Yup that’s going to make us great again ehh insulting our minority’s and their hard one gains America first ya say ehh???lots more to come the felons only been back 10 days

As 48% of the US Population are already of the 'Coloured' variety they can hardly be called a 'Minority' and within 20 years the Whiteman will become the 'Minority' !

RIP those lost.   This sort of thing will never be eradicated from Thai roads as the majority of drivers, particularly the Men, are 'Me First' very selfish types where their own importance outweighs all other safety considerations.

I wonder how many of these people were wearing Seat Belts ?   However; with that force of impact even Belts won't save everyone.

Always makes me laugh when a Thai Citizen is 'surprised' by Corruption in any Government Institution in this Country when i've never met a Thai who believes there is any honesty in any of them !

What are these red and white stripes on the roads?? decorations? Nobody gets a proper driving education so nobody will stop. I think 40 years ago in my country they said already that it is safer to cross the road in Thailand not over a zebra crossing but on another part of the road.. In 40 years nothing changed apparently, but if you want change things you have to go forward and Thailand stands still on all fronts although they want to be the hub of everything

They think that if they stand still long enough they have a better chance of being a 'Hub', or they may even get painted !

Nothing will improve

but if there is  a downturn in numbers coming 😱

Well changes could happen very quickly 

''Happen very quickly'' ?    They would have to grow Brains first !!

Well, most aren't taught or know which way to give way to at all   They think first in first served no matter what direction. It's just lack of education of traffic laws and lack of enforcement of traffic laws. Lack of care of anything.

Of all the problems they have the main one is 'Attitude'.

Pissing in the Wind comes to mind !

Ah; these must be the 'High End' Tourists they have been talking about for the last ten years....555.

RIP that Man; those 'Magnetic' Power poles claim another Victim.    Thai's never seem to learn that 'Speed Kills'  !

In any Country where people are taught to drive properly we are taught never to swerve but to brake in a straight line, even if it means a collision with the offending Vehicle in front of you.  Much safer than causing this kind of carnage.

This is apparently very difficult in LOS.
This has been a big problem for many years, but the government seems to think otherwise.

Difficult because Government don't want to pay to build Roundabouts every so often, which would also have the effect of slowing down all the idiot speedsters !

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him ?   If he married the wrong Woman it's not our fault.   If he broke Thai Law it's not our fault.

If he used his brain to make better choices this wouldn't have happened.   Thailand is a great place to be if you behave properly and make the right choices !

Having visited a few Army and Airforce Bases over the years and seen the slack lives they all live here it doesn't surprise me one bit that there are 'Accidents' on a fairly regular basis !

Years ago I  went car shopping up here in Sakon Nakhon . I went to test drive a Honda Civic at the dealership! They didnt have any , they suggested I order one or test drive a Honda Jazz 555.

I told my wife to tell the sales lady , never mind I’ll go to Toyota up the street. 
 

I thought it strange to suggest ordering a  Civic that I couldn’t test drive!

I had a similar experience with a sales promotion in a Supermarket some years ago.   I looked around a car and asked the girl where the dealership was so that i could test drive one and she said ''Oh; no test car, people just buy '' .   I replied ''Sorry; no test drive, no buy !

Seems to me that a lot of the Chinese have come to live here and not just as Tourists.   Everywhere we go around Chiang Mai these days it's Chinese jabbering away around us, normally loudly, even in the Banks !

If things don't change they will stay the same !

I suggest they start "Anger Management Courses" under the supervision of some mental institutions...it is really needed!!😆

Waste of time; the Lunatics are running the Asylum !

I can see it now; the Men dragging the Women to the bedroom to pop another one in the oven and get the extra 200.   Thai Governmants are nowt but Jokers !

The only thing that will sort Thai Drivers out is Mass Lobotomy....all else has failed !

When you walk into the Pub there may be the ugliest Barmaid or Hooker you have ever seen but after ten Beers they become the most beautiful Girls you've ever seen !

Hey; this is Thailand, where getting an 'apology'  from any Company ,Government Institution or other Organisation is a massive breakthrough in itself !!
