PHUKET: Three Chinese tourists suffered only minor injuries when the airport passenger van they were travelling in levelled a streetlamp then slammed into the supporting pylon for a large sign on the bypass road this morning (Dec 30) after the driver fell asleep at the wheel.

 

Police were called to the accident scene just after 7:45am, explained Lt Viroj Pornprapaprit of the Phuket City Police. After being informed of the accident Phuket Town Police Chief Col Theerawat Liamsuwan was also soon at the scene.

 

Officers arrived along with Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers and a medical team from Bangkok Hospital Siriroj to find the van, registered as part of the Phuket Namfa Transport Co Ltd fleet, with heavy damage to its front.

Having to have professionally avoided actually killing any of the Chinese tourists, these cretins seem to think that this is a tourism success!

The fact that the Chinese will go home and, no doubt, spread the word that Thailand is still "death on a budget" seems to completely elude the "authorities"!

23 year old doesn't have enough driving experience to be taking passengers imo. 

I want an old man taxi who has survived at least 3 decades on the chaotic roads of Thailand.
