A man drowned behind the wheel of his pickup truck after it plunged into an irrigation canal in Phetchaburi’s Khao Yoi district late Sunday night.

Police and rescue workers of a local foundation arrived at the road along the canal in Ban Saprang village, tambon Saprang, and found the pickup under water.

 

When the vehicle was pulled from the water, the body of Pongsa Sawaengsuk, 36, was found behind the wheel.

A liquor bottle was found beside him.

Oh so quick to judge, maybe we wait for blood alcohol tests before making assumptions. Did you know him personally? If not, how can you know he was an idiot? 

 

Easy tiger, a man just lost his life and the first thing you can say is this. You must be having a bad day, or you have just been in Thailand too long.

 

Or maybe I'm just making an assumption?

prob·a·bly

ˈpräbəblē,ˈpräblē/

adverb

 

1. almost certainly; as far as one knows or can tell.

    

   Still an assumption until proven otherwise, the bottle could have been rolling around in his car for days mate.  

    

   I'm not saying anyone is wrong, just stating a fact, the man has lost his life and could have "probably" been a good lad.

    

   Who knows what he had going on in his life mate? Whether he had kids and a wife which are "probably" missing him.

    

   My point was simply not to presume the worst of everything you see, read or hear until you are presented with facts.
