Accident Lightning Strike Kills Farmer in Incident While Herding Cattle
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A lightning strike has claimed the life of a local farmer in the northeastern province of Sakon Nakhon while he was herding his cattle. The incident occurred around 12:30 on 7 May, in Ban Nadi, Na Hua Bo Subdistrict, Phanna Nikhom District. Emergency services from Na Hua Bo Subdistrict Municipality and Phanna rescue teams, along with officers from Phanna Nikhom Police Station, rushed to the scene after receiving reports of a fatal lightning strike. The deceased, identified by relatives as Mr Paek 54, was found already moved to a safe location by family members before authorities arrived. He was the owner of the property where the incident occurred. According to reports, the weather at the time was hot and humid, with heavy cloud cover and continuous thunder. Mr Paek had gone out to herd his cattle into the pen from an open field. As he passed by a tall coconut tree in his garden, lightning struck the top of the tree. Mr Paek was in close proximity and was hit by the electrical surge from the strike, resulting in his immediate death. Authorities have transported the body to Phanna Nikhom Hospital for a formal autopsy. Officials have issued a renewed warning to the public in light of this tragic event. The Meteorological Department of Thailand has forecast thunderstorms and strong winds throughout May and advises citizens to avoid standing under large trees, near unstable structures or in open fields during storms, to ensure personal safety and protect property.

Accident Man Survives 100-Metre Cliff Fall as Girlfriend Watches in Horror
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A man has miraculously survived a harrowing fall down a 100-metre cliff at a scenic mountain viewpoint in southern Thailand, as his girlfriend looked on helplessly in terror. The incident occurred at approximately 07:55 on 7 May, at Khao Lae Viewpoint in Sadao District, Songkhla Province, a popular location known for its panoramic views of sunrise and sea mist. The victim, identified as Mr Nabi, 20, from Pattani Province, was visiting the viewpoint early in the morning with his girlfriend to watch the sunrise. According to reports, he slipped near the edge of the Heo Lan cliff, tumbling down the steep slope before becoming lodged in a tree roughly 100 metres below. Emergency services, including teams from the Maikhom, Sanakham, and Phatong Theottham rescue units, were alerted by horrified onlookers after the man’s girlfriend screamed for help. Due to the rugged terrain, rescuers had to hike nearly 800 metres up the mountain before descending carefully to retrieve the injured man. He was found unconscious but breathing, with visible injuries including a fractured arm and facial wounds. Rescue workers secured him in a stretcher and painstakingly carried him back up the mountainside in a delicate operation lasting nearly an hour. He was later transported to Sadao Hospital for emergency treatment. Witnesses said the area was slippery due to recent rainfall, and the cliffside was covered in wet grass and loose soil. One tourist, known only as Benz, told local reporters: “I heard a woman scream, then a thud. When we went to look, we saw him lying far below and having a seizure. We called for help immediately.” Local officials have urged visitors to exercise extreme caution while exploring high-risk viewpoints, particularly during the rainy season when footing can be treacherous.
