These buses are built in very rudimentary facilities from local 'designs'.
Channel 4 in the UK did an exposé on them many years ago after three English lads were killed in a similar crash.
The investigation showed that the bus frames were all hand built, and a lot of wood and other soft material was used for structural components.
Absolutely no crash testing on these things at all. Total deathtraps.
These trucks are out of control in Pattaya and environs.
Go to Laem Chabang police station and there are wrecks of trucks outside daily.
Last night I witnessed a truck barrelling along the frontage road on Highway 7 at 120kmh
RIP to the motorbike rider.
Get the uniforms on to intimidate.
Photo of 'experts' performing some 'testing'.
Plausible excuse prepared.
Punish those that posted the video online.
Anything I missed?
Give siamseeds.com a try, they are based in Thailand and offer next day delivery.
Never had any issues with them. A lot of what I have grown on this thread came from them.
They have come to realise that at this time, Thaksin is the lesser of the two evils.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the threat of MFP is removed, how things shape up.
It sounds like they tried to roll the drunk, and he wasn't as drunk as they thought, and he fought back.
Possibly they arranged to have him take home by the motorbike driver after he had been robbed?
