Two Killed, Three Injured as Train Crashes into Pickup Truck at Unauthorised Crossing
Pictures courtesy of Khoasod. A collision between a train and a pickup truck at an unauthorised railway crossing in Surat Thani has left two people dead and three others seriously injured. The incident occurred at 18:45 on 30 March when officers from Phunphin Police Station received a report of a train striking a pickup truck between Ban Thung Pho Junction and Maluan stations in Hua Toei Subdistrict, Phunphin District. Rescue teams and medical personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency responders found the wreckage of a Toyota pickup truck, completely destroyed by the impact. Inside, they discovered five victims, three of whom were injured and two deceased. Rescuers used hydraulic cutting tools to extract the injured individuals, who were rushed to Phunphin Hospital for urgent medical treatment. The bodies of the deceased were also recovered. The collision involved Train No. 44, operating between Surat Thani and Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Station in Bangkok. Preliminary investigations indicate that the pickup truck, carrying five passengers, was crossing the tracks when the train struck it, dragging the vehicle for over 30 metres. The train driver reported that the locomotive had departed Surat Thani Station at 18:25 and was approaching the crossing when the collision occurred. Despite sounding the horn to warn approaching vehicles, the pickup truck failed to clear the tracks in time. The driver also noted that although the train was not travelling at high speed, it was impossible to stop in time to avoid the collision. Following the crash, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) issued a statement confirming that the collision occurred at an illegal crossing equipped with warning signs. The statement also expressed condolences to the victims’ families and urged motorists to exercise caution when crossing railway tracks, particularly at unauthorised or unmanned crossings. Train No. 44 was able to resume its journey at 20:21, approximately 100 minutes behind schedule. -- 2025-03-31 -

The most incompetant US admin in history has been elected
As an American, I assume based on your ____ comments, that you do not understand the US political system. Let me explain, unlike the Un-democratic EU or failed UK, the US has a democracy. Peoples' votes determine election results. See attached. Why not fix your own poor and failing countries before bashing the USA -- the country that you rely on for your defence! I hope the USA will leave NATO ASAP. It is time for Europeans to learn Russian and Arabic: these are the 2 forces that will dominate your future. -

Authorities Crack Down on Illegal Gold Mining in Pilok Forest
Picture courtesy of Daily News. A joint operation by officers from Thong Pha Phum National Park and soldiers from the Lad Ya Task Force has led to the arrest of an illegal gold mining gang in Pilok Forest, Kanchanaburi. The authorities seized a large number of items, including wildlife carcasses and weapons. Under the direction of Chutidet Kamonnachanut, Director of the Protected Areas Regional Office 3 (Ban Pong), Chakrit Tanpirun, District Chief of Thong Pha Phum, and Colonel Phannasak Phriyaophanit, Commander of the Lad Ya Task Force, the operation was launched following intelligence reports that a group had entered the protected area with weapons to illegally mine for gold. Led by Yutthaphong Damsrisuk, Senior Forestry Officer and Head of Thong Pha Phum National Park, a team comprising park rangers and soldiers from the Lad Ya Task Force, Surasi Force, began their patrol at 16:00, on 29 March. They navigated through dense forest, following old logging trails, streams, and steep ridges for 16 kilometres westward into an area previously investigated for illegal mining. Upon arrival, officers discovered multiple motorcycles parked at the site. They concealed themselves until daylight before thoroughly inspecting the area. They found numerous excavated pits measuring 1×1 metres, with depths of 10-15 metres, as well as signs of soil and rock selection for gold extraction. The soil was being transported to a stream for further sifting to extract gold deposits. At approximately 07:30 on 30 March, the officers heard voices from a group of people, both men and women, preparing food at a makeshift shelter by the stream. The team swiftly moved in and successfully detained 11 individuals, categorised into four separate cases: 1. Case 1 – Arrest of Mrs. Powah, 31, of Karen ethnicity, residing in Ban Mai Rai Pa (Por Sam Ton), Thong Pha Phum District. Seized items: six pieces of evidence, including plastic bags containing soil and gold ore, weighing over 2 kg. 2. Case 2 – Arrest of Miss Dawarn, 30, also of Karen ethnicity, from the same village. Seized items: five pieces of evidence, including plastic bags with 2.6 kg of soil suspected to contain gold ore. 3. Case 3 – Arrest of five Myanmar nationals: Mr. Saw Khopa (39), Mr. Khepli (40), Mr. Soda (30), Mr. Lek (27), and Mrs. Acy Paw (38). Authorities confiscated a .22-calibre rifle with a scope, 45 rounds of ammunition, 15 excavation tools, gold panning equipment, and filtering sheets. 4. Case 4 – Arrest of four individuals without legal residency status: Mr. Lobu (31), Mr. Tan Toon (51), Mrs. Mitui (40), and Mrs. Ae Paw (52). Authorities made a shocking discovery, seizing wildlife carcasses, including a female sambar deer (17.4 kg), two masked palm civets, a large frog, and a softshell turtle. Also seized were two homemade .22-calibre rifles, four rounds of ammunition, plastic vials containing 14 grams of gold ore, five motorcycles, and over 24 pieces of mining and panning equipment, including large sacks of excavated soil. The crackdown was carried out under the directives of Dr. Chalermchai Sri-on, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, and Atthaphon Charoenchansa, Director-General of the Department of National Parks. They have ordered all protected area units to conduct strict anti-poaching, anti-mining, and anti-forest burning operations to safeguard conservation zones. All suspects have been handed over to Pilok Police Station for further legal proceedings. Authorities noted that this was not the first operation in the area. In November 2024, a similar raid took place, yet illegal miners returned to exploit the same site. This latest enforcement action sends a clear message of the government’s zero tolerance towards forest encroachment and environmental crimes. -- 2025-03-31
