Thai law | Any person who intentionally,
negligently or wrongfully injures the breath, body,
heath, liberty, property or any rights of another person is said to commit the unlawful
act is bound to make the compensation thereafter under Thailand
law. Our story came about in a condominium building which was fairly new
and had gym facilities and a swimming pool. One day a mother and her two
children a boy and girl eight and four years old respectively went to the gym
room to exercise there. After a while the mother remembered that she forgot
something upstairs in her room and left the two children alone. The four year
old girl was playing with a leather ball in the room and when she dropped it
the ball rolled next to the treadmill where you would step onto the machine.
When she reached down to pick it up her hand became stuck in the tread and she
was pulled face first onto the machine, she sustained serious injuries to her
hand and burns to her face as she was stuck to the machine as it was still in
operation.
During the accident there were many workers employed at the
condominium that looked on but did not do anything to help the little girl they
just left the machine on for a while until the mother returned accompanied by
the father came to check on the children. Seeing their daughter the father
immediately lifted the machine and pulled her out taking her to the hospital
straight away. The treatment prescribed by the doctor for the little girl was a
three months recovery course and around this moment the father decided to sue
the condo for two million baht under the unlawful act charge.

So if you are the committee member of the juristic person or
if you are the condo owner, please be aware that something like this can happen
to you. Sometime you need to about Thai law.
Hazardous places such as a gym room or a swimming pool should have staff taking
care and monitoring any situations that may occur. If anyone is injured in the
gym or drowned in the pond then you will be held answerable for the wrongful
act whether they be children, adults. A way to help prevent this is to put up
the signboards stating the different hazards, but you will still need to have
someone to take care of those facilities to make sure to not allow any unminded
children and to monitor residents in case of emergency like the above case. If
you do not want to lose big money please be sure to have the good protection.
