Just remember that there are about two motorcycle rider deaths an hour in Thailand, and there were probably several identical deaths to this on the same day. This is one that just happened to make the news for some reason.

I hesitated to write that.

Sorry for another young death, mourning mother.

But will it ever change? No.

BTW total death toll is comparably low at this time, "only" 24 deaths yesterday, 70% motorcyclists (as usual).

A lot of rain yesterday so maybe more people stayed at home. Serious suggestion to explain the reduction ☹️

The rain adding up but the uncountable lock downs, domestic travel rules etc. have done a lot since months. Just think about no buses on the road for long, schools closed etc. When was the last terrible bus accident with xx victims?

This years total is 9731 deaths. That's significantly lower than pre Covid.

very sad .yet again poor thai driving standards !!!!!!
