A young pickup truck driver heading to Songkran celebrations was forced to swerve when a motorcycle cut in front of him, causing him to lose control, hit a barrier, and flip onto its side. Five male passengers were severely injured, trapped and piled on top of each other inside the vehicle.

On April 26, 2569, Bang Pa-in Police investigators revealed that at 10 p.m. on April 25, they received a report of a flipped pickup truck on Asia Road, southbound lane at kilometer 15 in Ban Krot, Bang Pa-in District, Ayutthaya Province. Rescue teams from the Ayutthaya United Association responded immediately.

At the scene, they found an Isuzu pickup registered in Ayutthaya flipped on its side in the far right lane with severe damage. Inside, five male victims were trapped and compressed against each other. Rescue workers carefully extracted them one by one through the broken windshield before providing first aid and transporting them to Ratchadamnoen Hospital.

According to 20-year-old Werotsorn (surname withheld), one of the injured, the group was traveling from Bang Pa-in District heading to Songkran festivities in Ayutthaya city when a motorcycle suddenly cut in front of them. The driver swerved sharply, causing the truck to lose control and crash into the left barrier, then spin and hit the center barrier on the right before flipping over.

Initial investigation found impact marks on the left barrier with vehicle debris scattered across the road. Investigators believe the truck hit the left barrier, spun, struck the center barrier, and flipped. No other vehicles hit the truck afterward, so there were no fatalities.

Police will conduct further detailed interviews with the injured to determine the exact cause of the accident.

A motorcycle plunged into a 5-meter-deep water pipe pit on a Bangkok road on April 25, critically injuring a 49-year-old woman while the male driver escaped; authorities are investigating whether adequate warning signs were posted at the co

26 Apr Khaosod

On April 26, 2569, Deputy Inspector Noprat Bunsri of Rattanathebesorn Police Station revealed that at 11 p.m. on April 25, officers received a report of a motorcycle that had plunged into an underground water pipe pit on Pracha Chuen Road near Pracha Chuen 4 Alley, Bang Khen Subdistrict, Mueang District, Nonthaburi Province. They rushed to the scene with volunteers from the Po Teck Tung Foundation.

The accident occurred on a four-lane road on the inbound side toward the Phong Phetchburi intersection. Water utility workers had opened a pit measuring 2 meters wide, 4 meters long, and 5 meters deep to lay large underground water pipes. Two people had fallen into the pit along with a motorcycle, with one person managing to climb out.

Rescue teams then used rappelling equipment to lower personnel and retrieve the other victim, identified as Ratchasunee (surname withheld), 49 years old, who was suffering from serious head injuries. She was transported to Mongkutwattana Hospital. The black and red Honda PCX motorcycle bearing Bangkok license plates was also recovered from the pit.

When questioned, driver Manop (surname withheld), 50 years old, stated he could not see the pit opening and his motorcycle plunged in. He had been driving to drop off his younger companion at a condominium. After falling in, he managed to climb out but was concerned about his companion still in the pit.

Eighteen-year-old worker Danai (surname withheld) stated that at the time of the accident, he was sitting on the back of a 10-wheel truck near the pit's edge. When he saw the motorcycle fall in, he initially spotted only a man, who later climbed out. Upon checking again, he found a woman unconscious in the water. He then entered the pit and held her above the water line.

Footage from security cameras showed that water pipe workers had used a 10-wheel truck to block the leftmost lane while opening the pit, allowing traffic to use the right lanes with traffic cones placed in a line. At 10:37 p.m., the injured motorcyclist's vehicle sped into the pit before the driver climbed out to call for help.

Police plan to summon the water pipe work supervisor for questioning and will investigate whether proper warning signs and lights were posted during the work. The two injured victims will be questioned after receiving medical treatment.

Today's Weather: Meteorological Department Names 45 Provinces Under Heavy Rain Alert, Including Bangkok

Thailand's Meteorological Department warns of heavy rainfall affecting 45 provinces with up to 40% coverage, strong winds, and severe conditions particularly in northern regions through May 1. A new round of summer storms featuring thunderstorms, hail, and lightning is expected to impact northern Thailand between April 28 and May 1, with the northern and central regions also experiencing hazardous dust and haze levels. Residents are urged to take precautions against dangerous weather conditions and maintain health during this volatile weather period.

25 Apr Khaosod

On April 26, 2025, the Thai Meteorological Department forecasted that rainfall in northern Thailand will begin to decrease over the next 24 hours, though thunderstorms with strong gusty winds and heavy rain remain possible in some areas across the northern region. Southern and southeast winds are bringing moisture from the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea, affecting the northeastern, northern, central regions, Bangkok and its surrounding areas, with weakening conditions in the eastern region. Residents in affected areas should remain alert to dangers from thunderstorms, strong winds, and heavy rainfall while maintaining health precautions during this weather transition.

A second summer storm system is expected to develop across northern Thailand between April 28 and May 1, featuring thunderstorms, strong gusty winds, hail in some areas, and possible lightning strikes, beginning in the northeastern, northern, and eastern regions before affecting the central region and Bangkok area. Additionally, dust and haze accumulation in the northern and upper central regions currently exceeds air quality standards due to high heat source density surpassing air circulation capacity. The public is advised to avoid open areas and wear N95 masks when outdoors for safety.

