20 Tourists Rescued After Landslide in Chiang Dao
In a coordinated effort, 20 stranded tourists were successfully rescued today after a landslide blocked the Chiang Dao-Mueang Khong road in Chiang Mai province. Mr. Kritphon Rachatmethanon, the Chiang Dao District Chief, led the operation, working alongside local authorities and emergency teams to clear the debris. With the support of heavy machinery from the Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organization, they were able to restore 6 kilometers of the road, clearing five major landslide points. This allowed the tourists, who had been trapped in the area, to return home safely. Efforts will continue tomorrow, with teams focusing on an additional five landslide-affected sections covering approximately 2 kilometers, aiming to fully reopen the route to Mueang Khong Subdistrict. Thanks to the quick and effective response, no injuries were reported, and the situation was brought under control swiftly. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-06 -

Gas Leak in Taxi Near Thai-Lao Border, Averted Just in Time
The situation unfolded at the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge border as a gas leak was detected in a Bangkok-registered taxi parked near the checkpoint. Thanks to the swift actions of authorities, the potential disaster was avoided before the gas ignited. The incident occurred on October 5, when officials from the emergency radio centre 1669 in Nong Khai province were alerted to a strong smell of gas emanating from a vehicle parked at the Tha Udom market near the 1st Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, in Mueang Nong Khai District. Fearing the risk of fire or explosion, police coordinated with VR Nong Khai Rescue and the local fire department, deploying to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities found the source of the leak, a green and yellow, Bangkok-registered taxi locked and parked amid several other vehicles in a lot primarily used by tourists traveling to Vientiane. The gas smell filled the area, prompting officers to spray water to suppress the fumes while they worked to open the vehicle’s doors and inspect the gas tank’s valve. The vehicle belonged to 57-year-old Mr. Jira from Nakhon Phanom province. Panomphrai, the parking lot attendant, explained that the taxi is a regular at the facility, usually left there for two to three days at a time. He mentioned that around 18.00., a faint smell of gas was noticed, but its source remained unclear. Once the source was identified, authorities were immediately notified. Panomphrai suggested that moving forward, safety protocols might need to be enhanced, potentially requiring gas-powered vehicles to be inspected or ensuring spare keys are available in case of emergencies. Jaras Sudsith, a 1669 radio operator involved in the crisis response, stated that upon arrival, their primary challenge was determining the type of gas involved, which was quickly identified as LPG. Without access to the car’s owner, responders had to maintain safety by spraying water to dilute the vapour and prevent ignition. After some time, they were able to unlock the car and check the gas valve, finding it closed. However, residual gas in the area required further monitoring to ensure it was fully dissipated. Thanks to the timely intervention, the situation was safely controlled, and no injuries or damages were reported. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-06 -

I guess you're converting baht to Pounds and vise versa in order to make that comparison but on a PPP basis those products are far cheaper here. It will also depend where in Thailand you buy those things. If you buy at Tops in Bangkok that's one thing. But if you buy at a local market where food is fresh and grown nearby, the price will be vastly different,
