Cabinet Approves New Industry Standards for Escalators and Moving Walkways
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. The Thai Cabinet has approved a new ministerial regulation requiring escalators and moving walkways to meet updated industrial standards. Under the new rules, manufacturers and importers must obtain licences before selling these products in Thailand. Deputy Government Spokesperson Sasikarn Wattanachan announced the decision following a Cabinet meeting at Government House. She stated that the new regulation aims to ensure the safety and quality of escalators and moving walkways installed in public buildings. The regulation mandates that all such products comply with the latest industry standards. Given their widespread use in commercial and public spaces, the government sees a need to enforce stricter safety measures. Under the new rules, manufacturers and importers must apply for licences before producing or bringing escalators and moving walkways into the country. Distributors may only sell licensed products that meet the prescribed standards. The regulation will come into force 90 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette. -- 2025-03-30 -

Construction Supervisor Falls to His Death in 7-Metre Underground Cable Duct Pit
Picture from responders. A construction supervisor lost his life after stumbling and falling into a 7-metre-deep underground cable duct pit in Bangkok’s Chom Thong district. The incident occurred at approximately 00:30 on 29 March, in front of Soi Suksawat 6, Bang Pakok. Police Lieutenant Colonel Phraiwith Pruethong, an investigative officer from Bang Kholaem Police Station, was alerted and rushed to the scene alongside experts from Siriraj Hospital and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. Upon arrival, authorities found a large underground cable duct pit, where the victim’s body was discovered. The deceased, identified as 53-year-old Somyot Rianwetch, was the site supervisor. His body was covered in mud, and he was dressed in a black short-sleeved T-shirt and black trousers, without shoes. A significant wound was visible on his head, his forehead was swollen, and blood was flowing from his nose and mouth. His left arm bore bruises consistent with heavy impact injuries. Rescue personnel retrieved his body from the pit. According to a 40-year-old construction worker, identified only as Ms. Cartoon, she was cleaning a barrier tank at the time of the incident while the deceased was overseeing the work and guiding crane operations. Witnesses reported that he had taken just a few steps before tripping and falling into the pit. Investigators at the scene interviewed multiple workers, who confirmed that Somyot was standing near the edge of the pit when he suddenly stumbled, possibly tripping over an object, before plunging in. His head struck the rim of the pit before his body hit the bottom with force, resulting in fatal injuries. Authorities will await the results of a forensic examination and review CCTV footage from the surrounding area to confirm the exact cause of the incident. -- 2025-03-30 -
