Two people died in a fake alcohol poisoning accident in Bangkok, Thailand

On August 26 local time, a serious fake alcohol poisoning accident broke out in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, attracting widespread attention.

It is reported that as of now, the accident has caused 25 people to be poisoned, among which two people have unfortunately died, 13 people are in a coma, and many poisoned people are at risk of blindness. Since August 22, many hospitals in Thailand have successively received patients with fake alcohol poisoning. These patients are mainly from areas such as Minburi and Nong Chok. After drinking privately brewed alcohol with excessive methanol content, they all showed symptoms such as vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea.

The Thai police attach great importance to this incident and quickly launched an investigation into the dens for making and selling fake alcohol in areas such as Minburi and Nong Chok. At present, the police have made certain progress in relevant operations, but the specific investigation results still need to be further announced. At the same time, the police also remind residents in these areas that if they experience the above-mentioned discomfort symptoms after drinking alcohol, they must go to the hospital for treatment in time.

The Thai Ministry of Public Health revealed that among the 25 poisoned victims, one person died, one person was in a coma and in critical condition, seven people were blind, and many others were receiving hemodialysis treatment due to acute renal failure. In the future, they may face the dilemma of lifelong dialysis.

This fake alcohol poisoning accident has posed a serious threat to the lives and health of people in the Bangkok area and has also aroused the high vigilance of the Thai government. Relevant government departments said that they will go all out to increase the crackdown on illegal production and sales of fake alcohol, further strengthen strict supervision and inspection of the alcohol market to ensure the drinking safety of consumers and avoid similar tragedies from happening again. The international community also pays attention to this fake alcohol incident in Thailand and expects Thailand to take practical and effective measures to solve the fake alcohol problem as soon as possible and create a safe and reliable consumption environment for the people.
