With a population of nearly 72 millions and buss going everywhere day and night such accidents, by statistics, are bound to happen, 

good thing it doesn't happened too often...

Crashes weekly i would guess but usually minor. Night buses are scary.

It happened at 1am so I think the most likely cause was the driver dozing off. We read that Thais can sleep anywhere, anytime, and we read often that some manage to do it when driving. That should be impossible if you are concentrating on your driving, but difficult if you have the attention span of a goldfish.

Again if you dont know then pipe up. Nationality does not depict if you fall asleep or not.

On foot, like me, by bike, scooter, motorbike, Van, bus etc... we are in danger of death every second. I always walk against the flow of traffic. Sidewalks are rare in Thailand and if there are they are cluttered with restaurant tables, scooters and so on. A little discipline please!

The investigation will probably conclude that brake failure was to blame.

The driver, if he survived will probably walk away with nothing more than a slapped wrist.

 

R.I.P to all the deceased. 

 

"The driver, if he survived will probably walk away with nothing more than a slapped wrist." Thank you Judge Judy
