Thai Woman’s Fight for Justice: Uncovering Medical Misdiagnosis and Tragedy in Isaan Provinces

In a deeply emotional and charged quest for justice, a 37-year-old Thai woman is taking a bold stand against hospitals in the Isaan provinces of Chaiyaphum and Nakhon Ratchasima. She’s driven by a haunting suspicion that a grievous medical misstep cost her both her health and the life of her unborn child. With the support of the non-profit organization Be One, she is calling for accountability and answers from the institutions and professionals she once turned to for care. Her journey down this fraught path began back in 2019 during what was intended to be a routine health check-up at a hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima. It was here that a seemingly innocuous discovery—a lump on her back—took a fateful turn. Following the procedure to analyze the mass, the medical team diagnosed it as cancerous and advised immediate intervention. However, she opted against proceeding with the treatment at the time, a…

Nguyen’s Visa Drama at Don Mueang Airport: The Tale of a 249-Day Overstay

At the bustling Don Mueang International Airport, a scene unfolded worthy of a Hollywood script, as a 24-year-old Vietnamese gentleman found himself at the heart of an immigration drama. The suave traveler, known as Nguyen, was all set to board his flight back to Hanoi with the anticipation of a smooth return journey—only to be stopped in his tracks by a surprisingly eventful turn of events orchestrated by the ever-vigilant Thai Immigration Bureau. This unexpected twist came courtesy of none other than Police Lieutenant General Phanumas Boonyaluck, whose hawk-eyed oversight saw Nguyen detained in the atmospheric international departures hall of Terminal 1. Here, suspense brewed as officers seized Nguyen’s Vietnamese passport, along with his sleek, presumably music-filled, black Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. Their investigation quickly uncovered that Nguyen’s seemingly innocuous tourist visit to the Land of Smiles had become embroiled in controversy over a forged visa stamp. Nguyen had…

Hat Yai Community Unites Against Devastating Fire: A Tale of Resilience and Heroism

In the bustling district of Hat Yai, nestled snugly along the railway lines of Songkhla, calamity struck. On the otherwise nondescript date of June 30th, the serene Pom 6 community went up in flames, sending plumes of smoke spiraling into the sky. While distressing, it was a story of resilience and remarkable coordination against challenging odds, painting a vivid picture of a community shaken yet not defeated. The day began much like any other, with the local hustle and bustle, until around midday, a menacing fire erupted. The source of the blaze is suspected to have been a pile of burning rubbish, echoing whispers of negligence that ignited catastrophe. Six formidable fire trucks, with their sirens wailing, forged a path towards the crisis, navigating Hat Yai’s famously narrow streets that seemed determined to deter them. Led by the steadfast hands of Deputy Mayor Jettasukon Petsakul, aged 54, the brigade was…

Half-Half Thai Travel Programme Launch: Chaotic Digital Meltdown Strands Vacationers

This morning, the long-anticipated launch of the government’s Half-Half Thai Travel programme plunged into digital chaos as hopeful vacationers were met with technical failures that left them stranded in front of screens rather than sandy beaches. As the clock struck 8 am on July 1st, the virtual gates to discounted holidays were supposed to swing wide open, thanks to the Amazing Thailand app, but instead, they firmly clamped shut with blunt error messages like, “An error occurred. Something went wrong.” Users were either greeted by screen-snapping technical gremlins or tossed unceremoniously out of the digital queue altogether. The perplexing meltdown wasn’t limited to just one app, though. The ThaID application, crucial for verifying the identities of eager travellers, also crumbled under the application onslaught. Thousands of would-be tourists found themselves stuck in a virtual labyrinth, unable to pass the necessary checks, much like forgotten travelers with expired passports. In the…

The Gunners are also signing Christian Norgaard from Brentford.

And Partey could now head abroad, with Juventus, AC Milan and Galatasaray all interested.

But he’s not the only big name in the Premier League without a club today.

Dog home boss mauled by rescued American bulldog SUES charity for £200k

A DOG home boss is suing for more than £200,000 after being savaged by a rescued American Bulldog in a violent attack at a rehoming centre.

Karla Haines, 34, says she was left traumatised and permanently scarred after the Bulldog , named Jester, suddenly latched onto her arm and wouldn’t let go during an incident at a Dogs Trust rehoming centre.

The horror unfolded at the charity’s Harefield site in west London, where Ms Haines was working as assistant operations manager.

She had been called in to help deal with the misbehaving rescue dog when the shocking attack happened on 3 July 2021.

Despite requesting that the dog be put on a lead, court papers say Jester – described as a “fierce and mischievous” American Bulldog cross – sank its teeth into her right arm, causing multiple puncture wounds and lasting nerve damage.

Ms Haines, who holds a degree in animal behaviour and welfare, says the injuries have left her with long-term sensitivity in her arm and PTSD-like symptoms, including anxiety and flashbacks.

She is now taking legal action against her former employer, claiming Dogs Trust failed to properly manage and restrain the aggressive animal, despite being aware of the risks.

Her lawyers argue the dog should have been kept in a secure area or tied to a fixed lead point to prevent attacks on staff.

The Harefield centre, which is set in 16 acres of countryside, houses up to 150 dogs at a time in swanky kennels fitted with underfloor heating, exercise paddocks and a sensory garden.

But behind the scenes, Ms Haines alleges that safety protocols were not followed — and that she was effectively exposed to danger in the line of duty.

Court documents state: “The dog is and was of a fierce and mischievous disposition and/or was likely, unless restrained, to bite anyone on the defendant’s premises or to cause severe injury when defending what it regarded as its own territory.”

Although Dogs Trust has admitted a breach of duty through its insurers, the charity disputes the full amount of damages being claimed and says the extent of Ms Haines’ injuries are “not admitted”.

The Trust also insists that Ms Haines was on Jester’s “safe list” — a group of approved staff members considered capable of handling the animal without issue.

In a legal response, their solicitor Chrissie Paphitis said: “It is averred that Jester had been placed on a lead prior to the claimant entering the compound.

“It is admitted that Jester nevertheless grabbed onto the claimant’s arm and bit her.”

But she added: “No admissions are made in respect of causation, and the claimant is put to strict proof in relation to any and all allegations of loss and damage.”

Which dog breeds are banned in the UK?

THERE are specific regulations in place that prohibit certain dog breeds from being owned or bred in the UK.

So what are the illegal dogs in the UK and why are they illegal? Here’s what we know.

Which dog breeds are illegal in the UK?

People tend to think of large, vicious dogs when they imagine being bitten by one.

But the truth is that many types of dogs are known to bite humans, whether provoked or not.

However, it’s important to remember that just because a breed tends to bite humans, that doesn’t mean that they all do.

British law determines five breeds of dog are illegal to own, breed, sell or give away.

These are an XL Bully, Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro.

Ms Haines’ legal team originally valued the claim at around £60,000, but this has since ballooned to more than £200,000 as the extent of her physical and psychological injuries became clearer.

A judge at a brief pre-trial hearing earlier this month confirmed the full trial will go ahead unless a settlement is reached before then.

It’s understood the case is being closely watched by other animal welfare professionals, who say it raises serious concerns about staff safety when working with rescue dogs that may have violent histories.

Dogs Trust, which was founded in 1891, is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and rehomes thousands of dogs each year. It has not commented publicly on the legal claim.

The court will now decide whether Ms Haines is entitled to the full amount she’s seeking — or whether the payout will be reduced.
