On September 11, family members of Mr. Wiggo, a 71-year-old Norwegian man, with the assistance of Ekapop Luangprasert, advisor to the Minister of Interior and founder of the “Sai Mai Tong Rod” (Sai Mai Must Survive) page, filed a complaint at Prachachuen Police Station.

 

 

 

 

They reported that Mr. Wiggo was hit by an automatic door inside a transport company on Kamphaeng Phet 7 Road in Mo Chit on August 26, causing him to fall and fracture his hip, requiring urgent surgery in the ICU and over half a month of treatment in the ICU.

Sounds like an open or shut door to me.

They mention a life insurance in the original article, but a Norwegian life insurance does not cover medical costs of course 😆

 

Something lost in translation again? I guess Mr. Wiggo has a travel insurance....

Two weeks in an ICU unit would indicate either a serious injury or the hospital padding the bill.

or else Article 5 of NATO would be evoked. 

Army warlords scared sh*tless.

"the police invited legal representatives from the transport company and the victim’s relatives for negotiations to reach a resolution. The outcome was positive, with the transport company accepting the victim’s family’s conditions ...

The relatives are satisfied and feel somewhat better that the transport company will take responsibility".

Did the door have instructions on how to use it?

Mr Wiggo and his family are not welcome at the Transport company anymore.

Without advisor to the Minister of Interior and founder of the “Sai Mai Tong Rod” (Sai Mai Must Survive), this incident would have fizzled away into thin air most likely ....... 

What is being done to prevent such an accident in the future?

A fractured hip on a 71-year old is a serious injury.
