webfact Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 A disturbing incident surfaced on the "Want to be Famous? We'll Make It Happen" Facebook page, highlighting an incident from an ambulance's dashcam footage recorded on Sunday afternoon (3 September). The clip showed a black sedan refusing to give way to the ambulance, despite the latter transporting a patient in dire need of medical attention. The sedan obstinately remained in front of the ambulance for more than 30 seconds, reported Sanook. Voices from the ambulance's loudspeaker could be heard in the footage, pleading with the sedan driver to make way. "Excuse me, won't you move to the left for us?" a medical staff exclaimed, followed by, "We have a patient onboard." To add to the alarming behavior, there was a moment when the black sedan abruptly applied the brakes, even when there was significant space ahead, further impeding the ambulance's progress. -- ASEAN NOW 2023-09-05 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post CanadaSam Posted September 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Thailand DESPERATELY needs at least one or two of these cases prosecuted as "attempted manslaughter" or the equivalent, because that is what it actually is! The news following these one or two cases would solve this problem overnight, IMO! Edited September 5, 2023 by CanadaSam Spelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffersLos Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 My Thai language teacher explained it as ego and power trip, and being righteous by add to their Karma, as the patient's situation is due to them committing bad deeds in their past lives.

His excuse in the video, he was playing music too loud to hear it. Plus, he thought something was broken on his car. There was talk of increasing the fine from 500 baht to 10-20k. If the patient dies due to interfering with the ambulance, a murder charge could be levied. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre0720 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 In a land where the notion of 'responsibility' does not exist, this behavior should surprise no one... And of course he will have some reason to decline responsibility, they all are masters at it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeTallFarang Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Why are they so concerned with saving face? Umm... sweetheart...you live in Thailand, a mostly irrelevant country, you have no money, and you drive a Honda civic. You're as low as it gets on the totem pole. What face is there to save, and to whom? You are not important in Thailand and less than not important to the rest of the world. There is no 'face' to save, it's just nutty hallucinations and dumb culture. "MUST SAVE FRACE, NO HAB BIGGER CAR TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" ???? good job Somchai-ette (guessing it was probably a woman driving, didn't bother watching entire video) Edited September 5, 2023 by HandsomeTallFarang 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
