webfact Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Schoolgirl drowns after motorbike caught in Chachoengsao flash flood By The Nation Picture: Mcot A schoolgirl drowned after her motorcycle was swept off a road in Chachoensao's Phanom Sarakham by a flash flood on Monday evening. Rescuers found the body at 5.12pm, less than an hour after witnesses saw her engulfed by the current at 4:27pm. The girl was identified as Arisa Pinkul, aged 13, who lived in Moo 1 village in Tambon Tha Than. Eyewitness Rabiab Boonmak, 72, said he had waved at the girl to stop because the flood was flowing fast across the road. But she had continued on before being overpowered by the floodwaters. Rabiab said he saw the girl surface three times before she disappeared.

That is just normal - yes - and if they drive with "Public School Transport" some Private contracter of the village - they are often sitting on the roof of the PickUps and Buses because no other place. So just normal - yes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 So young, so sad. Too young to appreciate the strength and danger of running water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Such a sad loss, but alas aged 13 here in Thailand many don't have the common sense or knowledge to judge dangers as adults do.. she paid with her life for taking the chance of going into a flash flood!
