Rider's Wife Blasts BMW Driver Student for Lacking Conscience, Refuses to Apologize at Funeral, Vows Not to Settle
A 22-year-old BMW driver killed a motorcycle rider in Pathum Thani but failed to attend the victim's funeral, prompting the widow to reject any settlement and vow to pursue the case fully.
A BMW driven by a 22-year-old university student rear-ended a motorcycle rider on Bangkhen-Chiang Rak Road in Pathum Thani Province at approximately 1:00 AM on April 30, resulting in the rider's death. As of May 3, 2025, the deceased's funeral was held at Wat Suan Kluay in Saraburi Province's Nong Khae District.
Nang Phawei, the widow, revealed that throughout the three-day funeral period, the driver failed to attend at all. Only his parents came, attending two nights of the funeral—the first night to present a wreath and pay respects, and the second to listen to the Buddhist funeral chanting before departing.
Phawei expressed her distress, saying the driver clearly lacks conscience and has shown no responsibility for what happened. He claimed he was unable to travel, which she found unconvincing, and he never offered a sincere apology. She suggested that without parental intervention, the driver might not apologize at all.
"My husband was the pillar of our family," Phawei stated. "Money cannot replace a life. He should show more humanity than this. Even on this final day, he couldn't bring himself to show up. He should take responsibility far more seriously than he has."
Phawei added that her family must now care for their two children alone, and regarding the legal case, she will pursue it to the fullest extent of the law and will absolutely not accept any settlement.
