Around 1:15 pm  driving to Patong, amazed to see a pick-up on its roof at the exit of the Caltex gas station in Kathu, does anyone have any idea how the driver managed to pull such an amazing feat?

I should have stopped for a photo. Anyone have a picture?

Easy he experienced Thai pickup driver and was after lunchtime.

Sorry no pics.

Not my photo.   I believe 3 injured, 1 seriously.

Here's one from about a year ago, Lamphun Road Chiang Mai near the Nong Hoi market. It's impossible to do more than 40 km/hr there, the female driver apparently claimed she fell asleep. No other vehicle involved, SMH.

Young boy died. RIP

I know I'm blowing smoke here in Thailand, but a car seat would have saved that boys life.

So would careful driving.......and the excuse given was:- the driver suddenly lost control of the truck which spun and overturned.

What nonsense. Very difficult to suddenly lose control if driving carefully and in the speed limit.

 

RIP young lad.

Those drivers must be very experienced and expert mobike riders.

Kind of did a wheelie by habit, I guess.

Just a few meters from the junction. Hard to know how he could drive so fast, I know that junction very well. 

It's tough driving slowly in a straight line in the most perfect daylight possible.  Sometimes you just flip the car.
