Addressing these concerns, the TMD highlighted the typical duration of the Thai summer season, which usually spans from mid-February to mid-May, lasting approximately two and a half months.</p><p>During this period, the Earth’s orbit brings the country closer to the sun, and the sun’s rays strike the tropical zone at a perpendicular angle. This is especially true in April, when the sun is almost directly overhead at midday in Thailand, leading to maximum solar radiation exposure.</p><p>The hot season is characterised by unpredictable wind directions, often weak, combined with regular low-pressure areas caused by the heat, contributing to the sweltering conditions. Temperatures can occasionally exceed 40 degrees Celsius, creating a challenging environment for the population.</p><p>However, as the rainy season starts from mid-May to about mid-October, the southwest monsoon, laden with humidity, covers Thailand. This monsoon not only helps to disperse the heat but also results in increased rainfall, which generally lowers the temperature.</p><p>By September, which marks the latter part of the rainy season, widespread rainfall is common across the country, and the average temperature is not excessively high due to persistent rain and high humidity, as well as the strength of the monsoon, reported KhaoSod.</p><p>The TMD assures that the heat situation eases with the onset of the rainy season and that the hot conditions should not extend into September. Should any severe weather patterns impact the public, the department promises to issue immediate warnings and advises people to regularly follow <a href="https://thethaiger.com/tag/thailand-weather-forcast">weather forecasts</a>.</p><p>The story <a href="https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/weather/thailand-weather-experts-debunk-extended-summer-rumors">Thailand weather experts debunk extended summer rumors</a> as seen on <a href="https://thethaiger.com/">Thaiger News</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Bangkok traffic cop killed by drunk driver during charity event</title> <link>https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/road-deaths/bangkok-traffic-cop-killed-by-drunk-driver-during-charity-event</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Nattapong Westwood]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 28 Apr 2024 06:59:21 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Road deaths]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thailand News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drunk driving]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Police]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Taxi driver]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thethaiger.com/?p=742021</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>A sobering incident occurred this morning when a traffic policeman was tragically killed by a drunk taxi driver while he was on duty facilitating traffic for a charity run event organised by a prominent university in Bangkok.

The green and yellow taxi, with the Bangkok licence plate 1มค67, swerved and collided with him, causing severe injuries. The impact was so severe that he was thrown into the air before landing. Despite being rushed to the hospital, his injuries proved fatal.</p><p>The latest update on Deputy Inspector Assada’s condition was grim. His wife reported that he was in critical condition, suffering from extremely low blood pressure. The medical team at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital was unable to provide any further information due to the severity of his condition.</p><p>Tragically, subsequent reports confirmed that Deputy Inspector Assada had succumbed to his injuries and passed away following his admission to the hospital.

The incident, which occurred at approximately 5.20pm, involved one male and two female passengers who were unable to open the lift doors. The passengers were successfully rescued at 6.19pm.</p><p>CCTV footage confirmed that the passengers were stuck for an hour, after which they received initial medical attention. The lift was subsequently taken out of service for inspection and repair, which was carried out by Kone, the company responsible for the lift’s maintenance.</p><p>The lift had been regularly serviced and maintained according to schedule, and efforts were underway to determine any technical defects and further details.</p><p>The Department of Rail Transport (DRT) emphasised the need for stricter supervision of service providers, regular training for BTS station staff, and frequent emergency drills to ensure prompt action in such situations.</p><p>There was also an increase in the number of ready-to-respond staff at different points and a call for improved collaboration among related agencies for faster resolution of incidents. Additionally, BTSC was instructed to expedite compensation and remediation for the three affected passengers according to relevant regulations.</p><p>Pichet reported that the BTS station at Bearing (E14) on the Sukhumvit Line alerted the authorities at 5.21pm about the trapped passengers. Kone technicians were immediately contacted to assist, and by 6.19pm, they had successfully rescued the passengers at street level. Following the incident, the lift was closed for investigation and repair before being reopened for normal service.</p><p>Pichet also mentioned that, in the wake of the incident, the Deputy Transport Minister expressed his regrets and assured that the DRT would conduct a thorough investigation. The incident has prompted the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), as the project owner, and BTSC, as the BTS operator, to enhance staff training and emergency response drills, reported KhaoSod.</p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Lift malfunction</strong></span></p><p>They are also coordinating with Kone to increase the number of preparedness points, enabling faster travel to stations if needed.

