A luxury Porsche valued at 6 million baht rolled into a deep canal near Suvarnabhumi Airport, requiring a two-hour recovery operation.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 5, 2026, a luxury Porsche valued at approximately 6 million baht was involved in an unusual accident near Suvarnabhumi Airport. The vehicle, which had been brought to a local repair shop, reportedly rolled away while parked, crossed the road, and plunged into a nearby irrigation canal.
The canal, noted for its depth of approximately five meters, completely submerged the vehicle. Emergency responders and recovery teams were dispatched to the scene, requiring over two hours of effort to extract the car from the water. The owner of the vehicle was present at the scene during the recovery process.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring vehicles are properly secured when left at service centers, particularly in areas adjacent to waterways or busy roads. While the recovery operation was successful, the extent of the mechanical and electrical damage to the luxury vehicle remains to be confirmed. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the specific cause of the vehicle's movement, such as a potential failure of the parking brake or a mechanical error at the repair facility. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing.
