Accident Horrific Motorway 7 Crash Claims Eight Lives
Picture from responders. A horrific road crash on Motorway Route 7 has resulted in the deaths of eight individuals, including two children, when their vehicle was crushed between two lorries. The crash occurred at approximately 23:00on 24 April in the outbound lanes of the motorway, near kilometre marker 23+300, close to the Lat Krabang toll booths in Samut Prakan province. Emergency responders from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation arrived to find a devastating multi-vehicle collision in the emergency parking zone of the far-left lane. A white Chevrolet Captiva SUV, registered in Udon Thani had been crushed after being rear-ended at high speed by a lorry. The force of the impact drove the SUV into the rear of a stationary white tanker, registered in Chumphon, causing damage to both vehicles. The lorry responsible for the crash, registered in Chonburi, sustained frontal damage and is believed to have been travelling at high speed at the time of the collision. Rescue teams used specialist cutting equipment to free the victims from the mangled wreckage. Eight people travelling in the SUV were pronounced dead at the scene, with two others seriously injured and rushed to hospital. One individual from the lorry also sustained injuries. According to initial reports, the Chevrolet Captiva had pulled into the emergency stopping lane behind the oil tanker shortly before the crash. Authorities believe the lorry driver failed to notice the parked vehicles in time, resulting in a catastrophic collision. In a particularly poignant development, it has emerged that the ill-fated SUV had only been purchased six days earlier. Social media posts by the vehicle’s owner, proudly showing off their new purchase with matching registration details, have circulated widely since the crash, intensifying the heartbreak surrounding the tragedy. Thai authorities are working to formally identify the deceased and have appealed for the families of those involved to contact them urgently, as the investigation continues.

7-Eleven No Longer Gives Receipts - What Happened?
I haven't noticed yet in Pattaya and surrounding. Strange though, the receipt seemed to be mainly to ensure the staff ring up the charge, rather than charge the customer and keep the money -

Report Thailand Waves Goodbye to Costly Scout Uniforms, Eases Parent Woes
You are spot on. When the King passed away, the village boss said over the speaker system that whilst people should wear dark coloured clothing, people shouldn't take offence if some people could not. I guess some posters don't realise that in rural Thailand some people can't afford the expense of even a T shirt. Food takes priority. -

Accident Impatient Motorcyclist Rides Through Railway Barrier, Wife Falls Off & Injured
UPDATE: Biker Blunder: Reckless Ride Knocks Wife to Ground at Rail Barrier Photo via Facebook/ Peet Love A Bangkok biker brazenly defied a railway barrier, resulting in a shocking accident that floored his wife. The incident, caught on camera and shared by Facebook user Peet Love on April 22, showed the motorcyclist failing to heed a descending railway barrier. While he ducked to avoid the barrier, his unsuspecting wife was struck and left lying on the track. The shocking footage depicts another motorcyclist sensibly waiting for an approaching train, while the reckless rider surged forward. The moment the barrier collided with his wife's head, she tumbled awkwardly, visibly dazed as she regained her footing. Rather than assist her immediately, her husband concentrated on gathering their dropped belongings from the road. Remarkably, a potential tragedy was averted as the train had yet to arrive when she fell. Speaking to the news programme Hone Krasae, the injured woman recounted her attempt to continue commuting to work post-accident. However, the seriousness of her injuries became apparent. She later sought medical help where nine stitches were administered to her chin wound, along with a diagnosis of internal bleeding, encouraging an overnight hospital stay. Reflecting on the ordeal, she resolved to abandon motorcycle commutes with her husband, opting for the safety of public transport instead. The incident may have serious legal repercussions for the husband. According to Channel 7, his reckless behaviour could invoke legal penalties under Section 62 of the Land Transport Act. This law enforces a maximum 10-year prison term or a fine up to 20,000 baht (around 20,000 THB), or both, for such infractions. Moreover, the couple could face additional financial liability for any damage inflicted on public property like the railway barrier during this hazardous escapade. The severity of the husband's actions underscores the critical importance of respecting traffic signals, notably in environments as perilous as railway crossings, to maintain public safety and avert such life-threatening incidents.