The episode, which happened near the Central Phuket intersection of Chaloem Phrakiat Rama 9 Road, was promptly shared on social media by onlookers who captured footage of the irate driver confronting the taxi driver.</p><p>The Phuket Transport Office was alerted to the incident, prompting them to liaise with Wichit <a href="https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="8" title="Crime">police</a> to take control of the situation. The superintendent of Wichit Police Station, Chatri Chukaew, commanded a team to delve into the matter. They managed to swiftly identify the white Toyota van’s driver through the vehicle’s licence plates and traced him to a residence in Thalang.</p><p>The perpetrator, 57 year old Thanongsak Maenman, from Village No. 1, Thepkrasattri Subdistrict, Thalang, was taken into custody. Police conducted blood and urine tests at Wichit police station to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs in his system. Both tests confirmed negative results.</p><p>In his account to the police, Thanongsak alleged that the taxi driver was moving at an exceedingly slow pace in the right-hand lane, which incited his anger. He honked his horn and pulled up alongside the taxi as traffic began to decelerate.</p><p>Subsequently, he exited his vehicle, approached the driver’s side of the taxi, and a heated argument broke out. Thanongsak then unveiled a fruit peeler-style knife, threatening the <a href="https://thethaiger.com/tag/drivers">driver</a>, who managed to escape, reported The Phuket News.</p><p>The taxi driver filed an official complaint with Wichit Police, leading to charges against Thanongsak. He is facing charges for carrying a weapon (knife) openly or without reasonable cause into a city, village, or public place and causing fear or fright by threatening behaviour. The police have confirmed that legal action and formal charges will be instituted accordingly.</p><p>The story <a href="https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/phuket-van-driver-brandishes-knife-in-road-rage-incident">Phuket van driver brandishes knife in road rage incident</a> as seen on <a href="https://thethaiger.com/">Thaiger News</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Laos considers Thailand’s proposal for ASEAN troika meetings</title> <link>https://thethaiger.com/news/national/laos-considers-thailands-proposal-for-asean-troika-meetings-to-resolve-myanmar-crisis</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Mitch Connor]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 28 Apr 2024 03:53:35 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thailand News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ASEAN]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Laos]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thethaiger.com/?p=741948</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Nikorndej Balankura, confirmed that Laos has received and is considering Thailand’s proposal for ASEAN Troika and Troika plus meetings, which aim to alleviate the ongoing crisis in Myanmar.

This proposal has been presented to Laos, which currently holds the chair position in ASEAN for this year.</p><p>The ASEAN Troika refers to a community body that comprises foreign ministers of the previous, current, and next ASEAN chair countries, which are Indonesia, Laos, and Malaysia, respectively. The plus in the proposal signifies the inclusion of other interested ASEAN members who are keen on facilitating peace or are alarmed by the ongoing crisis.</p><p>However, Nikorndej stated that the other ASEAN members have not yet explored the Asean Troika plus. A timeline for the ASEAN Troika meeting has not been established, as discussions among stakeholders have yet to occur. Laos, in its capacity as the ASEAN chair, will need to initiate discussions with the involved ASEAN members.</p><p>Nikorndej expressed Thailand’s desire for <a href="https://thethaiger.com/tag/asean">ASEAN</a> to adopt a more proactive role in addressing the situation in Myanmar, highlighting the ASEAN Troika as an apt platform for this.</p><p>“We are ready to talk if they ask us to do so.”</p><p>He also noted that the situation had shown signs of peace over the past two days. Thailand, being a neighbouring country to Myanmar, is prepared to consult with Myanmar and other international organisations to collaborate further and alleviate the crisis.</p><p>Reuters reported that on April 11, resistance fighters and ethnic minority rebels in Myanmar had seized the critical trading town of Myawaddy, which borders Thailand.

