Thin skinned or what .

I'm sure the pistol isn't cheap and wonder if she owned it legally.

Unless they have a driving ban or outstanding warrants then what's the point ? Can't stop someone getting a driving license because they have a criminal record unless it's for driving offences.

Wonder if he will get deported ?

They do this and usually turn up the next day . Because as far as I remember they get a fine if not delivered on time of 2-3000bht per item I think the guy told my wife before, so they mark things as delivered to not get fined when they can't deliver on the date it is meant for .

" He stated that he had slowed down upon observing a trailer moving ahead but subsequently lost control, causing the crash "

So lost control going too fast as don't usually lose control when braking at an average speed.

Or is it brake failure again 🙄

He's lucky it hit her in the cheek , otherwise probably looking at charges for her death if it hit in a slightly different area of her head .

The lady 'asked staff to contact rescue services'. That surely indicates that, come the moment, she didn't want to die.

Or wanted them to find her quickly after she had killed herself. Some people will try to commit suicide in a way their body looks ok , giving them the thought they will look good in death which makes them content. Nobody wants to be found days after in a warm room full off flies , this would be more true in womens thinking.

Probably went for a toilet break and stumbled into the drain hitting his head on way down and then possibly drowned if knock didn't kill him.

Charging for fuel bought ages ago at a lower rate and if fuel prices suddenly drop again in next week or two you can bet they will take their time reducing flight prices while giving out some excuse.

How did the story end ?

Fell asleep half way through reading it 🙄

Koh phangan seems to have got even worse from the types of people going there and flooded with drugs of a hard nature instead of weed.

Doesn't make sense he would take a 400g block out for a walk while carrying a container of wraps to sell .

Was he taking the 400g to a buyer and was he grassed up by the Nigerian competition or one of them that is working with the cops after being busted .

Clear as mud . So is it say 2 pieces that weigh max 32kg each or 32kg in total ?

Also I looked this up and on certain international flights the weight and baggage allowance changes from say LHR - BKK.

So who was the girlfriend showing the cash off too when he was away working seemingly as a chef ? 🤔

Where can you guy a 'mint' Cartier Santos (with date) for 150,000 - asking for a friend ?

The REF.: WSSA0018 (which is the one in the photo) is 375,000 baht new in Thailand (if you can get one).

A 'very good' used model (i.e. with signs of wear) can be purchased on sites light WatchFinder & Chrono24 for about 250,000 baht (£6000) - but they are not - mint.

& Before we debate what 'mint' means exactly: It means 'no signs of wear'... perfect, pristine condition, appearing exactly as it did when it left the factory or was manufactured.

You can get a WSSA0018 in Hong Kong (2022 model) for 250,000 baht - thats 'mint' - but you'd also have to pay for flights to get it, or trust the post.

All of that said - the 'watch' itself is only part of the story - it could have been a phone etc.

Its the value of the item that someone was either...

a) Careless with, or

b) deliberately careless with.

Was the item real ??? - was it insured ???

Fundamental and interesting parts of the story are absent - as for many of us, the interesting part of this story is not that this is a nice watch with a history that goes back to 1906... but that someone 'might' have been pulling a fast one...

either...

a) Pulling an insurance scam trying to pass of a fake as a real one and attempting to defraud insurance.

b) Pulling an insurance scam pretending they've lost a real one and attempting to defraud insurance.

c) Someone is incredibly careless with their property.

Most readers are probably most interested in one of those 3 possibilities.

Hi-watch shop , watchever store , Nut naliga, Abac just as a few that sell used or new watches.

Surely that number is way off from just looking around everywhere.
