Pattaya — Pattaya mayor Poramase Ngampiches used his own money to compensate the driver whose car got crushed by a large tree on Sunday, October 23rd.

 

Poramase said he had the city’s botanists examine the tree yesterday, October 24th, and found that its interior was hollow and decaying due to termites, which was why it toppled despite appearing strong from the outside.

10,000 baht Wow how generous, isn't that the fee for attending one committee meeting ?. Hope the insurance pay out if they had it.

10,000 THB compensation? To keep quiet? And the council has no public liability insurance? What happens when somebody falls down an open drain, trips on the endless repaving, gets strung up by a dangling wire? Of course. "Mayor pays from his own pocket". As if!

 

Note, just saw above post
