Living in hope in Thailand is fine as long as you don't take it too seriously. Many things even bigger than accidents like this here that really need hope for better tomorrow... It is just that forces and culture are against the progress
Clearly the body of the bus is not that old. Chassis maybe but even that a bit doubtful.
Either way, the age of it unlikely to be reason for the incident, rather maintenance (tires, door locks, gas system, fire extinguisher system etc).
Me too - but that's exactly the issue.
Govt might think (because of $) what they possibly could/should do to get more money to come here (which unfortunately requires people to come too). However for some reason they seem to think differently regarding those already here. Why, I not sure; xenophoby probably, or just thai logic.
Just imagine the chaos in airport arrivals the day this system goes live. Crowds of people unaware they don't have something they should have to get thru immigration to have their holiday
Wrong. Farang logic can not apply to incident like this.
Had the foreigner passenger worn an amulet from the wandering monk, the whole accident would not have happened. Thus, the Cambodian is at fault.
"Another foreign man can be seen assisting with the positioning before sitting across from the couple and embracing the woman beside him."
A proof that foreign men are helpful when they see people, especially co-passengers having difficulties
Seems Pattaya City officials not aware of this thingy. I think I have seen all possible other forms of roadworks ongoing in rotating manner over the years, but this drill job still to find it's way here.
Even if it did, it's all positive. Same officials who got the kickbacks from the hole drilling contract, will get even more from the re-paving/road fixing job...
Just imagine all the hassle for the millions of package tourists from China and also other countries, especially so if any documentation beyond passport numbwr is needed in submission.
