Bangkok Barry Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just imagine if they buried the cables as they do out there in the real world, instead of erecting these nasty, dangerous poles that act like magnets to any Thai-driven vehicle...

Welcome to Thailand! Please chose your coffin in the minivan parking lot. Do you have any last words to say before we go?

Confuscious Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Looks like Chinese people are in the demand now. Extortion, Minivan accidents. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As often as they run new lines for Internet there would be digging everywhere all the time. FYI, the poles are not the problem. The problem is stupid driving or lack of driving skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Another van crash....and that van was'nt going along at 80! Thankfully no fatalities yet....and we'll never hear of those that passed in a hospital.....but anyway, again, nothing will come from this crash! How many other vans crashed this past few days?

Is that something that occurs in your home country? I know where I'm from there would be no news (in most occasions) about someone dying days later from an auto accident.

It's the bends that seem to be the problem for drivers here. Taking a driving test at 20 km/h is pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I quit riding these mini vans, after too many close calls getting from Bangkok to Pattaya, or Hua Hin. Now I only ride the large buses of a couple companies, or the BKK airport to Pattaya or Hua Hin scheduled buses. I feel safer on the large buses that have 2 drivers.
