So where is you evidence? Your figures???? -

But those are classic conspiracy theory tropes and language. Di you know th initial researsh program was set up incorporation with the USA? Do you think it was intentional? -
Collision reports are a vital part of road safety measures and are usually part of the public domain. – have you ever seen anything approaching this in Thailand? Proper collision investigation is vital for improving road safety, but in Thailand, the process is often chaotic and ineffective. In contrast to best practices seen in countries like the UK—where scenes are secured, evidence is carefully preserved, and trained specialists conduct in-depth analyses—Thailand’s investigations are frequently left to under-trained local police with minimal equipment or methodology. A standard investigative approach follows the METHANE protocol: • Make the scene safe • Establish the facts • Treat the injured • Hazards and risks • Access and egress • Notification and Evidence preservation Sadly, in Thailand, roads are rarely closed off, evidence is quickly lost, and investigations rely heavily on unreliable eyewitness accounts and superficial assessments. There’s minimal use of advanced technology like 3D scanning, drones, or data extraction from vehicles. As a result, accident reports are rushed, vague, and lack actionable insight. Road hazards remain unaddressed, and the opportunity to learn from each incident is missed. Worse, public discussion often devolves into uninformed, biased commentary rather than constructive analysis. Thailand has one of the highest road death rates globally—a fact unlikely to change without a shift toward professional, evidence-based collision investigation.

I find this comment quite outdated and overly simplistic. It completely ignores the broader context and real pressures that many drivers face, particularly those working long hours just to make a living. it makes assumptions about the causes of accidents—without referring to the actual crash report—that are speculative and uninformed. Also, sweeping generalisations about Thai drivers being under the influence is not only inaccurate, but, offensive. It unfairly paints an entire group with a negative brush based on assumptions rather than facts. If we want to talk about improving road safety, we should be addressing systemic issues—like working conditions, vehicle regulation enforcement, and infrastructure improvements—alongside driver behavior, not just laying blame in one direction. Let’s focus on facts, not stereotypes.

Every time there's a crash like this, the same old tired, ignorant comments appear—blaming the driver, mocking Thai people, and pretending to be experts on road safety. There’s no proper investigation, no real crash report—just assumptions and casual racism. Drivers here work brutal hours in unsafe vehicles on dangerous roads, with zero systemic support. This isn’t about one man’s mistake. It’s a failure of infrastructure, enforcement, and standards. If you can't offer empathy or informed insight, say nothing.

Swede's Split-Second Distraction Triggers Buriram Accident

Blame might feel satisfying, but it doesn't fix anything. Crashes happen because systems fail—roads, policies, vehicles—not just individuals. Focus on blame, and you miss the chance to prevent the next one. -

So you are going to take the racist stance too? Most racist can't tell racism from a fact either - "That’s a fact, not a racial slur." -

there you go! Why is it a that racists always argue that thinks they say aren't racist? -
You are obsessed with the concept of "blame' - with road safety, this was discredited over 50 years ago - you simply don't understand the first thing about road safety, which is why you keep posting nonsense. You need to realise that Modern road safety has moved beyond blaming individuals. Human error is inevitable, so the focus is now on designing systems that prevent serious outcomes. The Safe System approach prioritises safer roads, vehicles, and speeds— recognising that responsibility is shared. Blame doesn’t solve systemic issues or prevent future crashes. It distracts from real, structural improvements.

In simple terms if a speeding car comes round a bend too wide - if the other driver (not at fault) can avoid it due to quick reactions the crash may be avoided, if the other person is slower , old or even drunk, they may not be able to avoid a crash. Regardless of blame if a crash happens, then how serious it is, is then down to the road safety precautions taken by that country - e.g the 5 Es - engineering, enforcement, education, EMERGENCY and evaluation. I'd say that most people posting on this and other threads are not capable of evaluation but don't realise that so they just write nonsense. Calling people "stupid' with regards to road safety is ..well...just stupid. It's subjective and racist.

Yes - it was the deeper dive interview - have you watched it? https://www.google.com/search?q="Deeper+dive"+immigration+regulations+60+day+in+Thailand&sca_esv=8aeaa65e2db77436&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB958GB958&sxsrf=AHTn8zqAzL1VB2vEpJQ-vD90U25ILMmE3w%3A1745230633531&ei=KRsGaMiXINqzhbIPyYf34QE&ved=0ahUKEwiI0Nnf8uiMAxXaWUEAHcnDPRwQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq="Deeper+dive"+immigration+regulations+60+day+in+Thailand&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiOCJEZWVwZXIgZGl2ZSIgaW1taWdyYXRpb24gcmVndWxhdGlvbnMgNjAgZGF5IGluIFRoYWlsYW5kMgUQIRigAUjeYFCgHVjGXnAEeACQAQGYAfcBoAHhD6oBBjE5LjIuMbgBA8gBAPgBAZgCGaACqA7CAg4QABiABBiwAxiGAxiKBcICCBAAGLADGO8FwgILEAAYgAQYsAMYogTCAgcQIRigARgKmAMAiAYBkAYHkgcEMjMuMqAHqEWyBwQxOS4yuAedDg&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:01531066,vid:EIhRsYAUmEg,st:0

When is the 60 day visa-free entry changing?
kwilco replied to kwilco's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
ASEAN NOW (or was it Thaiger?) had a long video interview with a minister when the 60 visa exempt was introduced. I Can't find a copy of this but he stated that 60 visa exempt could make unlimited re-entrie so long as they stayed out for 24 hours. -

you seem to be having touble with deciding who is stupid....all Thai people or this Swede.... I think using this kind of racist logic, you will never get an answer.
