Soldiers and reporters on Wednesday night inspect the scene of an alleged heist in Phato district of Ranong province.

 

RANONG — Prasong Hun-ngam was behind the wheel of his truck, driving a full load of frozen shrimp along a jungle road from the gulf to the Andaman Sea on Wednesday night when some men waved at him from beside a stopped car.

 

Thinking their vehicle had broken down, 56-year-old Prasong was about to stop when he realized one of them was waving something – and that something was a handgun.

EU to ban Thai shrimp imports due to concerns of high lead content... 

I doubt his bravery was to save his cargo. More likely to save himself from being silenced in that robbery...

Saved his life and the money to feed his family

 

And pay his bills...Good for him!!

So there's a good couple of million baht on a truck.if they had got away with it the police would only have to look for Thai men that were flamingo pink.

Either way, both were saved. So what's your point?

The point is that the title of this post is slurred towards self-sacrifice for his frozen shrimps...

He was being very shellfish.

What a shame he didn't swerve sufficiently to flatten them.  Country road, possibly no witnesses, low chance of detection, and the kicker........some low lifes despatched.  Win win!!
