A black Ford pickup truck plowed into multiple parked vehicles along Pattaya Third Road in the early hours of Thursday, April 17, leaving a trail of destruction—and an intoxicated Chinese driver struggling to stay conscious behind the wheel.

Drunken Driver Plows Into Songkran Crowd in Chachoengsao, Leaving Over 12 Injured

Police arrived to find the truck’s engine still running, its driver—later identified as 32-year-old Mr. Wang—passed out inside. Two high-end Honda X-ADV motorcycles and a blue Honda Civic sedan lay damaged nearby, their owners nowhere in sight. But the situation took a bizarre turn when Wang suddenly woke up, attempted to flee, and instead rammed his own vehicle again, rendering it immobile.

Stumbling out of the truck, the visibly drunk man vomited twice—first near the wreckage, then again after returning to his seat. Officers struggled to communicate with the incoherent driver, who failed to provide any meaningful response.

Despite attempts to contact his relatives, authorities were forced to take Wang into custody for a breathalyzer test. The incident highlights Pattaya’s ongoing struggle with drunk driving, particularly among foreign tourists. Police confirmed legal action is underway as they assess the full extent of the damages.
