Recklessness would require a conscious decision to ignore the risks of one's actions. I don't think this is what is described. This is more like an instance of negligence: a failure to exercise ordinary prudence in one's actions (or inactions). In this case, leaving an open container of bleach where it could be blown over and its contents damage others' property may be construed as a negligent act. Either way, one can be held liable for damages, even in Thailand. Whether it clears the economic threshold to justify legal action is another matter.

Op did not intentionally vandalise their cars. If I was the victim and had first class insurance I probable wouldn't want to involve my insurance for this. Just to eliminate the risk that my premium would go up for the next year. I would be sorry for the OP but insist on a paint job via the car dealership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre0720 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Buddha works in mysterious ways. So he should take responsibility. But seriously, the insurance covering the cars will pay.

And shed responsibility . Nice to see we have some quality expats living in Thailand. That's a bit of an unwarranted slur on expats in general, it would have been more accurate to say "Nice to see we have some quality expats on Thaivisa"!

How could anyone know that there was dried bleach on a wall from a few days earlier and then know that heavy rain, instead of washing the diluted bleach down the wall, managed to dump it, still concentrated on to another car? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a shame that rain was able to reconstitute unnoticed, two-day old dried bleach from a wall into concentrated bleach again and dump it off the wall onto a car as opposed to washing it, diluted after tropical rain, to the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashirelad Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Without pics to aid I'm still trying to figure out how this happened. Just about every condo balcony I've ever been on in Thailand has a surface water drain. Why didn't the drain cleaner run down the drain? For it to land on the cars they must have been parked half in and half out under the balcony. (unless the wind blew it as spray?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
