Community Rescue Teams Wade Through Floodwaters to Evacuate Patient in Ayutthaya as Chao Phraya Rises
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Rising water levels downstream of the Chao Phraya Dam have caused flooding in several communities in Ayutthaya province, prompting emergency rescue operations, including the evacuation of an elderly patient in need of urgent medical care. On 1 June, local authorities reported that the Chao Phraya Dam was maintaining a discharge rate of 1,100 cubic metres per second. This has led to increased water levels in the Chao Phraya River and its tributary, the Noi River, which in turn has overflowed into low-lying areas outside official flood defences. In Sena district, particularly in the subdistricts of Ban Krathum and Hua Wiang, floodwaters have risen to between 50 and 60 centimetres, inundating homes and making access routes impassable. In Moo 7, Ban Krathum subdistrict, the situation became critical when floodwaters reached the ground floors of homes and the only access roads to the village. Members of the Ayutthaya Ruamjai Rescue Association had to wade through deep water and use boats to reach a 66-year-old resident, Mrs. Sunan Praditsorn. She was suffering from a high fever and a severe leg infection, believed to have been caused by prolonged exposure to floodwater while retrieving belongings. Rescue workers carefully evacuated Mrs. Sunan from her flooded home and transported her to hospital for treatment. Local officials are closely monitoring the situation as communities outside the flood embankments remain vulnerable. Authorities have urged residents in affected zones to stay alert and avoid unnecessary exposure to the floodwaters, which may contain harmful bacteria and debris. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by riverside communities, during periods of heavy dam discharge and underscores the importance of coordinated emergency response efforts.

Crime Man Gunned Down Outside Mall While Waiting to Pick Up Girlfriend on Her Last Day at Work
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 50-year-old man was brutally shot dead outside a shopping mall in Bueng Sam Phan district, Phetchabun, while waiting to collect his girlfriend from her final shift at a part-time job. The fatal shooting occurred around 19:00 on 1 June. Police from Bueng Sam Phan Station, along with emergency medical staff from Bueng Sam Phan Hospital and rescue workers, rushed to the scene in Moo 4, Bueng Sam Phan subdistrict, following reports of gunfire. Officers arrived to find the victim, Mr. Sathit, lying on his back in a pool of blood next to the door of his white Mazda sedan, registration from Phetchabun. He had sustained three gunshot wounds to the head, reportedly fired with a .45 calibre pistol. Several spent shell casings were recovered from the scene. CCTV footage captured the harrowing moment: Mr. Sathit, having parked to wait for his girlfriend, was returning to his vehicle when a gunman calmly walked up from behind and fired multiple shots at close range. The shooter then fled to a waiting white Ford four-door pickup truck, parked near a roadside bus shelter on Highway 21 (Saraburi-Lom Sak route), and escaped. The vehicle’s registration remains unknown. A nearby shop owner, who witnessed the incident, described the scene. “I was selling drinks in my shop when I heard gunshots, four of them. My partner and I immediately ducked. I saw a man shooting another right as he was about to get into his car. It was terrifying,” she said. “The victim’s girlfriend worked part-time at the mall. Today was her last day.” Mr. Sathit’s father, who resides in Phu Toei subdistrict, expressed his disbelief. “He was just picking up his girlfriend from work. He was cheerful, kind and never had conflicts with anyone, as far as I know,” he told reporters. When asked if he suspected anyone, he said he had his doubts but declined to speculate at this stage. Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage and appealing for witnesses. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and a full investigation is underway.

Accident Man Found Dead in Water Pit at Udon Thani Railway Housing
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A man believed to be in his 40s or 50s was found dead and bloated in a disused water pit near the old railway staff quarters in Udon Thani, sparking fears among local homeless residents who believe the site may be cursed. Emergency services were alerted early on 2 June after a homeless individual, who had been living in the disused housing compound near the railway station, spotted the body floating face-down in the water. Police investigators, rescue personnel from the Udon Thani Tham Foundation and forensic staff from Udon Thani Hospital quickly arrived at the scene, located in the Nong Lek community area next to the train tracks. The deceased man, known only by the name “James,” had been seen frequently around the railway compound but was not known personally to the residents. He was found in a shallow water pit in front of the now-abandoned staff housing, scheduled for demolition. Initial inspections found no signs of a struggle or suspicious items at the scene. The body was recovered and sent to Udon Thani Hospital’s forensic unit for formal identification and post-mortem examination. Authorities are attempting to locate the man’s family to claim the body. One homeless resident who lives nearby told investigators that James had been seen just the day before walking around the area. He speculated that the man may have slipped and fallen into the pit during the night, as the body was not visible when residents came to draw water earlier that day. Another long-term resident, known as “Pee Phen,” who has lived in the area for over seven years, claimed that she often hears eerie splashing sounds at night, as if someone were playing in the water. She also reported glimpsing strange shadowy figures near the pit. According to her, the pit has long been regarded with suspicion and she believes it may be haunted by spirits, a belief rooted in Thai folklore. “I’ve always felt a strange energy here,” she said. “Sometimes I see something flash by, like a presence. The elders used to say there are spirits in these waters.” While authorities have yet to confirm the cause of death, the story has sparked renewed local fears about the supposedly haunted location, to what appears, for now, to be an accidental death.
