If he has enough respiratory power to survive, then he has the power for a breath test. Period. All the rest is just police PR, intended to deflect blame for letting this overly rich creep off the hook.

Can they ask for DNA as well as alcohol test with the blood. 

Just in case there may be an "accidental" mixup with some other non polluted blood. 

????

DNA isn't that a K Pop band?

Seems Thai police have a different view to other countries on reasonable time for taking blood alcohol readings.  Two hours I believe is a standard.  Blood alcohol concentrations reduce by 0.015 per hour.  He had several hours to potentially drop from mid/low range to legal limit.  Very convenient delay for the very wealthy driver.  Hmm.  Me thinks maybe something going on.  

As you stated 2 hours would/ is the norm in Australian cities from time bib ask until punter is having a blood collection done.

I will say this bloke deserves some credit as he appears to have stayed around and not blamed the gardner.

So this was a rich Thai in other words? If it had been a foreigner the Thai legal system wouldn't have needed any evidence, just another Thai to say what they think. Racist as ever.

But it wasn't a foreigner so it wasn't racist (wouldn't be anyway).

Instead of arguing his alleged intoxication, there's a very good chance that he was just another rubbish driver.

 

I saw some dashcam video on a local news clip yesterday. It was one spectacular wipe-out and it's amazing that nobody got killed.

Backlash surges online over ‘drunk’ millionaire’s car crash

 

 

The millionaire whose Bentley crashed into an SUV on an expressway may have been drunk at the time of the crash, according to a blood test administered several hours later, according to social media users who are accusing police of – once again – helping a millionaire avoid the consequences of illegal and socially destructive behaviour.
Police on Wednesday said the blood test conducted on businessman Suthat Siwapiromrat found a level of alcohol in his blood lower than the illegal amount. However, the test was conducted more than three hours after the crash, which occurred at 12.30am.

Blood alcohol levels can fall swiftly .
