Chonburi – A 44-year-old man has been pronounced dead on a railway in the Phan Thong District after being run over by a train yesterday morning (October 8th).

 

The Phan Tong Police were notified of the accident at 9:50 A.M. near a temple in the Kok Keenon sub-district.

 

They and rescue workers arrived at the scene to find the body of Mr. Kampan Chaochengyuen, 44, lying on the railway. He was found lying face down and had suffered severe injuries from being run over by a train.

 

A bowl of half-eaten noodles was found near his body, leading police to believe that Kampan may have been eating on the train tracks prior to the accident. The train managed to stop about 300 meters further down the railway.

 

A security guard, Mr. Songkran Sornnarain, 58, who was at a security box nearby told Phan Thong police, “I saw Kampan walking shirtless near my security booth holding a bowl of noodles.

Imagine dying hit by a train? being drunk he probably didn't even relisted what hit him... either that or he just wanted to board the train from the wrong end...

"...the victim was likely heavily intoxicated."

 

Heavily intoxicated Thai man dies as a result of his own irresponsibility is NOT NEWS. The more i read about these events, the more I am convinced it is the norm. Especially during holiday celebrations.

How do you die by being hit by a train, if you are NOT intoxicated? It is fairly hard to miss a train. And anyone who sits down, relaxes on the tracks, and enjoys a meal is looking for trouble. Sorry to sound insensitive (for the PC brigade) but Darwin was correct. Survival is an art, and a required skill for those of us who plan on making it to a ripe old age. Stupidity kills in many forms.

"This looks like a good spot to sit down and enjoy these noodles."

I mean it is sad but no degree of drunkenness is sufficient to explain the decision to chow down on the train tracks as this poor guy apparently did.

But observed him walking down the tracks?

Or he was having his last supper before departing.

Darwinism at its best. Long may it continue. My thoughts are with those on the train.

so was he hit by the 303 to Bangkok or the 204 to Changchasoe    ...... 

 

keep away from the train tracks.

Before the train hit him he was intoxicated but afterwards he was absolutely legless.....

Yet another reason I drink at home. RIP noodle guy.
