Man Burns House After His Mother Refuses To Cook For Him


Mr. Paopan Pankampuang (seated)

CHIANG RAI -- A man in Chiang Rai province confessed to burning his house down out of anger that his mother, who was living with him, refused to cook dinner for him.

Last night, firemen were called to a wooden in Muang district which was completely on fire when the rescue team arrived. The firemen took 30 minutes to extinguish the flame. Property losses were estimated to cost at least 500,000 baht.

Mr. Paopan Pankampuang was arrested this morning following reports that he committed the arson. Mr. Paopan told police he was living at the residence with his mother Ms. Supan Wicharew, 57, and his 7 year old son.

He said the incident took place after a long day of works in the rice field, during which he had consumed some alcohol. When he returned home, he said, his mother did not cook dinner for him. He reportedly became very angry out of his anger and alcohol influence, scolding his mother and driving her away from the house.

Mr. Paopan told police he later bought a bottle of gasoline and burn his house, starting from a wardrobe. He said he picked up his son and fled the scene, before the police finally caught up with him.

It's hard to tell who the culprit is in the picture. They all look a bit mentally unhinged and/or inebriated.

Why is nobody pointing at anybody?

Now through the medium of boozed up emotions and what he sees as a requirement of his mother, he has placed more hardship on the family and others who will have to take them in. Pretty tragic in ways.

[villagefarang]

The kind of man only a mother could love…then again

[Alwyn]

seems like a legit reason to me

[AhFarangJa]

Reminds me of the news story a few years ago about the pakistani man who climbed a tree and set light to himself to teach his wife a lesson as she was having an affair with his friend

candidate for the Darwin awards me thinks..

[bangarang]

Lol... why not just go out? Geez! It will be a lot cheaper than paying to rebuild a house.

[Andre0720]

That may require numerous 'Wai's" throughout his explanations of the event...

@ Wavefloater - Exactly what I thought. At first I thought it was the creepy guy in the blue demim shirt, then I thought it was the short fat one in uniform. Then I spotted the clown wearIng the Urban Legend T-shirt, he looks like he would burn a house down for little reason.

Eating out in the middle of nowhere ??? i think you didn't read well.... came home from a day work in the rice field... so i dont think there is any Tesco Lotus or 7 Eleven around where he can eat, or even a street vendor as in my opinion it's somewhere in the bush bush in Chiang Rai....

Probably this bloke even doesn't have any money to buy food as the few baht they have are spent on.... yes booze !

[mikemac]

Don't see too many drunk rice farmers in the Tesco Lotus or 7 Elevens around dinner time !

A story with a romantic twist (cops are holding hands).

[Doc46]

That is a tad silly Now she got no place to cook for him at all

Must have been one hell of a nice house out in the woods.

[Payboy]

Property losses were estimated to cost at least 500,000 baht.

Peanuts considering his new Ferrari from the rice-pledging scheme cost him 20 times that.

[tingtongteesood]

Shame he didn't burn himself down, world would be a better place without idiots like that...

could have done a slice of toast on his way out

[stoneyboy]

Good man,I hope his mother has learnt her lesson.

[unanimosity]

Will the police rebuild the house so he can reenact the crime?

They're permitted to carry guns.

Best post ever.

[Secondmouse]

"Hey Ma......come 'an read this 'bout a bloke in Chiang Rai burnt his own 'ouse down.....'an how much longer is that kin steak gonna be..?....

[deecee10]

Did he get the tee shirt before or after he set his home ablaze?

[mikemac]

Perhaps it was an accident, just trying to cook his own dinner full of liquor !

[Neeeko]

Makes perfect sense...

[belg]

500.000 baht for a wooden shack ?

[heybruce]

Anyone who gets that stupid when they drink should not drink.
