The Bangkok Post reports the Thai Central Bank admitted today it intervened in the Thai Baht and appreciated the value, although it happened faster than they thought. Seems this is an intentional strategy and the impacts on tourism have been considered.... -

BREAKING NEWS School Bus Fire Claims Multiple Lives and Injures Young Students in Rangsit
(1/3) BREAKING: Just before the fatal bus carrying 44 students and teachers caught fire in Pathum Thani, it had sideswiped a black Mercedes-Benz that was traveling from Rangsit to Bangkok in the far right lane, shortly after noon on Tues. (2/3) The insurance agent for the Mercedes revealed that the bus was moving from the middle lane and veered into their lane. It's believed this happened at the moment when one of the bus's tires exploded. This caused the Mercedes to hit the center barrier and scrape along it for abt 100 meters. The Mercedes driver quickly braked. The driver quickly exited the vehicle. Meanwhile, the bus continued for about 400-500 meters before catching fire. https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1841070198130163982 -

The grinning <deleted> in the middle should be ashamed of himself as should all the other photo opportunists. -

Horrific story, but unfortunately not that surprising. The buses often have a cloud of black smoke that would rival a coal power station. Somethings not right with them to be outputting that much black smoke and decent safety standards would save lives in tragedies like this and the deaths caused by the air pollution. -

Value for money
Foreigners and westerners rarely get a good deal in Thailand as they are usually cheated and overcharged. -

BREAKING NEWS School Bus Fire Claims Multiple Lives and Injures Young Students in Rangsit
“It is not only in Thailand but these naked bus chassis are sent to all the bus body building companies around the world and the bodies are all locally built in those countries. These bus chassis have an electrical control panel located in a box located alongside the drivers section that is accessed from the outside of the bus.” that is quite correct. Many countries just imported the chassis with engine but without hub and body. This is cost cutting as well as custom fabrication according to various countries’ regulations. I was appalled by the interior material construction of the buses in Thailand and Malaysia which I am familiar with. Thin side walls made of inflammable material and carpeting.seats too. It is a firetrap in the making. Ever notice how the bus carriage sheared off completely from the chassis upon a rollover in an accident ? there is no safety cage concept in bus construction in countries like these. safety belt is all they can offer and even that, sometimes you find them not in working condition. -

Feel sorry for AN posters who bought electric
We're O&A more than most, I think, and have used about 50 CS (public Charging Stations), in 23 months, and only 1 was inop. Simply went to the next one down the road, think it was 12 kms away. Before you ask, have yet to Q up, and wait to plug in. One was full when we arrived, but before we had time to check the app for next available, it was free to use. And we've traveled weekends, long weekend, as far north as Chiang Mai, and south to Betong, Yala, east to Trat, and most places in between. Only made it to Nong Bua LamPhu (furthest) in the NE.- 1

Exactly 100%! But @ujayujay does not understand such things. They do what they want here, and just because of a blow out and the bus stays on the road, that should not cause an explosion as you post. What the reason is, can be like you post, but can also be bad maintenance or crappy build. -

And so what? My wife pays big fat zero for gas. She gets refunded in full every month by her company. Also insurance. One of the reasons why she won't switch to electric. Charging at home is not a reality for many. -

Two Friends in Drunken Dispute: One Knocked Unconscious After Argument Turns Violent
In Thailand, I always tend to avoid any mouthy, loud, drunk foreigners who seem to loose their heads and think they rule the place. They are usually source of trouble. -
