Mr Meeseeks Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I will never do longer distance journeys in these vans. I survived visa runs on them in the mid-90s and numerous sojourns to Pattaya over the years, never again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to say, 'cept a normal day on Thai roads. I blame the one in front for stopping at a red light, who does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
