Katipo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 That stretch of road is relatively safe, being without the sharp curves of the Thong Pa Phum - Sangklaburi part. I am not suggesting the driver was at fault, but the driver was probably at fault. RIP to the victims, who no doubt came to Thailand to provide a better life for their families' back home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Fifteen in a pickup truck makes a mockery of the implementation of rules governing seat belts and passenger numbers in this type of vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
