The Bo Diddley beat is a syncopated musical rhythm, used in rock and roll and pop music. The beat is named after rhythm and blues musician Bo Diddley, who introduced and popularized the beat with his self-titled debut single, "Bo Diddley", in 1955; the Bo Diddley beat is a 3-2 clave rhythm, one of the most common bell patterns found in Afro-Cuban music, traced to sub-Saharan African music traditions. It is akin to the rhythmic pattern known as "shave and a haircut, two bits", linked to Yoruba drumming from West Africa. A folk tradition called "hambone", a style used by street performers who play out the beat by slapping and patting their arms, legs and cheeks while chanting rhymes has been suggested. According to musician and author Ned Sublette, "In the context of the time, those maracas,'Bo Diddley' has to be understood as a Latin-tinged record. A rejected cut recorded at the same session was titled only'Rhumba' on the track sheets." Bo Diddley employed maracas, a percussion instrument used in Caribbean and Latin music, as a basic component of the sound.

When asked how he began to use this rhythm, Bo Diddley gave many different accounts. In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he said that he came up with the beat after listening to gospel music in church when he was twelve years old. In its simplest form, the Bo Diddley beat can be counted out as either a one-bar or a two-bar phrase; the following consists of the count in a one-bar phrase: One e and ah, two e and ah, three e and ah, four e and ah. The bolded counts are the clave rhythm; the rhythm occurs in 13 rhythm and blues songs recorded between 1944 and 1955, including two by Johnny Otis from 1948. In 1952, a song with similar syncopation, "Hambone" was recorded by Red Saunders' Orchestra with the Hambone Kids. In 1944, "Rum and Coca Cola", containing the beat, was recorded by the Andrews Sisters. Songs employing the Bo Diddley beat include: "I Wish You Would" by Billy Boy Arnold "Not Fade Away" by Buddy Holly "Willie and the Hand Jive" by Johnny Otis "Hey Little Girl" by Dee Clark " His Latest Flame" by Elvis Presley "Mystic Eyes" by Them "I Want Candy" by the Strangeloves "Please Go Home" by the Rolling Stones "Get Me to the World on Time" by the Electric Prunes "She Has Funny Cars" by Jefferson Airplane "Magic Bus" by the Who "1969" by the Stooges "Panic in Detroit" by David Bowie "Shame, Shame" by Shirley & Company "New York Groove" by Hello "She's the One" by Bruce Springsteen "American Girl" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Hateful" by the Clash "Cuban Slide" by the Pretenders "Europa and the Pirate Twins" by Thomas Dolby "How Soon Is Now?" by the Smiths "Mr. Brownstone" by Guns N' Roses "Faith" by George Michael "Desire" by U2 "Movin' On Up" by Primal Scream "Tribal Thunder" by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones "No One to Run With" by the Allman Brothers Band "Cannon Ball" by Duane Eddy "That Big 5-0" by Stan Ridgway "At the Bottom of the Ocean" by Ezra Furman

On 22 March 2013, a fire at the Ban Mae Surin refugee camp in Mae Hong Son Province, killed 37 Karen refugees from neighbouring Myanmar, as well as destroying hundreds of dwellings. Thought to have started following a "cooking accident", the fire began at around 16:00 local time, extinguished around two hours later; the fire had been spread by hot weather combined with strong winds. The current death toll for the fire is 37, comprising 16 women. Of these, 35 were killed directly; the majority of victims were burned to death. The death toll had been reported to be as high as 62, though this was revised. Various sources have reported "at least 100" and "over 200" other injured people; the fire destroyed hundreds of makeshift bamboo huts at the camp, as well as the camp's medical clinic and two food warehouses. At least 2,300 people were left without shelter following the fire, were subsequently accommodated in tents. Food and clothing is being provided by the International Rescue Committee, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Jesuit Refugee Service, the International Organisation for Migration, as well as other aid groups.

Eyewitnesses claim they saw a helicopter or airplane pass several times overhead before dropping'sparks' onto the roofs of one of the sources of the fires. The investigation found traces of phosphorus at the source of the fire, leading a police chief to claim it was not an accident; the fire started in Zone 1 and Zone 4, on opposite ends of the camps, leading some to suspect foul play Additionally, a section leader in the camp reported that two living tents far from camp were burned, leading the community to further suspect foul play
