Needless to say - he did a runner and he would still be running if his health hadn't taken a turn for the worse and he had to go to the hospital.

 

Kamnan Poh didn't run anywhere, he was living in plain sight in Chonburi.

 

Much like Boss Red Bull was doing up until 2017.

A car is nothing is nothing more than a piece of metal and not worth chasing someone down over.
 

This guy should be sent to prison for the rest of his life, but seeing he's coming from a wealthy family I’m sure justice won’t be served.

Their suppressed emotions are released when they are driving.

 

You see the real Thais out on the roads.

Fact check

 

There is a lot of truth in that post. A lot of land in central Bangkok is owned by Indian families.

I've been driving a car in Bangkok almost everyday for 20 yrs., and have never been hit by a motorbike. I also ride a motorbike and yeah, I've nicked a few mirrors, but never broke or damaged one. Btw, love your profile pic.

Same here, although I have a few years on you. I have never been hit by a bike. However, when riding, I've been bullied by cars multiple times every ride.

He will be hiding in a village somewhere soon, acquiring a new identity and paying off the victim’s family not to pursue. Thai justice continues.

If I had to live on 300 baht a day, you'd be able to see the nerve endings jutting out of my fingertips.

 

At the very least, that explains a lot of the difference in how we all handle money situations.

 

 

But this was about road rage wasn't it?  I mean it wasn't withholding payment or something.  I get it.   A person here earns 300 baht a day and someone tries to cheat them of 100 baht I might consider violence to collect.  But road rage?  Gotta just let it go.

What's your basis for your assertion that bail is out of the question for similar incidents fpr other people?

Out on bail WHY ?

Because it is an option under the Thai judicial system.

Why should his uninvolved, innocent family be punished with that irrational penalty?

Bail is for when there is doubt to guilt.

No, it is not just for that.   No one is guilty until that has been proven in court; like it or not, he is innocent at the moment under Thai law (and also the laws of your own, and all other, countries).

$20,000 bail for murder?  

No, B600,000.  This is Thailand where Thai, not US, standards for bail apply.

I hate coming to Bangkok in the car, mainly because the motorcycles are a  public menace, the amount of times theyve hit my car is unbelievable, and off they go without a  care in the world leaving you with an expensive broken mirror or scrape down the side of your car from their sheer impatience

Yeah Ive read the story.......cue victim blaming, yawn

Driven in Bangkok for many years and I live near the accident scene. Only once in many years did a motorbike hit my mirror and he stopped.  No real damage. I find your version of stating motorbikes hit your cars often is either misleading or you are the most unlucky driver in Bangkok.  Yes there are a lot of motorbikes. Yes they pass on both sides of your car. But they do not collide with cars or mirrors often with the majority of drivers.

That's why there are so many accidents and dead people, they drive like saints, not.

They deserve nothing, she deserves everything.

His father owns the shop.

My car was 1 day old when a motorbike going the wrong way speeding  up Soi 6 put a dent & a large scratch on 2 door panels & the rear view mirror, so I can understand the frustration.

In saying that to chase the driver & bash into him was never an option.

If the BIB had always been enforcing the law this would not have happened as the motorbike drivers would be educated to maybe drive the correct way.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this sad encounter

[rocketboy2]

The bike rider wanted a confrontation, right or wrong.

He got one, and paid with his life for it.

crazy road rage stuff of Thailand.

RIP.

No one said anyone drives like saints!

But to state as a fact that many motorbikes hit cars and car mirrors and do not stop in Bangkok is not correct information.  

[PingRoundTheWorld]

Being on the losing end of a fight doesn't make you a victim if you're the one who started it. All of this wouldn't have happened if the bike driver wasn't aggressive and didn't break the car's mirror and try to flee. Sure, the car driver shouldn't have deliberately hit him - but it's unlikely he intended to kill him. This isn't murder, it's just stupid road rage gone wrong - which the so-called victim actually instigated.

 

Moral of the story: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. On both ends.

[jimmybcool]

I have driven very little in Thailand.  Usually have friends with cars to golf and in Pattaya I don't need a car.  Funny story is the FIRST time I drove in Thailand (scary for a yank driving on that side and that chaos) I am driving a rental down second road in Pattaya.  A car pulls out in front blocking my lane so I have to either swerve around him or stop until he moves.  So I stop not being in a hurry.  A few seconds later (enough time to see I'm stopped in broad daylight) a young thai guy on a motorbike rear ends me.   <deleted>kkkkk

 

I get out and look at bike, him and car.  I ask him he OK?  Car looks OK to me and I'm like OK no problem thinking I can drive away.  He pulls up next to drivers window and knocks on it.  I'm thinking he is trying to shake me down but when I roll down the window he reaches in the shake my hand and drives off.  I guess he appreciated the fact I didn't react in anger or make a big deal of it.

Losing face in public to a Thai is very embarrassing and losing all reasoning. 

Losing face can never be a free-ticket to kill somebody.  They should grow up and act like a adult instead as a pissed off child.
