Article in the BP today says there was DNA taken from the car, and results will be available in 30 days or so.
Which is interesting contrast from some other infamous DNA results that were ready pretty much by the end of the day.
Bet the DNA turns out...however they want it to turn out, in 30 days...Maybe. They have a month to get their shit together.

Judging by the fine detail regarding the engine numbers/registration particulars, I decree this investigation 98.5% complete.
I've almost forgotten what the investigation was about.
They are doing a great job with that at least. Now it's all about retarded cops.
The idiocy surrounding it becomes the focus of...what was it we were taking about?

These silly stories being put out from official sources and dutifully retailed by the tame Thai media really are getting beyond a joke.
Well said.
It's beyond ludicrous. I am apolitical. This farce is like the "The Emperor with No Clothes" though.
Makes General P. look like Mussolini to me.

Did not expect such an easy escape though. Walking through casinos in Cambodia. Don't the Thaksin hating elite own them ? Don't most casinos have functioning surveillance ? If your piece of the puzzle is, in fact, the whole puzzle, your junta's ineptitude has now entered uncharted waters. On the other hand, if they looked the other way, it is the first smart thing they have done in over three years.
They looked the other way for sure.
Also, I doubt any casino cameras would be functioning, unless it served a pre-planned purpose.

It is either sheer ineptitude or good sense on the junta's part.
Say it again. Both are true.
Prayuth probably put her in a burka/abiya & scooted her out the VIP lounge at Swampy.

There's ludicrous, and then.. there's THAI LUDICROUS.
Got a former PM, sister of an ousted PM & she's on trial for bazillions of baht/crimes against Thai humanity..Pretty much a female Hitler (according to the charges), and just goes "POOF!"
"I ain't seen her lately Somchai, have you? Well, I was chowing down on my 3 lb bowl of lunch time rice & may have taken my eyes off her for 15 minutes, and she went 'Poof', she was gone.
I am apolitical. but come ON, if the General did not sanction this????
Jerry Springer comes to mind, and the public eats it up as the truth.
The woman most likely got a charter flight out of DMK, with 75 soldiers to escort her.

Huh? Wake up boys! We got's to go lay the groundwork for a PROBE!

That bunch would have me shaking in my boots for sure!

I'd imagine shaking in her high heels with her brother in Dubai.
Hope they like stinky folks that never bathe. Dubai is literally the armpit of the world.

we need Colombo and Sherlock to sort this mess out !!
Yingluck is kinda hot. About the same age as my wife.
Pretty sure I found her on Youtube trying to ply her wares as best she can.
Colombo is checking it out...

We were not there, we will never know, but it doesn't take long for the drums to heat up even with minimal usage. I cannot believe for one minute that 'some' trucks over here get maintained as they should, a simple brake adj probably never happens till its too late.
The original post I replied to was the poster stating that it could not happen as they were air brakes, but you and I know that is not the case.
Agreed. I've worked on many an air brake.
I started from the ground up & what you say is correct.
Damned air brakes are DANGEROUS to work on. Those springs that keep the brakes locked are deadly if one has no idea what they are dealing with.
---------------
As usual though, we'll probably never hear anything else about this from our trusted news source(s)...Might actually shame & name a company that keeps its drivers yak'ed up up on yaba.

You are wrong! When leaving the depot the shoes will be cool, after some usage (depending on the severity of usage, going down hills etc) the drums will get so hot the shoes cannot possibly touch the drums as the S cams will have reached their limit.
What makes you so knowledgeable? I have served my time as a hgv/plant mechanic and ran my own haulage company for 20 years, your creds?
Google brake fade.
Take it easy. The OP makes some valid points for consideration.
The driver was high/drunk & it could never be his fault. That's all that matters to the press.
I was in the heavy duty truck business for 30+ years myself.
Brake fade I agree, could have/probably may have contributed.
In my 40+ years I have yet to encounter a 2 km "accident" that could be blamed on anything other than a stone cold drunk driver.
Here is an accident.

Nice restaurant in Surin once. No hand soap in the Men's room...But "We have over here"...Why not put some in the Men's room...But we have over her. No need over there.
BEAUTIFUL soap dispenser, bone dry/never been filled in the Men's room.
I asked WHY again. But...we have over here. Mamasan's dishwashing liquid & a tub of water...The sinks had running water?
-------------------
Why ask why I guess? My wife told me to just shut up, so I did.

Do a Google search for Corrupt Thai Cop & click the Images tab...
Pretty hilarious & pretty much all of them.

Is there any thing in this country too sacred or out of bounds NOT to steal from?....
Nope. Rape & pillage is the word of the day when one enters "civil service" in Thailand.
If such were not true, we would not hear about it for decades on end.
You! You! You no unnastand!!!

Corruption and Misconduct Suppression Division
I wonder how many committees it took to set up this CMSD task force?
Probably been in the works since 1985 or so I would guess?

1) Drums do not get hot if brake shoes are not in contact with them.
2) If shoes were not contacting drums at all, I doubt the guy would have left the station as he would have had no brakes.
3) This accident likely has nothing to do with the condition of the brakes.
Metal against metal (no brake pads left) will not stop anything. They will, however heat the drums to cherry red temperatures, further exacerbating the problem as the metal against metal turns into a grinder & metal is shaved away as well as heated and expanded.
I think that was the OP's point?
PROBABLY, (my guess) is that the driver was on some kind of speed/drugs/drunk & hadn't slept for a very long time, hence the runner and the 2 km long "accident".

Somehow this seems to be an appropriate reply to pretty much a lot of "news" in Thailand.

They seem a bit small to mount a 50" gun. The Yamato only had 18.1" guns (formerly the largest deployed by a battleship) :)

The first in 26 y's ?.......It must not be easy to drive in there?
They were students in South Florida, which is flat as a pancake.
I'm from Central Florida, and just driving around anything with hills makes me as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Sorry to hear about those ladies poor fate, but flat-landers do not cope well in mountainous terrain. At least I don't.

Oh, a 6 kilometer marathon.
It was probably supposed to be 6 KM, but was actually 12 KM, due to a "misunderstanding".

Yes.

If the cops weren't sitting around with their thumbs up where the sun don't shine, well, they would not need to be "updated".

And the "Honest Pattaya Police" gave it all back to the bank? I wonder how much "flew away in the wind" that day?

'The sub-district is waiting on the drainage covers, which is why they were left open for the car to fall into.'
Perfectly logical and acceptable to a Thai. The rest of us? Nah. The locals think we're too fussy about things like that.
You tink too mutt!

A great description for most politicians the world over.
This one takes the cake though.
