DrDave Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That's a very dangerous area, particularly when coming from the east and following the lane that turns left onto Phrabaramee. So many vehicles pull out of the Caltex station into that lane without looking to see if there's oncoming traffic rounding that corner. The roadway also looks to be wet and possibly slick in front of the gas station. I'm not saying that speed and careless driving were not the primary cause of the accident, but there may have been other contributing factors as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdenner Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) One could bet dollars to peanuts the poor kid was not in a seat belt let alone a certified child's seat. The Thais can't be told, including my wife when it comes to having her 3 yo niece in her car.

The location of that gasstation is on a very bad place, in more civilezed countries such a thing would not be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, another innocent life lost to complete ignorance of the consequences - the authorities could and should be doing more to limit these tragic and unnecessary incidents. No one in positions of decision making power care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im quoting thais, whom seem to think the amulet is the almighty shield from life...am I wrong about that? I made no mention of the boy.......simply pointing out thai beliefs and thai logic....nobody said life is fair... Maybe you should go and set up a go fund me for them as you seem to be able to control the elements of life.. Do I do the standard "thoughts n prayers"? At what age is a life more important that others? Is there a limit?.. Reminder, In made no mention, nor "fun" of the boy.......I explained my comments, whether you agree or not.. Or you rather I go to the temple and repent for my "sins" you seem to accuse me of..how much baht donation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably ripped off by the force of the rolling vehicle coming into contact with ground, curb or tree. Testament to the speed it was travelling before becoming inverted?
