TKDfella Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 What have Thais got against trees? Geez, if you're going to smash your car up choose a concrete wall eh? I jest in bad taste perhaps. I hope the injuries were not serious and the passengers recover quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We read this at least once a day. Why don't Thai drivers stop and rest if they are sleepy? I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The designated driver should not revel like the others if he is going to drive long distance later on. He should have adequate rest and mentally alert especially night driving.

Burma Bill Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Looks like a Fortuner - known here as a "Bangkok Bulldozer". Hope the injured get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
