Like a Thai movie: (Nearly) Three funerals and a Hanging Wire

Thailand's infamous hanging wires have struck again. 

 

And now two motorcyclists and a pick-up driver want to know who is going to take responsibility for a series of accidents in Samut Prakan on Tuesday.

 

 

Local repairman Wanpipop Yaisarn, 23, had just been to the funeral of a friend and was going to see his girlfriend on Sai Luat Road in the Pak Nam area. 

 

He had just turned into her road when he was yanked from his bike by a cable he had not seen that got caught round his neck.

 

He watched as his riderless bike careered down the road for almost 100 meters and smashed into a parked pick-up.

 

With the adrenaline coursing through his body and not appreciating his neck and road rash injuries he went to talk to the pick-up driver.

 

As they looked at the damage they saw behind them that another motorcycle with side car attachment had now got entangled in the wires. 

 

After hospital visits the three road users went to the local police who cut down the offending wire. 

 

They demanded that the police locate the company responsible for the wire and compensate them for the accident, reported Daily News.

They should be put in jail and pay compensation.

Coming to a street near you, soon.

Shocking.

Lots of dangers around. Wires. Paths. Roads. Dogs. Keep aware and look in all directions. I've been lucky. Nudged by a few bikes. 

Just arrived back in oz and really am enjoying the environment. I remember 20 years back in Pattaya. Was much tidier and safer. Things going backwards slowly it seems. So sad that governing bodies can't make Pattaya the dream place it deserves to be because the happy smiling Thais deserve it.

This country needs a complete male over

 

Or better still a complete make over, with females in charge.

Too many disinterested males would be more like it

 

More or less the same thing happened just across the road a few weeks back. The rider eventually stood up and was assisted to the ambulance

But they left him on the floor for quite a long time, as he was obviously in shock. Locals were very helpful, but the cable still hasn't been properly fixed, just tied back out of harm's way

Officials have been to inspect it. I've lost count of the times I've seen construction vehicles drag down cables that are never really ever properly fixed

And fiber optic cable contractors are almost always lazy lackadaisical *ers.

And fiber optic cable contractors are almost always lazy lackadaisical *ers. But mustn't grumble, as almost any interaction with a slightly critical edge to it is judged as an opportunity to shoot the messenger. So much for cultural correctness!
