Three Brit Lads Killed In Bus Crash In Thailand 3 Days Ago

[Card]

I felt considerable pain just to see 3 fresh faced kids about to enjoy a gap year travelling around. Then the first country they come to kills 'em. A great pity indeed.

The result of what is obviously tail-gating on Thai roads - probably the greatest cause of deaths in cars and buses on Thai roads.

Anyway, I discovered this news article in the British Press - it's all over the internet but cannot find it in the English language press in Thailand. Why is this? Has anyone found a mention of it anywhere in Thailand?

Here's link to the same story appearing in The Guardian, the source is the AFP though.

This is really sad. I think the Thai media is trying to tone down of foreigners dying here for fear that it will impact tourism. RIP to these young boys.

When these tourist buses crash it is never in the Thai press. You don't have to be Einstein to figure out why.
