Chinese Paragliding Dies in Crash in Phetchabun
UPDATE Paragliding Activities Halted at Phu Thap Boek After Chinese Tourist’s Fatal Crash File picture for reference only. Authorities have suspended paragliding activities at Phu Thap Boek following a crash that claimed the life of a Chinese tourist. The incident, which involved a 56-year-old paragliding enthusiast from Jiangsu Province, China, occurred when his parachute failed mid-flight, causing him to plummet to the ground. The accident took place in Ban Phruan, Lom Kao District, Phetchabun, on the evening of December 5. Preliminary investigations revealed that the paragliding operations at Phu Thap Boek had not received the necessary permissions from relevant authorities. The deceased, Mr. Huang Hao, entered Thailand on a tourist visa and was part of a group of more than ten international paragliding enthusiasts participating in recreational flights. Thai organisers facilitated these activities by arranging transport, accommodations, and flight logistics, despite the lack of proper authorisation. The flying route typically begins from a cliff at Phu Thap Boek and ends in a flat area in Wang Ban Subdistrict. Authorities have requested all paragliders to suspend their activities indefinitely. As of today, no paragliders have been seen operating in the area. Police in Lom Kao are facing challenges in communicating with the paragliding group due to language barriers and fear of legal repercussions. The group entered Thailand on tourist visas without declaring their intent to engage in paragliding, which may lead to further legal complications. The deceased’s body is currently at Somdet Phra Yupparat Lom Kao Hospital, awaiting coordination with the Chinese Embassy in Thailand to notify the family and address insurance claims. Phetchabun Governor Saran Yu Meethongkam has instructed the provincial tourist assistance centre to liaise with the Chinese Embassy to ensure the necessary procedures are followed. Phu Thap Boek, renowned for its stunning views and an elevation of approximately 800 metres, has been a popular paragliding destination for international enthusiasts. Over the past three years, Thai organisers have consistently arranged paragliding trips in the area, despite past crashes involving paragliders. This latest tragedy raises concerns about the safety and regulatory oversight of such activities. Local authorities are now working to ensure stricter enforcement of regulations and prevent future incidents. -- 2024-12-07 -

Pickup Truck Overturns in Kanchanaburi, Injuring 11 Students and Teachers
Picture from responders. A pickup truck carrying students, teachers, and parents overturned near Muang Mai Curve in Nong Lu Subdistrict, Sangkhlaburi District, Kanchanaburi leaving 11 injured, including four in critical condition. The accident occurred at 18.20 on December 6, as the group traveled to a traditional rice harvest festival in Ban Tilai Pa village. The truck, a blue Toyota 4WD, lost control at the sharp curve and overturned, scattering passengers and belongings across the road. Police from Sangkhlaburi Station were notified and coordinated with local rescue teams to assist at the scene. Emergency responders transported the injured to nearby hospitals, with the critically injured requiring transfer to advanced medical facilities. Preliminary investigations revealed the vehicle was carrying one teacher, nine students from Udomsithisuksa School, and two parents. The driver, who sustained minor injuries, claimed the crash occurred because the truck failed to navigate the curve. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the incident and are reviewing potential legal actions. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of transporting groups in rural areas on open pickups, particularly on challenging roads like Muang Mai Curve. -- 2024-12-07 -
