The U-turns themselves are lethal and IMO - its criminally negligent to have such - U-Turns on fast highways - of course, to make such 'U-Turn options' safer, cost comes into it and people will argue Thailand does not have such a budget to make U-Turn Bridges on major roads nationwide, whereas I'd argue that money has been pocketed.

 

Agree, I get nervous doing it in front my house where the speed limit is only 40kph (Yeah, right ...LOL), and even with a speed bump before oncoming cars at this U-Turn, we still have large SUV's and others doing 80kph over it.

Almost every major highway in Thailand allows u-turns and some of them are in totally unprotected lanes. We're talking about a four-lane divided highway, the main artery going north and south in Thailand. if I can't do 120 on a highway like that what's the point of even driving?

Learn to be aware and drive to the prevailing conditions. 

No license really just like  the thais who do the same.Look at the schools they provide parking for all the students and the bikes the parents buy helmet extra of course.But I,am sure they will have to pay a fine and case closed

Kuwait is not one of the richer Arab states. It's a dump outside this picture. 

 

Rich Arabs love Europe, especially London - this is the dream for most people around that community to head to Europe.

 

The cheaper Arab community go to Thailand.

Quite correct, Kuwait is tather scruffy in many areas. The rich ones speed around Knightsbridge in rented Lambos
