Hit-and-text driver demands to complete community service at hospital of her choice
By Coconuts Bangkok


Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin Na Ayudhya was photographed texting after she crashed her car into a commuter van, killing nine people.

BANGKOK: -- The driver who killed 9 people in a car crash on Don Mueang tollway in 2010 when she was underage has demanded to complete her community service at a hospital of her choice because she fears for her safety.

Orachorn “Praewa” Thephasadin Na Ayudhya, now 22, visited the Probation Department yesterday and demanded to complete the rest of her community service at Phramongkutklao Hospital in Ratchathewi, which is not in her residential area, Probation Department Chief Narat Sawettanan.

"Her family chose Phramongkutklao Hospital because they are afraid Praewa would be attacked by the public,” Narat said.

One can only hope the community service involves manual labour: preferably scrubbing floors and cleaning toilets , activities that might teach her some humility.

[TheCruncher]

As if here wannabe attackers wouldn't find her in the hospital she choose.

Let's hope she gets attacked, as she deserves it.

Here's an idea; how about she works down in the sewers. No members of the public down there and very private.

[jerojero]

She is demanding this, is she really? Just another middle finger she's giving to the justice system.

[Just1Voice]

Kills nine people, and SHE'S making demands? Someone slap that <deleted> into next year!

[billphillips]

Send her to work in the bars of Pattaya. After a couple of years ... she may get to like it!

tooth brush should be the tool used

[torpedo1970]

Somebody need to slap her silly, oh, sorry she is already retarded.

Hi-So spoilt brat that think she is above the legal system.....

oh, again i forgot where i was...

TIT

[NextStationBangkok]

I don't know how many will Patience will die in Hospital. Better to chant mantras and clean some temples.

Every one making comments here should search the title na ayudhya ,before saying anything more.Itt will really open your eyes..

Surely you are joking? She will most likely be spending her time just sitting around socializing and playing on Facebook still

[WhizBang]

She should be concerned for her safety, especially given her past and present actions, but she has ZERO right to demand anything.

Toss her sorry ass in jail for not fulfilling her probation, and then double the sentence as penalty.

[55Jay]

This happened 6 years ago. Her 2 year sentence was suspended. 48 hours of probation/year x 4 years. 6 years later, she's only done 90 hours and is a defiant, entitled little twerp. Nice BMW she was driving, age 16, no driver's license (as if that means anything), top of the line mobile phone no doubt.

Parents paid lots of money to make this all go away. That also buys them the right to thumb their nose at the puny probation department run by lo-so's.

If ever an Army attitude adjustment was needed......

[inzman]

She will get her way. The rich and hiso are always treated with kid gloves. It is only lip service we read in the paper about them getting arrested. If the rich are charged, they always get suspended sentences or move to another country. Preferential treatment will not end here because it is so ingrained in the culture. This country will never enter the modern day.

Wel Prbkk...good intents....we all know that won't happen.....we all realise that any community service by this young lady will be non existent......her uncle's the lawyer...family has heaps of money....and the justice system is geared favourably towards the rich and connected.........in a nutshell, nothing will change and the victims families will continue to demand justice...which again, will never be served!

[Rhys]

Where ever she ends up ....they will be waiting on her....... justice is coming for her.. she knows it..

[cloudhopper]

Morgue cleanup.

[DavisH]

I'mm bet her family are chums with the hospital director....hence no community service would even been done. She was already mean't to have done the service. Perhaps a month in juvenile detention would sort her out. She'd have to watch her back if I was a family member of one of those victims...

And reportedly one of her close relatives is a high-ranking army doctor at the hospital (Phramongkutklao is run by the Army). Uncle will make sure that she won't have to get her hands dirty during her so-called community service. That's the only reason why she demands to serve there.

She must have some pretty bad advisers.

[clockman]

The patronage, and slander libel laws. Make Thailand the third world it is! Nothing will ever change till these are removed.

[MuuDaeng]

Couple of years ? ?

[SOTIRIOS]

....justice.....not......

[X pat]

If this had happened in America she would be in jail now,and for a loooooooooooooong time. This would be automobile homicide and with nine people dead she would that would be a (like I sead before) a very long time in the state prison.

Doubt it. The number of people killed isn't that relevant. The intent/negligence doesn't really change based on how many people were in the vehicle you crashed into. All the examples I can find of rich people sentenced to vehicular homicide got 1-2 years. And they were adults. A rich kid would get a stint in a juve center that was more like a resort. Or more likely they'd claim they had some addiction or other so end up in a 5 star treatment facility.

[ldiablo]

Well if someone wants to harm her they will definitely know where to find her now. To the families of the 9 victims she murdered.

You will find her at Phramongkutklao hospital in Ratchathewi.

And she shouldn't have an opportunity to finish her community service. She hasn completed it so should have her probation revoked and sent to prison.

[trogers]

She is so remorseful...

Appeal to the Court. A few years behind juvenile bars would be more appropriate, and not such bargaining here or there.

Family has heaps of money, good they may need it.... the families are asking for 120 million in compensation, could hurt daddies pocket book a little

Good for her. What good is having a powerful family in a currupt country if you can't do shady things like this?

Her name is nobel with relation to royalty. She can do whatever she wants.

It may be unfair, but that's life. This is what power can give you. May as well use it. Her punishment will not bring back the dead and there is no such thing as true justice here, especially not for people like her, so she may as well make a mockery of the system and do what powerful people do.

My view is in the minority, I know. But there is no sense in dreaming about a justice that will never happen.
