Accident Grandmother and Twin Granddaughters Drown in Rural Sakon Nakhon

A heart-breaking incident has struck a rural community in Sakon Nakhon, after a grandmother and her twin granddaughters drowned in a stream near their rice field shortly after finishing work in the paddy. Emergency services were called to a location near Ban Na Duea, Na Kaeo subdistrict, Phon Na Kaeo district, Sakon Nakhon province, at approximately 15:15 on 21 June. Upon arrival, rescue teams attempted CPR but were unable to revive any of the three victims. The deceased have been identified as Mrs. Thongyun, 63 and her 11-year-old twin granddaughters. The incident occurred near a field hut on the western edge of the village, next to a stream swollen by recent rainfall. According to Mr. Saentawee, Mrs. Thongyun’s husband, he had briefly left the group to buy noodles from the village. During that time, his wife and the two girls had finished planting rice and are believed to have gone to the nearby stream to clean themselves. When he returned, he found their sandals by the water’s edge but no sign of them. Authorities suspect that one or more of the victims may have slipped or been pulled under by the current. The stream, like many in the area, had become deceptively deep and fast-moving following several days of heavy rain. Post-mortem examinations confirmed death by drowning, and no signs of foul play were found. The family has chosen not to pursue further investigation, accepting the cause of death as accidental. The bodies have been released for traditional funeral rites. Officials are urging the public to exercise caution when working or washing near natural water sources during the rainy season. Streams may appear safe but can quickly become hazardous due to hidden depths, slippery banks and fast-moving water. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-06-23 -

Report Thais Say No to Casinos: Majority Stand Against Complexes
Picture courtesy of Wikipedia Thais continue to express firm opposition to the government's plan for entertainment complexes, including casinos, according to a recent NIDA Poll. Conducted from 16 to 16–18 June 2025, the survey reached 1,310 citizens from diverse demographics. The results show that 56.72% stand against both entertainment complexes and casinos in Thailand, while 24.12% support the idea. Interestingly, 8.78% back the concept of entertainment venues without gambling facilities, and 9.01% remain undecided. Even if these complexes were privately funded, generating between 12 and 12–39 billion baht per year, 84.15% of the dissenters still oppose them. Of those asked, only 11.31% endorse entertainment hubs minus casinos under private investment, illustrating a staunch resistance to gambling. Government proposals for anti-money laundering and entry controls have barely swayed opinions. A substantial 81.47% of respondents continue to reject both concepts, regardless of security measures, favouring a more conservative approach to public leisure activities. Revenue from these complexes, intended for education, infrastructure, and vulnerable groups, also fails to impress. With 78.21% refusing the initiative, the proposed benefits do not seem to outweigh public disapproval of gambling-related developments. When asked about the legislative fate of a draft bill on these complexes, 37.10% predict its rejection, while only 19.85% foresee its passage. The suggested introduction of a national referendum receives more support, with 61.60% backing the idea, indicating a desire for broader public input on this contentious issue. The poll highlights a nationwide scepticism towards integrating casinos into entertainment complexes, with financial incentives and legislative measures struggling to change minds.
