Father Jumps In Front of Car to Protect Children at Market
A father jumped in front of a speeding car at Samut Songkhram's Romhub Market on July 22 to shield his children from being hit after the driver ignored the crossing and honked aggressively.
On July 22, content creators Khai Ratchanan and Haru and their children visited Romhub Market in Samut Songkhram, but a harrowing near-accident unfolded as the family prepared to cross the street. While traffic normally stops for pedestrians, one vehicle came speeding toward the crossing at the exact moment the family—including the children—stepped into the road. The driver neither braked nor slowed, instead honking aggressively, forcing Khai to jump directly in front of the car to block its path and protect the children from being hit. Khai then walked over to the driver's window and firmly told him he had nearly struck the children.
After the incident, Khai posted a video appealing to all motorists using the roads near tourist attractions. He explained that Romhub Market welcomes both Thai and foreign visitors, and without tourists, business operators and transport services would have no income. He urged all drivers to stay calm, drive carefully, and show courtesy to fellow road users.
