5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
This: You can stay 180 days, then you need to extend at immigration or leave Thailand. You can only extent once, then you need to leave Thailand. Next time you enter Thailand, you get 180 days etc. The visa is valid for 5 years, meaning you can stay up to 5½ years with a few breaks from when it is issued (and entering the last time just before the valid until date). -

Accident Hua Hin Storm: Tragic Electrocution Exposes Electrical Hazards
Picture courtesy of Lets Tour Bangkok A devastating storm in Hua Hin on Saturday night led to the tragic deaths of two individuals, electrocuted after their motorbike collided with a sagging power cable in flash flood conditions. This incident has raised urgent safety concerns and prompted officials to review the town's electrical infrastructure. The tragedy occurred on Soi 94, near the Dusit Land 10 housing estate, during heavy rainfall and flooding around 8:30 p.m. The pair, navigating their motorbike through submerged roads, inadvertently struck a low-hanging electrical wire. This impact caused the wire to fall, sending a deadly electrical current through the victims. Witnesses reported hearing a distress call from one of the riders, prompting immediate assistance from bystanders who rushed the victims to Hua Hin Hospital. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, both were pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Authorities, including forensic teams from Hua Hin Hospital and the Prachuap Khiri Khan Provincial Forensic Unit, have conducted examinations of the scene and the victims. Initial investigations by local police are focusing on the condition of the area’s electrical systems to understand the cause of the wire's dangerous positioning. Superintendent Police Colonel Kampanat Na Wichai of Hua Hin Police Station has emphasized caution to residents and motorists, particularly during heavy rainfall when roads may be flooded, and cables can pose unseen dangers. He stated, "We’re urging the public to exercise extreme caution. Roads may be underwater and wires could hang lower; do not touch or approach them." Local authorities are now urging the prompt reporting of any loose or low-hanging wires by contacting Hua Hin Police at 032-511027 or dialing 191. This incident has intensified efforts from safety officials and utility providers to mitigate risks and prevent future tragedies, although for the affected families, the intervention comes too late. As the rainy season progresses, this incident underscores the critical need for diligent maintenance and inspection of electrical infrastructure to safeguard residents and prevent further loss of life in Hua Hin.
