A drunk foreign man crashed his sedan into a som tam vendor in Pattaya in the early hours of today. However, the foreigner’s Thai girlfriend refused to accept the blame, accusing the victim of faking his injuries, and having connections with a top police chief.

 

The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Foundation was alerted to the incident, which occurred at the entrance of Soi Buakhao at around 5am, today, January 10. Rescuers, along with officers from the Mueang Pattaya Police Station, rushed to the scene to assist the victim, 58 year old som tam vendor Sakda.

 

Sakda sustained a serious head wound and injuries across his body but refused to go to a hospital, stating that he could not afford the medical expenses. His papaya salad cart was damaged, and his kitchen utensils were scattered across the road.

 

Nearby, a bronze Toyota Vios sedan with a damaged front bumper was found. The foreign driver appeared to be heavily intoxicated. He was accompanied by his Thai girlfriend, who also seemed to be drunk.

 

The couple suffered only minor injuries. The Thai woman caused a commotion, allegedly swearing at Sakda and witnesses. She even attempted to attack police officers and rescuers.

 

 

Protect foreign boyfriend

 

The woman accused the injured vendor of crashing his food cart into their car and faking his injuries. She interfered with the first aid being provided to Sakda and tried to shift the blame onto someone else to protect her foreign boyfriend from facing legal consequences.

 

She resisted arrest, claiming to know a high-ranking police officer in Pattaya and warning the officers that they would face troubles in their careers if they arrested her or her boyfriend.

 

The police ignored her threats and took both her and her boyfriend into custody. According to Channel 7, a crowd of witnesses cheered, laughed, and applauded as the couple were arrested.

 

At the police station, the woman claimed that she was the driver, not her boyfriend. She attempted to take responsibility for the accident but witnesses insisted that the foreigner was the driver. The police plan to review security camera footage to confirm the identity of the driver before issuing charges.

 

According to Section 390 of the Criminal Law, the foreign driver may face up to one month in prison, a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or both for reckless driving causing injury. He may also face an additional fine of 400 to 1,000 baht for reckless driving that damaged Sakda’s food cart and other belongings.

Fines for reckless driving.

And what about the heavy intoxicated state?

Usually means arrest until court appearance and much higher fines.

Bail out from arrest until court for 30000 Baht or so.

(from a first hand report)

Top girl!  Well done.

[EVENKEEL]

She's a keeper.

[bkk6060]

I want to marry her.

[stubuzz]

Was the vendor in the road or on the pavement?

Were blood tests given?

The Thai police can be very tolerant.

That is going to be the worst hangover ever, don't understand people who drink and drive in Pattaya, taxis are so cheap and available 24/7.

Of course she would.  If her BF goes into lockup, or gets deported, she loses her meal ticket.

Classy.

Outside of Bangkok I don't think that I was ever able to get a taxi driver to use the meter.

Still a lot cheaper and safer for everyone if cost of a taxi is a problem in pattaya have few less drinks money saved will pay for taxi.

Stop a baht bus and have sole use for 2-300 baht if you can't afford that never mind coz you can't afford to drink full stop

[Kinok Farang]

I've had her.

Long story about 2 drunkards causing an accident.

RTP should arrest them both, fine them, let them pay compensation. End of story.

...just do not drink if you know you have to drive; it's as simple as that.

 

however, as we all know, people who drive under the influence only care about themselves ...

I no longer live in Thailand, but back in the UK I never drink & drive, partly because I need to drive for work. And, never drove in Thailand.

He obviously hasn't paid her yet...

Sorry dear, but driving drunk is indefensible and I doubt the Som Tam cart guy was deliberately looking for someone to run into.

No word of driving under the influence of alcohol?
Just pay 400 to 1,000 baht?

That is true love. Defending her cash register.
