Will there be a post mortem into the death of the chickens?

Getting even more interesting that TV consider that the reporting of the death of 2 chickens will increase the level of exposure to the ads of the sponsors. Amassing indeed.

No they have been cremated on a cart at the side of the road.

They didn't even get to know why they wanted to cross the road.

Ran over a snake on the road today. Dead as a dodo. Should have filmed and posted it, maybe got headline news. Also as gripping, squashed a gecko in my sliding door.

Terrible accident. Sad loss for the families of the two chickens.

To be fair  those recently departed furry friends were not crossing the road. It could well have been the the driver of the motor cycle and sidecar decided to adopt normal Thai behavior and undertake a vehicle by using the hard shoulder.  Unfortunately, as is the norm for Thai motor cyclists, there was another idiotic Thai riding on that same hard shoulder against the traffic flow. Now whilst illegal, even by Thai laws, it was stupid, but there again perfectly normal.. But as we know Thais need to impress their stupidity at driving at every available opportunity. The result was an impact of the motorcycle and the motor cycle and sidecar. The chickens apparently were just passengers in the sidecar and hence perished.  So to reinforce the safety, and in some way help safety due to the stupidity of Thai motorcyclists, I propose that all chickens riding in sidecars must from now on wear seat belts.

Wait until someone hits an elephant in the road.

 

One afternoon many years ago I was riding my motorbike down soi Siam Country Club in Pattaya. As I went around a corner, there was an elephant being led across the road, right on the bend. I narrowly missing hitting it.

I could just imagine the insurance claim form asking: Explain how the accident occurred.

Sending them there, I'd suggest they were more likely cremated.
