A shocking incident occurred in Pathum Thani, where a 25-year-old Thai tomboy named Thipchanok was hospitalised after a violent encounter with a sedan driver. On Saturday, April 3, Thipchanok was ambushed after a man crashed his car into her motorcycle and physically attacked her before fleeing the scene.

The incident took place in the early hours, between 3am and 4am, and left Thipchanok with severe injuries, including a torn leg tendon and multiple bruises. Currently receiving treatment at Bangpakok Hospital 2, she turned to her university's Facebook group for assistance, hoping to gather evidence or eyewitness accounts that could lead to the assailant's identification.

In her appeal, Thipchanok included a picture of the car's registration plate, กษ 4013, inviting anyone familiar with the tag to come forward. Lacking any visual evidence of the attacker himself has complicated efforts to pinpoint his identity.

Sharing her story on the news programme Hone Krasae, Thipchanok recounted the events leading up to the attack. She was en route to meet her girlfriend when the driver's aggressive manoeuvres prompted her to shout obscenities—a reaction that allegedly provoked the subsequent chase and collision. After knocking her down, the driver exited his car and repeatedly kicked Thipchanok, only retreating when local residents approached the scene due to the commotion.

Despite reporting the case to Khlong Ha Police Station, Thipchanok remains without a case update, intensifying her pursuit of justice. Her experience highlights issues of road safety and violence, drawing attention to the vulnerability of motorcyclists against vehicular aggression.

As Thipchanok recovers from her physical injuries, she remains determined to find justice and encourages anyone with information to assist in identifying the perpetrator, hoping to prevent such incidents from happening again.
