Tour Boat Capsizes in Cheow Lan Dam in Storm: Search for Missing French Tourist
A long-tail tour boat carrying 13 people capsized in the Cheow Lan Dam (Ratchaprapha Dam) in Surat Thani province after being hit by a sudden storm, leaving one French tourist missing and others injured. The incident occurred just before noon on November 23, near the scenic Three Friends Mountain (Khao Sam Kler), a popular tourist attraction in the area. The missing passenger, 83-year-old Mr. Rene Mary Corre, was among a group of 10 French tourists on a trip to Thailand, guided by a local tour company. According to Ms. Petchaluck Ruchirawarat, the group’s tour guide, the weather was initially clear when they departed from the pier to explore the dam, often called “Thailand’s Guilin” for its stunning limestone formations. “The sky was beautiful when we started,” she recounted. “The group took photos at a popular spot, and everything seemed normal. But just seven minutes after we left the photo area, dark clouds appeared, and heavy rain with strong winds struck suddenly, capsizing the boat at 11:45.” Ms. Petchaluck confirmed that all passengers were wearing life jackets when the boat overturned. Most of the group, including the guide and the boat operator, were rescued by nearby tour boats. However, Mr. Corre was swept away by strong currents. Following the incident, search and rescue operations were launched, coordinated by district officials and national park authorities. GPS tracking from the missing tourist’s phone led rescuers to find a floating bag belonging to him near the scene. Twelve individuals, including four French tourists who suffered minor injuries, were brought back to safety. Two of them were treated for chest pains and water inhalation at a local hospital, while another was transferred to Surat Thani Hospital for further care. At 18:00 search efforts were suspended due to worsening weather and rough water conditions, with operations set to resume on November 24 at first light.. Local authorities are investigating the cause of the accident and have questioned the boat operator. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable weather conditions that can occur during Thailand’s monsoon season, even on seemingly clear days. Authorities urged operators and tourists to exercise caution and stay updated on weather forecasts when exploring natural attractions. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24 -

Is this the "Little Surprise" of 47 and the Speaker?
Socialism is a political and economic theory that advocates for the community, rather than individuals, to own and manage resources and property. It's based on the idea that public ownership of the means of production will lead to a more equal society. Socialism is not welfare. Socialism is a system where the government owns the means of production. All the businesses are owned by and run by the government. -

Surin Man Drives Car with Pedestrian’s Body on Roof for Over 30 Km Before Being Stopped
An incident in Surin Province has left the local community in disbelief after a man driving a car unknowingly carried the body of a pedestrian he had struck on the roof of his vehicle for more than 30 kilometres. According to Pol. Col. Karom Boonsod, Chief of Tha Tum Police Station, the accident occurred earlier in the evening of November 23, at approximately 19:00, the driver, identified as Mr. Teerapat, a resident of That Subdistrict, Rattanaburi District, Surin Province, struck a man who was crossing the road. The impact caused the pedestrian’s body to land on the roof of Mr. Teerapat’s car. Unaware of the situation, Mr. Teerapat continued driving along the road from Chom Phra District to Tha Tum District. Meanwhile, officers from Chom Phra and Tha Tum Police Stations, along with rescue volunteers, coordinated efforts to locate and stop the vehicle after receiving reports from other motorists who noticed blood dripping from the car. Eventually, authorities intercepted the vehicle and detained Mr. Teerapat for questioning. He stated that he had poor visibility while driving and did not realise he had struck someone. He also claimed he was unaware that the victim’s body had landed on the roof of his car until the police stopped him. Witnesses following the car confirmed seeing the body on the roof, prompting them to alert local authorities. The deceased, whose identity remains unknown, is believed to have been a man crossing the road. Police are currently working to identify the victim and notify his family.

Myanmar Worker Rescued After Hand Trapped in Meat Grinder for Two Hours
A 26-year-old Myanmar worker endured an ordeal when his hand became trapped in a meat grinder at a pork shop in central Nakhon Nayok. It took over two hours for rescue teams to free him before rushing him to Nakhon Nayok Hospital with parts of the machine still attached to his hand. The incident occurred around 14:30 on November 23, at a shop located in the bustling Senaphinitch Road market. Emergency responders from Ruam Katanyu Rescue Unit were called to the scene, where they found the worker sitting beside the machine, his right hand stuck inside the grinder from his fingers to his wrist. Initial attempts to contact the shop's manager and a technician to dismantle the machine were unsuccessful. With the worker showing signs of exhaustion and increasing pain, rescuers decided to use hydraulic cutting tools and an electric saw to dismantle the grinder piece by piece. The process took over two hours, as medics administered IV fluids and monitored the worker's condition. By the second hour, his condition and pain had worsened, heightening the urgency of the rescue. Once freed from most of the machine, the worker was transported on a stretcher to Nakhon Nayok Hospital with parts of the grinder still attached to his hand. Medical teams at the hospital are worked to remove the remaining equipment and assess the extent of his injuries. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24
