Chiang Mai train bound for Bangkok derails

[chris1101]

Ten coaches and 80 passengers does not sound cost effective

[belg]

yes and now they want 2.2 trillion baht for high speed trains, lolllllllllllllllll

Many countries now operate tilting trains as does Thailand. One minor difference is that in other countries the trains stay on the track. How do those stupid farangs do it?

[khunron13]

Forget about the tourist baht and put peoples lives 1st. CLOSE the bloody line, indefinitely suspend all operation until the system is fixed properly. People are going to die and Thailand couldn't care less, what is a few dead farangs, more will come.

So any Thai lives that might be lost don't matter? I'm not defending the incompetence of the Thai government, but I'm just amazed how you've tied this issue to tourism. I don't have the numbers, but I seriously doubt that the number of foreigners is even close to the number of Thais who ride the train, and are infintiesimal when compared to the number of tourist who fly to Chiang Mai versus take the train.
