Friday the 13th was indeed not a lucky day for a Pattaya Motorbike Taxi Driver Khun Panupong aged 45 He was parked up at a taxi rank in Soi Yensabai in South Pattaya when he received a load shock, a transformer located above him exploded with a load boom. A piece of hot metal landed on his head.
He went straigh to hospital, it is not known if he drove himself or he had to hire a taxi to take him.
He received medical attention, seven stiches to his head, a hospital bill and no doubt a big headache. He returned to his post to see workers from the electric company fixing the transformed transformer. Not wishing to miss an opertunity to make money he enquired about receiving compensation for his injuries, medical bills, loss of earnings and paracetomol tablets. Workers told him to make a police report and take all his paperwork to the Electricity Authority Office to make a claim.
So as Khun Panupong makes his claim he wants the media to report on his terrible start to Friday the 13th and also to tell folks that they should never shy away from making a few bob out of the occasional boom.
