Accident Motorcyclist Killed by Lightning Strike in Phetchabun
Picture from responders. An incident occurred in the early hours of the morning of 1 May, in Phetchabun province when a man riding a motorcycle was struck and killed by lightning. The victim was discovered lifeless at the scene, with his vehicle and belongings bearing the unmistakable marks of a lightning strike. At approximately 06:10, the Ruamkatanyu Putai rescue foundation received a report of a fatal lightning strike involving a motorcyclist in Moo 6, Phu Nam Yot Subdistrict, Wichian Buri District. Emergency responders, including police from Phu Toei Police Station, medical staff from Wichian Buri Hospital, local leaders, and relatives of the deceased, were dispatched to the scene. The incident took place on a concrete road within the Ruam Sap Village. Upon arrival, rescuers found a grey Honda Wave 100 motorcycle, registration number from Phetchabun, lying on the roadside. The body of the male rider, who was travelling alone, was found still on the fallen vehicle. Visible burn marks on the concrete road and on the victim’s body indicated a direct lightning strike. Scattered around the site were fragments of a destroyed headlamp, often used for night hunting, as well as remnants of a plastic raincoat and the victim’s clothing, all of which had been torn apart by the lightning’s force. A bag carried by the deceased contained a significant number of frogs and small amphibians, suggesting that he had been out foraging during the early morning hours. Local residents later reported that they had heard multiple thunderclaps and lightning strikes between 02:00 and 03:00, but were unaware that anyone had been harmed until a passer-by discovered the body around 06:00 and immediately alerted authorities. After a joint on-site investigation by police, medical personnel, and the victim’s family, it was concluded that the cause of death was consistent with a lightning strike. The family raised no objections and accepted the incident as a tragic accident. The rescue foundation helped move the body to Ruam Sap Temple and assisted in cleaning and dressing the deceased in preparation for traditional funeral rites. Adapted by Asean Now 2025-05-02. -

What is up with tattoos and tourists / expats here?
Lots of pretty Thai women now have "cute" tattoos Honestly, I probably wouldn't think so negatively of them if they were done well, had some meaning, placed properly on the body and cared for (stay out of the sun). I would be so obsessed with any tattoo on my body that looks like she it. It would haunt me -

All the Good Mangoes Must Be in Macau?
Must say, the guava scene in Thailand has seriously leveled up though since I first landed here. Back then, guavas were dark green, like oversized jawbreakers, loaded with seeds, and with all the flavor of a damp sponge. It was like chewing on a horse’s hoof and wondering if this was some kind of local prank. Then came the seedless revolution, suddenly they were oddly shaped, weirdly light, and actually sweet. Game changer. But now, we’re in the era of the pink guava takeover, and I’m fully on board. I like to let them go borderline feral, keep them till the skin starts getting those suspicious brown freckles. The texture goes a bit rubbery, sure, but the flavor? Absolute sweet and sour explosion. Like fruit that’s been to therapy and found its purpose. -
