A factory worker riding a motorcycle was heading home in strong winds when a large roadside tree branch snapped and struck him fatally on the head. At 5:30 PM on April 25, 2569, Police Lieutenant Mongkol Praisuun from Srimohosot Police Station in Prachuap Khiri Khan received a report of a large tree branch that fell onto a motorcyclist on Khiri-Srimohosot Road in Tambon Kok Thai, Amphoe Srimohosot, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. He coordinated with Srimohosot Hospital and responded with rescue teams from the Prachuap Province United Hearts Foundation and Sawang Bamphen Foundation.

At the scene on the roadway, authorities found a large tree branch over 20 meters long that had fallen onto a black and red Honda motorcycle, which was severely damaged. The motorcyclist, a 46-year-old man, was found on the road with critical head injuries. Rescue personnel and local residents had to work together with saws to cut through the branches to retrieve the victim's body and clear the roadway for normal traffic flow.

Investigation revealed the victim was returning home from work when he reached the accident site during a period of strong gusty winds. The large roadside branch could not withstand the wind force, snapped, and struck both his body and head with severe force, causing him to die instantly at the scene. Officials transported the body to the hospital and conducted legal investigation procedures before releasing it to the family for religious funeral rites.

The initiative to elevate Thai fabric and handicraft products represents a continuation of Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana's royal vision under the "Thai Fabrics, Wear with Joy" concept, which aims to establish traditional Thai textiles in the international contemporary fashion market while building value from local knowledge and strengthening the nation's grassroots economy.

On April 25, 2025, at 6:06 PM, Ms. Ariya (surname withheld), 38, and her son Turbo, 18, a third-year welding vocational student from a Chachoengsao college, came forward to report an incident that occurred on April 15. The victim explained that his ex-girlfriend, whom he had broken up with five months prior, had recently contacted him through chat. Although initially concerned about complications with her new boyfriend, he agreed to meet her for dinner at the location where the attack took place.

When he arrived, a group of teenage males confronted him. Her new boyfriend used a sharp metal scraper to stab him in the back, narrowly missing his lungs, while others punched him in the face, temporarily blinding him. Despite bleeding heavily and unable to see, the victim managed to ride his motorcycle to safety and seek help from friends who took him to the hospital.

His left eye suffered severe damage requiring lens replacement surgery, with uncertain prospects for full vision recovery. He also sustained a punctured lung wound that required blood drainage and is still under treatment. The mother expressed two main concerns: her son's eyesight and the slow police investigation. She believes the attack was motivated by jealousy from the ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend and called on Nong Prue police to gather evidence and arrest the perpetrators quickly. She also appealed directly to the attackers to turn themselves in, questioning why they would hurt her son so severely and reminding them that her son deserved a better future.
