Vigo man ends up in the sea - blames the tide and moss

 

 

A Thai man in a Toyota Vigo pick-up ended up in deep trouble after he tried to haul his speed boat out of the sea at Wonnapha Beach in Saensuk district of Chonburi yesterday. 

 

Porntwit, 24, said he had been successful before using a ramp to get his boat out of the sea. 

 

But this time a wave pulled him in. 

 

He blamed the tide for being out and slippery moss on the ramp for his woes but conceded that he was lucky that he managed to jump clear and avoid harm. 

 

 

Daily News completed the story with a picture of a random motorcyclist handily indicating the location of the ocean.

Sure, blame the tide, and the sea and the fish and even God, not your fault right? i swear, they're all out to get men...

[Leaver]

And to think we all share the road with this guy.  Frightening.

If he was 'pulled in' perhaps he's a convert. Must be the Holy See.

Porntwit well half of his name is very apt.

Is there a Nation of drivers dimmer than Thai's ?   Think you would be hard pressed to find one !

I hope his speed boat is okay, his current only means of transportation.

‘Blamed the rising tide’..... this chappy has something in common with King Canute.

 

A tough and expensive lesson to learn.

[MeePeeMai]

I guess his truck was a 2WD... (that or he failed to put it in 4WD Low).  Expensive lesson.

Only in Thailand we can  read and have a look at such funny news 

 

Lucky driver..the eggs aren't broken 

 

 

Certainly brakes failed 

 

 

And this one , what happened ?

 

 

This one, I love it ..

Cannot understand how to do it

The other half might be apt too - we don't know what he gets up to at weekend.

Strange, never someone who says "I was wrong"!

It's established now - look for more "moss excuses" in the future.

But not everyone is called Kate; 

we have one like that in France , his name is Richard Virenque, a former pro cyclist;

"I swallowed all this filth without the knowledge of my own free will"

Don't be too hard on him. Probably he usually used ramp at high tide and had no problem when the moss was covered and the ramp was dry.

 

That moss can be as slippery as hell and if he was on it no way would he have got out even with 4 wheel drive.

 

Though being a "seafaring" guy, he has a boat after all, he should have been aware of the moss.

****in plank!

 

If it's a toss-up between slippery moss and losing face,  slippery moss'll win every time.

Don't suppose it matters floating in the sea. I would expect it to be 2wd, obviously rear wheels, with little weight over them. I wonder if he took the back end into the water. In Jomtiem you pay the guy with the tractor!
