Married Birds and Flying Avocados — Grocery Runs in Patts Ain’t Always So Simple
So I’m stood there late yesterday evenin' in the queue at Foodland in Terminal 21, yeah, doin’ me usual bit of civilised shopping, ham, cheese, multipack of biscuits, bit of Twinnings English Brekkie teabags, thinkin’ I’ll get home, proper feet up, bit of Netflix, fall asleep halfway through some daft documentary about English gardens. Nice peaceful plan, yeah lads. Anyway, this bird in front of me’s got one of them hand baskets full of bits, the usual characters: mama noodles, shampoo, some fresh chicken's feet, some Tipco OJ, a stray avocado rollin’ around like it’s lost its mates. And then, typical play, basket tips, the whole lot spills everywhere. Sachets of breakfast porridge flyin’ across the tiles like confetti at a shotgun wedding. So I bends down, give her a helping hand, like a decent bloke does. She looks at me, flustered but still managing one of those soft little smiles, says thanks, then adds, “You stay here long time? You habb girlfriend mai?” Now that’s not the usual “cheers for pickin’ up me bits” line, is it. More like a tester, seein’ if there’s an opening. Then she flashes me that smile, flustered but cheeky, not just embarrassed, nah, there’s a bit of spark there. She’s tidy too, not your average flip-flop and yoga pants setup, nah, decent top, hair brushed, smells nice, proper bit of kit. I reckon she'd be worth a go. But right there I clock it. Hand comes up, brushing her hair back, and bang, big gold wedding ring, sparkling like it’s got its own postcode. And I’m thinkin’, here we go, casual grocery aisle flirtin’ from someone’s missus. Been here before, lads. Pattaya’s got more dodgy plots than stray soi dogs these days. I just give her the polite smile, bit of a nod, stand up sharp, brush me hands on me shorts like I’ve just finished a shift at the garage, and focus on me packets of ham and cheese like it’s national security. She smiles once more on the way out, one of them cheeky “you know you can” smiles, but I’m not about to become the lead character in someone else’s drama. Paid for me bits, strolled out, still hungry but not for someone's mashed-off husband. Pattaya. You can’t even buy biscuits without someone tryin’ to cast you in a love triangle that’s only ever gonna end in regret. -

Accident Firework Incident: Man Loses Four Fingers After Cigarette Ember Triggers Explosion
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 25-year-old man has suffered injuries after a firework exploded in his hand when a ember from a lit cigarette accidentally ignited the fuse, resulting in the amputation of four fingers. The incident occurred around 20:00 on 22 June in Moo 9, Sanam Chai subdistrict, Satuek district of Buriram province. Local rescue volunteers from Wang Krut Station responded swiftly to an emergency call reporting a serious fireworks injury. When rescue workers arrived at the scene, they found Mr Prayoon aged 25, writhing in pain with multiple fingers on his right hand shredded and bleeding profusely. The team provided immediate first aid before rushing him to Buriram Hospital, where doctors later had no choice but to amputate four fingers due to extensive bone damage and tissue loss. Ms Phut, 49, she was not present when the incident occurred but was informed by one of Mr Prayoon’s friends who brought him back home in a bloodied state. Alarmed by the extent of the injuries, she immediately called for rescue services. Ms Phut explained that Mr Prayoon and two friends had purchased fireworks from a local vendor with the intention of testing them ahead of the Buddhist Lent celebrations. “They just wanted to try out the colours and effects before using them properly during the festival,” she said. Mr Prayoon was reportedly holding the firework in his hand, intending to light it later, while smoking a cigarette. A stray ember from the cigarette is believed to have ignited the firework prematurely, causing it to explode in his grasp. The blast was so powerful it tore through his fingers, shattering bones and leaving his hand severely mutilated. Medical staff at Buriram Hospital confirmed that all four damaged fingers had to be surgically removed due to the severity of the injuries. Authorities are using this incident to reiterate the dangers of handling fireworks irresponsibly, especially in proximity to open flames such as cigarettes. Local officials are expected to issue further warnings as the Buddhist Lent period approaches, a time when fireworks are commonly used in celebrations. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-24 -
