In Chonburi, a man climbs onto his truck to lift electric cables, is electrocuted and catches fire. Thitiphat Aroochlertphaisarn, 64, is driving his Heno truck loaded with sugarcane from a nearby field, which is destined to a factory in Rayong. The sugarcane is piled so high, the truck is blocked by high-voltage electric lines. Thitiphat climbs onto the truck to lift the cables, but witnesses see him slip and fall onto the cables. He is electrocuted and the sugar cane catches fire, scorching him and part of the truck before rescue arrives. They must wait for the electricity to be switched off to remove his charred remains from the vehicle, the Pattaya Daily News reported. 

In Bangkok, a man is caught stealing underwear from disabled athletes. Akarachai, 40, is an archer who competes in the Paralympics. He starts noticing his underwear disappearing when he leaves them out to dry. After returning from a competition in Myanmar, all his underpants go missing. Akarachai finally spots the thief on Tuesday, and screams out to friends and neighbours to help capture him--but the thief manages to escape. The day after, Akarchai and his friends come up with a scheme to capture the thief. They leave out many more underwear to dry, and the thief does indeed return to snatch them. This time, the athletes catch him and call the police, who find over 100 pairs of underwear in the man's car, Khao Sod reported.
