    • burinkan commented : It's now been several months since the Benz bus stop killer got a 10 year sentence. I haven't seen any news that he's actually served any jail time yet, though. Anybody know the status of this case? Is he free on bail, so he can kill again?

    • modsquad commented : Full March 5, 2013 Post article: The Appeals Court has reduced the prison sentence handed down to the son of a former Miss Thailand, who rammed his car into a crowded bus stop six years ago, killing one woman and injuring several other people. The Appeals Court rules the Mercedes-Benz bus stop killer mentally afflicted and reduces his prison sentence to only two years, but he's [b:31ki5bz6]still out on bail[/b:31ki5bz6]. Kanpitak Pachimsawat, 24, better known by his nickname "Mu Ham", was charged with premeditated murder, attempted murder and physical assault in connection with the July 4, 2007 incident. The defendant is the son of former Miss Thailand Sawinee Pakaranang and businessman Kan-anek Pachimsawat. He droved his Mercedes Benz sedan into a crowd waiting at a bus stop in Bangkok's Watthana district on July 4, 2007, killing one woman and grieviously injuring two other people, following a quarrel with the driver of a bus. The bus driver accused him of deliberately side-swiping his vehicle with his Mercedes-Benz car in heavy traffic. The case caused much public outrage. In 2009, the Phra Khanong provincial court sentenced Kanpitak to 10 years and a month in jail, rejecting the claim made by his family that he could not control himself as he suffered from mental problems. The court blamed Kanpitak's upbringing and said the parents had contributed to his bad conduct. The Appeals Court ruling was read out in the Phra Khanong provincial court on Tuesday. The judges ruled the defendant’s appeal to be “partially convincing”. The court said that during the act of committing murder, the defendant was being irresponsible and was unable to control himself because he had a mental illness. The court decided to reduce Kanpitak's jail term. It initially reduced the prison sentence to three years, and then further reduced it by a third to two years on the grounds that the defendant had paid compensation that satisfied the injured parties and family of the deceased, and that the plaintiffs did not want to file civil and criminal cases against him. The judges said the conclusion about the defendant's mental state while committing the crime had been drawn after they discussed the issue with Kanpitak’s physician and other medical experts including psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists and nurses. The meeting concluded the defendant was mentally ill and had suffered from seizures since he was a child. He suffered a bipolar disorder which affected his ability to control himself when he was angry. Therefore the defendant’s actions were involuntarily. As a result, the penalty on the premeditated murder conviction should be reduced, the court said. On the assault charge, Kanpitak was sentenced to one month in prison, suspended for two years. The court ordered him to report to probation officers and undergo psychiatric treatment for his mental impairment. After the accident, Kanpitak was released on bail after his family placed a [b:31ki5bz6]six milion baht [/b:31ki5bz6] (roughly $20,000 ) land title deed as security. His bail was continued on Tuesday. It was not reported whether or not his lawyer indicated they would further appeal the sentence to the Supreme Court. The Nation full article March 5th 2013 The Appeals Court yesterday sentenced a young driver from a wealthy family to two years' suspended jail term for crashing into a group of bus passengers and killing one of them. The Phra Khanong Provincial Court found that Kanpitak Patchimsawat, 25, had a mental problem that reduced his ability to control himself while under stress. It was found that the victim was killed while the defendant could not control himself. He was initially sentenced to three years in jail, but the court later reduced the jail term to two years and one month. The court decided to suspend the penalty for two years and required the defendant to report to probation officials every three months over that period. The defendant also was asked to have his mental problem treated. Kanpitak, who is also known by his nickname of Moo Ham, made the headlines in 2007 when he was involved in a high-profile case of road accident. He is son of businessman Kan-anek and former beauty queen Savinee. Sucheera Insuwan, daughter of the dead victim, said she would consult with lawyer whether to bring the case to the Supreme Court. She said the Appeals Court verdict would serve as an interesting case study. In the night of July 4, 2007, the Mercedes Benz car driven by Kanpitak was involved in a road accident with a public bus driven by Sataporn Arunsiri. After the accident, Kanpitak hit the bus driver's forehead with a stone. The defendant later ploughed his car onto a pavement, crashing into many people at the nearby bus-stop. As a result, a woman named Saichon Luangsang was killed and seven others were injured. When confronted by onlookers at the scene, Kanpitak appeared to have convulsions. During the trial by a lower court, Kanpitak admitted to the charge of physically assaulting the bus driver but he rejected the charge of manslaughter and attempted murder. In January 2009, the lower court sentenced the defendant to 10 years and a month in jail after finding him guilty of manslaughter and attempted murder. The term was reduced by two-third from the original penalty on grounds that the defendant had provided compensation to the victims and their families and that he had a mental problem. March 6, 2013 Meanwhile: Police have forwarded the case against Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya, charging him with reckless driving causing death, and fleeing the scene of an accident on Sept 3, 2012. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/3 ... rosecutors

    Taxis at airport

    By Anonymous, Created on: 03/10/2006, Last updated on: 20/03/2010

    » I/ am a frequent business/holiday traveller all over the world. In the 30 years that I have flown everywhere, I have yet to land in an airport where I could not board a taxi straight after customs clearance and straight to my hotel.Well, the impossible has happened here at the brand-new state-of...

    • Anonymous commented : Oh. Yes, AD. There are not enough seats in the arrival and departure areas. I am thinking whether it is a security reason. AD, there are at least 4 to 5 tiers of taxi and limousine services. Yes, it will cost 1,500 baht to price on the meter. For the 1,500 baht, you will get something close to Mercedes-Benz or some European models of limousine. I have used 800 baht for Japanese model of limousine to 600 baht for private yellow/green taxi to anywhere in the main Bangkok area. I think it is a fair price. It is depending on the comfort and luxury that you want. According to AOT, taxi older than 5 years old is not allowed into the SUV. But any taxis from anywhere could take their customers to the SUV. When you are going to take metered taxi at the arrival area at the lowest level, you will depend on the queue and availability of the metered taxis. If you have large luggages, you will need the newest model with larger trunk space since these taxis have LG/NGV tanks in their trunks. I think they need to also have van taxi service for family or group with lot of luggages.
