snoop1130 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Death Takes A Holiday: Bangkok Savors 'Boring' Songkran By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer Isadar Sinthu-aree, aka "flying pig" on his turbocharged van Saturday night BANGKOK — Behind the wheel of a turbo Toyota van called the “flying pig” for speeds considered fast even by first responders, Isadar Sinthu-aree settles in for a long night’s patrol of lower Bangkok. He’s the only full timer packed into the pig, along with five volunteers and a reporter for the second night of Songkran, a long holiday known for hedonistic revelry and excessive road fatalities. The seasonal accidents and violence that draws volunteer rescue teams can make for harrowing nights, but Saturday provided the other extreme – uneventful boredom.

Krataiboy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Yeah, there's nothing more boring that not having lots of dead and dying road casualties to take care of. While Bangkok yawned, of course, the usual Songkran carnage continued everywhere else. Edited April 17, 2018 by Krataiboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
