It was supposed to be a simple bathroom break. Instead, it turned into a late-night adventure neither Boontom Chaimoon, 55, nor his wife, Amnuay, 49, will ever forget.
The couple was on a nighttime road trip through Thailand when Boontom pulled over for a quick stop around 3 AM. Amnuay stepped away into the bushes for privacy, leaving her phone behind in the truck. By the time she returned, the truck—and her husband—were nowhere to be seen.
Yes, Boontom had accidentally driven off without her.
Amnuay’s heart must have sunk when she realized her situation. Alone, in the dark, with no phone or way to call for help, she had no choice but to start walking. And walk she did—12.5 miles through the night—hoping to find someone who could help.
Finally, her persistence paid off when she arrived at a police station. The officers were stunned to hear her story but quickly contacted her husband. Meanwhile, Boontom had been cruising down the road, completely unaware his wife wasn’t in the truck.
When the call came, it hit him like a ton of bricks. Realizing his massive mistake, he made a U-turn and rushed back to reunite with Amnuay.
Fortunately, neither was harmed, but it’s safe to assume their conversation after this ordeal was an intense one.
Let this story be a reminder to double-check your passenger seat—before you hit the road. And if it made you laugh, don’t forget to share it with your friends. After all, we’ve all had our forgetful moments… just maybe not this forgetful!
