Horrible Video

 

The teenage driver of a Porsche involved in the death of a 17-year-old Lao girl has apologised and agreed to pay 350,000 baht aid money to the victim's family.

 

Peerapol Thaksinthaweesap, 19, a first-year Rangsit University student, yesterday attended the funeral of Kambai Inthilat at Sai Noi Temple in Nonthaburi province.

 

Kambai was crossing the Pathum Thani-Bang Bua Thong Road last Friday afternoon when a Porsche driven by Mr Peerapol slammed into her, cutting her body in half with her torso coming to rest on the seat beside the driver.

 

The white Porsche Cayman belongs to his father, Suppachai Thaksinthaweesap.

 

"I really didn't want the accident to occur," Mr Peerapol told the dead girl's mother, Ulai Borchue, 35, a Lao national, as he gave her a deep wai as a gesture of apology.

 

Mrs Ulai replied: "I forgive you. Don't worry."

 

Both broke into tears as they hugged each other.

 

Mr Peerapol surrendered to Pathum Thani police on Sunday to face reckless driving and hit-and-run charges.

 

Mr Peerapol has paid 300,000 baht aid money to Mrs Ulai and another 50,000 baht to cover funeral expenses.

 

An insurance company will also pay 200,000-baht compensation to the victim's family.

 

Saddened by the death of her teenage daughter, Mrs Ulai said she won't let her children come to a big city in Thailand anymore.

 

Mrs Ulai has four children. Kambai was her second child.

 

"Kambai was a first-year student at her secondary school in Vientiane. She was a smart student and also a school athlete," the mother said.

 

She had always hoped that Kambai could grow up to help her run the family.

 

Mrs Ulai is the breadwinner of her family.

 

Her husband, a former construction worker, was left disabled after a heavy metal bar fell on his leg.

So the going rate for a life in thailand is a cool $10k.....

 

If he was at fault, why wasn't there some police charges put against him?

 

strange.

In Thai Law it appears that the police often rely on the Victims or victims family to hire a lawyer to prepare charges to put against the accused. If a substantial offer of compensation is made then it is unlikely these charges will be made. I guess the thinking is that putting him in jail will not bring their daughter back...makes a certain sense when the family has limited income.

 

I think that if the driver was evil the cops might have acted but under the circumstances they left it to the family....

 

What would you do if your family was hungry...mindless revenge or some food?

Terrible accident and video. Again one cretin whch think when he has porsche car is champion on the world. We have same arsehole in my country. They are sons from influential businessman. They think can make everything when have money ! 350 K is nothing for human life. I am sorry for family. It have to be terrible feeling for them.

This shit happens often in Thailand. I was watching an ABC show about China the other day and the same thing there, rich kids in fast cars not giving a fuck about other people.

damn, I really should not have clicked on that video. To say that it was sad, would be a HUGE understatement.

Ffffffff. Wish I didn't watch that. I didn't even know what I was watching until a little later.

 

Maybe put a bit more of a disclaimer on that link.

 

Far out.

"Horrible video" should be warning enough, methinks.
