That's 2 accidents the day after the governor promised that Chinese tourists were safe in Phuket ?

Foot in mouth again and oh s*** further loss of face! Will 'they' never learn?

They laughed when the lady in the last row had 163 shrimps at the buffet. They're all thanking her now.

Just hope she didn't have an upset stomach, needing an evacuation, or all the weight would suddenly be at the front.

I told you you just to blow the bloody doors off...

A little tip for the driver. Gearing down will slow the bus more effectively than

rubbing the bus against the guardrail. The added benefit is no damage to the bus.

Don't try to tell Thais how to crash a bus properly buddy, they have been crashing buses since before you were born ?

 Now that I know the location .... not such a short hill.  Not the first time there and not the last.

 

Driver talks about rubbing the barrier to slow down. There is just a few meters of barrier n that stretch. No help at all.

Probably helped him wake up.

There is no point and comment on accidents+++ in Phuket anymore, the Government and Police of Phuket is incompetent and has no empathy or understanding what security is, they are completely useless only bla bla blaaa.

Now heres a thought, did the police check if the driver had been drinking, or do a pee test?

Probably not, just accept the drivers pathetic excuse, he was driving down hill in a high gear, riding the brakes until there was no air lef.t

 

Why would the police check for alcohol and / or drugs when the driver is part of a  "family" that is is either owned, or managed, by the authorities here?

 

Why do you think he got the job in the first place? 

 

It's all interconnected here, with NO justice for criminal behavior, or negligence for those involved in these incidents.  

 

It's all in the family, and there are only about 12 large Thai families that own / control the whole of Phuket, including the police service here.
