Thai woman says "I'll be more careful next time" after driving into the sea

 

Picture: Naew Na

 

Police and rescue services were called to the Kon Ao beach near Ban Phe, Rayong after a 32 year old Thai woman drove her Mazda 2 into the sea. 

 

It was a race against time to tow it out as the tide was coming in and high winds were swirling. 

 

But after an hour the car was dragged out with no damage to the engine. 

 

The driver said she had come to the beach with a friend and she was sleepy. After putting the car in gear she went into the sea. 

 

"I'll take more care next time" she told her rescuers as her friend took over the driving duties for the journey back home to Muang district Rayong. 

 

In a video the tow truck driver who pulled her out told Thai Rath what he had done and how much he had charged her while a witness on the beach told how the driver had appeared "tired" and had driven up and down several times before driving headlong into the sea.

I'll only drive into lakes and swimming pools.

[ezzra]

I hear that trees, road signs and concrete poles has this nasty habits in getting in away of some drivers but the sea? this is a new one even for me...

[CelticBhoy]

She was told to dip her headlights on dry land in the future  . . . .  ????

[mercman24]

happens a lot in the UK, the west country , Brean-- Weston Super Mare, they drive onto the beach, the sea is miles out next think ya know its lapping round your feet, its out of town holiday makers who get caught out

[PatOngo]

I'd rather she drove in the sea and NOT on the road!

[PatOngo]

The transition from the buffalo cart to modern vehicles has not been a smooth one!

[OneMoreFarang]

Where is the picture of the Thai woman?

 

Because if she is cute we can say: We all make mistakes from time to time, don't worry.

 

And if she is ugly: What a stupid ignorant woman!

A word of advice dear, next time just blame your GPS.

But just wait a year and see what the rest of the car looks like. The exhaust will be the first to go? Followed there after by....

 

Seawater and cars do not mix regardless how long for.

The exhaust will dry got in a minute with the engine running but I bet there are parts that will start rusting soon.

Tired! She was probably drunk, or having driving lessons from her friend. Did the police check her alcohol level?

plausible!

[OJAS]

Maybe she should trade in the Mazda 2 for something like this:-

 

[Matzzon]

Yep, next time she will take her brain with her.

[tifino]

i'd give it 2 years...  

[tomazbodner]

Mazda 2 for sale, gray colour, very low mileage, sparkling clean, inside and out.

[sometimewoodworker]

Where is the picture of the number plate? For the next lottery. ???? 

[unamazedloso]

Sleepy? On heroin or something? Perhaps dont drive in that condition but i guess that would be thinking...

[rtco]

Sea'n it all now

[Soundspeed]

Thais are only really taught how to operate the vehicle and nothing about driving safely. Guess this one even failed the first part. " It was the seas fault. I put on the brakes and the sea didn't stop."

[toenail]

Thai  women can be very sweet...but many lack common sense. Why is this?

With water activities it is always important to plan and select a good entry point.

[twizzian]

Just another confirmation of the driving skills here.

Felt sleepy so she accelerated into the ocean.

 

on the bright side, if she decided to sell the car soon after, she can honestly advertise as no heavy accident or flood “usually from the rain”.

[Samuel Smith]

Lucky she wasn't in a clifftop car park.
