What's next blaming the radio because it played loud music. And wait a year, as next new excuse to deny their fault, they start saying passengers were too quiet maybe even sleeping, making driver to fall a sleep as so silent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non per "cercare di evitare la responsabilità" ma per "evitare di ammettere di aver sbagliato". Hai mai sentito un thailandese dire: "Lei/tu hai ragione, io avevo torto!" ?

jesimps Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 It was the same route in a minibus some 16 years back which made me swear never again to use one. I never have. If I can't travel by car or plane, I just won't make the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ah well, here in patong at least it makes a change from the brakes fault... some one should sue those pesky brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycallahan Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 What a coincidence - the driver crashed at the exact same time that a passenger thought they were about to crash. The draft dodgers might be safer back home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webfoot Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have used the minivans in Thailand in the past. Let’s just say I will never use one in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi49jr Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Thai minivans remind me of the ‘taxi brousse’ in West Africa. These cars (often old Peugeot 504 Familiale) usually have one driver and nine passengers. They also have a disturbing nickname: “neuf morts, un blessée’, which means nine dead, one injured. Accidents often result in all passengers being killed and the driver more or less seriously injured. I’ve spent quite a few hours in both, almost always with tightly clenched buttocks. I’m still not sure which is worse, the Thai minivan or the taxi brousse in West Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpkin Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 So many injuries, so wondering if the passengers were wearing seat belts ? Doesn't prevent all injuries but often reduces their severity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1964 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 What do you expect with Russians? Ill mannered, rude and aggressive. Too dumb too have thought to simply tap the driver on the shoulder and ask, "You okay"? Mind you, was lucky wasn't a gun toting Soviet, or they would probably have shot the driver.

Yep its a shame the governing junta have only 'Despicable Bunch #1 and #2" to cosy up to for inward revenues. Selling souls to the devil will not work out in the long run. Sadly the corrupt Thai government and their cronies will do anything to line their own pockets and retention of 'puppet regime' power, without regards for it's populace nor future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
