steve187 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 RIP, just another minibus faster than the brain of the driver incident, unfortunately on this occasion results in death and serious injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro69 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Well here we go again, saw those idiots so many times oncoming in my lane...This time he forgot that an 18 wheeler does not move, because he does not have to. Brains of both drivers would probably not qualify to get a engagement in a monkey cage @ any zoo. Sorry for the girl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAIBKK Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thai philosophy: Blame it on the Chinese tourists. If they didn't have come to Thailand, they wouldn't be involved in the accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxboy Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Do Thais even learn about 'stopping distances'..? Tailgating seems to be the norm here.. along with lane changing, red light jumping, texting, etc.. you've all seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T I T this is Thailand Agreed but it is more than that. The people don't care. For every picture and piece of video we see of these awful events so do the Thais who are causing this chaos. But they just carry on regardless of the carnage and loss of life. T.I.T indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Dude Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Looks like the Chinese tourists are now increasingly the cannon fodder for the minivan/bus/taxi carnage fodder. Just waiting for them to start throwing themselves off balconies in popular tourist spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Reading the article, the minivan was behind the truck. The truck was slowing or was stopped and trying to make a u turn and the minivan hit the back of the truck. Minivan driver speeding crazily and not paying attention? Didn't notice the truck in front?
