Motorcyclist attacks public bus with rocks, bottles in Nonthaburi
Photo courtesy of KhaoSod By Puntid Tantivangphaisal An unidentified man driving a white motorcycle chased and attacked a public bus with rocks and bottles in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi province. The event occurred yesterday, December 11, when 37 year old Kwanchai was driving the public bus on route 32 between Wat Pho and Wat Bo in Pak Kret. Alongside him was 36 year old Nattiporn who managed the fare collection. Both later reported the unsettling event to the Nonthaburi City Police Station. Kwanchai recounted the unexpected encounter while driving along Pracharat Road Line 1. As he approached the Bang Pho metro station, a young man on a motorcycle, dressed similarly to a courier, suddenly cut in front of the bus. Kwanchai maintained that he was driving normally and responsibly, particularly because the bus was fully loaded with passengers at the time. Nattiporn shared her perspective on the incident, explaining that they had made a routine stop in front of Yothinburana School to let passengers off. It was at this point that the first alarming event took place. A loud noise, resembling an object hitting the bus window, was heard. The motorcycle rider was spotted standing on the traffic island and threw a bottle at the bus. The passengers, visibly shaken, urged Kwanchai to drive on quickly, suspecting the attack might be linked to local youth conflicts. As the journey continued, the situation escalated. When the bus reached Phibulsongkram Road, the same motorcycle rider reappeared, this time wielding a rock. He dismounted his motorcycle and waited on the traffic island, targeting the driver’s side of the bus with a rock, resulting in a second assault. This time, the rock shattered the windshield but fortunately did not penetrate the vehicle. Concerned for the safety of the passengers, Nattiporn advised them to take cover on the bus floor. “I feared for the passengers’ safety, so I instructed them to lie down.” With the safety of the passengers in mind, Kwanchai decided to let them disembark midway before returning the bus to the depot. The urgency to report the incident to the police was paramount, as the possibility of further attacks was a significant concern. The unsettling events have raised questions about the motive behind the attacks, as neither Kwanchai nor Nattiporn could recall any prior incident that might have provoked such aggression. The randomness of the attack has left both the bus crew and passengers puzzled and wary. This incident sparked a discussion about passenger safety and the unpredictable nature of such violent acts. Public transportation staff often face challenges, but such direct and inexplicable hostility is particularly alarming. The bus company is now reviewing safety protocols to better protect passengers and staff in the future. Police are investigating the incident, seeking to identify the perpetrator and determine the motive behind these aggressive actions. The focus remains on ensuring the safety and security of all those who rely on public transport in the area, reported KhaoSod. Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-12-12 -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
No I don't think so. If you have 3 phase many motors then you probably would need to balance the phases. Me with 15/45 supply can probably use up the 50A per phase (but the neibours would have a problem). My genset is single phase, feeding 3 phases when the mains power fails. No problems except the neutral current is not 0 which it would be in a typical 3 phase set up. Thailand is 3 seperate phases, red and neutral, blue and neutral etc. I've 2 3 phase multipoint water heaters only as 3 phase. 😉
