Last night, a couple from Pattaya lost their lives in a motorcycle accident. The deceased were identified as Santisuk Sae-tan, a 31 year old man, and Chatchawan Kangwanwuthikul, a 31 year old woman. The tragic incident occurred at approximately 8pm on a road situated in front of Khao Mai Kaew temple.

 

Rescuers arrived on the scene to find that a black Mitsubishi Mirage sedan and a black Honda PCX motorbike had collided, resulting in severe damage to both vehicles. Santisuk and Chatchawan were lying on the road with severe injuries.

 

The rescuers tried to save the victims, but they tragically succumbed to their injuries at the scene. The rescuers contacted the victims’ relatives, who confirmed that they were a couple, The Pattaya News reported.

 

Police arrived at the scene shortly after and questioned the driver of the sedan, 64 year old Thamnanab Matmooltri. The officers reported that Thamnanab appeared to be intoxicated, so they took him to the police station for an alcohol test.

 

Authorities suspect that Thamnanab was travelling at high speed and lost control, resulting in the collision with the victims.

DUI and killing two people should be a mandatory murder charge.

Bang him away forever.

Aged 64 he won't hurt anyone again.

The whole driving population is intoxicated with incompetence before the alcohol ????Rip 

Why i never ride at night

 

The ThaiRSC reported in January that as many as 939,713 road accidents were reported in Thailand last year, up 4.7% from 2021. Road accidents killed 14,737 people,

 

That figure is ridiculous, it means basically 1 in every 70 people in Thailand will be in a road accident every year !! 

 

Now some may say that the uk's 800,000 road accidents is very similar - BUT, Thai road deaths are 14,700 and UK death 1400 (10% of Thailand) - so basically what is the difference ? 

 

Answer - SPEED & ALCOHOL.

 

I've yet to meet any Thai relative of mine that does not hit the accelerator to 150 KM after pulling away from the kerb !

Slap on the wrist, blood money to the family, off he goes...

No phobem.
