Also, I urge people to stop supporting these horrible minivans and pirate-taxis. The drivers are reckless, probably high on yaabaa and cram as many people as they can into a small van to maximize profits. Don't be so stingy as to risk this shit. Take the train if you can't afford Air Asia. Runs all the time to everywhere and the cost is only slightly more than the bus. Never get into those Kao San Road <deleted>'s minivans.

Hear hear! I took three trips in minivans this year (Isaan, Pattaya, Bangkok), and all three were white-knuckle trips. Let the lemmings kill themselves, but I'm stepping outta the herd, too.

When will they learn that the helmet law is for their own good?

Experience is a bad teacher, because it gives the test first, and the lesson later.

Maybe this girl now understands the importance of helmet laws.......and giving way to traffic.....and driving without a licence......and.......and......

The girl and her family will go to the nearest temple and pray for a good ending of this event and ask Buddha to watch a bit better over the girl in the future.

"Safety First!" is a slogan that is only printed on trucks and at factory entrances, but 99.9% of the people have no clue what it means.

Thai thinking: It's not that she wasn't "safety-conscious," it happened because she was "unlucky."

To drive a motocy 100cc age is 15yrs , to drive a 125cc its 18 yrs , so she was illegal and driving with no licence and insurance no sympathy.

Should that not rather be:

Lots of sympathy for her, no sympathy for her parents?
