Accident Two Motorcyclists Killed in Separate Crashes on Rama V Bridge
Pictures courtesy of Kaoded. Two men have died in separate but potentially related motorcycle crashes on the Rama V roundabout overpass in Bang Kruai District, Nonthaburi. Police are investigating whether the incidents are connected or the result of a series of unfortunate collisions. Officers from Bang Kruai Police Station and rescue personnel from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation were called to the scene on Nakhon In Road, heading towards Rama V Bridge, where they found two deceased motorcyclists at different points along the roadway. At the site of the first collision, police discovered the body of Mr. Santi Thanok, 44, a security guard from Nakhon Ratchasima province. He was found beside a silver Isuzu pickup truck with Bangkok registration number, which showed visible damage to the rear right bumper. Nearby was his blue-black Honda Wave motorcycle (reg. from Bangkok). Roughly 50 metres from that location, police found the second victim, Mr. Warasit Wongsawang, 46, a local resident of Nonthaburi. His yellow-black Honda Click (reg. from Bangkok) was lying on top of his body near the road barrier, which showed scrape marks, indicating that he may have collided with the edge before falling onto the road. Mr. Thanitsak, 62, the driver of the Isuzu pickup, told officers that he had initially noticed a fallen motorcycle in the far-left lane and slowed down accordingly. He changed into the middle lane but soon returned to the left lane, switching on his hazard lights when his engine began to stutter. Moments later, a motorcycle riding behind collided with the rear of his vehicle at high speed. Investigators are now working to determine whether Mr. Warasit’s crash occurred first and caused a hazard that contributed to Mr. Santi’s death. CCTV footage from the area will be reviewed, and further witness statements will be gathered. Both bodies were transported to the Institute of Forensic Medicine. Police have recorded initial witness statements and are appealing to anyone who may have dashcam footage or further information about the crashes. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-08-08 -

Military Submarine Replica Goes on Display in Sattahip
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Royal Thai Navy is celebrating a major step forward in its long-delayed submarine procurement project, as a replica of the country’s first Chinese-built submarine has been installed at the entrance to the Royal Thai Fleet Command in Sattahip, Chonburi. The installation of the life-size model comes shortly after the Thai Cabinet approved a key amendment to the purchase agreement, allowing the replacement of the original German-made MTU396 engine with China’s CHD620 engine. The decision also includes a 1,217-day extension to the submarine’s construction timeline. The Yuan-class S26T submarine, being constructed under a government-to-government (G2G) deal with China, marks Thailand’s return to underwater capabilities for the first time in decades. Originally signed in 2017, the contract with China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co. (CSOC) is valued at 7.7 billion baht. As of now, 64% of the project is complete, with 10 out of 18 payment instalments made. The remaining payments total around 5.5 billion baht. Progress on the submarine had stalled since 2021, after China was unable to supply the German engine specified in the original contract due to export restrictions. The recent Cabinet decision has unblocked the impasse, allowing construction to resume with the Chinese-made engine. The reinstallation of the submarine model at the Royal Thai Fleet Command is not just a symbolic gesture, it also marks a broader upgrade of the area’s naval exhibits. Alongside the submarine replica, the Navy is showcasing other key assets, including the decommissioned AV-8S Harrier jump jet, once operated from HTMS Chakri Naruebet and the T.99patrol boat. The T.99, which served the Navy for 34 years before being retired on 1 October 2022, holds special significance. It was built under the royal guidance of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, as part of a mission to strengthen maritime sovereignty. The return of the submarine replica not only enhances the landscape of the Fleet Command headquarters but also symbolises the Navy’s growing ambitions and future capabilities. With the S26T project now back on track, the Royal Thai Navy is one step closer to deploying a submarine that will bolster national maritime security for years to come.
