Two Women Die in Fatal Road Crash in Nakhon Ratchasima
Picture from responders. Tragedy struck on a railway crossing in Huai Thalaeng district, Nakhon Ratchasima, as two women involved in a collision between a pickup truck and a motorcycle succumbed to their injuries despite initial medical intervention. The accident occurred at 11:45 on January 3, when emergency services from Hook 31 Huai Thalaeng received a report of a crash involving a blue motorcycle and a pickup truck loaded with vegetables. The women on the motorcycle had attempted an illegal U-turn at the base of a bridge. The motorcycle’s rider, Mrs Nimnuan Humthaisong, 62, and her passenger, Mrs Wanpen Teepthaisong, 50, both from Moo 2, Mueang Phlapphla subdistrict, suffered critical injuries after the pickup truck, driven by Mr Thanapol Kueram, from Buriram, struck their vehicle. Mrs Nimnuan and Mrs Wanpen were residents of the same community. One casualty, the passenger, was found thrown from the motorcycle onto the road. The rider was stuck in the shattered windscreen, with the bonnet crumpled onto her. Hook 31 responders rushed the victims to Huai Thalaeng Hospital for emergency care. Both women were later pronounced dead, shortly after arriving. The crash site was promptly attended by senior police officers, including Pol. Col. It Bunyarit, Superintendent of Huai Thalaeng Police Station; Pol. Lt. Col. Punyapong Lertmallikaporn, Deputy Superintendent; and Pol. Lt. Nopadon Klawacha, investigating officer. Investigations are underway to establish the precise cause of the incident. -- 2025-01-04 -

Foreign men attack Phuket taxi driver over fare dispute - video
I am not defending Thai taxi drivers because in general they are all <deleted>. The use a Bolt app so know exactly what the fare will be. Am I correct in saying that? How would they think the taxi driver takes them to to the supermarket for free? Why did they not go inside the hotel and ask to change money there? The whole saga sounds suss. I personally would not get into a taxi without knowing I had enough money. I had my share of dramas with Thai taxis at airports. Bangkok tried to introduce the 50 baht booking fee but that just adds 50 baht and in most cases the argument start because they refuse to use meters. These days I use Bell to Pattaya and if I am going to Bangkok use skytrain.Last time I was in Phuket it was a fixed fare . -

American on Dirt Bike Kills Thai Woman Crossing Road in Chiang Mai
Isn’t the principle “innocent until proven guilty” still important? The details of the accident aren’t fully clear based on the information provided in the story. Let’s hold off on jumping to conclusions and allow the evidence to be presented before passing judgment.- 1

Three British Teens Among 11 Hurt as Tree Falls on Thai Bus
Picture courtesy: MGR online In a shocking incident in Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, a tree felled by an illegal logger crashed onto a passing bus, injuring eleven people, including three British teens. The dramatic accident occurred as the tourists were en route to the popular Erawan Waterfall. British nationals Biba Rose Waddell, 19, from London, Sophia Rose Alice Ridehalgh, 19, from Welwyn Garden City, and Sasha Chloe Hayes, 18, from Oxford, were among the passengers aboard the ill-fated bus when the tree trunk slammed onto its roof. The bus driver narrowly avoided a catastrophic plunge down a hillside, bringing the vehicle to a halt mere feet from the edge. Picture courtesy: MGR online Police officers from Lat Ya Police Station rushed to the scene on Highway No. 3199 following the incident, which was reported around 10 am. They discovered that a large wormwood tree had crashed onto the bus, shattering the windshield and causing panic among the 36 passengers inside, most of whom were foreign tourists, reported LIam Buckler for MIrror. ABUS.mp4 Lieutenant Colonel Maneephat Pengklet noted that a total of eleven individuals sustained injuries from shattered glass and falling branches. All injured parties, including the British teens, were immediately transported to Synphaet Hospital for treatment. Most suffered minor injuries, but one Canadian tourist, Jaime Michelle Mitchell, 45, was taken to the Intensive Care Unit with more serious injuries and fitted with a neck brace. In a supportive gesture, Thawatchai Wiriyajit from the local land transport office stated that authorities would cover the medical expenses incurred by the patients. Picture courtesy: MGR online Early investigations suggest that the tree may have been deliberately cut down by an illegal logger, as evidenced by nearby sawdust and cut marks on the tree. Paitoon Inthabut, Chief of Salak Phra Wildlife Sanctuary, confirmed that rangers had been dispatched to apprehend the suspect, who is believed to reside in the vicinity. Subsequently, police arrested a 39-year-old man named Wasin, after discovering tree cutting tools in his white Isuzu pickup truck, along with documentation indicating he was involved in selling timber. Athisak Intra, the Governor of Kanchanaburi Province, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the incident to address this unlawful act and implement safety measures to prevent future occurrences. Picture courtesy: MGR online The total cost of potential damages and healthcare in this incident isn't entirely defined, but the gravity of public safety and legal accountability have certainly been accentuated. This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by illegal logging, underscoring the urgent need for stricter regulations and enforcement in the region, reported Mirror. -- 2025-01-04
