Fire Engulfs Sugarcane Truck on Highway 317
Picture from responders. A fire broke out on a lorry carrying a large load of sugarcane leaves near a U-turn on Highway 317 between Sa Kaeo and Chanthaburi. The incident occurred in Ban Wang Nam Fon, Wang Mai Subdistrict, Wang Sombun District, Sa Kaeo Province. Both the truck and its trailer were completely engulfed in flames. According to reports, the fire erupted late in the morning of January 21. The driver managed to jump out of the vehicle and attempted to extinguish the fire, but strong winds intensified the flames, quickly spreading across both the main truck and its trailer. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported. The location of the incident was near the U-turn at Ban Wang Nam Fon, on the route heading from Wang Nam Yen District towards the Saha Dairy Cooperative Junction in Wang Sombun District. Highway police from Sa Kaeo province were dispatched to manage traffic. Vehicles travelling from Wang Nam Yen towards Wang Sombun and Chanthaburi were temporarily diverted to a special contraflow lane. Meanwhile, firefighters from the Wang Mai Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, Wang Sombun Municipality, and Wang Nam Yen Town Municipality deployed multiple fire engines to tackle the blaze. The fire was brought under control after nearly an hour of efforts, followed by additional time for cleanup operations. Traffic flow resumed once the area was cleared. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire started when sparks, possibly from nearby sources, landed on the sugarcane. The situation was exacerbated by strong winds, resulting in the rapid spread of the flames. The truck was reportedly on its way to deliver the load to a sugarcane factory when the incident occurred. Authorities continue to investigate the exact cause of the fire. -- 2025-01-22 -

Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
Many places in the "West" are decades behind Thailand when it comes to convenience and service!! That is why I love to be here 6 months a year!😄 -

Trump just said he is going to pardon the J6 "hostages".
Reading some of the posts from the sore loosers, it's really really good that Trump won. Their rants are soooooo entertaining. The dark side of the force is strong among the liberal elements. -

Hospital charging more for foreigners
For those of us who come from a country where healthcare is free, dealing with a private health system can be a very strange experience. I found the experience of being sold healthcare and the constant attempts at 'upselling' totally alien. In other circumstances we might just say that you have to have your wits about you and make sure you are not being sold something you don't need. That's difficult when you may have no idea if you need a particular item or service or not. The hospital's overarching aim is to make money and that can take a little getting used to. Its not only us though - it goes on right down to basic levels - dentistry for example. Have you noticed just how many Thai females are fitted with braces? Each time my ex wife visited her dentist she was told that she needed to keep the braces for another 3 months and predictably, another appointment was made - paid for of course. This went on for years. I kept telling her there was nothing wrong with her teeth but of course, the Thai dentist must be right. When she moved to the UK she visited a dentist who removed the braces immediately - and commented that the design and type had actually done very little. I still don't think she believed it but the braces were removed. -
