So ........ a train travelling on a fixed track killed the teacher?

 

It wasn't the teachers fault that he drove across the tracks on his bike?

 

Even in death, blame cannot be accepted by the Thai people! Amazing Thailand indeed. ????

“Trainman 34014”

How fitting. We’re you the conductor?

 

Looks like this teacher wasn’t trained enough in school when he was younger.
