rooster59 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Bus crash killed two, injured six in Krabi Two people were killed and six others were injured when a tour bus crashed into a pickup truck at an intersection in Ao Luek district of Krabi province on Friday night (March 23). The double-deckor tour bus, belonging to Chanasit Tour Co in Phuket, was on the way to pick up tourists at Krabi international airport. The driver, Udomsak Thongorapglgasri, 40, drove the bus to the airport from Phuket, taking his family who included his wife, 3-year-old son and 3-month-old daughter, and a busboy.

BEVUP Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 It's a shame that these innocent lives are being taken. I certainly hope it wasn't the bus that wasn't paying attention as the driver lost a child By going of the past week alone Thailand will certainly keep its ranking , but wouldn't take much if they took more care to lower it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Probably, from the report, one of the drivers was just doing the usual Me First thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 So it seems one the vehicles ran the red light. Usual everyday Thai driving. I was at a local in town intersection last week leading out of a 'minor' road in to the main road. I was there for over 5 minutes before I was able to move. Jump the lights??? It looked as though most of them didn't even notice the lights at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Why bring 2 3years old kids if you're going to the airport to pickup a group of tourists? Those buses even don't have kiddychairs, in fact i 've never seen those in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is only the lead up to Songkran. Imagine what it's going to be like when they really get serious. Incidentally the official start date of Songkran is..... Friday 13th There should be a frantic rush for high quality amulets prior to the big day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be charged with manslaughter for seating a child at the front of a bus with no seat belts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Know that the lights are there,,,,Care factor 0 ,,,, we have a few crossings like that,, minor onto main road ,, They drive Straight thru , one has to force oneself onto the road when the light turns Green.
