The body of a Thai woman, identified as Miss Sucha-sinee Sao-chai, aged 30 was devastated by this accident, with injuries to her face and all around her body. A white Yamaha Mio motorcycle was found on the road, wrecked in the front, and there were 2 injured persons reported as well, Mr. Atiwat Pimpa, aged 32, the motorcycle driver who received minor injuries and Mr. Jagree Sawatsaloong, aged 35, whose right leg was broken. Both were dispatched to Pattaya Memorial Hospital.

The other party to the incident was an Iranian tourist Mr. Hamed Madan Nezhad, aged 32, the driver of the white Mazda 2 car that crashed into the motorcycle of the 3 Thais. Hamed and his friend were waiting to make their statement with police.

The story reported by Atiwat was that the 3 Thais were heading home from Balihai Pier, and were about to drive over the Balihai Flyover Bridge, while the car driven by Hamed was motoring towards Balihai Pier on the opposite lane. Mr. Hamed then overtook a vehicle in front of him, but was unable to return to the correct lane in time. So the Mazda 2 car ran straight into the motorcycle and its 3 passengers, causing Atiwat to careen over the car, while his girlfriend and male friend slammed into the car and the road, causing his girlfriend’s instant death.

Further investigations started with questioning Hamed at the Pattaya Police Station, and will continue when the injured can make full statements. The body of Miss Suchasinee was sent to Banglamung Hospital, and awaits the family for a religious funeral.

Indonesian Tourist Lost in Ripley's Believe It Or Not - Pattaya People

Right after midnight on Wednesday, the Pattaya Police was called for assistance with an unusual situation. A tourist had somehow gotten lost, then trapped, in one of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not amusements.
At the scene, the police ordered the Amusement Zone of the mall to open, to locate the lost tourist. He was believed to be in the zone of the Haunted House, 3 D Theatre, or the Mirror Room.
After an hour, the police found the Indonesian tourist in the Mirror Room. The poor fellow was safe but very exhausted after being trapped for a few hours. He stated that he was observing the Ramadan Fasting Period, which meant that he had not been eating much for 6 days. The fasting had made him very weak and he fainted in the Mirror Room. When he woke up, everything was dark and the doors were locked from the outside. Fortunately, he managed to call one of his tour mates to inform the police, who finally saved him.