Detailed provincial forecasts show the northern region with afternoon heat, 40% thunderstorm coverage, strong winds, and heavy rain in areas including Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Phayao, Nan, Phrae, Uttaradit, Tak, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun, with temperatures between 21-38°C.

Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli narrowly defeated Japan's Machida Zelvia to claim the AFC Champions League Elite title at King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on April 25. Al Ahli deployed ten foreign players led by former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, ex-Manchester City and Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez, former AC Milan and Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessié, and ex-Brentford striker Ivan Toney, essentially playing as the home team with packed local fan support. Machida Zelvia, recently promoted to the J-League three seasons ago, pressed continuously in defense. The match remained deadlocked at 0-0 until the 68th minute when Saudi defender Sakarya Al Hawsawi received a red card, forcing the match to extra time. In the 96th minute, Al Ahli broke through when Riyad Mahrez threaded a deep pass to the far post, and Franck Kessié controlled the ball before Firas Al-Bikan, an Al Ahli substitute, fired in the winning goal. This marks Al Ahli's second championship in the AFC's premier Asian competition, following their 2024-2025 season title. Saudi clubs have now claimed eight AFC Champions League Elite titles combined: Al Hilal four times, Al Ittihad twice, and Al Ahli twice.

Authorities Raid Two Underground Gambling Dens in Bangkok's Ratchadamnoen-Serihai Areas, Arrest Over 100 Gamblers

Thai authorities conducted simultaneous raids on two major underground gambling dens in Bangkok's Ratchadamnoen and Serihai areas, arresting over 100 gamblers and seizing approximately 350,000 baht in cash. The illegal operations were running as sophisticated, air-conditioned facilities offering multiple gambling games including hi-lo and online betting, with estimated daily turnovers exceeding 1 million baht. Officials indicated the raids are part of a broader national crackdown on illegal gambling and expect similar operations to close voluntarily or face immediate arrest.

25 Apr Khaosod

At 9:00 PM on April 25, 2569, Ranrong Tipsiri, director of the Law Enforcement Operations Center, led a special enforcement unit from the Department of Local Administration in raids on two underground gambling dens in central Bangkok.

The first location was a single-story warehouse on Ratchadamnoen Road in Samwa Thawan subdistrict, Klongsamwa district. Officers found 63 gamblers—33 men and 30 women—along with gambling equipment including hi-lo tables, poker cards, and fish-shooting arcade machines. Authorities seized approximately 300,000 baht in cash and other equipment, bringing all suspects to Nimibutr Police Station for investigation.

The second location was a single-story warehouse inside an abandoned gas station on Serihai Road 9, Khlong Khum subdistrict, Bueng Khum district. Officers arrested 41 gamblers—21 men and 20 women—and seized 50,000 baht in cash along with hi-lo gambling equipment. All suspects were transferred to Bueng Khum Police Station for legal proceedings.

Ranrong stated that residents had filed complaints about the Ratchadamnoen gambling den, prompting undercover investigators to gather intelligence. The warehouse was officially rented as a storage facility since November 2568, but the operators converted it into a 24-hour gambling operation with limited capacity managed in rotating shifts due to crowding. Initial investigation suggests daily gambling turnover exceeds 1 million baht. The operation featured air conditioning, hi-lo games, fish-shooting machines, and online gambling. Authorities believe these raids will serve as a warning to other gambling operations throughout Bangkok and expect some dens to voluntarily close. However, officials vow to immediately arrest operators of any newly discovered illegal gambling venues. This crackdown follows directives from the Prime Minister and Interior Minister to intensify enforcement against illegal gambling operations.

Woman Accuses Fitness Center of Negligence After Male Maintenance Worker Appears in Sauna While She's Wearing Only a Towel; Membership Cancelled

A woman in Udon Thani province filed a complaint against a hotel fitness center after a male maintenance worker stared at her while she was wearing only a towel in the women's sauna area. When she sought an apology from management, she was met with hostility and her membership was cancelled, prompting her to pursue legal action for emotional distress damages.

25 Apr Khaosod

A 30-year-old woman, Ms. M., has filed a complaint against a hotel fitness center in Udon Thani province after an incident on April 25, 2025. After finishing her sauna session, she was standing at the reception area in just a towel with wet hair, preparing to shower, when a housekeeper brought in a male maintenance worker to repair the sauna room. The worker stared directly at her without looking away before entering the sauna room. Ms. M. quickly dressed and left the hotel to calm herself, never having experienced such a situation before.

When she requested a meeting with the female manager to seek an apology and accountability, she was instead met with poor treatment and emotional outbursts. The manager was unwilling to have the staff apologize or promise the incident wouldn't happen again. After Ms. M. posted about the incident on Facebook, the fitness center owner contacted her via chat, but soon after, the manager cancelled her membership without accepting responsibility.

Ms. M. stated she spent a sleepless night feeling anxious and stressed. She reported the incident to police, but was confronted with hostility and questions about her right to take photos on the property. She has now filed a legal claim seeking six-figure compensation for emotional distress. The hotel's Facebook page later posted an apology, stating "We sincerely apologize for what occurred. This was an error that should never have happened. We understand our customer felt unsafe. We have reviewed and improved our operational procedures and instructed our staff accordingly to prevent such incidents in the future."
