Accident Surat Thani Horror U-Turn Crash: Three Dead, Child Critical in ICU
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A road crash in Surat Thani has claimed the lives of a mother and two of her young children after a motorcycle carrying the family was struck from behind by a Mercedes-Benz while attempting a U-turn on Highway 401 in the Kanchanadit district. The crash occurred at around 07:45 on 21 July, near Moo 5 in the Tha Uthae subdistrict, a known crash blackspot. Ms Orauma, aged 38, was reportedly taking her three children to school on a red Suzuki motorcycle when a silver Mercedes-Benz C200 coupe collided with the rear of the bike at high speed. Ms Orauma and her eldest daughter, aged 7, were pronounced dead at the scene. Two younger children, a boy aged 1 and a girl aged 2, sustained critical injuries and were rushed to Kanchanadit Hospital before being transferred to Surat Thani Hospital for urgent treatment. Despite efforts by the medical team, the one-year-old boy succumbed to his injuries at approximately 15:00. The two-year-old girl remains in intensive care with life-threatening injuries. Police confirmed that the driver of the Mercedes, a 34-year-old female lawyer from Surat Thani, remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators. Preliminary testing showed no trace of alcohol and she has since been taken in for further questioning. Her vehicle sustained front-end damage to the right side, including a smashed windscreen. Initial findings suggest the family were struck while Ms Orauma was making a legal U-turn to drop her eldest daughter off at school, located not far from the crash site. Officers noted that the turning point where the collision occurred has been the site of multiple previous collisions. Authorities are now examining CCTV footage and forensic evidence from both vehicles to determine the precise cause of the crash. Police have not yet confirmed whether charges will be brought, but investigations are ongoing. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-22 -

Politics Thailand Weighs Ambassador Recall as Border Tensions with Cambodia Mount
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World Thailand is considering recalling its ambassador from Phnom Penh amid escalating tensions with Cambodia. Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai announced today that moves are being made to avoid an armed conflict, especially near the Ta Muen Thom ruins in Surin. Phumtham plans to dispatch two companies of crowd control police to the border in pursuit of peace. This decision follows a weekend influx of over 7,000 Thai and Cambodian tourists to the contested site. Phumtham discussed using police to avert military confrontations and demonstrate Thailand's commitment to peace. He emphasised that a police presence would deter conflicts while protecting civilians. Should any unrest arise, stationed Thai police could swiftly respond, ensuring military forces are not prematurely involved. The acting PM reiterated the importance of keeping military troops ready to safeguard national sovereignty at the border. Expressing a firm yet measured stance, Phumtham stressed Thailand's dedication to restraint, avoiding actions that might provoke Cambodia to approach the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Notably, Thailand does not recognise the ICJ's jurisdiction. Phumtham conveyed a desire to prevent losses on both sides, indirectly referencing the current global climate of conflict. The situation remains tense as diplomatic strategies continue to unfold. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-07-22 -

Middle East 67 Killed Near UN Aid Convoy in Gaza; Israel Denies Full Toll
The lesson Jews learned during the Holocaust was that Jews have to protect themselves and can't rely on nations or other people to save them from genocide. The only way to give Jews the best possible chance for survival was to create a militarily strong sovereign Jewish state. From the day Israel was founded in May, 1948, Israelis have fought against enormous odds for their lives and the life of their homeland. Jews learned their lesson about survival very well. Palestinians and their supporters have to realize that for Jews, never again is now. The 60,200 deaths in Gaza can be explained by: Hamas hiding armed fighters among the civilians of Gaza, which causes those civilians to lose their protected non-belligerent status under the rules of war. using hospitals, mosques, schools and other civilian structures as depots and firing points for missiles and other weapons. building military command centers in or underneath civilian buildings. disguising Hamas members as journalists and having Hamas members join international humanitarian groups as aid workers. using women and children as spotters for military missile and artillery attacks. launching an attack that killed 725 Israeli civilians and 71 foreigners, including 364 victims at the Supernova music festival. The attack had no military goal but was intended only to kill as many people as possible. taking 251 people hostage and holding them under inhuman conditions. raping women as well as mutilating and despoiling victims' corpses, then dragging the corpses through the streets of Gaza as Gazans cheered. Hamas killing any Gazan who opposes or even criticizes Hamas' policies. refusing to recognize the right of Israel to exist as a sovereign Jewish state, which makes a permanent peace settlement impossible. Destroying Hamas is Israel's only option to guarantee the security of it people. -

Report Generous CEO Donates 108 Million Baht to Ang Thong Hospital
Photo via Facebook/ โรงพยาบาลโพธิ์ทอง จ.อ่างทอง An elderly Thai CEO has won the hearts of netizens by donating over 108 million baht to Ang Thong Hospital. Somnuk Suksrikan, a humble philanthropist, funded 10 kidney dialysis machines worth 5 million baht and gave an additional 3 million baht in cash last Friday. The hospital’s Facebook page shared a photo of Somnuk touring the facility with Dr.Chokchai Wisetsittichok, the hospital director. This isn't Somnuk’s first act of generosity. Since 2012, he has consistently supported the hospital, starting with a 100 million baht donation for a six-storey building, now named after him. Somnuk's philanthropy extends beyond healthcare. He has also contributed to educational projects, funding new school facilities and providing resources for teachers and students. Despite his noble deeds, details about Somnuk’s personal life remain scarce. Netizens are eager for the media to cover his story. Many see him as a role model for other wealthy individuals, especially those from older generations, and commend him for prioritising hospitals and schools over temples, considering recent controversies involving financial mismanagement in religious institutions. Commenters have expressed wishes for Somnuk's health and prosperity, thanking him for significantly enhancing hospital services. His contributions have resulted in better healthcare experiences for many. As the CEO of the Mangmee Nakhon real estate project, Somnuk has quietly made a lasting impact through his generous donations and community support. His story, marked by humility and philanthropy, still moves many online. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The THaiger 2025-07-22
