On October 22, 2026, Police Lieutenant Colonel Praphat Sisangchan, Superintendent of Pak Phanang Police Station in Nakhon Si Thammarat, led investigators, a duty doctor from Pak Phanang Hospital, and Pracharuamjai Foundation rescuers to examine the electrocution death at a construction site inside Wat Ram Pradit in Bang Phra subdistrict, Pak Phanang district.
