Thalang –

The Thalang Police was at the scene of a accident on April 3rd, 2025, as a foreign tourist drove a sedan vehicle that overturned near a Super Cheap store in Mai Khao. The vehicle collided with a local resident’s parked car, causing damage.

Eyewitness accounts indicate that the driver, a foreign woman, was accompanied by another foreign man.
