Whoops dropped it!! or something similar in Thai came from the lips of a crane operator unloading cargo from a vessel at Laem Chabang Port.
Oh Sugar!! was the cry when the gas cylinder split open and ruptures spilling gas.
Oh my God!! along with further expletives came from the port officials when they realized that only did the cylinder contain Butyl Acrylate which is poisonous it was also highly inflammable.
The alarm was sounded and port authorities and emergency services responded. Whilst the officials considered their options to deal with the leakage of dangerous chemicals representatives from factories In The Laem Chabang Industrial Estate nearby came to the scene to assess whether to evacuate their workers. The Marine Department finally made a decision and had the ship towed out to see while the gas dissipated.
A good day eventually for Laem Chabang Port and The Marine Department but not so good for local citizens and school children from a local school. Some passed out, others suffered severe irritation from the corrosive gas and staff at Laem Chabang Hospital were kept busy with 60 people neading medical attention.

Fatal Crash in Leam Chabang Chonburi Caused by Drunken Driver Kills Three
Leam Chabang Police and rescue workers rushed to the scene of a serious road accident involving two pick-up trucks resulting in multiple casualties. At the scene they found a Toyota Vigo pick-up and a Mitsubishi Triton Pickup truck.
The driver of the Toyota Khun Sanan aged 61 had managed to get out of his cab but was now deceased. His passenger Khun Permsak was still in the vehicle and seriously injured. He had to be extracted from the wrecked pick-up truck and was suffering from serious blood loss. He was immediately transported to Leam Chabang Hospital but succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the crash and died in hospital a short time later. Another person, a lady aged 36 who was in the vehicle was also declared dead at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident Khun Chawarin aged 24 was initially a little luckier. He had only suffered a broken left arm in the crash. He was not so lucky when the police thought that they could smell alcohol on his breath and a subsequent breath test proved positive.
From the accident scene and witness statements it seems that the drunken driver had drifted across the road in front of the oncoming vehicle causing the accident and subsequently causing the death of it's driver and passengers.

One Dead One Hurt in Leam Chabang Hit and Run Crash
Leam Chabang Police and rescue workers were called to attend a serious road accident involving a truck and a motorcycle. At the scene in front of The Srimongkol Market in Leam Chabang they found a wrecked motorcycle and the bodies of two men who had been tossed from the motorcycle and were laying in the road.

The body of Khun Wanthong was also taken to hospital for a full post mortem to be carried out before he can be handed over to relatives for funeral rites to be carried out.
As for the vehicle that rammed into the back of the motorcycle - an articulated lorry. Well the driver did stop after the accident before doing the normal cowardly thing he did a runner. Police will be investigating the owners of the truck and will hopefully track down the cowardly driver.

Cruise Liner Docks at Laem Chabang Port
Laem Chabang Port is located about 20 Km north of Pattaya and is well known as a major deep sea container port which is fast becoming the main port for Thailand as it expands to take over a lot of the traffic that was once serviced by Klong Toey Port in Bangkok.
This week the director of Laem Chabang Port and senior harbour management were on hand to welcome the captain of the cruise ship "The Mariner of the Sea" which is the first of a series of super size cruise ships that are scheduled to make Laem Chabang one of their regular stops.
"The Mariner of the Sea" is 312 meters long and has 2,000 cabins and carries around 3,800 passengers. With a contingent equivalent to 100 jumbo jets heading out for trips to Pattaya and Bangkok this is a well needed boost to the Thai tourist industry which is suffering badly from a significant drop in tourist arrivals post high season and of course affected by the current political turmoils in Bangkok.
The Director of the port said that Laem Chabang is one of only 6 ports that have the capability to handle these massive maritime floating hotels and with the completion of the new Jetty in phase 3 of the port even larger ships will be able to dock and enjoy the extensive port facilities and the easy and quick transport connections to local tourist destinations.
This contingent of tourists on a cruise which takes in Vietnam, Singapore Malaysia and Thailand are mainly Asian tourists from China, Malaysia and Singapore.
We wait in eager anticipation for the Vladivostok Voyager and Comrade Cruise Lines.

Thief Robs Laem Chabang Buddhist Temple
A former ordained monk is being sought after an early morning theft in a temple in Laem Chabang.
After going out of the temple to do their early morning walk to collect alms in the local districts. the thief took the opportunity to enter rooms at the virtually un-occupied temple and stole cash, vestments and sacred Buddhist amulets with a value of over 20,000 Baht.
One of the monks had heard someone earlier that morning before the alms walk around 4 am and gave the police a detailed description and name of the temple thief who was once an ordained monk at the same temple.
Whoever this thief is and whether he is caught or not he has certainly attained several lifetimes of bad luck for stealing from a Buddhist temple.
