Additional  safety tips for travelling in Thailand........Drive yourself

 

This is exactly why either my wife or I drive wherever possible.

(obviously I can't drive at night if I'm drinking so I take a taxi).

I never use moto-taxi's, but ride a motorcycle myself - but only when necessary.

Could the deaths of 20 school children help make Thailand's roads safer?

 

Jonathan Head

South East Asia correspondent
 

Thailand is a country in shock: three days ago, 20 children and three teachers were killed when their bus was engulfed in flames.

 

It was one of the South East Asian country’s worst road accidents, and investigators have uncovered a series of safety failures which some have suggested effectively turned the vehicle into a “bomb on wheels”.

 

It has left the country - still mourning the loss of the 23 on board the bus - wondering how this was ever allowed to happen, and if it could happen again?
