Bangkok bus driver mistakes driver’s seat for boozy party
By Coconuts Bangkok

How would you feel if you looked up from your 1,017th round of Candy Crush on the bus and saw your driver, the person responsible for your life, kicking back with an ice-cold brew?

That was exactly the predicament some passengers recently found themselves in. Of course, one guy had the smarts to make a video and share it on social media so that we could all be horrified together.

Last night, a driver pulled over and bought a bottle of beer before returning to his seat to drink it casually, according to the Bangkok Post. Then, he lit up a cigarette.

While in Loei we stopped for lubch two police came in ordered food two beers and half bottle Sang Som.

Later when on our way back to hotel tere were the police driving towards us back at work. So what would you expect from the general public.

Thais never let silly rules get in the way of enjoying life.

It really is fun living in Thailand.

I don't think one beer would cause him to get drunk and crash. Sometimes I get thirsty for coffee, sometimes water, sometimes coke and sometimes a icy cold frothy.

[Rayk]

Ahhh, it's only human lives he has in his hands. No big deal in the mind of most Thais.

...problem...what problem....???

the only drawback with drinking and driving is that sometimes you spill a bit
