Car falls down the black hole at Erawan Hotel Bangkok

Beeyootiful Thailand.

My guess is that they had both hands off the steering wheel to wai the shrine at the hotel.

There are times when it is best not to wai, driving being one of them.

Correct. Anyone who has been to Khorat must have seen the monument to Suranee, the famous female warrior. Her statue stands in the centre of a large traffic circle that is always busy. Without fail every road user whether they be in a bus, car, or on a motor cycle or bicycle will wai with both hands as they pass the statue. I would love a quid for every time that there has been a bingle or a near miss around that roundabout. I'd be filthy rich.

Yes, I've seen it and it's frightening to see so many vehicles temporarily out of control even for a second or two.

I'll add to this the regular sight on the television's Royal news of the drivers of official cars doing an ' eyes right ' and saluting as they pass the saluting dais

Maybe they are travelling slowly but it wouldn't take much for an embarrassing multiple collision.

You seem to be well versed in this term, is there something else you would like to tell us???!!!

I like peanut butter.

Glory hole?

The nearest thing that I can see for a glory hole is when the motorcyclist in the video clips falls down the well.

He really is in the sh*t

Coconuts News seems to be running with it...

Is that a dead body on the left or someone just got out the car ?

Misleadingly creative use of the descriptions "black hole" and "glory hole".

Pretty sure one describes where your money goes when spendin on the missus and the other the favorite destination of those with a flair for the anonymous.

Coconuts is deliberately sensationalist, raunchy topics for clickbait etc., they know what glory hole means

Maybe they are but in all truth I don't know what a glory hole is.

Do you care to enlighten me Jspill?
