jacko45k Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not that it justifies this drunken fool, but it does sound like the guy was working out on the street as one often sees in Thailand, a dangerous place to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside the building might have been, but they usually end up setting the building on fire. Anyhow, in this case, the issue is yet another drunk driver..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think alcohol is a far bigger problem with driving. But i guess that is not a drug you like to condemn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It would be good to know what happens to these drunken idiots after they kill or injure people, but there is never any follow-up. Based on the fact that he knew he was drunk and was a danger to others I imagine a minimum of 10 years might be a reasonable sentence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have shorter https://www.tuneprotect.co.th/en/portal/coronavirus-covid-19-insurance They should drop COE and lower insurance to a realistic max $10k, premium would drop drastically. Still, sandbox is much cheaper, with hotels from 8k for 2 weeks. Possibly sandbox will be also shortened. There is also a rumour, that from 1st november no quarantine in 8 provinces, including bkk 4 hours ago, Almer said: Not on the 16th floor No the Earthquake will get you there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Leaver Posted January 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2022 Sad story. The guy goes to work, to earn a day's pays for honest work, probably to provide for his wife and kid/s, and doesn't come home, through no fault of his own. He's a victim of a senseless crime, and I doubt any compensation will be forthcoming to his family who will be financially disadvantaged from his death. For a country with a tough stance on drugs and gambling, to have so many die on the roads here is crazy. RIP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
