Daily News Thai Caption: Tragedy

 

Daily News reported on the tragic death of a husband from Myanmar who helped his Thai wife escape death after she reversed into a 10 meter deep pond in front of their house at a Cha-Am housing estate.

 

Naimo, 39, had decided to let his learner driver wife Noranat, 41, reverse out of their home in Ban Nong Yao, Khao Yai sub-district.

 

She later admitted she was not a good driver and she accidentally panicked in reverse by stepping on the accelerator. 

 

They ended up in the deep pond.

Her husband managed to help her get out. She couldn't swim well but managed to scramble to the edge.

 

But her husband sank beneath the water in their Fortuner.

 

When rescue arrived they pulled out the Fortuner but the body of the husband was not inside.

 

He was found by divers at the bottom of the pond four hours later.

Cha-Am police are investigating.

So very tragic - died saving his wife.

A horrific, and yes, avoidable incident - what happened to going to a disused car-park ?

 

I know I know... 20/20 hindsight, monday morning quarterbacking etc...  but really... she couldn’t drive so the husband gets her to blackout infront of a khlong ? - So many people around the world and here in Thailand seem not to carry any concept of consequence.

Driving lessons are the only answer.