Two sub-committees were established to evaluate public sentiment on the matter and devise guidelines for a referendum.</p><p>Phumtham’s panel concluded that holding a trio of referenda would provide a more secure legal footing. However, this decision was not presented to the Cabinet for consideration until last week, following Pheu Thai list-MP Chusak Sirinil’s submission of a bill to Parliament in January to alter the constitutional clause governing amendments.</p><p>Despite resistance from some quarters, who saw it as a ploy to pave the way for a new charter requiring a preliminary referendum, the ruling party maintained that MPs have complete authority to amend the charter.</p><p>Consequently, the bill failed to make it onto the parliamentary agenda, prompting a vote in the House to seek a ruling from the Constitutional Court on the dispute and the number of charter amendment referenda required.</p><p>In mid-April, the court dismissed the petition, ruling that it had already addressed the issue and that it fell outside the parliament’s jurisdiction. The court had previously ruled that a charter rewrite could not commence without a preceding referendum.</p><p>Nikorn Chamnong, the head of the sub-panel gathering opinions on the matter, said that the objective of the charter amendment is to democratise the charter without revising Chapters 1 and 2. However, opinions on the number of referenda needed vary, hence the establishment of two sub-panels to ensure a comprehensive representation of perspectives.</p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Charter rewrite</strong></span></p><p>Nikorn, a Chartthaipattana Party list MP, stated that the decision on the referendum has returned to the government following the court’s dismissal of the petition. Once the Cabinet endorses the Phumtham panel’s recommendations, the issue will be forwarded to the Election Commission which is required to act within 90 days.</p><p>Despite potential obstacles, Nikorn voiced his confidence that the entire charter rewrite process can be finished before the term of the current House expires in three years. He anticipates the first referendum will take place this year or next, with the charter drafting assembly likely to be established before 2026, reported <a href="https://www.bangkokpost.com/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="19" title="Bangkok Post">Bangkok Post</a>.</p><p>Despite the government’s efforts, Nutthawut Buaprathum, a list-MP of the main opposition Move Forward Party (MFP), claimed that the charter rewrite was included on the policy platforms of multiple parties in both the government and opposition camps.</p><p>He expressed doubt about the government’s political will to push the process forward, calling for the release of the committee’s reports and coordination with parliament to position the amendment bills on the agenda.</p><p>The story <a href="https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/politics/pheu-thais-promised-peoples-charter-still-unfulfilled-seven-months-in">Pheu Thai people’s charter still unfulfilled seven months in</a> as seen on <a href="https://thethaiger.com/">Thaiger News</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Bangkok’s eastern flank gets a wetland forest for recreation</title> <link>https://thethaiger.com/news/bangkok/bangkoks-eastern-flank-gets-a-wetland-forest-for-recreation</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Mitch Connor]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 28 Apr 2024 03:35:24 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Bangkok News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Environment News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thailand News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bangkok]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Forest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[park]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thethaiger.com/?p=741945</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is transforming an 86-rai plot of land situated on Bangkok’s eastern flank into a wetland forest, a green space designed to provide urban dwellers with fresh air and recreational facilities.

Its initial purpose was to act as a floodwater-retention basin, absorbing surplus rainfall and averting flooding in the eastern part of Bangkok.</p><p>Over time, this area, which boasts a rich ecological system due to its native plant species and association with surrounding communities, evolved into a public park. It has become a popular spot for locals seeking exercise, relaxation, and leisure activities.</p><p>Given its wetland attributes and its relative proximity to two additional public parks, Seri Thai Park and Navaminphirom Park, the BMA has resolved to enhance the site into a district park, operating under the Bangkok Wetland Forest (BWF) concept.</p><p>The development plan for the new park, put forth by the BMA, includes a 3,060-metre-long asphalt-covered walkway and a 420-metre waterside walkway, complete with a protective barrier.

The man, whose identity remains unknown, parked his bike outside the Kasikorn Bank on Phang Nga Road, an illegal <a href="https://thethaiger.com/tag/parking">parking</a> area, around noon on April 26. This led to traffic <a href="https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="8" title="Crime">police</a> putting a wheel lock and chain on his vehicle.</p><p>An eyewitness who observed and photographed the incident explained in a social media post that the man initially attempted to shake the lock off his bike. When this proved unsuccessful, he left the scene, only to return approximately five minutes later. The onlooker suspected that the man had gone to the police station to pay the fine and have his bike released.</p><p>Yet, much to their surprise, the man returned wielding a pair of bolt cutters. He proceeded to use these to sever the chain and remove the wheel lock. In addition, he appeared to signal to the witness to remain silent, making a hush sign with his index finger against his lips, before departing on his now free motorbike.</p><p>The eyewitness’s social media post documenting the incident has since stirred considerable controversy. Many social media users have expressed their anger at the man’s actions. Several commenters have questioned why the man didn’t simply pay the fine, which they suggested would have been cheaper than buying a pair of bolt cutters, reported The <a href="https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="Phuket">Phuket</a> News.</p><p>As of now, there is no information regarding the man’s identity, nationality, age, or the reasoning behind his actions.
