webfact Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Rude awakening as pick-up driver takes a nap and slips into the sea! Picture: Sanook SONGKHLA: -- A pick-up driver in Songkhla woke with a start yesterday when his vehicle rolled into the sea. Driver Wisitphon, aged about 40, had been preparing to drag a boat out of the sea on a beach at Simila Cape in the southern Thai province. "I was on my way home," said Wisitphon, "but unfortunately I forgot to put the handbrake on and had a nap". The engine was off but the next thing he knew the pick-up was being gobbled up by the encroaching waves after rolling into the sea. Fortunately help was on hand and both driver and vehicle were saved from too much damage, reported sanook.com.

A couple of my friends had this level of fresh water in their cars during one of the Pattaya floods, both were written off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats56 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 What's with these guys falling asleep. Man go to to bed earlier or maybe there was too much food that made them sleepy. Do as Spain..Mexico does and have a siesta after you eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
