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.

Crime Domestic Worker Caught in B430m Tax Fraud at Multiple Companies
Picture courtesy of Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) A stunning arrest was made in Sri Racha District where a 54-year-old maid, known only as Somboon, was apprehended over a massive tax evasion case valued at 430 million baht. This high-profile bust was carried out by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) on Sunday. The arrest, occurring in the parking area of an apartment complex, centres around Somboon's alleged involvement with tax evasion in three separate firms. The bedrock of the arrest springs from a longstanding tax evasion by a shipping company. The firm's sneaky manoeuvres included avoiding issuance of tax invoices, paying wages in untraceable cash, and declaring drastically low sales numbers. Dubious activities detected by officials suggest an evasion of value-added tax over the past five years, racking up a bill of around 186 million baht in evaded taxes and fines. When confronted by authorities, Somboon, pointing back to 2015, stated she had been employed as a maid at one of the companies. She claims she was asked to sign paperwork by her employer without fully understanding its weight. Disregarding police summons following this, a warrant was issued for her arrest. This case underscores the complex web of tax dodging and the cunning lengths taken by companies to avoid their financial obligations. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-19 -

Accident Young Woman Dies After Car Plunges into Canal in Rayong
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A 24-year-old woman has died after losing control of her car and plunging into a canal in Rayong province during the early hours of the morning of 18 May. The crash occurred at approximately 16:00 in the Song Salueng subdistrict of Klaeng district. Police from Kram Station, along with rescue workers from the Buddhist Association for Relief and Aid, were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a car crash. Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered a black saloon car severely damaged after having veered off a bend and crashed into Song Salueng Canal. The driver, identified only as Ms A, was found inside the wreckage. Despite rescue efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial investigations revealed that the victim had been driving from Rayong city towards Klaeng district. At a sharp bend near a small bridge, she reportedly lost control of the vehicle, causing it to leave the road and plunge into the canal. Although the canal contained only a small amount of water, the impact was forceful enough to damage the vehicle and cause fatal injuries. Authorities are now reviewing CCTV footage in the area and gathering witness statements to determine the precise cause of the incident. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-05-19. -
