My favorite number is 8777.  It's not lucky, as in Thai language it sounds like what happens when you get the runs.  (BAT, jet, jet, jet.) But it does come up all the time.

Amazing thailand

Better to take the 180 thousand baht (CA$7214) and take some driving lessons, (speed limits, lane driving, following distance, car maintenance, etc.)  - put your faith in skill, don't rely on luck!

They are obsessed with their "lucky" numbers, the government should scrap the national lottery.

Very convenient! It spares the driver from rolling down the window and scream "do you know who I am" in the airstream.

I don't get this obsession lucky numbers - well I don't share it anyway - but if the money is used as quoted, why worry.

The only 'lucky' people are the people selling to all the imbeciles who pay for believing in codswallop or those that love to be 'posers'; and we know Thai's just love to pose !

[chuang]

Why all the fuss if others have the money to spend. ?

Should have better invested in PREVENTING road accidents.
But this is Thailand. Think about it after it happened...
