New Years Accident toll: 401 killed, 4903 injured in road accidents

Kinda like "Charles Bronson's "death wish"! First time I saw their driving was in 1972 in Bangkok and it scared the hel_l out of me. Worse now, makes you want to stay home, move to small town, and or just pray daily.

Hang on on a minute ! I have given in many countries around the world but I have never

experienced that exists in Thailand regarding the acceptability of breaking rules even on

multi lane carriage ways ! The fact that it's acceptable for a father with his two or three

young children on a motorbike to suddenly dart out from the middle of median strip

which is heavily planted with trees so you don't get any warning whatsoever !

Or is crazy practice of riding a motorcycle or driving a car in the opposite direction !

Convenience is one thing but while they have this lackadaisical attitude towards

transportation then don't expect anything other than shocking road casualty statistics !
