Woman Found Dead in Irrigation Canal in Chiang Rai
Picture from responders. A routine trip to inspect a rice field took a grim turn when a local farmer spotted what appeared to be a human hand in an irrigation canal. Upon closer inspection, he was horrified to discover a body submerged in the water. The incident occurred on the morning of 9th February, when officers from Pong Pha Police Service Station received a report of a body found in a public irrigation canal near the Baan Ua Arthorn housing project in Pong Pha Subdistrict, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai. Upon arrival at the scene, police found a blue and white Honda Scoopy motorcycle, bearing Chiang Rai registration number, submerged in the canal. However, the body was not immediately visible, as it had drifted approximately 300 metres downstream. A large crowd had gathered around the site where the body was eventually discovered. The deceased was identified as 43-year-old Boonyanuch, who had reportedly been in the water for several hours. Witnesses described her body as stiff and lying face-up in the water. The first person to spot the body was local farmer Sanong Phrompanya, who recounted the shocking moment. “I was walking along the irrigation canal to check my rice fields when I noticed something that looked like a human hand. When I realised it was a body, I was terrified and immediately called for help,” he said. At the scene, police spoke to the victim’s husband, Thongsuk, 58, a resident of Ban San Sai Moon, Moo 6, Pong Pha. He explained that his wife suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes. According to Thongsuk, Boonyanuch typically left for work as a housemaid in Pong Pha at around 07:20 each day and returned home by 17:00. On the evening before her death, he had not been concerned when she did not return, as she sometimes stayed overnight at her workplace or failed to come home after drinking with friends. A security guard at a local school reported seeing Boonyanuch riding her motorcycle past the school at around 23:00, but as she often travelled this route, nothing seemed unusual. Police investigators examined the area where the motorcycle was found and observed skid marks indicating that the rider had veered off the road and into the canal. It is suspected that Boonyanuch lost control of her motorcycle, fell into the water, and lost consciousness, ultimately drowning. The overnight current is believed to have carried her body to the spot where it was later discovered. Her husband stated that he did not suspect foul play in her death. Authorities have sent the body for further examination before releasing it to the family. -- 2025-02-10 -

Thailand Steps Up Enforcement on Illegal Foreign Teachers
File photo for reference only In a significant move to regulate foreign employment, Thailand's Department of Employment (DoE) has intensified its inspections of language schools across Bangkok. This action follows the arrest of eight South Korean language teachers for working without the necessary permits. DoE Director-General Somchai Morakotsriwan announced that these proactive inspections are part of the "Search, Arrest, Fine, Deport" initiative. This operation aims to address public concerns about foreigners working illegally in the Ratchada and Bang Na districts, particularly at well-known Korean language institutions. A joint task force from the DoE’s foreign labour inspection unit and the Immigration Bureau (IB) police conducted raids to verify the employment statuses of foreign teachers. Although Sunday's inspections did not uncover further illegal employment, the operations underscore a continued commitment to enforcing work permit laws. This crackdown is designed to safeguard job opportunities for Thai citizens by ensuring compliance with employment regulations. Last Thursday, IB police had already raided two language school branches along Ratchadaphisek Road, resulting in the arrests of eight South Koreans for working without valid permits. Somchai emphasized the legal requirements for foreign teachers, who must enter Thailand under a non-immigrant visa and apply for work permits with appropriate teaching credentials. These applications are processed through the Bangkok Employment Office Area 1-10 or the relevant Provincial Employment Office. Penalties for non-compliance are severe: foreign teachers working without a valid work permit risk fines ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 Thai Baht (approximately £110 to £1,120), alongside deportation. Schools found employing undocumented workers face fines between 10,000 and 100,000 Thai Baht (approximately £225 to £2,250) for each illegal employee. Repeat offenders could incur harsher penalties, including fines of 50,000 to 200,000 Thai Baht (approximately £1,120 to £4,480) and possible imprisonment for school owners. To facilitate compliance, the Labour Ministry provides assistance through a multilingual hotline. Foreign nationals seeking work permits can call 1506, pressing '2', or the DoE's 1694 hotline, with English interpreters available to guide them through legal employment procedures in Thailand, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-10 -

Samsung A55-5G Macro image of Mango Blossom at night: What's wrong? if anything?
The A55 should have settings for 'focus peaking' and for macro lens, you definitely need that turned on. Not familiar with Samsung, and personally would never buy, as overpriced. Wife just picked up a POCO, since I've had mine for 4+ years and it's flawless. Actually should arrive today. Priority in picking the POCO, as with mine, it uses a Sony camera sensor. As do many iPhones ... nuff said -
