Drunk driver hits 3 cars in Pattaya, fails bid to drive into the sea

By The Nation

 

 

An inebriated woman banged her car against three other cars in Chonburi on Tuesday (August 25) and then tried to drive into the sea only to be stopped by the footpath.

 

Muang Pattaya Police Station was notified of the incident at about 12.30am and showed up to find three cars damaged.

 

Motorist Sathaphon Khodmee, 29, said he had been awaiting at the traffic lights when he saw the car crash into other cars.

 

Bystanders told police that the driver tried to drive off but was chased by another car. In a move to lose the car behind her, the driver then headed towards the sea but eventually came to a stop when she hit the promenade.

 

Police pulled Kornkamon Namnai, 28, out of the car and learned that she worked at a hotel in Pattaya’s Na Jomtien neighbourhood.

 

Police reported that the woman was incoherent, but showed no signs of injury. She will be charged with negligent driving as alcohol content in her body stood at 252 milligrams per cent.

Is that a Toyboata Vigo she be driving then .. 

Was she also following her GPS ???

 

What is 252 milligrams per cent ??? 252mg/100mg ???

 

Thailands DUI limit is BAC of 50mg/100mg (if over 20 or with a full licence - 2 yr temp licence is 20mg/100mg).

 

So, this lady was incoherent, 5x the legal limit ? - but charged with negligent driving ????

 

Is negligent driving a more severe charge than driving under the influence ?
 

God you can't do anything now without the police getting on your back

She was Tuna yabaa tablet on her way to Marine disco apparently. She got distracted by a Russian man wearing a Mullet. Onlookers spotted her at Dolphin roundabout and reported she was playing music with heavy Bass.

If you want to criticize what is written in the article, you should make sure you get your own facts correct

 

Thailand’s legal blood-alcohol limit for drivers is 0.5 grams per liter of blood, and 0.2 grams for drivers who have possessed their license for less than five years.

 

Someone with a alcohol content of 20mg/100mg in his blood would probably be dead.

??????????????  meaningless - does this mean 252 mg or 5 times the legal limit of 50 mg/100 ml or does it mean 0.252 %

The police will no doubt put her in her Plaice 

Once she finds out what  the charges are

Then she'll get battered!

drunk or not ,she did what both the drivers that hit me did ,run away.

If she's in debt, she could repay the sick squid she still owes.

They seem to say 252 milligrams per dl (tenth of a liter).

Likely bad translation or communication error.

But in Thailand they always use mg/dl.

 

Drunk as a skunk. Many would not be able to enter the vehicle with that.

In Germany it would be called 2.52 per mill. (‰) and a criminal offense.

In case of 3rd party bodily harm it would be prison.

 

So correct from: 252mg/100mg

to: 252mg/100ml

Sounds like my missus, must take her for a brain scan, and give her a shot to keep her jaw from moving.
