Chainarong Killed in Phitsanulok House Wall Collapse

A quiet morning in Ban Mae Rahan turned tragic on January 8 when a concrete wall gave way and crushed a 43-year-old man who was resting in a hammock beside his house. The victim, identified as Chainarong, was pronounced dead at the scene in Moo 10, Ban Krang subdistrict, Mueang district, Phitsanulok. Local police, rescue teams and doctors from Naresuan University Hospital rushed to the property after an emergency call, only to find the collapsed portion of a partly wooden, partly concrete home and the hammock-keeper pinned beneath the rubble. The image is painfully ordinary: a fisherman who had returned home at about 7 a.m., tying one end of a hammock to a concrete window frame and the other to a nearby tree, then settling in for a well-deserved rest. What turned that ordinary moment into a catastrophe appears to have been the house itself. According to his father, 59-year-old…

Thailand News Roundup: Mutated H3N2 Surge, Phuket Viral Stunt & Harbin Snow-Sculpture Win

Welcome to your brisk round-up of Thailand and Southeast Asia — equal parts serious, jaw-dropping, and delightfully odd. From microscopic shape-shifters to snow sculptors from Bangkok, here’s what Alex and Jay would say if they were narrating the news with a cup of cha yen in hand. Mutated Flu Strain Sends Cases Climbing — But Don’t Panic Virologists are watching a mutated A H3N2 influenza strain that’s been slipping past shoulders and masks across Thailand. The Ministry of Public Health reported a record number of flu cases last year as H3N2 nudged H1N1 off centre stage. The twist: this mutation appears to lower the current vaccine’s effectiveness at preventing infection, though it hasn’t made the disease more severe. Antiviral treatments still work. Public-health experts are urging people to get vaccinated anyway — vaccines still reduce serious illness and are safe and available. Thailand expects updated Southern Hemisphere vaccine formulations by…

Bangkok shooting at Nida-Seri Thai Intersection: three injured in student clash

Bangkok’s late-afternoon calm was shattered on January 8 when gunfire erupted at the Nida-Seri Thai Intersection in Bueng Kum district, sending motorists scattering and snarling evening traffic for blocks. What began as a routine red-light stop turned into a chaotic scene that left three people injured — two teenage students and an unsuspecting driver caught in the crossfire. The shooting happened at about 5:30 p.m., right when the evening commute was peaking. According to witnesses and officers from Bueng Kum Police Station, a group of students from a Min Buri technology college — seven friends riding together on three motorcycles — collided with four rival students traveling on two motorcycles at the intersection. Tensions quickly escalated. Police say the rival group suddenly opened fire and then sped away, leaving behind stunned commuters and a traffic jam that stretched in every direction. Medical teams rushed three wounded people to Nopparat Hospital.…

Bangkok City Pillar Shrine: ISOC Cracks Down on Rogue Flower Vendors

The serene ritual of offering flowers at Bangkok’s City Pillar Shrine turned into an unwelcome hustle for some visitors — until authorities stepped in. On 9 January 2026, the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) Bangkok launched a targeted operation to crack down on rogue street vendors who have been pressuring tourists and worshippers into buying overpriced floral offerings outside the historic shrine. Located along Lak Mueang Road in the Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang district, the Bangkok City Pillar Shrine is a magnet for both locals seeking blessings and international visitors soaking in the capital’s cultural heritage. But recent weeks brought a darker side to the pilgrimage: unauthorised sellers allegedly forcing flowers into people’s hands and then demanding payment — a tactic that sparked an influx of public complaints and dented the area’s reputation. Undercover checks expose an aggressive sales tactic ISOC Bangkok, under the direction of Lt Gen Petchaek Intharathat,…

Ban Rai Yong Star Fiddler Crabs: Colourful Mangrove Spectacle in Trang

A Colourful Shoreline Ballet: Fiddler Crabs Steal the Show at Ban Rai Yong Star If you were wandering the mudflats of Trang’s mangroves on January 7, you might have stumbled into what looks like nature’s own paintbox come to life. At Ban Rai Yong Star in Palian district, tourists were treated to a surprising spectacle: vast swarms of fiddler crabs emerging from their burrows in a shimmering rush of colour and claws. It was less a wildlife sighting and more an impromptu crustacean carnival. Visitors who settled onto the muddy edge learned the best trick for getting a front-row seat: stay perfectly still. After a minute or two of patient silence, the crabs did what they do best—peek, scamper, and feed. They plucked decaying plant material and tiny organisms from the silt, scuttling about the mangrove margins as if the mudflats were a gourmet buffet. Meet the Cast: Males, Females,…
