A tipsy escapade in Bangkok saw a Thai driver impersonate a foreigner in a desperate bid to dodge accountability after slamming into not one, but two cars. The bizarre episode unfolded on April 24 in Soi Mahad Thai, Ramkhamhaeng, a lively Bangkok locale.

 

TikTok videos unveiled a dramatic scene where the driver was confirmed Thai, yet bafflingly insisted on speaking English throughout the ordeal.

 

Witnesses caught the fracas on film, including a determined Thai biker hunting the driver's white hatchback post the first hit-and-run incident. The footage paints a chaotic picture: the car's damaged mirror dangling and a visibly wrecked front wheel.

 

 

 

Ignoring cries to halt, the driver pressed on, zigzagging against traffic before botching a getaway into a convenience store's parking lot and hitting another parked car.

 

The site of the second crash became a showdown. Cornered by the biker and other onlookers, the driver clung to the foreigner façade.

A local Grab driver attempted dialogue, yet was snubbed with, “You look bad. You don’t speak English,” as caught on the TikTok handle @phoom_thanasak. Evident intoxication marked her face, speech slurred and footing unsure.

 

Channel 7 clarified the incident arose on April 23, with Wang Thonglang's police later uncovering alcohoic evidence within the woman's vehicle.

 

While her sentence remains veiled, she reportedly risks a year behind bars, a monetary fine between 5,000 to 20,000 baht (THB), or both, under Section 43(2) of the Road Traffic Act concerning intoxicated driving.

 

Furthermore, authorities may suspend or outright void her driving licence. Temporary vehicle seizure adds to her immediate predicaments. As the legal process continues, the case highlights the severe repercussions and legal stakes of mixing alcohol with driving on Bangkok's bustling streets.

Who's wife is this, come on, own up.

Could it be both  

Where do I get a foreigner card from ?

Actually, I sympathize with her strategy. My spoken Thai improves at least 400% after a few too many.

I got mine at Kao San Road.  Australian, though I've never been there.

I suspect that being married to him would make most girls turn to drink.

Hope he's got plenty to fix this one, drivers license should be suspended automatically for DI

Maybe she really is English and only wanted to demonstrate her Englishness with her drunken antics.

Probably on her way to buy more booze I bet !

Not mine, yellow is not my preference

In Princess Caraboo  it worked.

I always do the same: I play the Thai card, but nobody believes me

This just seems like another overly entitled pissant trying to play the "I've never taken responsibility for anything in my life" game. It would be nice once in awhile to see someone owning up to their actions, but chances are when that happens it never makes it into the media. I think a year in the slammer is appropriate, and would likely change her attitude quite a bit, considering the amount of havoc that she's caused. 

"You rook bad!" "you don speak engrish!"
