Crash Claims Lives of Two 14-Year-Old Schoolboys in Ranong
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. Two 14-year-old schoolboys were killed instantly after the motorcycle they were riding lost control and collided with a signpost urging motorists to reduce their speed in Ranong province on Saturday evening. The incident occurred at approximately 16:30 on 6 April, near a sharp bend on Phetkasem Road at the Sam Yaek Suan junction, inbound to Ranong town, in Bang Non subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Puriphat Suksawat, deputy investigator at Mueang Ranong Police Station, received a report of a serious motorcycle crash. Emergency medical teams from Ranong Hospital, volunteers from the Ranong Songkroh Rescue Foundation and traffic police were immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, rescuers discovered the bodies of two school pupils, later identified as Mr. Laphatkon and Mr. Phongsathorn, both aged 14. The boys, dressed in sports kits, were found lying on the pavement in pools of blood, having died at the scene from the force of the impact. Around 50 metres from the scene of the collision, officers found a badly damaged Honda PCX motorcycle, registration from Ranong, lying in the middle of the road. The front of the vehicle was extensively damaged, believed to be from the initial collision with the post, after which it skidded along the road. Two mobile phones were discovered nearby, but attempts to unlock them using fingerprint scanners failed due to passcode protection. A search beneath the motorcycle seat revealed a registration document, which police used to trace the vehicle’s owner and contact the family of the deceased driver. Preliminary investigations suggest the two boys had told their parents they were heading out for a game of badminton as part of their evening exercise routine. They were riding at speed when they entered a bend, veered into the inner lane, clipped the kerb, and struck a roadside post bearing a community speed reduction sign. Rescue workers erected a screen to shield the bodies from view, while doctors from Ranong Hospital conducted an initial examination. The bodies were transferred to the hospital’s forensic department for a full autopsy. CCTV footage from a nearby camera captured the moment the motorcycle approached the bend at high speed, veered sharply inwards, and struck the kerb before the crash. However, the actual impact with the signpost was not captured on camera. Police investigations are ongoing. -- 2025-04-07 -

Americans in Pattaya and impact from Tariffs?
Well, being an American in Pattaya will not have any special impact, unless some people there decide to be nasty to the average American that has nothing to do with Trump or his administration. Prices will be about the same as before. The Thai Baht to US dollar ratio may be slightly improving which may help Americans traveling to thailand -

A look at Walking street through the years.
All the way back to 2012? My first trip was there in 2004. I thought the entire city was great and just the right size for me. I can't think of any changes since then that I care for. The hatchet chop job on all the trees along beach road is just sinful. remember there used to be a few metal benches one could stop and sit on. There were flower beds. There was the wrap around walkway at the north end of the beach you could walk to Naklua. Never mind the shops that used to burn CDs from your digital camera. I am not getting into the technological changes over the years. But way too much internet has not helped. -

Two Monks Electrocuted While Preparing for Songkran Festival in Buriram
A troll post has been removed. The report is written based on the definition in the Cambridge English dictionary and used by UK responders. “Electrocute - to kill someone by causing electricity to flow through their body” So discuss the topic, instead of making attempted snide comments about the News Team. -

Difficulties foreigners face entering Mae Sot and surrounding areas
My question to you would be, what does this have to do in the least with visas, entry, extensions? You're not even wanting to exit/re-enter at the Burma border there.You're just wanting to go to a border town. If all you're doing is meeting Burmese in the town of Mae Sot go do it. The worst that will happen is they won't let you into the town.- 1
