The British father of one of Thailand's most beautiful and well known celebrities was involved in an accident in Pattaya yesterday. 

 

Seventy four year old Graham Edeard was at the wheel of his Pajero Sport and was trying to do a U-turn to return home to Huay Yai, said his wife. 

 

There was a collision with a six wheel delivery truck driven by Charnchai Khunpong, 35. 

 

The wheel of the Pajero was almost detached. 

 

Mr Edeard suffered a minor shoulder injury. Charnchai was crushed against his steering wheel but apparently not seriously injured. Mr Edeard's wife was uninjured. 

 

 

Police are study CCTV to find out what happened and inform their investigation into the accident. 

 

The accident happened on Sukhumvit Road heading towards Sattahip opposite the Ambassador hotel. 

 

Mr Edeard is the father of actress, model and presenter Sara Legge.

 

She can be seen on the following video on YouTube where she rates #10 on "Ten Most Beautiful Actress Half Blood":

Because this wouldn't even be in the news if not for her celeb status.

Every father has a most beautiful daughter, does that mean every father can make the news

Time to put in roundabouts at major junctions and barrier off the U-Turns make it illegal to do a U-Turn on a dual carriageway.

[Justgrazing]

Good to see him flying the " fashionista Brit abroad " flag .. Though I'd have used a roll-on before leaving home .. 

[edwardandtubs]

Why is her surname Legge if her dad's surname is Edeard and her mum's Thai?

Thais dont know the meaning of 'illegal', especially when it comes to the Highway Code. As for roundabouts they just havnt a scooby do, give way to traffic already on the rounndabout or approaching from the right unless road markings/signs indicate otherwise would send them into meltdown. There was a roundabout on Jomtein 2nd road & i was going around it when the Thai truck driver in front of me promptly stopped to allow another vehicle onto it!!!!

Perhaps we are having our "Legge" pulled?

[sammieuk1]

Looks like a new shirt will be needed and probably some pants as well???? 

[LoS itaint]

Isn't that actually Thai law ? So the truck driver was acting correctly right ?

Not when I took my test it wasn’t. I use the word ‘test’ loosely

He's certainly not scruffily dressed, he's wearing perfectly normal 'casual wear' for a tropical climate. 

Added to which, I defy anyone to stand around in 36 degrees C and not sweat, especially in a stressful situation.

 

I'm more embarrassed about the stupidity of some of the comments on here and the contribution to the generalization that all Westerners contributing to ThaiVisa.com are idiots....

A little bit further along (southwards) in preparation for the motorway to Join Sukhumvit the road has been widened and resurfaced in both directions..makes a nice kilometer + long "wacky races strip"

I wonder when the motorway finally opens how many  will ignore/not see the single traffic light and just hurtle on straight through the junction.

 

I'm slightly disappointed the news crew didn't capture me capturing them at the scene yesterday. ????

 I would also have been slightly sweaty from 3 kilometer pedal "biking for beer"  workout ????

Makes him news worthy, as a secondary celeb due to siring his daughter

If you just cone off the first 10 metres or so of the road you are turning into, so you turn into a small alley of cones, that works. If anything hits you it would have had to run over all the cones first - you often see this setup outside schools but then the police remove them once all the kids are in.

 

Just leave them there - they work !

LOL, indeed!  There's a frustratingly normal U-turn near my house on a main road. 

 

Right side deceleration lane leading to the U-turn break in the median.  A dedicated, white line painted lane to receive about 5-7 normal size vehicles after making the tight U-turn, and then it tapers and merges into the 2 main traffic lanes.    Sometimes, like you said, BiB also puts out cones to make it a visually "protected" U-turn from oncoming traffic.  

 

I'd say 9/10 Thais sit there at the U-turn point, waiting for a break in the oncoming flow of traffic, rather than keep moving, make the turn, and either merge into traffic smoothly, or if no break available, go to the end of the merge lane, stop and wait to join from there.  Probably because this sensible configuration is an anomaly here.  Most main road U-turns are suicidal.

Brits, or any farang in Pattaya, have no clue how to dress. Mind you I also despair at Thai dress sense as well like mixing floral and stripes or spots and squares or any other awful combination you can think of. Then of course there are the totally over the top multi coloured t-shirts. Now I ain't no fashionista but I do try to dress accordingly and am colour-co-ordinated. And finally what really gets to me is the shirtless fat bloaters who don't give two XXX about what they look like.

Never heard of her !

Interested to know more about the celeb's mother's background. That would be more interesting news. Hilarious!

Well this "celeb" was born in London in 1984 I believe so her Mother must have been there at that time. Changing name, different surnames, Father living in Thailand ? we don't really know the ins and outs but check her out. Celeb perhaps once but not starred according to Google searches for a while now. But does it really matter ? Some guy, who has a daughter who appeared in some Thai productions years ago has an accident in his vehicle - so what ?

They are so vain and superficial. ????

[Muzarella]

Anyway... Full or Half-blood Thai women are stunningly beautiful. My wife, 42 years old, 65 Kilos and 5.7 foot tall, even after 12 years of marriage and one son, looks like any of those ones on the video. I am 26 years older, and not rich. If she wasn´t Thai and Buddhist I will be now with a nasty, ugly, and fat Westerner wife.

Thanks, Thailand.
