Looks like they aren't even bothering now to offer up an excuse (or reason)........it's just another overturned bus.....who cares?

Looks like a wet road so the inclement weather is clearly to blame here,

Need CCTV on the road AND one on the drivers about 18 inches from their faces, showing them and the cab - and what they were doing !

Death tours Thai style.

Sadly another accident in the world hub of road accidents.

Why does the media always call these Tour buses? Looks to me like a regular service.

Been rain these past couple of days in Korat. I was out driving around last night, we had very light rain where we live but several kms away there were very wet roads and lots of big puddles. So more than likely a slippery wet road was a big factor.

Another Meth head. 

Was he tested?

"outside the Wang Poo company" That's <deleted> just like the drivers excuses.

I am surprised not to find an English language article.

Elsewhere exactly this excuse was read.

67 yr old driver wanted to overtake a big truck.

Oops road slippery.

While I have to go for a kindergarten-style childish renewal with infantile video lesson of two hours in fluent Thai after lifelong accident-free driving which I got in Europe 46 years ago! Makes sense!

Again....another one that could easily be solved if the cops took a look and see if the driver was on his phone!!  Should be putting warning signs up about being on their phones alongside their other signs / excuse "micro-sleeps" LOL!!!  ???? ???? ????
