Well if she did get runover it would be "case closed".

[twizzian]

Maybe she’s not very well 🫡

They push food carts (non motorized) all over the roads in Pattaya that creates traffic chaos all hours of the day and night. I fail to see the difference from a safety perspective.

Another potential Darwin Award winner 🥇 did she make it to her destination?seems totally unencumbered with critical thinking…..idiot for sure!

Looks like Rampkhampheng road she’s probably going to airport link

When you ride don't show 

What else can a poor girl do?

Just imagine life without cars - freight sent on railways ( then electric floats for the final delivery). Roads safe and pleasant to navigate on foot,  by bicycle, on electric scooters, bikes and trikes, golf carts, even on an electric suitcase. Solar panels connected to chargers.  Clean air and no traffic noise.

Everyone a bit fitter and healthier because of the clean air and the roads being pleasant to walk alongside.

Technically, is this illegal? Points for creativity! 

Do you really need to ask?

Education in China under the Communist Party is terribly, terribly deficient. I expect that she has no idea about what is right or wrong.

The police said according to the Vehicles Act and Road Traffic Act of 1979, a suitcase is not considered a vehicle and therefore cannot be registered as one and legally used on public roads.

 

Using a non-vehicle on a public road is also considered “blocking the traffic”, in violation of the Road Traffic Act, police also said.

 

The traffic police said investigations revealed that the woman in the video was a Chinese tourist who has already left the country.

 

So is riding 4 up on a scooter, no helmets, unregistered or insured and or driving said scooter one handed while talking on a mobile phone. Has anything changed or is it too hard to administer, just keep burying the dead and picking fault with alleged misbehaviour of expats.

The addiction for the cell phone is worst than heroin.

[john donson]

that would bring road kills to zero... and look, great in traffic...

[harryviking]

We are not allowed to have batteries in the suitcase when checking it in on a plane. The what about checking in an electric suitcase??? It just has to have a battery, right??What have I missed here I wonder.....

A video posted on the social media platform X sparked outrage and concern over road safety. The video shows a woman riding an electric suitcase while simultaneously dragging a large piece of luggage and using her mobile phone on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road near Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok.

 

The video quickly went viral, with many social media users expressing disbelief and criticising the woman’s actions. Comments ranged from shock to sarcastic remarks, below.

 

"What? Things you never thought you'd see! What made her think riding an electric suitcase on the road would be safe?"

"She's too chill. It’s like she's mad at her husband for not driving her to Don Mueang."

"If she gets hit by a car, would the driver be at fault?"

"Riding and using her phone at the same time... just wow."

"So relaxed, playing on her phone like it's no big deal."

 

The incident has drawn attention to the growing trend of using unconventional personal transport devices in unsafe environments, sparking debate over safety regulations on the roads.

Own transport to the airport?

Taxi drivers and the  company(that operates A1 buses to Don Muang Airport) will certainly not be pleased.

It was confirmed on a BP post she's Chinese. The question though is why she did it, when a taxi/Grab ride would be 150-300 baht (30-60 yuan), or BTS/MRT then Red Line at a total cost of 35-70 baht (7-14 yuan). Because in China she would be detained within seconds (anything other than a car or bike/scooter is illegal in Chinese streets), while Thailand is a "free for all".

OH!.....Is she an 'influencer'.....that would explain a lot.

[Flying Saucage]

Not much slower than a typical Thai truck.

I have seen quite a few Chinese tourists with 20-30kg suitcases who chose  to walk 2-3 miles to the airport to save the cost of Songthaew ride(B40- from Chiang Mai Old City). 

So when they have scooter suitcase, some of them would not hesitate to use it as the meaning of transport to skip the cost of bus ride.

More quality tourists. No surprises here.

Actually, that's a great idea, to ride your suitcase! Assuming it's not so far.... But not on the damn road!! lol Unfortunately, the sidewalks here are so RIDICULOUSLY BAD, it would be impossible to do it on the sidewalk, so in the end, you can't really do it at all.

[Zack61]

As the thick as 2 planks comes to mind. 

[thaibeachlovers]

I'm disappointed. I was expecting something more risque than a woman on a motorised suitcase, though perhaps she was riding it on a rough road.
