With the amount of accidents in Thailand each day, with hundreds of injuries and many deaths, it is unlikely all would be covered in the media.

 

Bad reporting anyway. The Bangkok to Ubon/Ubon to Bangkok bus doesn't go anywhere near Phayakaphum Phisai. It goes along Route 24.

It was a TOUR bus not a public bus, which could mean not a normal public bus route.

Domestic tourism is up, well in this case on its side. More marvelous Thai driving.

That's because if the driver stays, it's not headline news.

He most likely has to hide until the effects of the "keep awake" drugs wear off.Then he will turn himself in and say that he panicked and ran.Same story every time.Laughable if not for the loss of life and injuries and lives ruined.

That is a word lost in translation. A word often used in company names of bus companies plying regular routes. The article even says it was a bus on a route from Ubon to Bangkok. The companybrun several routes. Including Phayakaphum Phisai to Bangkok. Check the company website. It's all on there to see.
