No. Thais often seem to do things to the max - driving as fast as they can no matter the conditions, playing music at distorted volume, extreme violence as in kicking in the head when someone is already helpless on the floor. Why that is, I have no idea. Possibly because for much of their life they feel so repressed by the rigid social ladder system that when they have their moment of 'freedom' they over-react.

Less than a kilometer from home , she said. He was in a rush to get home. But it seems the motobike rider was going the wrong way .  Nice folk the Thais but have very little road sense be it in cars or bikes.  Wet or dry.

As a rescue worker volunteer you'd think hes seen enough to know speed kills.

He obviously wasn't hanging around.

And not wearing seatbelt obviously. What a stupid way to leave this world!

Not engaging the brain when driving typical of all Thai drivers must be first to take & first to finish.

Yeah, despite the apparently peaceful and demure wai culture, there's no real experience in fine tuning responses - it's either all or nothing.

And the nearby power poles breathed a sigh of relief. 

RIP to the fella but this sort of incident happens every hour here.
