Drivers loosing control of their vehicle is what scares me most about driving on Thai roads. 

People not paying attention is a bit scary.  As it appears driver wasn't, and only loss control after he realized he wasn't, and over compensated trying to avoid the MBs.

 

Getting rear ended (not in a good way) is scary here, especially at traffic lights.

Yes. It doesn't matter how good a driver you are. You can still be wiped out at any moment. Exciting living here, isn't it.

Thats a busy stretch of road so it must have been very early morning, I live nearby there 

 

I guess you only read the headline?
Emergency responders were notified of the accident in the early morning

Another normal day in the LOS (Land Of Smash-ups).  Glad the motorcyclist weren't killed.  Of course we'll hear this from the hospital bed of the driver - "Brake Failure."

On of the reasons I don’t ride at night (in the dark).

 

But… idiots in their phones.. or drunk / or both…

Higher probability of drunks at night.


PPL driving while on their phones is a real issue. 


Actually I liked the outcome.  No injury to the motorcycle drivers.  One less insane Thai driver on the road.

Or the steering wheel didn't work.

Looks like one of the motorbikes was abviously not interested in providing any sort of help, and bailed 🫤

Turns around and slowly moves the bike away from the immediate scene, is still there, probably parked, when the CCTV cuts off.

But at least he made the effort to avoid them. He did a good thing in the end. Everyone makes mistakes, but he made an effort to correct it.

It was some (possibly drunk or not-paying-attention) Somchai who lost control.

The driver was unidentified so why do you refer to him as a "Somchai"?

Which "Thai driver" is "no longer on the road" and where was it reported that the driver was Thai?

You know and I know, and sometimes we're wrong, EVEN YOU..

Every day I see tourists in Phuket on their illegally rented motorbikes either talking, texting or looking at their phones.  It's going to be a very bloody "high season".  I've even seen people walking across the street looking at their phones and not paying attention to the cars/bikes/buses/taxis whizzing buy.  I'm amazed more people aren't taken out. Phones should have a governor on them, if you are moving then it shouldn't work.  (in my dreams).
