rooster59 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Video: Chiang Mai beauty red faced but not shocked after her new car rolls into the moat Manager reported that a Chiang Mai beauty was embarrassed but not shocked after her brand new car rolled into the moat yesterday.Thirty eight year old Norarat Uplabat, the owner of Nails and Brows by Ying in the central city, was visiting Computer City on Manee Nopparat Road to take back some faulty equipment.She left the brake off her Suzuki Swift that she bought three months ago because the car park was full and she had to double park.But just moments after she carried out her computer someone shouted that her vehicle was moving.Unable to do anything but watch, the car rolled over the road and into the moat bonnet first with the back wheels getting stuck on the concrete edge.Fortunately no one was hurt and there was no accident caused.Norarat said there was nothing to be done but call the insurance company.She took the incident with good humor and kept a smile on her face telling reporters that she was not shocked but was more than a little embarrassed with all the people watching.

sanemax Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The "Thai smile" has become quite an irritant to me When some people do something wrong and they just smile Like, ha ha ha , my cars just rolled into the moat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqwakvfr Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I was on my to Rock Me Burger at 400 PM and the vehicle was still in the Moat. A tow truck was there. I was on my way back at 730PM and the vehicle was still in the moat but this time a crane had arrived. A guy was diving into the brown water and was trying to hook the cable onto the front of the of the car. I am not expert on vehicle recoveries but would not have been a better idea to pull the vehicle from the back? But then I realized "TIT" This is Thailand.

idman Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yes to be sure beauty IS in the eye of beholder but I would have to be blind to think she is a beauty as described. Average looking with that typical gioconda smile that Thais have perfected.Sent from my SM-T805 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Good going!At least she did not blame it on some one else. She admitted it was her fault,nothing about losing face here. We need more of this in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya28 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Double Parking. Why not ? Who would mind some "random" shuffling my new car ? And she found it hilarious !! Could so easily have caused a major accident as it crossed the road. More Thainess in all its' glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people do something wrong , IMO , its better that they understand what they did wrong and try not to do it again, rather than just smiling about it and doing exactly the same thing again later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the tow truck guys had only ever seen cars towed from the front - therefore no other way to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Well, at least she had the good manners to leave the handbrake off whilst double parking - not all do. But, as they say - No good deed goes unpunished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti24 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 "She left the brake off her Suzuki Swift that she bought three months ago because the car park was full and she had to double park."
