77kaoded Thai Caption: Zzzz - nearly hits a lamppost

 

77kaoded reported from an accident in Ao Nang, Krabi in southern Thailand when a male guide in a car drove into an area by a house. 

 

It happened at house number 308 in Moo 6 in Ao Nang sub-district where ten people came out to see the aftermath by a mango tree.

 

Thanakorn, 28, had been behind the wheel and had a lucky escape suffering no injuries at all though he was taken to hospital just to be sure.

There was damage to his Yaris and one sapling had been flattened and a wall damaged. No one was hurt at the house either. 

 

May said she was talking with a friend at the house when she heard a noise and was shocked.

 

They would normally have been chatting outside.

 

 

She said it was lucky the driver didn't hit a power pole or the mango tree. 

 

It is thought that lap nai or a microsleep was responsible for the driver losing control.

The land of micro sleeping!! Can't make up these stories, there are no defective vehicles in Thailand any more or drunk drivers.  It's all down to the new post covid pandemic of micro sleeping sweeping the country.  ????

A male guide ? Wouldn't want to be on any of his guided tours

Or any of the other excuses people find to crash.

Scenic route not appealing enough?

TIT - the land of microsleep, failed brakes, pickup trucks hydroplaning in the rain and all that.  Oh, and " I didn't see her-him-it in the road." 

the fact that someone in an position of authority in this country ACTUALLY had that sign made and posted should scare the pants off you. 

 

the sheer ignorance and lack of accountability scares me daily. 

I'm so glad the mango tree was ok and i hope it gets over the shock.

“She said it was lucky the driver didn't hit a power pole or the mango tree…”. PhuckDat Brudda, would be better than my front garden.. chai-mai?
