Fallen Tree Narrowly Misses Prayuth's Car

By Khaosod Eng.

BANGKOK — The Prime Minister of Thailand narrowly escaped injury after a tree fell on his motorcade in Bangkok today, injuring two of his bodyguards.

Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, who is also the chairman of Thailand’s military junta, was leaving a public event at the Bangkok Planetarium on Petchburi Road at around 10 am when the tree fell on his motorcade.

Two police bodyguards on a motorcycle were injured and immediately sent to hospital.

A counter coup tree?

More evidence, as if it were needed, of the black magic plot against the General.

A counter coup tree?

Coup dead ants?

Trees don't just fall for no reason. Maybe strong winds in Bangkok today, no I doubt it. Must have been a Redwood Tree.

So even karma misses the target sometimes!!

What a shame.

raising the hair of my neck. 6 weeks ago a couple was killed on a campsite when a tree fell onto their tent. 4 weeks ago a tree fell onto our car, missing my wife by 1 meter, smashing through the windshield. . 2 weeks later, a big tree outside a village nearby fell onto a pickup with passengers, killing two (!!) and injuring 5.

and now this !

What's the matter with Thailand's trees ?? Is there a conspiracy in the making ?

Ban the trees.... and everyone who loves nature

A troll post has been removed as well as the replies.

The tree will be re-educated in chopsticks.

We need a Tree crackdown.

I miss the photo where the PM pointing the fallen tree.

In southern Isaan we have very strong vind´s today, so could Bangkok.

I guess the culprit will be sent for treeducaton!

Logically, a whirlwind tour of 50 temples should remedy Prayuth's poor karma, and get him back on track. Sacrificing a couple of goats may also be of some help.

Well if that ain't a sign! haha.

How can a fallen tree miss anything? Its mission in life is to be a fallen tree. I suppose it might miss parties and birthdays, even cavalcades.

"Fallen Tree Narrowly Misses Prayuth's Car..."

I believe Karma needs to get an eye exam and some new eye glasses. Its aim ain't what it used to be.

Untouchable!!

Next a crackdown on Trees.

Good to see he still has an avid fan club on TVF, although their weird sense of humor is a bit hard to understand at times..................

Isn't the (boldly named) Planetarium on Sukumvit road near Ekamai, not Petchaburi?

Easy mistake to make. No reason to go. It is a useless space with insipid video. You can go and learn absolutely nothing about planets, the solar system, or astronomy, but see a lot of cartoons.

Hub of falling trees - didn't you know?

Looks like Ents have finally decided to march against Saruman and Isengard..

Must be his rings that saved him

A speedy crovery for those who got hurt.

Ummm.... coo! "Dead Ants" is the spoof words for Pink Panther theme song.

Just possible that the tree was branching out?

Maybe the tree had learned about sharing Thainess with other people?

Perhaps, even, the tree was endeavouring to bring Happiness to the People?

Did it leave its mark?

Was the tree into Retro 70's Flower Power?

Heard it said that its bark was worse than its bite!

"Oh, the mighty oak has fallen!"

Did the PM order an investigation into the root cause?

Were they filming an advert for "There all nuts in there, anyway"?

Just thought I should share my acorns with you all :-)

Yup, strong winds on the Bkk - Chonburi motorway this morning so not much of stretch to consider that parts of Bangkok were affected as well. I was driving back to Pattaya from the airport and a few times the vehicles, big and small, were being buffeted about.

That doesn't fit the agenda of some posters though

the black magic strikes back

Blame Thaksin.

I was wondering why today many trees around city were being cut or trimmed.

I guess thats the reason
