A delivery truck plunged into the Chao Phraya River near Wat Klang Kred pier, carrying a full load of parcels destined for customers.

 

The incident, which caused significant damage and required several hours for vehicle recovery, has highlighted the vulnerability of goods in transit despite the increasingly common practice of insuring them against loss or damage.

 

The rise of online shopping has led to a boom in the logistics sector, with a plethora of companies, both state-owned and private, offering delivery services.

 

These services often include insurance for goods to protect against loss or damage, with terms and conditions set by the respective companies. However, it is uncertain whether each delivery will reach its destination without incident, reported KhaoSod.
