For a start inspections are NOT carried out "Thoroughly ". Having just one person inspecting, never using jacks and levers, tapping every visible nut with a small ball peen hammer, depleting air tanks, until the audio alarm goes off, timing how long it takes to recharge the air, check the gauges ...... Then the the other problem is they inspect all buses in the same months, how daft can you get, the correct way would be to have an appointed Date and Time as in the UK (was/is) not just turn up Ad Hoc. and spread the inspections across the whole year. If the bus companies are paying up to 8K a year in Bribes, then charge MORE for the inspections and employ more TRAINED Staff, it 'aint rocket science. If the so called Transport Minister stopped his concentration on Airports to appease the Tourist industry, and spent more time addressing the Driving tests, road carnage, and sorting this mess out then things could improve. He needs a consultant from the real world HERE in Thailand from IMO the UK. But Thais know best, init.

I agree.

I agree, it is a shame the recent Paralympic team gold medalists could not speak out about it, while they were under the limelight, but they would be accused of giving Thailand a bad name, now they deservedly have their Millions they won't have to worry about it. Even Banks have no wheelchair access.

What warning Signs ?

Doesn't even look like any signs were put up.

Why was the power not turned off then ? as usual wait until someone dies. How were people informed of the closure, did they even bother to put up a warning sign ? the road has no barriers with easy access to the road. RIP buddy.

But then no one would get paid for "Ongoing feasibility studies"................

I had 3 months of sheer bliss IMO, I knew a very attractive bar girl that I had been with a few times, but the bar female bar owner used to get violent when pissed, and she and her also attractive much smaller friend, had to share a room with her, and wanted to find their own place feeling scared of her, so I suggested where I was staying I would pay for one of the bungalows at 3.5K a month, I just wanted one time a week, and also put a rule in place they could not bring customers there. Well the one I really liked never slept in 'her' room she would always come to my room every night, I did not have a M/C either but the smaller girl did, we used to drive around all day with me driving and the smaller one in front clamped between my legs............oh what a time we had, laughing and joking all day. They never went back to the bar but freelanced at the clubs and other bars this was on Koh Chang nearly 20yrs ago.

Did I not read a report recently saying the exact opposite ?

I had a friend here with very bad fungus he tried Pharmacy stuff and nothing worked, he then found out putting vinegar on it worked very well, also I think olive oil works. he googled it.

What sort of weapon are you referring to ?................

You beat me to it.

Agree.

Works fine on my Samsung you can set the temp. to whatever you want and it will continue 'drying' the air. Go on be a devil and press the button..........

Nope......

I'm really confused if he was leading the buses then surely they would have been following him, why did he close the LEFT lane ? Trying to read between the lines then 2 cop cars should have been used, but it still makes no sense to me why he would close a lane ?

I agree

I have no idea what you are blabbering on about. One of the operators said even his diesel buses have been grounded, if that's what you are referring to.

I agree one poster even suggested he should have stayed in the bus to help get the kids out. .......................

😕

Thai standards for inspecting any vehicle are beyond a joke. They know ZILCH on how to carry out a real inspection.

What could possibly go wrong ? Another "On going" Feasibility study, nice little earners they are. "That is not feasible" "yes but lets repeat the study then dream up another unfeasible idea" rinse and repeat just keep spending our tax payers money.
