He walked from the court after being fined just 4,000 baht. Khun had been charged with negligence causing injury to Prarattana Rojanakaewprasert, 21, and damage to her bike after the incident near the Lamsalee intersection on Ramkhamhaeng Road on Monday of last week. The famous actor had also been charged with having an out of date licence, no tax and no third party insurance. He admitted everything and apologised to society.

He said he wasn't drunk and gave excuses as to why he did not contact the police at the scene. He said he had an important engagement upcountry and had no time and also couldn't contact the victim because he couldn't get a signal on his phone. The Bangkok North Municipal court handed down its verdict yesterday after Hua Mark police took the celebrity to the court. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-05-04 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

2long Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Well, I hope his 'conviction and suspended sentence' cause him a hell of a lot of trouble getting a visa to travel to countries like the UK!

clokwise Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) So pathetic. Hi-Sos and actors and celebrities are precisely the types of people who need to be made an example of. He should have received the maximum penalty so that his fans and others are made aware of the very real consequences of not following traffic laws.

Depends if you consider driving around knocking people off motorcycles while definitely not drunk but fiddling with a phone to get a signal, to be dangerous. Is that what he was doing ?... As you imply, was he drunk and using his phone at the same time ? I haven’t read the back-story to this so I don’t know how the incident itself happened.

Grecian Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Many western women do far worse emotional and financial damage to their husband than this bloke did and when they get taken to court walk away without a sentence of fine.
