, identified as Mr. Natthawut Noptalung, was found sitting outside the burning units, laughing and watching the flames consume the buildings. Fearing he might flee, police officers approached and detained him. During questioning, Mr. Natthawut admitted to setting the fire. He claimed to have used a lighter to ignite his mother’s sarong inside the house. Once it caught fire, he threw it around the room, causing the fire to spread uncontrollably. He confessed to leaving the house and watching the fire spread but could not explain his motive. According to the suspect’s grandmother, Ms. Ruean Kaikaew, 67, who shared the rental unit with him and his mother, Mr. Natthawut had a history of drug use, including kratom and cannabis. She suspected that he had consumed an excessive amount, which may have triggered hallucinations and erratic behaviour. Witnesses reported chaotic scenes as tenants from neighbouring units fled with their belongings to escape the fire. Many expressed shock at seeing Mr. Natthawut sitting across the street, laughing as he observed the destruction. Police have taken Mr. Natthawut into custody for further questioning at Prakhon Chai Police Station. If sufficient evidence is gathered, he is expected to face charges of arson, which carries severe penalties under Thai law. Authorities are continuing their investigation and assessing the damage caused by the fire, which has left multiple families displaced and traumatised. -- 2024-12-23 -

Black mould after recent wet weather.
100% the best thing to use to kill black mould is tea tree oil. In a 500 ml spray bottle, mix water with two teaspoons of tea tree oil (you can get it on Lazada). This is hands down the very best way to kill mould. Because it's natural, there seems to be a lack of awareness about how bad mould is for your health. It's terrible and ongoing exposure to mould can cause all sorts of health issues. So do everything you possibly can to kill it! -

I want to be a teacher
Becoming a teacher? How do you think you can get this profession? Because it's Christmas? And Santa will give it as a gift? Did you learn it at University? Or do you thinking to be a Wannabe, as many here? And age is indeed an obstacle when over 65.
