Drive through service?

another drunk. 

It is truly extraordinary how, every day, we read of drivers going into power poles. Mini vans, motorcycles, cars, lorries. Anyone. I can only assume they're magnetic.

Another presumption. 

How fast are people driving through 'town', Patong, at speeds fast enough to sustain multiple injuries, aside from knocking on a few MB & cars.

 

And a supposedly professional driver at that ... ????

Er....no. They are electromagnetic. When the van came to rest it was facing north.

Just another normal day, in safe and trusted Thailand init.

It's not a mini van it's a mini bus.
