Brake Malfunction Mistaken for Bus Fire: Passengers Safely Evacuated in Chiang Rai
Picture from responders. At approximately 20:30 on December 3, authorities were alerted to an incident involving a Green Bus traveling the Chiang Rai-Chiang Mai route. Initially reported as a fire, the situation was later confirmed to be caused by a brake malfunction in the rear left wheel, which generated thick smoke. The bus, carrying 32 passengers, mostly foreign tourists, was forced to pull over near a Bangchak gas station in Pa Ngio Subdistrict, Wiang Pa Pao District, Chiang Rai, after drivers of trailing vehicles signalled for it to stop. Acting swiftly, the driver evacuated all passengers from the bus to prevent any potential harm. Local emergency services, including the Pa Ngio Municipality’s Disaster Prevention Unit, Wiang Pa Pao Police Traffic Unit, Sawang Thammasathan Rescue Unit, and Amarin Tai Rescue Team, quickly arrived at the scene. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The passengers faced initial challenges due to language barriers, as the bus driver could not communicate effectively with the foreign tourists. However, a local volunteer stepped in to explain the situation and reassure the passengers. Arrangements were made to dispatch a replacement bus, but it required a waiting period of 1-2 hours. Recognising the passengers’ needs, Pa Ngio Municipality’s Deputy Mayor coordinated the provision of food and drinking water for all 32 passengers during the wait. The municipal officers and police remained on-site to ensure the passengers’ safety until the replacement bus arrived and resumed the journey to Chiang Mai. The Green Bus Company has been urged to inspect its fleet to prevent similar incidents, and the passengers have expressed gratitude for the swift response and care provided by local authorities. -- 2024-12-05 -

France Faces Unprecedented Crisis as Le Pen Targets Macron
I don't have much interest in France, but for some reason that guy, like his fellow traveler in Canada, Trudeau, and the visible members of the EU leadership raises my hackles. To misquote Churchill, never in history have so many been ruled by so few incompetents. -

On that I wish her success. Long after time that little sniveller got the order of the boot. I'm not familiar with her policies, but hopefully she ends the EU's open door to illegals from the south. -

Deputy School Director Found Dead in Forest Near Prachantakham Waterfall
Picture from responders. Tragedy struck when the lifeless body of a 43-year-old deputy school director was discovered in the forest near the Takro Waterfall in Prachantakham district, Prachinburi province. The man, identified as Mr. Wichai, had been missing since the afternoon of December 3, 2024. On the morning of December 4, Pol. Sub-Lt. Sombat Wangwon, an investigator from Prachantakham Police Station, received a report from Khao Yai National Park rangers at Checkpoint 10 (Takro Waterfall) regarding the discovery of a body. Authorities, including rescue volunteers and a medical examiner from Prachantakham Hospital, rushed to the scene. The body was found approximately 300 metres inside the forested area near the waterfall in Moo 8, Buphai Subdistrict. A gray Isuzu pickup truck, believed to belong to the deceased, was parked near the trail leading to the waterfall. The man, dressed in a yellow T-shirt, gray shorts, and black sandals, was found hanging from a tree branch with a nylon rope. Authorities estimated that he had been dead for over 12 hours. Investigations revealed that Mr. Wichai had left his home in Sri Maha Phot district on the afternoon of December 3. His last known location was near Takro Waterfall, as indicated by mobile tracking. CCTV footage from a shop about one kilometre from the waterfall captured him purchasing items at 13:48 on December 3. He bought two bottles of water, a bottle of soda, and a pink bottle of bathroom cleaner. Witnesses noted that he appeared cheerful during the purchase. A park ranger working near the waterfall reported seeing the parked truck early on December 4. Uncertain of its owner, he ventured into the forest to investigate and found Mr. Wichai's body in a standing position, resembling someone urinating. Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that he had hanged himself. Water bottles were found nearby, believed to belong to the deceased. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the circumstances leading to the incident. The discovery has left the local community in shock, as Mr. Wichai was a respected educator in the area. Police are awaiting further forensic results and statements from the deceased's family to understand the motives behind the tragedy. -- 2024-12-05 -
