Accident Polish Tourist Falls to Death from Phuket Condo Balcony
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A Polish tourist has died after falling from the fifth floor of a condominium in Patong, Phuket, in the early hours of the morning. The incident occurred in front of his wife, who was left in a state of shock. The victim, identified as Mr Sławomir, 34, was reportedly drinking alcohol with his wife on the balcony of their fifth-floor apartment shortly before the incident. According to police, he stood up, lost his balance and fell, suffering fatal injuries. The incident was reported to Patong Police Station at 00:15 on 3 May.. Pol Lt Col Channarong Prakongkuea, an investigator at the station, responded to the scene along with forensic officers, medical examiners from Vachira Phuket Hospital, and a local rescue foundation. Mr Sławomir was found lying near the perimeter wall of the condominium building. His wife, still visibly distraught, recounted that they had been sitting on the balcony drinking when he stood up and suddenly lost his balance. Forensic doctors conducted a preliminary examination of the body at the scene, after which the remains were transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a full post-mortem to determine the exact cause of death. Authorities have contacted the Polish Embassy to arrange for the repatriation of the body and to provide assistance to the grieving spouse. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-03. -

What Books Are You Reading ? (2025)
If you want some historical non-fiction which actually reads like an adventure fiction book try this one: The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk Summary from Goodreads: "For nearly a century the two most powerful nations on earth - Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia - fought a secret war in the lonely passes and deserts of Central Asia. Those engaged in this shadowy struggle called it 'The Great Game', a phrase immortalized in Kipling's Kim. When play first began the two rival empires lay nearly 2,000 miles apart. By the end, some Russian outposts were within 20 miles of India. This book tells the story of the Great Game through the exploits of the young officers, both British and Russian, who risked their lives playing it. Disguised as holy men or native horsetraders, they mapped secret passes, gathered intelligence, and sought the allegiance of powerful khans. Some never returned." You'll come away with a better understanding of today's current Geopolitical turmoil, but also, it was just a marvel what the early explorers of Eurasia endured during their journeys into unexplored (by Westerners) regions of some of the most rugged country on the planet. Like I said, it reads like a fictional adventure yarn, but it's historical accurate. It remains one of the top 5 books I've read in the last 15 years. -

Report OAG spokesperson says Region 6 prosecutors drop charges against Paul Chambers over lese-maje
American Academic Paul Chambers Loses Thai Uni Job U.S. political science lecturer Paul Chambers (left) of Thailand’s Naresuan University, stands outside the police station in Phitsanulok | Photo via AP An American academic finds himself at the centre of controversy after being axed from his position at Naresuan University. Dr. Paul Chambers lost his job effective April 9, 2025, following the cancellation of his visa. Naresuan University's Faculty of Social Sciences confirmed the termination, with Dr. Phanu Phutthawong, acting on behalf of the president, issuing the order. Further complications arose when immigration authorities in Phitsanulok seized Dr. Chambers' passport on May 1. This happened shortly after the Office of the Attorney General decided not to pursue charges against him. Dr. Chambers faced allegations under the lese majeste law and a computer crimes act violation, both of which stemmed from his participation in an online seminar. Dr. Chambers' lawyer, Wannaphat Jenroumjit, reported that his client's involvement in academic activities outside Thailand triggered the initial charges. Although relieved by the swift decision of the prosecutor, which aims to minimise Dr. Chambers' damages, the unresolved issue of his cancelled visa looms large. An appeal against the visa cancellation has been lodged, but immigration authorities have not yet responded. Dr. Chambers’ legal team remains hopeful while waiting for a decision. Meanwhile, the termination of Dr. Chambers' employment and his subsequent inability to remain in Thailand illustrate the serious repercussions academics can face amid legal disputes in the country.
