Van Used for Carrying Psychiatric Patient Collides with Trailer, Leaving 3 Dead & 1 Injured
In the early hours of November 24, a crash occurred on Phetkasem Road near kilometre marker 330+500 in Huai Yang Subdistrict, Thap Sakae District, Prachuap Khiri Khan. A red-plate Toyota van used for transporting a psychiatric patient collided with the rear of a trailer truck, resulting in three fatalities and one injury. The accident happened at approximately 02:15 just 2 kilometres before Wanakorn Beach National Park. The van, used by the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) to transport a psychiatric patient for treatment in Nakhon Pathom, was returning to Chumphon when the crash occurred. The van was driven by Mr. Manat Chuyao, 52, a municipal councilor in Chum Kho Subdistrict, Chumphon Province. He was also the owner of the van. Mr. Manat was among those killed in the accident, alongside: 1. Police Sergeant Kittiphan Khwansomkit, 39, a Border Patrol Police officer working with the NSB (seated in the front passenger seat). 2. Mr. Kriangkrai Rungruang, 52, a driver for the Chumphon Provincial Public Health Office. The sole survivor, Police Senior Sergeant Major Surasak Khantasinth, 47, also an NSB officer, sustained injuries and was transported to Thap Sakae Hospital for treatment. The van collided with a Hino trailer truck driven by Mr. Phan Pantharun, 52, from Ayutthaya. He was uninjured and is cooperating with authorities during the investigation. Preliminary investigations suggest that the van’s driver fell asleep at the wheel due to fatigue from the long journey. The van crashed into the trailer in the left lane with great force. Rescuers had to use hydraulic tools to extricate the victims from the severely damaged van. Police Senior Sergeant Major Surasak, the only conscious survivor, managed to call for help by dialing 191. Emergency responders, including officers from Huai Yang Police Station, rescue teams from Thap Sakae Hospital, and local volunteers, quickly arrived at the scene. Authorities have launched a full investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash. Autopsies of the deceased will be conducted, and the trailer truck driver will be questioned further. Legal actions will follow as necessary. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-25 -

How to make friends ... on forums like this (parts 1-2-3 of 9)
Well that's just it isn't it? You don't know where anyone on this forum is or who they are. It's always better for the real professionals to remain out of sight and reach of their marks - be they romance scammers, bitcoin scammers or penny stock pumpers or whatever. And there are enough quasi concentration camps in Cambodia in particular where legions of trafficked victims are forced to 'fatten pigs' for the final kill. India is full of them. No way would I move onto another platform. Why? There'd be absolutely nothing in it for me. And I'd be opening myself to unknown potential threats - totally unnecessarily as I have a full enough diary as it is. -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
Marrying a Thai woman often sounds like a unique and appealing opportunity, but how can one know in advance what they’re really getting themselves into? The idea of having a potentially beautiful, caring, and devoted wife who values family and home life is undoubtedly enticing. Add the cultural charm, great food, and warmth that many Thai women are known for, and it’s easy to see why many foreigners might be encouraged to take the plunge. But is the reality as perfect as it seems? Financial expectations, for example, can be a major consideration. In many cases, marrying a Thai woman involves supporting her family to some extent. Is this considered a reasonable cultural norm, or does it often become an overwhelming burden on the husband over time? And how can foreigners navigate this expectation without running into relational challenges and a feeling of being fleeced? Cultural compatibility is another question. The whole Thai cultural aspect that values harmony and “saving face” can sometimes lead to indirect communication. Does this help relationships by reducing unnecessary conflict, or does it cause frustration for someone from the West who is used to a more direct approach? And what about language barriers? How much do they limit deeper connections and understanding between two people when both partners might struggle to fully express themselves because of language? Finally, there’s the lifestyle factor. Some thrive in cross-cultural marriages, embracing the blend of tradition and modernity that a Thai wife can bring. But others might find themselves struggling to bridge the gap between two very different ways of life. So, is having a Thai wife everything it’s cracked up to be, or does it come with more challenges than would be expecting or find acceptable? For those already married or considering it, what other questions or concerns should weigh the most on one's mind before taking such a plunge? -

It's a Atlas Moth, Emperor Moth, or a close relative. So it's definitely a MAGAmoth then. -
