Getting into a Thai minivan is Russian roulette.

from Pattaya to Chanthaburi province for visa extensions

 

Jomtien Immigration Closed?

My guess a lot less crowded in Chanthaburi IO than Jomtien or 'Rayong'

The driver said he was spooked by a screaming tourist who mistook him for napping while driving.

There's a new Immigration Boss in Pattaya. Possible crackdown on illegal visa extensions and ED visas and other NON-O visas.

he was, in fact, according to him, just stooping down to pick up an inhaler that he had dropped

 

That's okay then. It tells you all you need to know about Thai drivers. He put his passengers in danger by retrieving an inhaler, because that was far more important than keeping his eyes on the road. No wonder the tourist screamed, and in true Thai fashion making it someone else's fault, he blamed the tourist for reacting to his dangerous driving.

Ahhhh.  Picking up something dropped.   That will do it.   A man crashed into my old car, because he was picking up a CD disk that he dropped on the floor.   My old car was parked in front of my house!

Must admit the thai driver must have jumped so much after hearing the scream when he was just resting his eyes.

 

Probably shouldn't have been driving the minibus though

Maybe they have 'special arrangements' there. You know, like the Chinese do where over 100 IOs have been arrested in the NE.

Are these vans insured, will the injured still have to pay their hospital bills?

This 'Bwah-ha-ha!' moment brought to you by @NoshowJones

 

Insurance? That's what gift baskets of Brands Essence of Chicken are for no? It's the Lucozade of Thailand's in-patients.

I did exactly that, ..told him to slow the **** down, he  stopped the minibus, and announced to  the 9 of us  passengers " Farang scared to die, Thai not scared to die.. you no like it, u get off bus"..........6 of us left the bus

So you're saying the six farangs chickened out?

 

Shameful.

What are Russians doing making Visa runs anyway? They are all meant to be high rollers on LTR Visas or Elite Visas. At least that is what all the butt hurt posters on Facebook say when anyone complains about the Orc Horde.

Enough of this nonsense already. The driver lost control because he was driving like a maniac or did something insanely dangerous and then the passenger screamed followed by him hitting the tree. Case closed.

Couldn’t you have put a plastic bag over his head (Ferrari Joe like) to test his Thai ambivalence towards self preservation…?  ????
