The road is crap in that area due to construction of the tunnel. Yes, probably driving too fast for the conditions but also the authorities are at fault as the road is not maintained or cleared of debris. And this is the main road through Pato.

You are right

But you need to Drive / Ride to the conditions of the road your on.

Authorities,   Amulets and Luck wont help for long.

Drive / Ride safe,   not dumb,  Stupid, like so many do in Thailand.

Oh well.

More smart people on the roads.

Amazing Pattaya.

you missed  the point

There would be far more revenue collected.

Loads to go round. Win Win.

What about the pavement/sidewalk outside the K-Bank between TukCom and Friendship? Always packed with motorbikes parked there and driving back and forth, pedestrians just better get out of the way. And of course this is a favorite spot for the traffic cops to set up shop on a market day to bag people without crash helmets or the right paperwork, but do they even bat an eyelid at all the bikes supposedly parked illegally? Surely it would be easier to just ticket all the parked bikes than to flag down moving targets on the road, so I always assumed that parking and riding a bike on the pavement/sidewalk is not illegal here? Anybody?

Maybe its time to let the cops have a very small percentage of the

revenue they can collect from the  offenders on the roads or pavements

of Thailand.

It would obviously have a  few problems,

  but it maybe one way to

start,   to turn the tide of offences,   on the roads of Thailand.

The silly money collection days at the side of the road,  do nothing to

help with safety or the well being of fellow motorists.

Could start with the ,  crash the red light boys ,  say 1000-1500 a pop

give the cops 10% a nick,, , win win i would say.

Sorry,   I  been smoking again.

Sorry, my observation is that Jomtien is a very depressed/depressing place.  Especially on the beginning soi's off Beach road.

Cheap Charlies it seems big time smoking, drinking, never smiling seem to want to kill someone or themselves...

Even walking those soi's I get depressed.  Claustrophobic, dirty and depressing.

I hate the place generally, can think of nothing good about it except maybe those restaurants at the far end of the road.

But, maybe this is why the Russians love it because it reminds them of home.

Think that's a bit unfair about the place.

But please feel free to leave on the next Baht bus

your custom is not required in Jomtiem.

Just doing what comes naturally to the Drivers / Riders of Thailand.

Situation Normal.

Visibility all round in these lorries is extremely poor. Can't understand why so many people here buy them as family cars.

 

Because  they cant stop being Hillbillies no matter how much money

Bullocks.

 

She kept going because she hoped it would fall free and she could get away without any repercussions, whilst not giving a flying toss about the other person.

 

Just like all the other hit and runs here. They simply don't give a hoot about others, and self advantage and escape from as much responsibility as possible is the game of the day. 

 

Disgusting social behavioral trait. 

Hit and run should carry a mandatory 3-6 months prison term.

when caught.

That's a lot of damage for a 60km/h collision (I'm assuming that's on the 344 which is signposted at 60).

 

You need to double that speed and ad about 30 more.

that's the usual cruising speed of the  safety conscious caring  mini van drivers of Thailand.

Oh look, Pattaya AKA the skid-mark of the kingdom back again with it's outstanding meat head tourists and depraved sex-pats, what joy! I cannot wait for the Ferry from Shattaya to HH to be up and running ... 

I like that, 

Quote

Pattaya AKA the skid-mark of the kingdom

If we use it .      Will it reduce the Families and normal people that come here.

We need Pattaya to go back to basics,    Sex Town,  number 1.

The skid-mark of the kingdom

More quality tourists from Russia in town

No Thais will care apart from the

people involved in this.

Situation normal

Carry on driving crazy.

That,s  more like the truth.

coupled with speeding,     that would fit the sad bill.

Well done Thailand.

Good job,  

Stupid is as Stupid does.

100% proof, that no one cares.

Amazing Thailand,   good job

The real sad thing is ,   this tragedy will just be

viewed by most drivers and riders of Thailand as just bad luck !!!!!!!!!!

there will be no blame  and no care, other than the families involved in this.

There will be another 70 plus dead tomorrow.

such a shame.

A fine example of the Thai education system.

She obviously had  no idea how smart phones and  the internet work together"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mum and Dad should have kept the money and spent it more impotent things

like Booze,  Cigarettes and Card games,.

Amazing Thailand.

Ok  general question to see what Thai drivers know about Road rules

 

What is the speed limit in built up areas? Really tough question i think

 

I am going to have a guess   120 klm per hour  because that is what Thai driver do in built up areas Am i right? It must be because that is the sped they do and i am sure they know the road ruleslike the back of there hand lol

This is to easy.

Its as fast as your vehicle will go.

And also have as much disregard for the passengers you have on board.

Amazing Thailand
