The schools have to take a lot of the blame for this !! I believe most schools have a occupational and heath office That job included Safety, There should be a tender process for bus hire the school has the commitment to do its due diligence and check all documentation in regard to busses, it should have included bus certification driver certification safety records maintenance records ect and prior to boarding the school should have done a Risk management assessment

Wow did not think i would say this good post and 100% spot on

Well that is all in good all i am saying is road safety should be taught at schools if they want a go commit suicide all well and good and keep the Buddhist faith but i would lay odds that it would save lives

Thanks for the tip will try

Well i Think your Assumption is Totally wrong by the number of deaths on the roads or are you saying Thais don't have common sense. You are right in this Statement Quote "caution aren’t things thai culture typically emphasizes" which Thai culture needs to change If it does not the road deaths will continue Please don't bold my post it is against the forum rules

Its All for show, no enforcement. Why is there no Road safety taught at schools,

What are the Guidelines does not say ?? Who is responsible for the compliance to the guidelines ??? Guidelines Are Not mandatory

read my post Who cares !!!

oh must have miss that so the rest of the suspects will attended court just these 2 missing. is there a reason they can not be tried in "absentia" same as RB they could try in "absentia" they have done this before.

In action by the police !! what about the other suspect have any been arrested ??

And pray tell how you have determined she is Thai/ Brit

Its how they have been taught, Liability In many ways, Thailand is the opposite to the United States. In the United States all men are born equal, but this is an absurd notion in Thailand where no one is equal and everyone knows their position in the social hierarchy. Litigation has gone to extreme levels in the United States and has spawned a whole industry of lazy people whose only goal in life is to try to blame others for various misfortunes so that they can try to sue people for vast amounts of money. It is this reason, and this reason only, why cups containing hot beverages have notices stating that the contents is hot, and why bags of peanuts must state that the product contains nuts. This is one extreme, but Thailand is at the other extreme. Shortly after arriving in Thailand I read about a young girl who was attacked by a Rottweiler dog. The owner of the dog gave her family Bt500. Thais might think a little bit more about the consequences of their actions if they were hit with huge law suits or prison sentences, but that doesn't happen either. I don't necessarily agree with overly-litigious societies like the United States, but the threat of a huge law suit at least makes people think about the possible consequences of their actions.

Yep the brother in law received the money, but he will not vote for them

A clever guy !! wants to spent a few years in prison, nice bed,3 meals a day and company, life of luxury.

Who cares

Poor driving, why did he pull out if he could not see oncoming traffic, Thais amaze me in there excuses.

have you ever tried to get that shxx off "T cut" is the only way i have found, pain full job

read all of the post Simon43 post will answer your question

This is a Work place accident and requires specialized Investigation as to the cause, I don't think the local police have the experience to investigate, There should be occupational health and safety inspectors doing the investigation and if the finding are criminal then handed over to the police for prosecution. Thais have No concept of safety, More and More accidents like this will follow until Safety is mandated by Law , Where was the company's Safety Rep ??, was there a risk assessment done, until basic safety is enforced this will continue.

Not trying to defend her just pointing out Kleptomania is a recognized mental health disorder. It causes people to feel an irresistible urge to steal things even if they do not need them. Authority need to check her records

The driver must have known he hit something, typical Thai attitude run away from the responsibility.

read the post revealed that more than a third and do you expect news articles to be 100% in Thailand think you are dreaming

Tend to agree !! Thais like to run away rather than take responsibility, Until the culture is Changed Thais will be in the Dark ages

No training in Safety was there a tendering process Quality and safety records should have been examined, now there is a breach of safety contractor should be removed

not quoting any policy s just the law and not my interpretation don't start abusing posters that is against the rules if you can not be polite don't post
