The road south was completely blocked and an emergency lane needed to be opened on the inbound to Bangkok side to move traffic.

 

Despite this the media reported tailbacks of many kilometers yesterday afternoon.

Thai drivers never slow down in the rain.

Motorcyclists even accelerate out of fear of getting wet. ????

Guess they're not familiar with the hazard of hydroplaning.

OMG………ITS THE WINDS FAULT NOW………….when are they gonna admit it’s uneducated speeding drivers.

I am Thai and I want to die........

Yes indeed with storm last days and the pouring downs... accidents could not be prevented... That is easier than learn to adjust how to drive in all kind of weather conditions.. Probably they did not speed, they kept distance from each other, had good working sweepers on the on window etc etc.. Nothing to blame.. Nature did it

Think you will find its the taking of others with you that is the problem or concern.

Because I did a lot of tamboon, so coming better back.

It's a way of living and dying.

the collision in high winds and rain involved 12 pick-ups, trucks and a Bangkok to Samui tour bus.

what ?   no motor bike with 4 passengers all on cell phones / smoking/ no helmets and going the wrong direction ?

I was driving from BKK yesterday to Prachuap.... I see why so much traffic. Yes raining and I bet the first rain in sometime.

Well that's the lottery sorted out.

So no cars involved? Just trucks and a bus?

 

I knew pick up drivers are stupid I mean different….
