Driver be aware and do not assume that you are safe riding a motorbike on the crazy roads of Thailand. The odds will some day render you injured or killed.

The only safe vehicle in Thailand is a Tank. I'd rather drive from Mariupol to Kherson with a sign saying Russians soldiers are all Gay, than on Thailand highways.

Wonder how many baht the trucking company will offer in compensation ? 1000 baht a finger ? 

[Aussieroaming]

Thai's nearly all pull out on other drivers without any regards for safety and culprits include trucks, cars and scooter riders. She is a victim of Thai Driving Standards as much as a victim of the truck driver.

Break failure again.

How do you "break failure"?  That's would indicate a success, surely?

Amputation , being a surgical procedure carried out by a qualified professional practitioner , perhaps he was in 7-11 buying ice to preserve the fingers , whilst outside a hunt was underway to find the missing digits , or did they mean Severed , words , they do make difference and an English language media source should know the difference.

Best while driving a motorbike to just assume nobody is looking, paying attention or willing to show you regard, or respect. Only by extremely defensive, ever vigilant driving will you remain alive and well.

100% correct, bike or car driving. You MUST believe that every other bike or car on the road is there to harm you and be ready to avoid any harm, and dont ever get distracted

That philosophy applies everywhere. Just more so in Thailand.

I prefer to take the train when travelling in Thailand. Generally the middle carriage, on the assumption that sufficient energy should be absorbed by the locomotive and front carriages when they inevitably hit a truck or car whose driver decided to race the train over the crossing and lost. Why not the back carriage then you ask? One must acknowledge there is the odd time when another train driver plows into the back of a stationary train (which I could be on) while taking a comfort break through the side window, at the same time contemplating his last visit to a house of ill repute thereby failing to see the stop signal and the stationary train ahead.

In this case caused by break failure yet again. Or at least the failure to apply them, which in Thai is the same thing.
