When emergency responders arrived they found a minivan off the side off the road in a deep ditch. Eight tourists and two Thai had all sustained injuries – some just scratches, some more serious. Two of female tourists had sustained head injuries. Those two were taken to the Plai Phraya Hospital while the rest of tourists were transferred to another minivan.

another idiot driver, when are the police actually going to do something about these idiots , always nothing happens. The police need to start prosecuting these drivers and ensuring that people using the vans & drivers are safe and qualified

Usual sad story, no enforcement and little to no consequences !!

Until they address that it will go on and on and on. 

Real harsh measurable consequences to an action are needed to send everyone a clear message.

lucky kids...    very lucky... this could have been so much worse... 

 

Once again, the lives of innocents is placed at risk by a careless idiot.

 

It's not that incidents such as this occur that is so alarming, after all, someone will be along soon to point out that accidents happen in every country.... Its that incidents such as this occur in Thailand with such frequency it really is becoming more and more obvious that those in positions of decision making power either have absolutely no control over safety and policing of Thailands roads or they just don't care....

Another coffin on wheels bites the dust. At least their trying to do the right thing in Bangkok by taking all those over 10 years old off the road. Bring on the 20 seater buses.

I agree with your sentiments but drivers can fall asleep just as easy in a 20 seater bus as they can in a minivan. Particularly so if they are on the same medication.

They were only farang tourists. Nothing much to worry about. If they were Chinese tourists, a different story. The PM and Big Joke would be competing with each other for the biggest and the best grovelling apology headline.

Yes, and no. They take the "medication" to avoid it.

And as soon as the "medication" wears off the lights go out.
