I fail to see where any reply on the OP relates to your perceived 'racist predudices'.

Poor maintenance is possibly the cause of the failure. The state of trucks in Thailand is disastrous. The vehicles are often extremely old and there seem to be no technical checks, to ensure that the vehicles are kept in good condition.

I saw firsthand a (smaller) truck experiencing a breaks failure in Bangkok, at a traffic light, and wrecking two cars in the line next to mine in the process. 

Smaller trucks may not have airbrakes.

If he was on the phone or asleep all possible,the excuse is failed brakes  and works just as well
