Rotweiler Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just for the information of users of the "Yellow Songthaew" (locally called "yellow mini-car") from CM to points NE including Maekhachan and Wiang Pa Pao, there was another major accident involving one yesterday just west of Maekhachan. A yellow apparently collided with a small truck close to the Wat Pratart Maejedi road. The death toll is confirmed at three with multiple serious injuries.

Rotweiler Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 There are two types of "yellows" - one group has Wiang Kalong on the side; the other Doi Saket.

Of course, this IS Th..... and some people see "reds" everywhere... Would it be wiser to use the red ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaihog Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 IMHO Songthaew drivers probably account for at least 30% of the RTA's in Chiang Mai. They all have one thing in common, they are bl**dy useless drivers, majority of which don't have a driving licence or insurance, TIT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all taught by the same teacher NOT, probably all self taught, hoping for the best, not to have a accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotweiler Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Don't really think it makes much difference (white red, blue, etc) with one small difference - the red ones normally stick to CM and thus "normally" drive slower....

richard10365 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Red trucks, white trucks, yellow trucks.......which one of those colors requires their drivers to have driver safety classes? Seems to me you take your chances in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
