    Upon reaching a traffic stop, Atithep slammed into approximately 20 cars waiting at the red light. He continued his escape despite police officers firing at the lorry’s tyres, eight of which burst but did not stop the flight. Multiple police cars kept the pursuit tight before finally cornering the stolen lorry, which had lost control and skidded onto a central road divider approximately 30 kilometres from the original theft site

    Ladies and gentlemen, *hushed tones* ... We have a winner.

  2. Similarly to the OP, thinking about spending a week (holiday) in Laos next month, starting in Vientiane.

    Never really spent much time there, only visiting the large power plant in Hongsa, where my company does regular work.

    A few questions I had have been answered in this thread. Thanks to the contributors. I will update this thread hopefully after our visit. ????

    However, the lack of safety measures around the school has been a longstanding concern. There have been several calls for the construction of overhead bridges, significant traffic lights, speed bumps, and road surface warnings to reduce vehicle speed when passing schools.

     

    Unfortunately, these calls have not yet been heeded by the relevant authorities. The straight path of route 317 encourages high speeds, resulting in frequent accidents.

    This.

  4. The social-conditioning to wear one is still strong here. Having spent the earlier part of this year in the UK and US with no one wearing masks, coming back here to see the majority of Thais wearing them seems more than a bit ludicrous, but it's just another addition to the mumbo-jumbo grab bag of local traits adopted here. (With mask manufacturers like CP still reeling them in).

    One thing that does tee me off is the volume of discarded masks by the roadside, or biffed into the nearest waterway.. Sometimes even full carrier bags of the used filthy things. ????
