The boy had been fading fast.

 

Phaiboon said that he had left a door open after washing the pick-up and naughty little Orm had climbed in and started playing in the driver's seat. He reckoned he must have pressed the central door lock and imprisoned himself in the vehicle.

Interesting looking at the phone, I recall hearing that some one got a car door open by using a spare key,   ...over the phone.

Phiaw Yiang Thai rescue foundation , are a God send to Thailand. They save so many lives.

Didn't he have fob with his keys to unlock the doors? 

 

 

Twenty minutes of what.. trying to protect his truck
I think twenty seconds would have been too long,  break the glass without a second wasted would have been better.
I think hero grand dad was thinking more about precious truck then his precious grandson, only when he couldn't open the door after repeated attempts did he resort to breakage!!

The little boy on the picture is undoutably more more than one year old!

You farang do not underestand, in Thailand a car is more important than a toddler.

Kids are cheap to replace, cars are not.

Do I understand this correctly......Grandpa smashes a car window to get his grandson out. Wow....that must be the news of the century???

Where was the key?
Where was the spare key?
If the key was in the ignition this guy is only lucky his little boy didn´t drove to Big C to buy toys.

The rescue service needs a couple of ex car thieves on their staff for covering situations like this. Autoclub in Aussie would have it open in 3secs.

Yes,  Timpsons (UK) amongst other things (so called) locksmiths claim to recruit over 10% ex cons

Nearly as good as Gerald Ratner's "THE SPEECH THAT COST NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS"

Glad the baby is ok

This question was on my mind but I guess they were swinging below the steering wheel.

Yes, but he decided to break the window instead.  Obviously he didn't.

Maybe 20 minutes of trying to avoid showering his grandson with shattered glass shards came into his decision also.

How is that relevant to his rescue?

Common sense prevailed - for once!
