Accident Chinese Tourist Killed by Falling Tree in Front of Husband in Phuket
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A Chinese tourist was killed when a large tree, uprooted by strong winds, collapsed onto her at Koh Hey Beach in Phuket on the afternoon of 20 July. The horrifying incident occurred in full view of her husband, who sustained minor injuries. At approximately 17.30, Lieutenant Siraphat Chupong, Deputy Inspector at Chalong Police Station, received a report from Chalong Hospital of a fatality involving a foreign tourist. The incident had occurred earlier near the beach area on Koh Hey (Coral Island) in Chalong Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phuket. Upon arrival at the hospital, authorities confirmed the death of Ms Wang Yang, a 53-year-old Chinese national. A preliminary examination indicated she died instantly at the scene from blunt force trauma consistent with being struck by a heavy object. According to eyewitness accounts, Ms Wang and her husband, Mr Dai Hong Jun, were on holiday in Phuket as part of a group tour. Around 15.30, while the couple were seated beneath a tree on beach chairs, a sudden storm brought strong gusts of wind and rain. The violent weather caused a large tree to topple, crushing Ms Wang beneath it. Her husband was struck by falling branches but sustained only minor injuries. Police are arranging for a post-mortem examination of the body, before proceeding with further steps. The Chinese Embassy has been informed.

Travel Immigration Unveils Fast-Track Entry for Foreign Families and Students
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath Thailand’s airports have introduced new measures to accommodate the increasing number of foreign students and their families visiting the country during school holidays. Initially launched for Chinese visitors, this initiative is now being expanded to cater to students from the US, UK, Canada, and beyond, aligning with their summer breaks. Immigration Division 2 has reported significant growth in the number of international students travelling to Thailand, particularly during the low season months of July through September. Pol Maj Gen Choengron Rimpadee has emphasised that while Chinese student groups continue to dominate numerically, the combined arrivals from Western countries are steadily increasing, contributing to a vibrant tourism scene. Key Characteristics of the Initiative Family Travel Focus: The new procedure prioritises families, recognising that school holidays are often a time for family travel. Special lanes have been established for those travelling with children, making it easier for them to navigate through immigration swiftly and efficiently. Clear Travel and Accommodation Plans: To qualify for these streamlined services, families must present clear travel itineraries and accommodation bookings. This requirement ensures that genuine tourists benefit from the process while also facilitating smooth travel experiences. This step helps immigration officials to differentiate between holidaymakers and those with less legitimate intentions. Pre-Departure Arrangements: Travellers are encouraged to have a well-defined plan for their stay in Thailand, including comprehensive return travel arrangements. This forward-planning approach not only aids in the smooth processing of arrivals but also reflects the organised nature of their visit, contributing to a positive impression of Thailand’s tourism management. Avoidance of Visa Run Histories: Importantly, the initiative excludes those with a history of using visa runs to skirt immigration regulations. By focusing on genuine tourists and students, the system enhances Thailand's image as a family-friendly destination, encouraging long-term tourism growth. Alongside these measures, immigration officials have introduced special priority lanes for elderly visitors, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities. This comprehensive approach caters to a wider range of travellers, ensuring that all receive a warm and efficient welcome to Thailand. Positive Reception and Future Improvements Feedback on these enhancements has been overwhelmingly positive. Travellers have appreciated the reduced waiting times, which have decreased significantly from around 40 minutes to just 15 minutes in peak periods. This efficiency supports Thailand's reputation as a tourist-friendly destination, bolstering its image internationally. However, some visitors have suggested improvements, particularly in simplifying the pre-registration process for the Thai Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). In response, the Immigration Bureau plans to collaborate with its technology centre to make the necessary adjustments. Picture courtesy of Siam Rath Thai nationals continue to benefit from separate automated passport control lanes, ensuring that they, too, enjoy swift processing with minimal waiting times. Balance Between Tourism and Security Despite these positive developments for tourists, Thailand’s immigration authorities remain committed to national security. They continue to screen for individuals who pose potential risks, maintaining stringent checks on those from high-risk categories. Since January 2023, over 10,000 individuals have been denied entry under these provisions. Ultimately, this initiative aims not only to boost tourism during the quieter months but also to uphold Thailand’s longstanding commitment to security and safety. By refining processes and embracing innovative solutions, Thailand strengthens its position as a leading destination for international travellers. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Siam Rath 2025-07-21 -
