Noon on a one-way road?

Amazing ability to end one's life.

 the other motorbike was coming from the wrong way as it is a one-way road.

 

When people have asked me if Thais drive on the left or the right I've always answered 'Yes'. It's usually but not always motorcycles, and they drive on whichever side of the road they consider most convenient for them. I live on a road with no divide in the centre as an 'excuse' for them, and a large percentage of motorcycles use the wrong side for no reason at all other than a lack of self-discipline.

rip. i do not believe that two motorcyclists telescoping on a road is a common phenomenon in other countries. but in thailand, it seems to me, this is quite common. yes, amazing thailand!
