Rider Cremated as University Student Driver Remains Silent, Widow Devastated Over Lack of Responsibility
A 27-year-old motorcycle taxi rider was cremated May 3 after being killed by a drunk university student driving a BMW in Saraburi, with the driver's family failing to attend or acknowledge the widow's pleas for accountability.
The cremation ceremony for Alongkorn, 27, a motorcycle taxi rider, took place on May 3, 2025, at Wan Suan Kluay Temple in Saraburi province. He was struck and killed when a famous university student, driving while intoxicated in a luxury BMW, collided with his motorcycle at high speed.
The funeral atmosphere was somber, with many of the victim's fellow riders and friends in attendance. His widow, Ms. Supaweee, wept continuously throughout the ceremony while relatives provided support. When the coffin was brought to the cremation site, she viewed her husband's body one final time and broke down in tears. Notably, the university student driver and their family did not attend the funeral at all.
Ms. Supaweee revealed that she had informed the driver's family about the cremation date and asked them to take responsibility by attending the final funeral rites, but no one read or responded to her messages. Her calls went unanswered. What troubled her most was the driver's group showed no conscience, made no attempt to speak with the family, and displayed no human decency or accountability.
She expressed concern about whether justice will be served, noting suspicions about how quickly bail was granted. She questioned why a luxury vehicle wouldn't have a dashcam, as the driver claimed, stating that surveillance footage would be the only way to ensure her family receives justice. She rejected the driver's father's excuse that his son struggles with Thai language, pointing out that he studies in Thailand, attends Thai schools, and communicates in Thai. She vowed to fight the case fully and demanded that her husband receive justice.
