Community Coffee Shop Worker Shocked to Give Birth in Toilet Without Knowing She Was Pregnant
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 31-year-old employee at a well-known coffee chain in Bangkok was left in shock on 18 May, after unexpectedly giving birth in a petrol station toilet, having shown no prior signs of pregnancy. The incident occurred at approximately 12:15 at a petrol station near Soi Serithai 38 in the Khan Na Yao district. Police and emergency responders were called after reports that a newborn baby had been found in a toilet bowl. The infant, a baby boy, was discovered alive with the umbilical cord still attached and tangled around his body. The mother, identified only as Ms A for privacy, initially fled the scene in a state of panic but was later located by authorities at the nearby coffee shop where she works. She reportedly told investigators that she had experienced a sudden urge to use the toilet due to stomach pain and dizziness. While in the bathroom, she unexpectedly delivered the baby directly into the toilet. According to her statement, Ms A was completely unaware of her pregnancy, claiming that her menstrual cycle had remained normal throughout the past months. She also noted that this was not her first pregnancy, having previously given birth to two children under similar circumstances, where her periods continued during the early stages of gestation. After the delivery, Ms A was reportedly disoriented and faint, prompting her to leave the restroom and seek help from colleagues. Moments later, emergency services and police arrived on the scene. Initially hesitant to come forward, Ms A eventually admitted to being the baby’s mother after questioning. Authorities have confirmed that Ms A did not intend to abandon the child and that her actions were driven by confusion and medical distress. She is currently receiving treatment for postpartum bleeding at Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital. The baby is said to be in a stable condition under medical care. Police are continuing their investigation, but early indications suggest no criminal intent. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-19. -

Report Thai Court to Rule on Yingluck's Rice Scheme Case 22 May
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath On 18 May 2025, Norawich Laelaeng, lawyer for former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, confirmed that the Supreme Administrative Court will announce its verdict on 22 May at 1:30 p.m. The case involves a legal battle where the Finance Ministry ordered Yingluck to pay compensation of around 35 billion baht related to her rice pledging scheme, a decision previously overturned by a lower administrative court. However, Thailand's Finance Ministry appealed, bringing the case to the Supreme Administrative Court. Norawich has declined to speculate on the outcome and advised awaiting the court's decision. When asked about Yingluck's assets currently frozen or seized by the Department of Legal Execution, Norawich stated that a significant portion of her assets had been affected, some even sold. Should Yingluck win in the Supreme Administrative Court, any frozen assets would be released. The legal team has not yet decided on pursuing legal action against the state for the asset seizures, pending the court's ruling, but noted that nearly all her assets had been frozen or were pending sale at auction.

Community Dramatic Rescue as Man Collapses Atop 10-Metre Durian Tree in Rayong
Pictures courtesy of Amarin In a harrowing incident that could have ended in tragedy, a 20-year-old man lost consciousness while working high in a durian tree in Rayong province, only to be saved through swift action and CPR. The man, identified as Mr. Film, had climbed the durian tree, reportedly more than 10 metres tall, to harvest the fruit. While working near the top, he suddenly appeared to suffer chest tightness and breathing difficulty before collapsing. Witnesses, including fellow workers and the orchard owner, acted quickly. Seeing Mr. Film in distress, they climbed up and tied a rope around him to prevent a fall, then carefully lowered him to the ground. Upon reaching the ground, he was found to be unresponsive and not breathing. Workers immediately tore open his shirt to allow ventilation and began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). They continued the life-saving efforts for nearly 20 minutes until Mr. Film started breathing again, just as rescue personnel arrived on the scene. He was then rushed to Wang Chan Hospital, where he is now said to be in stable condition. Mr. Anothai, 55, a durian buyer who was present at the scene, described the moment: “We had come to buy durians from Mr. Pakorn’s orchard. Mr. Film, a labourer, was helping with the harvest. He was working on an old tree, over 10 metres tall, when he suddenly seemed to struggle, clutching his chest.” Quick-thinking workers on the ground shouted for help and carefully coordinated the rescue, eventually managing to get the unconscious Mr. Film safely down. At hospital, Mr. Film recounted the experience: “I remember struggling to breathe and feeling pressure in my chest. The next thing I knew, someone was pressing on my chest and stomach. I don’t know exactly what happened, but now I feel OK.” Thanks to the quick response of his colleagues and the arrival of rescue personnel, a life was saved amidst the towering branches of a durian tree.
