The accident occurred at 6.30am on the New Airport Road, about a kilometer from the Talang Technical School in Sakoo.
The driver, Cherng Talay Pol. Lt Nicom Kaewnoo, and female passenger were not hurt in the accident.
However the car, a Honda Civic, was badly damaged after smashing into the roadside safety rail and sliding about 20 metres before flipping and landing up side down in the ditch next to a canal.
Emergency response crews arrived to find the lieutenant and his companion standing by the car, which took rescuers about two hours to pull from the ditch.
The lieutenant said he was heading downhill toward the airport when the car skidded out of control on a bend on the wet road.
