Mostly good news.

The drunken racer didn't harm another person.

Car ruined.

May he survive and have learned a lesson.

 

I wouldn't bet on that.

Have to ask but as this is Thailand might get conflicting answers 

If it turns out he is DUI and crashes does the insurance still pay out or is it Null and Void and he has to buy new car himself?

He said, "do you know who my father is?"

He drove a Camry. He's nobody. A Ferrari, he'd get an escort to hospital.

Interview again!  a bit too late don't you think? 

He should have be interview right on the spot with a officer tagging along with him to the hospital for treatment. While getting treatment his blood should have been taken to check the level of alcohol. Once the level come back position as soon as possible he should be arrested and booked on drunk driving and property damage and a court date set.

No they wont pay out if he is charged with DUI

Insurance companies will look for any reason they can find to not payout
