I would recommend getting a Toyota Yaris 1.2 or similar from Avis car rental at Don Muaeng Airport. Rental cost is about 1000 bahts per day.

Required Documents

• Valid ID card or passport of renter and all drivers
• Valid driving license of renter and additional drivers (if any). International driving license may be required with the original local license.
• Valid credit card of the renter. Name of credit card holder must be the same of the driver. Please check there is enough credit limit.

looks like a nasty bump right enough lucky he had his seat belt on

I was thinking exactly the opposite - by not wearing a seat belt, he slid under the steering wheel so his head was low down. If he'd been strapped to the seat, he would've been decapitated.

All guesswork, of course.

(TV accident investigations analyst at work here. )

Or it could be the famous GOA body that all Toyota Vios has. GOA body on Vios has a crumple zone and high integrity cabin. It protects the occupants by helping minimize deformation to the passenger compartment.

Did he actually sit on the balcony railing?

Police found the photo of him sitting on the balcony railing taken by the Masseuse just before he slipped and fall to his death.

I was able to rent a Toyota Vios for a couple of days from National Car Rental Counter at Don Muaeng Airport Arrival Hall without any credit card by depositing 30000 bahts as guarantee.

so how do they kill the insects? An individual knock on the head for each one, or a labor saving and delicious cloud of DDT?

Cricket farms deliver cupboard box full of living insects to vendors. Vendors just scoop them up from the cupboard box and fry them alive in hot oil.

So they have built flood defences to keep DM operational. Since the area surrounding the airport is generally at a lower level than the airport itself, and therefore in the event that the flood barrier is required to keep the water out, has anyone given any thought as to HOW the passengers are going to get to and from the airport, since the roads surrounding it will be impassable?

Thought implies having a functional brain which unfortunately is a rare asset here.. I am sure they can spare some boats when they are not busy pushing down water..

DM Airport is located right next to the elevated toll way. Passengers can take the elevated toll way to reach the airport without touching the flooded roads.
