Pattaya – An intoxicated construction contractor crashed his pickup truck into road barriers in Pattaya during a current mandatory curfew time early yesterday morning.

 

The Pattaya City Police was notified of the accident at 12:16 A.M. (September 16th) on the Motorway in Nongprue. Due to Covid-19, a mandatory curfew is currently in place from 9:00 P.M. to 4:00 A.M daily and has been running since July 20th.

 

Emergency responders arrived at the scene to find a damaged pickup truck as well as several slightly damaged road barriers.

 

The intoxicated driver, Mr. Pisarn Thongta, 35, a construction contractor, was found inside the pickup truck with his girlfriend, whose name was not released by law enforcement. They had both sustained minor injuries but declined medical assistance.

If they're not releasing the name either:

 - she's someone else's partner so she had to cover it up.

 - she's underage

 

Place your bets.

 

Mr. Pisarn is a Pishead alright ????

...or, there's just no reason to release her name, what's her identity got to do with anyone else?

 

"she's underage"

What is the legal age to be a passenger in a car?

Only because there wasn't one parked there.

Somewhat lower than that of being the 'girlfriend' of a 35 yr old man

What?  Are you seriously suggesting that the passenger was an underage girlfriend of the driver?  What are you basing that brilliant assertion on?

His own life....????

Based on the increase in traffic volume passing my condo after 9pm now, there can't be too many road checkpoints to ensure that people are abiding by the curfew. Maybe they should scrap the curfew and start breath testing stations. DIU doesn't seem to worry the average person but it might eventually sink in that drink driving leads to grief.

 

Come on! It wasn't his fault. He said so.
“Before the accident another car bumped into the rear bumper of my vehicle, sending me into a road barrier and causing me to lose control.” Mr. Pisarn also claimed.

 

Reminds me of a pickup driver who drove into a ditch outside my home and claimed someone had walked out in front of him. It was a quiet country road, 10.30 at night, where few walk even in the daytime. And no night-time stroller was in sight when we arrived at the scene 30 seconds after the accident.

So common especially the last few days, a few days ago another contractor? up on Tungkom Talang after curfew crash into a house same had a girl with him now this I wouldn't be surprise both were drunk and had their zipper down too prior to it happening!????

Under age for the media to report her name obviously.

Agricultural vehicles driven by Thais still manage to crash on empty roads. lol.

I'm gonna guess she's the daughter of someone prominent and should not have been in this situation during curfew

This just keeps happening and it is only fortunate nobody was injured or worse here by this selfish stupid driver. I would like to hear the vehicle has been impounded and he had to spend the night in the cells and will be heavily fined for drunk driving. As to protecting the girl's identity, I have no sense of her needing protection... she allowed him to drive drunk and got into the vehicle herself. Thais currently have no sense of consequence and do not worry what their actions might bring about... he could have hit another vehicle packed with people. 

cant be brakes failed as most thai (drunk)  drivers say !!!

That is not obvious.   

 

Insinuations were being made about a 35-year old man having an underage girlfriend and the subsequent connotations.   The contexts of those allegations were, obviously, not relating to "the media not being able to release her name due to her age", a rule that you have made up in the context of a road accident.

he deserved what he got!

No such insinuations were made, I literally said that the media wasn't releasing their name right above it.

 

Your own personal biases drew you to your conclusion about having an underage girlfriend. Get your mind out of the gutter.

I made no suggestions that anyone was underage, I responded to your post that said that she may be.    Your mind is the one in the gutter, this is what you posted...

"If they're not releasing the name either:

 - she's someone else's partner so she had to cover it up.

 - she's underage"

That is insinuating that the 35-year old man was with an underage girl and "underage" generally refers to underage for sex.   If you're saying that she may be underage for something else, you should clarify what that is.  Let's hear what else could she be "underage" for that required her identity to be hidden after nothing more than a mild road accident?

Right but what did the good people of Pattaya do to deserve the sh*t lode of these reckless thai males in pickups that are in news just about everyday.
