Title should be “ dies “  not “killed “

Apparently the car is called Herbie,  because it does what it wants to 

In the UK as an MP he would be called to account in the chamber and possibly resign, does anyone think this will happen in Thailand 

Is parental consent applicable here

Never far from the news. Will have to make a nightly visit to WS she’s sure to show up there

Also Thailand typically does not have a 'blame culture', where a culprit must be found for any misadventure. There is a more fatalistic acceptance of things going wrong, less public clamour for accountability.

I was there in January and February this year and didn't really enjoy it as much as before, on my next trip I think I'll spend more time in the Big Mango or somewhere quiet where you can relax and meditate ... like a cave in Chiang Rai. 

Not too funny

The only good thing is the boat wasn’t over loaded , could have been a lot worse

Not a good advert for the 5000 baht a night Wave Hotel

OP definitely got the minerals

The guys a thug

I gleaned this from another article. Seemed to hit a spot with me !

Witness Anuchit Jaroensap said he was riding his bicycle around the parking lot when someone informed him a man had been crushed.

Witness .??????

Looks very flat there would not think it rolled over the concrete strips.  ,  must have been under power

 Not sure what a four lane road is in Thailand . If it is 4 lanes each way and the dogs are in the middle swerving left would have been the thing to do , no head on,  if it means 2 lanes each way same applies. You can only go left if the dogs are in the middle I think

were seatbelts being used as that is the law

The PM also confirmed that the country’s justice system will remain intact and respectable as there is no ill attempt to manipulate the process. 

open and transparent to all

Coming up Pattaya klang from beach road got stopped at second road had to blow into some pipe like object looking for drunk drivers  early am Monday no check for licence or passport   Just blow.  On motorbike

Remember where we are. Only tourists will get fined. It is like the fine for littering on Sukhumvit in Bangkok, only foreigners.

 

Of course the easy way is to not have a platform at the sides at the back just a simple one person wide step. The "wings" could be legislated to be cut off existing vehicles and not allowed on new ones.  Then at least maximum only one person hanging off the back?

Put a DESCO or similar over pressure/free flow dive helmet/air hat (water cannot get it and very difficult to pull off) on the boys, sedate them and have Navy Seals and other qualified professional take them out one at a time.

Yes I think mild sedation is the way to go will maybe stop panic attacks at least.

i don’t know anything about helmets but they should be used as well. Good luck to all anyway

I thought that it was pretty decent of the Thai officials to do this. Robert Harper doesn't do the voluntary work for money or recognition, he does it because he's a decent human being and I suspect he enjoys the technical challenge posed ... we all salute you Mr Harper!

 

Let's hope the kids all get out safely and soon.

Very well said

Good job this didn’t happen in the UK - their bikes would have been stolen!!!
