In the early hours of 14th March, a serious road accident occurred when a Bangkok-Ranong bus veered off its path and collided with a roadside power pole in Phetchaburi. The incident happened around 4:00 am on Phetkasem Road, heading towards Bangkok, in Khao Yoi district.

 

Responding swiftly, local police and rescue teams from Sawang Sanphech were dispatched to the scene. They discovered the bus with its front severely damaged and the power pole knocked down by the impact. A total of 12 passengers, including several foreigners, suffered minor injuries from the crash.

 

The injured were promptly transported to Phra Chom Klao and Khao Yoi hospitals, where they are reportedly in stable condition. Initial investigations suggest the driver might have fallen asleep, but further inquiries are underway to ascertain the exact cause of the accident.

It is no time to to travel.. Many scientists have proved that the most dangerous time is around 4 am ..... But here in Thailand there is a 24 hrs economy that has no rules, no awareness of safety and no driving skills...Just read todays Aseannow page... full of accidents, people driving while tired, or not paying attention for whatever reason, and speeding...

Wherever possible in Thailand... 

 

No Minivans, No Busses....     Take the train or fly.

 

 

Every week there is a Bus down a ravine and a mini-van spun off the road...     the frequency is astonishing.

If one must ride a public loser cruiser,  do so during daylight hours.

How dare they put them in “stable condition”.  After what they’ve been through one would think they’d deserve more than hay and water.

168 hours economy do you mean, Sunday as we know it in the western world is also foreign to them, plenty of activity on that day.

The problem is they never rest or can rest.. if there is a party or karaoke bar somewhere they hardly can sleep, because of the heat they wake up early ... look at markets very early and in daytime you see everywhere people sleep at their merchandise .. just because they are too tired... And if they drive a car they can't rest too but will drink some Red Bull or other stuff to stay awake, and than the body in resisting and accidents happens... It is a cultural thing that need an urgent change to protect people..
