What could he have been doing at 3am?

Som nam na to Aerox driver. Maybe you'll learn those No Entry signs now, or the meaning of One Way (not My Way). Speedy recovery to the innocent victims.

Can someone explain the picture to me as it doesn't seem to fit the accident description?

Whatever it was, he seems to have been prepared to die for it.... I’m heartily glad that the others aren’t to badly injured... this is a good result.

Well if he had insurance I am sure they will not be paying up...

I see at least 50 per day going the wrong way 

and another 100 or so carrying 2 or more passengers

I have become used to lowspeed ,cautious wrong way drivers,but it is the drivers who speed by you coming from your backside with out any regard for children ,that makes me realize how completey lawless and shamless some thais are...and yes this is 99.9% thais..

Taxi bike got Porch stickers?

"Wunderbar" Thailand, the new TAT slogan. Can use the photo as the new Poster.
