Police are investigating the cause of the accident and seeking to talk to the driver of the lorry.
Did the driver do a runner?
Just found this.
"After the accident, Viset did not escape but waited for the arrival of the police at the scene of the accident."

"The court initially sentenced Prachak to death for the triple murder, but commuted the sentence to life for his confession."
The guy should be staked out naked next an ant hill with honey poured all over his bodily orifices & also his genitals.

“They will face charges of drunk driving, if their blood alcohol level is above legal limits,” he said. “If they are drunk driving, insurance firms will not provide coverage for damage and casualties. They will have to take full responsibility.”
If they can find him after he runs away.

How about the idiot in the blue truck that pulled out in front of the drunk idiot?
It's ok he wasn't drunk.
After working on a jug of Jack Daniels at an old time friend's (that lived in Thailand 30+ years) we got on the subject of drinking & driving as he asked his sober wife to give me a ride home - he said "Sometimes, over here, it helps!"

Same shambles as the 90 days reporting online fiasco?
Or perhaps like Pattaya's free Wi-Fi spots on the beach?
Article from November 30th about this link - http://pattaya.go.th/pattaya-city-wifi-free - that still doesn't work. I just checked it.

Yes i am serious.
Everything that avoids hours of waiting in a queue, I would find good.
Nothing does speak against setting up machines with waiting numbers.
The arrival hall (before immigration) could indeed be made more customer-friendly.And...you expect Chinese, Indians and Pakistani's to actual play by that rule book?
Nothing wrong with your idea in theory, it just wouldn't work in reality.

This is like blaming a tree trimmer for trees blowing down in a storm near their house.
Idiots.

The school director should look on the bright side.
At least it wasn't an ugly naked kindergarten teacher.

An arrest warrant was now out??
Warrant with no name?
No need for a name.
They're looking for a Pattaya motorcycle cop that wears a helmet. Should be easy to spot.

That this is even a news item is pathetic.
Anywhere else the opposite would be news.
Here IT IS a quite piece of news. Btw do we want to talk of corruptions in other parts of the world like South America or Africa?
Fair enough about other "developing" countries, but that doesn't make it any less pathetic.

Sadly, many Thais will heed his warnings, but not that of Health officials...
Why not? They are the same-same but different.

But then it wouldn't be a tuk tuk.
I hate tuk-tuk's. Noisy, annoying bastards, and then there's that strange looking machine too!
Thanks for the laugh.

Wilbur & Orville's first plane wasn't pretty either.

"for Thailand at least," is what I said and if you have been to a gun shop or bought a gun in Thailand you would possibly have better understood my reference. This ain't the US mate. It's apples and oranges...Google it. A glock 19 will run you @500 in the US seen the same model here up to @75000 baht what's that? @2200? Big difference
Just because something is stupidly expensive in Thailand doesn't mean that they "should be" more expensive or that it is somehow engraved in the cosmic firmament (though I'll admit that getting it to change has no chance).
Does it make sense that a bottle of mediocre wine costs the same in Thailand if not more than a bottle of premium wine in the US? No it doesn't.
Somebody else mentioned import taxes. So the gov't pays import taxes to itself???
--------------------
I know it is what it is, as I used to involved with a Thai company that imports parts for the Thai military, and they had to mark up the prices by 200% - 300% just to be able to afford the back handers to get the contract(s).
It is what it is, but that doesn't make it right.

I know what you mean. A phone was something attached to the kitchen wall or on a desk. There was no Internet. Kids went outside to play. I spent a lot of time in the woods with friends, fishing, building forts, playing games, and as a teenager I had paper routes, washed cars, painted houses, worked at a grocery store. I was always busy. At night I'd read - books - made of paper.
I got addicted to reading books young also.
I've loved them every since.
I recall my Dad getting angry with the phone company and he ripped the phone off the wall and tossed it in the back yard.
I think it was about a year before we ever had a phone again.

back in the day, when you where out of the house, no one could each you. miss a party and you had to wait to Monday to find out what went down, have an "enemy" and when you got home from school the hassle was over. Nowadays everything is in your face 24/7.. the cell phone and social media have changed what is important. Just go to a tourist attraction, everyone is facing away from the site taking a selfie. Young people are lost without social validation constantly.
I recall when my company sent me my first Blackberry. I thought it was slicker than snot, till the company 8,000 miles away started trying to micro-manage everything I did.
I have shunned smartphones every since. I despise and detest the damned things...but that's just me.

Ditto and agreed...but you missed his point. This is 2017, kids getting screwed up from anti-social media.
Yeah it sucks.
Wish I had a solution, but I don't, other than parents being friends (which sometimes means tough love) to their kids and leading by example.
