Leaving just before midnight, 2am would be morning.
Possibly.

journalists will write any nonsense without even common sense checking of facts. more quality thai journalism

I wondered why they took detour to Sara Buri, Sara Buri would be faster to CM... Also they would never reach CM daytime if they were still at Sara Buri in the morning. RIP to the poor woman.

Dear God..a woman has died and we are discussing what time they left and what route they could have taken.

 

Someone has lost a wife and daughter and possibly a mother.

 

Nearly cleaned up a couple on a bike this way a couple of days ago. 

 

No rear lights, no reflectors, just came out of the dark - I locked up & missed them, but shouted 'mai me fai dang' as I passed which I hope sounds something like 'no red lights'

 

So bloody common. Are there any 'pleece' (pardon the 'put BBC')  ;-)  here?
