On Sunday evening, an arm broke off the Octopus fairground ride during a temple fair in Samut Prakan. Two trays of carnival goers fell to the ground, 15 people were injured. The injured have been taken to Memorial Samut Prakan Hospital and Muang Samut Prakan Hospital.

The owner of the fairground attraction has been arrested and is being questioned by the police. Officials will examine the attraction's hydraulic system.

Fortunately, the injuries were minor, most complaining of ankle sprains and bruises. One person has a broken ankle.

    Hey K Roland,

    What an ugly word you said there.
    Maintenance.

    And let's be honest.
    House is being built, nice color and after a while it looks like it's been demolished.
    when we took a shortcut to Pattaya tai, we suddenly saw a building with condos in a new fresh color.
    Just stands out.
    But whether it be the railways, military air traffic and yes also Thai airliners and what about boats.
    Built once and the Thai expects it to last for 100 years.
    Not a penny is really spent on it.

    What about the bus driver, who went under the bus himself (literally and figuratively) to look at his brakes.

    No, everything with your own transport, only if there is no other option, such as flying for example.
