Reigntax Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 All those TV contributors who have sent money to cover the medical expenses of sick buffalos are clearly to blame for this accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiwrath Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 “We will investigate the facts of the incident further and speak with the owner of the buffaloes,” said Capt Ekkachak. Not sure he's going to know much about it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The usual crass comments above I see. What gets me is that they waited until the morning to move a suffering animal. The poor beast should have been put out of its misery immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 "Mr Apiwat Noowanna, 25 years old, breathing mildly. Rescuers performed CPR, however, he died upon arrival at Thalang Hospital. Mr Apiwat suffered a broken neck and wounds throughout his body, police reported" One has to hope the rescuers were cognizant of the patient's broken neck before they commenced CPR.

No, the new trend amongst Thai first responders is that anyone who cannot run away gets CPR whether they need it or not. It has got completely out of control.

Somtamnication Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 After reading this, I had to get my tired old legs off my comfy chair, and ask my wife if her mother was pregnant and did she go out on for a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Back in the mid 80s, I had to slam my car brakes to stop before hitting a grey cow lying in the heat of the road after 10pm. This was a rural road leading to Malacca town. Fortunately, I had my high beams turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends who have hit cows on their motorbikes in Australia.The cows always win. I have hit kangaroos twice and one friend even hit a camel.

Is it the grey cow, or something about Malacca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
