Sad news today. Thai Rath reporter Thongtuan Sukmuang, who was also president of the Phuket Reporters’ Club, died today when the minivan he was travelling in blew a tire and overturned in Narathiwat. Four other Thai Rath reporters were also killed in the accident.
Khun Thongtuan was a familiar face all over Phuket and he will be missed.
.. unrelated to this post, but Matt – oh, boy did you choose the wrong time to leave Phuket! I can imagine you live blogging at the airport right now!
