Jiu-Jitsu Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Something wrong with that story. First it suggests that they collided with a motorcycle and side-car and then that they were the ones who were using the motorcycle and side-car. They certainly aren't dressed for 'collecting recycled items at the beach'. Very poorly written article.

Have to agree… There’s “always” something wrong with Pattaya One’s “stories” However if your read the article 3 or more times you should be able to conclude that the foreigner, “farang” and his wife, where driving the wrong way (opposite traffic), and collided with the refuse collecting vehicle.

That is what one would have concluded, but how can he both be Khun Alan and an "unnamed foreigner"? Unless the 'recyclable items collectors' happened to be a foreign man and his Thai wife too....or the Thai refuse collector is calling himself Alan or...

I'd say, from reading this article a few times, that Khun Alan is a local. Not a common Thai name, but if that isn't the name of a local man, then the whole story falls apart. And then, that wouldn't be news worthy would it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see too many people speeding the wrong way down the beach road. Who knows....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
