Video: Myanmar man with a death wish finally gets his wish on the Thai roads

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Shocking CCTV footage from Sukhumvit Road in Bang Poo, Samut Prakarn showed a man crossing the road apparently trying to get hit by traffic. 

 

Though the footage is sped up the man crosses several times in what looks like an attempt to get killed. 

 

On one occasion a tour bus has to come to an abrupt halt to avoid hitting him. 

 

Finally the man darts out between two trucks - he is hit and killed by a six wheel truck that couldn't brake in time. 

 

Locals spoke with one voice - they said the man was often seen crossing there and was based locally. In the first few examples of his crossing the road the traffic was moving slowly and was able to stop. 

 

But not in the final one. 

 

He was named as 43 year old Kim Mong Too from Myanmar.

Perfect scapegoat for the high incidence of road fatalities in Thailand - it's not Thai people who are responsible, it's those pesky foreigners..

Good reactions from the tour bus driver.

Yes I thought that too. Perhaps the only vehicle in Thailand whereby the brakes ARE working...

 

Well, if he did have a death wish he took his sweet time gittin' 'er dun!

You do realise this  video is dramatically speeded  up?

Poor bugger, wonder what drove him to do it
