Twin Boys, 7, Drown Together in Buriram Pond
Seven-year-old twin boys drowned in a rice paddy pond in Buriram Province on July 25, devastating their family who had repeatedly warned them against playing near water.
A tragic incident has claimed the lives of seven-year-old twin boys who drowned in a rice paddy pond. The incident occurred on the evening of July 25 in Muban 7, Ron Thong Subdistrict, Satuk District, Buriram Province, shocking both the family and the local community. The twin boys were beloved by all, particularly by their grandmother, 60-year-old Nang Uea, who raised them from childhood and has been weeping constantly since the tragedy.
Today, the family held a merit-making ceremony for the two boys. Their mother, Jitkannya, 29, who was working in Chachoengsao Province, returned home in a state of profound grief. Upon hearing the news, she rushed back immediately, hoping throughout the journey that the reports might not be true. When she arrived home, she found both her sons already laid in their coffins.
"I am heartbroken," the mother said. "I had spoken with my boys just hours before. I constantly reminded their grandmother to watch them carefully around water and fire, and she did. The boys always told me their grandmother had forbidden them from playing in water or with fire. I never imagined something like this would happen. I am devastated that my sons have passed away before their time."
