The owner should be in jail right now, and should never see the outside world again, I for one think he should get the death penalty.

There is no effective police force in Thailand, and no active enforcement, so what do they have to fear?

He's got bigger trouble now, BangkokPost just put an article out saying the owner failed to bring the other two buses in, but the authorities found them by GPS signal at a garage having the illegal extra tanks removed. The owner should get the death penalty at this point, and the garage removing the tanks should also be charged.

The fact that there isn't even a proper road test to get a driver's license, says all you need know.

It does, for about 1-2 weeks, then its forgotten.

The difference is I believe they actually do enforce laws there, even if the people continue to ignore them.

Here it is embraced by the Thai people, stop fooling yourself.

Hallmarks of the Thai culture.

No, what is needed is to shame the RTP into doing their jobs and enforce road rules and laws. They should be shamed, and made to lose "face" in the public eye, for dereliction of duty. Their King gave them the "traffic act", it was signed by him and made law of the land, they shame him by not enforcing these laws and protecting his people. In fact, the whole country should be shamed for not following the laws of the Kingdom.

Nobody wants to see Prawit dropping a deuce.

That's how we got here, when someone believes rules only apply to others, not themselves.

Well now we know that multiple problems caused this, this is what Thai culture has produced when everyone looks the other way when it comes to safety. I blame the Thai people for this, the parents, the teachers, the government, the RTP.....all of them! Watching the false tears from the government employees and the PM herself just makes me want to vomit, they are all complicit in this! https://thethaiger.com/news/national/bus-ted-driver-in-bus-blaze-tragedy-jailed-previous-accidents-shared

Look for unusual wealth, then you will have found the culprits.

Isn't this where feces is supposed to gather?

I lost that long ago, I no longer believe in fantasies.

I'm sure that will make the families of the dead feel much better.

Poor training and acceptance of safety measures/laws/rules by parents, relatives, teachers, RTP officers, government officials, can and do hurt students.

It's never good being a guinea pig, especially when it comes to dangerous new tech.

"Alleged"? You mean there are still people out there that bought this ruse?

Yes, I think using her logic, since the baht is stronger now, they can now pay her less which will help her "better manage" her "spending in Thailand".

Now we know why the leasing companies want a "wet lease".

I'm interested in who approved the work, inspected it afterwards, and who signed off on it at Thai Land Transport Office. Or better yet, who took the brown envelopes to look the other way, and how high up did the money go.

These weren't children from Elite families, expect nothing to change.

If they are lucky enough they will be able to take part in any future coup, maybe even get to murder students on campus without repercussions.

There are plenty of laws on the books, and hefty fines, the issue is enforcement.....until the RTP is made to do their jobs, nothing will change.
