Normally this company Phretsapert is pretty safe with well maintained buses, unusually clean functioning toilets, smart attendants and drivers.
Have used then many times and was impressed with the general standard of driving on long trips, however they do run extremely long cross country routes Mae Sot to Mukdahan for example..................perhaps a normal driver change didn't happen and they continued on into the night?
Nakhon Chai Air air probably the best safety record over the years and Thai Transport and Chan tours survivable.
Luckily not more fatalities.

They could start this in Pattaya.
At the jetski scam locations...........
Their should at all times be a medical team to attend to the wounds of the assaulted tourists to save them a trip to hospital.
For the tourists who choose to pay up without argument their should also be an ATM machine located right on the beach to save a walk across the dangerous traffic of beach road.
Of course they could actually employ tourist police who have balls and will protect the tourists..............rather than posing around in the uniform for kicks, but maybe that is asking too much?

The saddest thing is to see the general lack of empathy.........what ever the reason, ill health, mental illness, emotional problems never forget it could be you!
You never know how or when life can push you too the brink of despair, insanity and possibly suicide until you experience it.
No comment and move on is a million times better than attempts at humour at the expense of an individual who took his life.
Enjoy your life while you can .............and thank your god, if you have one? that you retain a balanced mental health until you die naturally.
The Im alright Jack brigade in abundance on Tvisa may one day find they are not!!
-
Obviously another photo op, get the Burmese to kneel down in rows just in case they might be confused with the upstanding Thai law enforcement.
They are at best sometimes complete to@@ers.

Pattaya beach is full of prostitutes with many sad men leeching around them.
As long as they're happy at the end!
Why would they be sad ................what a load of sanctimonious twaddle .........and yes Pattaya is full of prostitutes!! No shi@@t Sherlock!! a stunning revelation.
-
Outrage at a video of sex being sold in an area known for offering this service..................................
Meanwhile countless videos over the years of tourists being robbed and assaulted by the jet-ski scammers with clear indication that the RTP help operate the scam and tourist police shown to be unable to assist tourists...................
That's perfectly acceptable, no Thai media frenzy or condemnation or upset Thais!
Totally deluded lunatics running the show! but guess we already know that!
-
Whats the fuss about, how can you have a karaoke bar without girls..............that would be akin to Thailand without corruption!
Maybe they wanted the jobs for Thai girls not Laotians!
-
Such touching concern for tourists!
How about a similar article from TAT warning of the presence of wild animal on the beaches.
Tourists warned on encounters with beach Jet-Ski vendors.
Tourists have been warned of renting jet skis from beach vendors due to the possible loss of money and damage to body parts.
They are advised to pay up at all times and not to expect any help from tourist police and be aware that the RTP are not there to offer assistance but to simply facilitate the extortion.

It is difficult, though not imposdible, to imagine what kind of douchebag farang would a) become a tourist police volunteer, b ) march in that parade, and c) willingly hold up the misspelled sign for the cameras.
Interesting comment, take a look at............ Andrew Drummond .com............... you,ll have to access it through a proxy server, as it is blocked here in Thailand for being possibly a little too.
true?...................... you decide!You,ll see an article, among others which highlights the alleged background of a former leader of the Tourist police in a popular beach resort.
Ive often wondered why a guy would want to do this job wearing the uniform of the tourist police whilst totally unable to aid the victims of the jetski scam who need their help the most.
-
Yes very safe................
Hapless tourist routinely rents a jet ski while on the beach with his friends.
Only to be robbed, possibly assaulted and minus a lot of money, holiday ruined by a group of thugs in cahoots with men in tight brown uniforms.
With no assistance from the aforementioned tourist police......................who are not allowed to disrupt the filling of rice bowls!
Whilst the TAT turn a blind eye!
But I stand corrected...........they did build a hut on the beach, the jetski extortion control centre, think the victims can even pay by credit card now!!!
-
Whats really sickening about this is the total disregard for peoples dignity and the feelings of relatives etc?
Why oh why in the name of some god somewhere is it deemed perfectly normal to show these type of photos?.
A truly appalling custom of this country!

TO REASSURE THE SAFETY OF TOURISTS IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE
Ok so when a jet ski scam is going down and thousands of baht are being extorted from some hapless tourist, who has a knife pulled on him by a bunch of scum and is assaulted
Where are the tourist police then??? busy polishing their boots for the next parade............ or more likely polishing the boots of their RTP corrupt friends.
In summary we would prefer if tourists are not blown up or gunned down by ISIS lunatics whilst in Thailand because this would stop the cash flow if you didn't turn up..............and without you tourists who else could we scam on the beach every day for thousands and thousands of baht!
-
Jeez they are so deluded....................what about the extortion with threats of and actual violence that still continues on the beaches of Pattaya yesterday, today,tomorrow and is publicized on the internet and is well known to most western embassies and the corrupt men in uniforms that facilitate the theft from tourists rather than helping them..............................what does that do for the image of Thailand.
The tourist office spews out endless statements but refuses to deal with one of the most blatant crimes against tourists because the proceeds of the jetski scam fill the rice bowls of so many low life scumbags right up the gravy train.
-
I wish he would get his butt back here and attend a meeting to decide once and for all..................is the 11th of Dec bike for dad day a public holiday or not? a simple statement of yes or no cant be too difficult, or will we have to wait until the middle of next week to get some clarity?
-
It seems to have gone very quiet on the chances of this being a national holiday.....................sadly, I guess we can assume it now wont be, unless anyone knows different?
-
It would be great to know if the 11th bike for dad day is a holiday, giving us a four day break? are they still in the meeting talking about that one? or has it been ruled out now?
-
But is it going to be a national holiday, or do we have to wait until the day before to find out ?? would like to plan for a four day break!
-
Have they decided if its a public holiday or not? They were having a meeting I believe to decide?
-
Do we have a verdict yet? to holiday or not?
-
Highly commendable an arrest for a beach crime against tourists....................................
So we can now expect the photos from the arrest of the jet ski scammers who steal thousands from tourists on the beach every day.
Wait what was that noise............oh just a few squadrons of flying pigs passing by!!
-
Would imagine the CIA have copious supplies of passports with photos of all nationalities that can be given the assumed damage that allows them to somehow miraculously remain legible through bomb blasts and infernos that can melt construction steel..............as in a other incidents etc etc.
-
Pretty unfortunate when having a medical procedure things go tits up or in this case.................sadly they didn't!
-
Sad loss of life but seems to be normality here.
Yesterday witnessed many heavily overloaded pick ups on the main highway 2 south of Udon,really just come to accept it, but then encountered an unbelievable site but didn't have easy access to a camera at the time.................
.A full size twin wheel ancient box truck was loaded with I would imagine into the hundreds of workers and kids and bikes and many hanging on the rear and on the roof it was packed like a an Indian train.....................because of traffic and roadworks I was plodding along right behind it for a while and was truly shocked, but this is Thailand not the M25.
I hope they made it to their destination.

Moving a few tourists away from her patch shes traced and fined mmmmm
Meanwhile ripping off tourists for thousands of baht with threats and actual violence with the full co-operation of the police
and they actually built the guys a nice little booth on the beachside to aid them in the extortion......... carry on guys no problem step this way for your jetski experience.

How about motorbikes into Laos is that easy enough, if you had the green book with you but it was still in the ex girlfriends name, Im guessing you would not be allowed out of Thailand even with a letter of consent.?
