PHUKET: -- It took more than seven hours for the owner of a pickup truck to have his vehicle removed from Bang Tao Beach yesterday (Jan 22) after it got stuck in the sand due to rising tides.

 

The man, 32-year-old Mr Supot Mothina, told police he had parked the pickup truck on the beach so he and his friends could listen to loud music while they got drunk.

 

At 8am yesterday, Lt Naraupon Kaewlay of the Cherng Talay Police was informed by Mr Supot that his pickup truck had got stuck in the sand on in front of the Laguna Hotel on Bang Tao Beach.

 

Police arrived at the scene with Kosoldham rescue workers to find a black Izusu pickup with both rear wheels dug into the sand.

DRUNK in charge of a vehicle. SUNK WHILE DRUNK.

That'll be a rust bucket in a year.....or less.

brilliant news, so his aim was to get drunk and obviously drive off afterwards, and probably cause some grief to an innocent person, love it.

'The tide is high' by Blondie ?

Stuck in the sand due to rising tides? Tides can drive?

Hahahahahaha. Serves the inconsiderate ***** right.   'at 3am yesterday morning, he and three friends were drinking on the beach, they thought that it was too quiet so moved the pickup onto the beach so they could blast their music out'.

Seven hours....? No front end loaders nearby with a cable...? Or maybe a wrecker or a flat bed....?

Thank you, tide.
