    According to witnesses, the family was riding a motorcycle when a speeding trailer truck sideswiped their vehicle, causing them to lose control and crash into a light pole in the center median.

     I'll bet the trailer driver feels rally proud of himself

    Picture from responders.

     

    August 24, at approximately 13:15, local authorities were alerted by residents about a vehicle that had driven off the road and into a canal near Wat Doi Kaew, Moo 15, Ngiew Ngam Subdistrict, Uttaradit Province. 

     

    Upon investigation, a blue Toyota Mighty X pickup truck, license plate Uttaradit, was found completely submerged in the canal. Rescuers were unable to gain access into the vehicle and used ropes to drag and tow the vehicle from the water, where they discovered the 3 victims inside.

     

    The victims have been identified as:

    1. Mr. Boonjet, resident of Nam Rit Subdistrict, the owner and driver of the vehicle.

    2. Mr. Manat, resident of Nam Rit Subdistrict.

    3. Mr. Wirat, resident of Nam Rit Subdistrict.

     

    Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.

    They eat.. at specific places only with reduced pricing. They stay at hotels that gives free buffet to them for breakfast so they do not need to spend money on local shops. They take them to specific shops when going anywhere so local shops suffer this also. They walk around in groups that never allow time to go venture off and spend money on local shops as well. just take picture and keep walking. The tour groups get extra money to bring them to each place. Basically, you do exactly what your tour guide tells you. You do not walk around shopping or trying the local cuisine nor do you visit small shops run locally. I have met and talked to a few of these chinese before using tour groups. They say the y spend more time in duty-free shops and suit shops and gold shops than having fun. They are harassed while inside those shops to make a purchase by both the establishment and the tour guide. I was able to chat with them because they snuck out to go to a club late at night. They are controlled so much that they had to sneak out of their hotel. 

     

    So what's in it for Thailand?
