Thai netizens took to social media on Tuesday to vent their frustration towards a celebrity who posted a video of him speeding and disobeying traffic laws at a time when sensitivity towards traffic violations are heightened after a fatal accident involving a doctor and an off duty police officer.

 

Using the hashtag #บีมศรัณยู (Beem Sarunyu), netizens were quick to criticize Sarunyu “Beam” Prachakrit, a Thai celebrity, and heir of an automotive parts company.

 

In the video he posted, he could be seen speaking to his followers while driving a car and and holding a kratom plant in his hand.

agreed... continued incessant juvenile idiocy....   

 

That said, he wasn’t driving dangerously or recklessly in his ‘open top jeep’...   He was just being an utter t!t and holding a leaf up in front of his face... 'driving without care and attention’ is fitting....  Also using his phone...  silly to$$er.

Ha, Thailand is self-sufficient. No need for My Mate Nate!

Wearing of seat-belts obviously optional, as we know.

A future Thai F1 driver... NOT  (but a wanna be, sure)

Did you have to mention that name, I had just about cleaned it out if my memory bank and then you gone along are screw it all up ????????

So who was more reckless, this jeep driver with no seat belt and waving a selfie stick and krahtom leaf, or the idiot riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the road in the off-side lane, riding towards the jeep driver...?

[brianthainess]

Spoiled little Brat ! End of.

[mtls2005]

He looks like he was lit in the video.

 

Driving no-hands, steering with his legs, and using a selfie-stick, and posting it all point to a massive lack of awareness.

Didn't the lazy police call for the public to do their job for them & send in clips of loony drivers to claim a reward?  He deserves a discount off the huge fine he should collect when Plod gets off their collective arras.

(Excuse spelling mistake in the last word.)

I'd say he's the government poster boy for the coming campaign to return kratom to a Cat 5 status.

Anyway, Kratom is a nothing-burger.  The same weight of cannabis bud would be a different story. 
So watch for the MOT to start their anti-kratom campaign in 3, 2, 1 ..................

Both!

The elites know that if they kill a plod or commoner they can simply pay the family some minuscule amount of money like the equivalent of $1500 to $3000 to compensate for the lifetime of earning potential of the decrease - and - if they doesn't work?  Jump on their private jet and head somewhere where they have dual citizenship and the host country will protect the wealthy.

The huge ego makes up of a lack in other anatomical areas.

Just goes to prove the complete lack of intelligence of the majority of celebrities, as demonstrated by  the other idiot, Nate the prat mentioned earlier.

Or 'a rich tapestry, typically hung on the walls of a room or used to conceal an alcove.'
