Landslide Destroys 3 Houses in Surat Thani: Father Mourns 16-Year-Old Son’s Death
Picture from responders. A heavy overnight downpour triggered a landslide early morning on December 16, in Surat Thani, collapsing onto three homes and killing a 16-year-old boy in his bedroom. The incident occurred at 04:40 in Moo 2, Wat Pradu Subdistrict, Mueang District, at a row of single-story houses in Surat Villa Village. Rescue workers and local officials responded to reports of a landslide burying a house at 65/53, leaving one person trapped and one injured. Mr. Duangphitak Singkaew, 47, was rescued from the debris, but his 16-year-old son, Mr. Worakit Singkaew, was tragically found dead in the rubble of their bedroom. Rescue workers discovered his body crushed under debris on the bed. He was taken to Surat Thani Hospital for autopsy as his grief-stricken father and neighbours looked on. Preliminary investigations revealed that the landslide destroyed three houses. These houses were located at the base of a slope where a luxury housing project is under construction. The collapse of retaining walls, concrete slabs, and trees caused the debris to inundate bedrooms, rooftops, and kitchens. Mud and water continued to flow down intermittently, prompting local officials to declare the area a danger zone and evacuate nearby residents. Eyewitnesses reported that the slope was originally covered with rubber plantations and forested areas, which helped stabilize the soil. However, ongoing construction to clear the land for new housing has led to repeated landslides. Even without rain, water sometimes flows down from the slope like a small waterfall. On December 14, heavy rains triggered a previous landslide in the same village, damaging houses in Soi 5 and causing injuries. Residents had already reported concerns to the local authorities, urging them to halt construction and address the instability of the slope. Despite these warnings, construction continues. Residents are now calling for a thorough investigation into the construction activities and demanding compensation for the damages. They also insist on stronger action to prevent further tragedies. Meanwhile, heavy rains across Surat Thani continue to cause widespread flooding, displacing residents and inundating homes. Authorities are working urgently to provide assistance and relocate affected residents. -- 2024-12-17 -

Van Runs Red Light, Crashes into Motorcycle, Killing Rider on the Spot
Picture captured from dash-cam. A crash occurred when a van carrying passengers back from a merit-making and meditation trip ran a red light and crashed into a motorcycle, killing the rider instantly. The collision took place at around 23:00 on the night of 15 December at a four-way intersection near the Public Health Office in Suwannaphum District, Roi Et Province. Police Lieutenant Chai Thong Wintachai, Deputy Inspector of Suwannaphum Police Station, was alerted to the incident and coordinated with the on-call doctor from Suwannaphum Hospital and local rescue volunteers to respond to the scene. At the site, a heavily damaged orange Honda motorcycle was found. Nearby lay the body of the rider, identified as Mr. Thawatchai, 29 years old. His face sustained severe injuries. Approximately 40 metres away, a white Toyota Commuter van with license plates from Amnat Charoen Province was parked on the roadside. The van had noticeable damage, including a shattered side passenger window. The driver, Mr. Onchan, 50 years old, admitted to operating the van at the time of the collision. Initial investigations and footage from a dashboard camera of a bystander revealed that Mr. Onchan was driving the van carrying 12 passengers back from a meditation retreat in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. When approaching the intersection, the van moved into the far-left lane, typically reserved for left turns, and turned on its hazard lights while proceeding straight through the red light. Simultaneously, Mr. Thawatchai was riding his motorcycle through a green light from the left-hand side of the intersection. This led to a violent collision with the left side of the van, resulting in Mr. Thawatchai’s immediate death. Police have taken Mr. Onchan into custody and charged him with reckless driving causing death. Investigations are ongoing. -- 2024-12-17 -
