Popular Thai comedian Thongthong Mokjok (real name: Khatchathep Iamsiri), 54, was involved in a road crash in the early hours of morning of 22 July, when his vehicle collided with a motorcycle at a junction in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, leaving the 19-year-old rider critically injured.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 00:40 at the Sataranasuk T-junction on U-Thong Road in Hor Rattanachai subdistrict. Police and emergency services from Ayutthaya Ruamjai Association were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a collision.

 

At the scene, police found a black Ford Everest SUV with a damaged driver’s side and deployed airbags. Nearby was a damaged Suzuki motorcycle registered in Lopburi. The rider, identified as Mr. Phutthiphon, 19, was found with multiple injuries, including a broken jaw, fractured leg and heavy bleeding. Emergency personnel provided first aid before transferring him to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital for urgent treatment.

 

Thongthong, who was driving the SUV, appeared deeply shocked by the incident and reportedly fainted after seeing the motorcyclist’s injuries. He explained that he had travelled from Bangkok earlier in the evening to deliver meatballs as a treat for schoolchildren at Chomsurang Upatham School, where a student folk band was preparing for a competition. While returning, he experienced sudden stomach pain and drove off in search of a restroom.

 

As he approached the junction, Thongthong said he signalled to turn right and believed the approaching motorcycle was still at a safe distance. However, as he made the turn, the motorcycle crashed into his vehicle at high speed. He attempted to exit the car to help, but the driver’s side door was jammed, forcing him to climb out the other side.

 

Police conducted an alcohol test on Thongthong at the scene, confirming a reading of 0%.

 

Officers have recorded Thongthong’s statement and are awaiting the recovery of the injured motorcyclist to complete further inquiries. CCTV footage from the area will be reviewed to determine the exact cause of the accident.

 

Thongthong Mokjok, known for his longstanding comedic career, has recently focused on his meatball brand and has been active in volunteer work. The incident occurred while en route from a charitable event.

Totally normal situation, but he should have expected the motorcycle would speed up after he pulled out, that's normal behavior here.
