Speeding Thai kills 17-year old Lao girl in BBK
30th Mar, 2011 at 5:00am
 

lao-girl-killed-in-bangkok.jpg

Urai Inthilat, 35, points to the shattered windscreen of the Porsche which killed her teenage daughter.





Roads accidents are unfortunate when they happen, but rarely do they warrant the ear of the prime minister.

Yet an incident in Thailand involving the death of Kambai Inthilat, a 17-year-old girl from Laos who was visiting her aunt, might do just that.

Ordinary Thais were horrified by her fate. She was cut in half by a speeding Porsche while attempting to cross the road after having lunch at a noodle stall in Pathum Thani. Onlookers made the grisly discovery, the lower half of her body was found on the roadside, while the upper half was found 10 kilometres away. She had crashed through the windscreen and her torso was embedded in the front seat.

The Porsche was abandoned and her death elicited some unfortunate comments from the authorities, who implied that as the girl was from Laos, where they drive on the other side of the road, perhaps she just looked the wrong way, no need to arrest anyone really.

Thais were outraged. The accident dominated social networks and chat rooms, with the general interpretation being that a Porsche must be owned by someone rich and powerful, who the police would rather not upset.

Such are the growing divisions in Thai society these days, as demarcated by the intractable warring between the largely rural Red Shirts and the chattering classes who support the Yellow Shirts.These are divisions that were recently noted by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who will take his country into elections in June or July. He is apparently far from confident of victory, even saying recently that there were no guarantees he would be in office this time next year.

"Maybe you'll be wondering if I'll be here next year. I'm wondering too," Abhisit told members of the Foreign Correspondents Club, adding he hoped elections offered voters a choice between his leadership and a 'cycle of conflict and violence.'

It turns out the Porsche Cayman was driven by Peerapol Thaksinthaweesap, a 19-year-old university student who had borrowed the car from his father, Suppachai Thaksinthaweesap.

Suppachai told police 'the driver' would only surrender to police after he attends the Cheng Meng religious festival, where he would pay homage to his ancestors.

Looking thoroughly inappropriate in a black hood and sunglasses, Peerapol eventually admitted to police he was speeding, and he was charged with careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.

He was released into his family's custody and a police officer said the owner of the Porsche was trying to make an arrangement with the family in regards to compensation.

If the family succeeds quickly, then they might ensure that the family of Kambai Inthilat don't press charges and ensure Peerapol enjoys a much easier legal ride, the type of ride that ordinary Thais would and should never get for killing someone.


Cry

My prayers go out to the young lady's family.

It goes to show that with money, you can get away with anything in Thailand.

Kill someone on the roads in Laos and it's automatic jail time, regardless if you have money.

She died in an unpleasant way, so her spirit will be angry.

Her body will most likely be cremated quickly by her family, due to the nature of her death.

Parent and son are both to blame.

It's disturbing to know that the moron is free to attend a "religious festival" when a young girl's life has been taken away by his stupidity. Again, money talks, and wealth means power.

The Lao mother gave birth at quite a young age if she is 35, and daughter is 17.

THAT'S NOT TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT ADMIN! SAME $HIT IN LAOS.. THE ACCUSED DRIVER COMPENSATES THE FAMILY OF THE DEAD VICTIM.. I WAS IN LAOS IN 2007' LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER I RETURNED TO USA, A FRIEND OF MY NEPHEW WAS KILLED WHILE ON A SCOOTER. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR PAID HIS FAMILY A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THAT WAS IT!

NO AUTOMATIC JAIL TIME IN LAOS! MONEY TALKS IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES...

CAPITALS means you're shouting. I'm sure you can get your message across with lowercase letters. Smiley

Actually in Laos, if you kill someone as a result of your speeding, you must go to jail. You can reduce your jail term if you pay some compensation to the family and police.

If you just injured someone, this can be sorted out on the streets with the police and you can get away with it, but when death is involved there must be some jail time.

I don't know about your nephew's friends situation. Maybe the driver of the car wasn't entirely at fault, or the law has changed since 4 years ago.

Very sad. It's true money talk. In Asia if you kill somebody in auto accident most of the time you just compensated the victim. But this driver was at fault driving too fast. If your parent is rich and powerful you pretty much can get away with it with a good lawyer in any country.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE HOW THE SORRY-ASS LAOS GOVT GOING TO HANDLE THIS CASE..... BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT BOY IS GOING TO WALK FREE....
IF YOU RICH YOU WILL BE A KING IN THAILAND AND LAOS NO BS
IF YOU POOR YOU WILL BE A TRASH OR SLAVE TO THE RICH
THAT THE WAY IT GO

MOST OF THE RICH ARE LIVING ABOVE THE LAW IN LAOS AND THAILAND. I HAD SEEN IT ALL IN LIFE TIMES. I HAD BEEN WITNESS TO MANY MURDER CASES IN THAILAND AND LAOS; THE MURDERS ALWAY GOT AWAY WITH IT ALL THE TIMES.

THEY SAID " HE WENT ABOUT 120 KM/HR = 75 MI/HR" THERE IS NO WAY THIS SPEED CAN'T CUT THE PEOPLE TO HALF....AT LEAST HE MIGHT WENT PASSED 160 MI/HR = 256 KM/HR
THAT CAR CAN RUN TOP SPEED 200 MI/HR = 320 KM/HR

I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR MY POOR PEOPLE HAVE TO DEAL WITH RICH+CORRUPT PEOPLE LIVING IN THAILAND AND LAOS.

Welcome back "Want Laos To Be Independence", and please keep it to lower case on future postings.

Yes, the windscreen had a major damage and a part of her body went inside the car, so it's a very horrific accident. He even left the scene after the accident so obviously he couldn't care less.

In American sometime if you're rich and powerful you can get away too. But in this case there's no way. He'll be jail for a long time. He's going so fast that's why the victims was cut in half. Victims mother should has sue the driver for $1 million. Not 350,000 baht.

350,000 baht is around $12,000 US. It's a lot of money in Laos, but I don't think it's enough to compensate the loss of your children. He probably doesn't have $1 million though.

Road deaths in Thailand is nothing new, it happens every day in that country. This accident just happens to involve a Lao person so it made the news headlines and for some interesting reading.
