From the cited news article: "Six victims were injured, three seriously. They were all Burmese workers and could not speak Thai."

 

No mention of a murderous Thai driver. None whatsoever.

So Burmese can drive a car in Thailand?

The driver had a licence? 2 man too many in the car.

 

Good the fuel tank wasnt leaking, as putting out fire with water.

I see 2 firefighters, no helmet, face protection, flame retarding overall's.

Just in short sleeved shirt, amazing they didnt wear flip flops.
