At press time, it is
unknown who owned this little red Ford Aspire, but luckily no one was
inside this when bricks fell on it from above. Ubon Kaewkoon’s damaged
pickup is behind the fallen canopy in the background.

Looking at his damaged pickup, Ubon Kaewkoon could at least take
solace in the fact be wasn’t in it when the building he parked in front
of collapsed.
Storm-driven winds caused bricks from the third floor of the commercial
building on Soi Huay Yai to fall to the ground, damaging his Ford Ranger
pickup. He was also lucky the damage wasn’t worse, as a nearby Ford
Aspire was demolished by fallen debris.
The 35-year-old mattress salesman had been inside, checking out the
building with a thought of renting it to open a mattress shop. Then he
heard a loud noise, and then a crash, and thoughts of rental contracts
turned to car insurance.
Panjamaporn Sinsukborirak, 54, was in her pharmacy, which is located in
the building as well. She said it was likely the storm that caused the
bricks to fall. She said she was simply thankful no one was injured.
