Forty one men in a van! But Thais miss out on Guinness record!

[saminoz]

Thailand fails in so many areas mainly due to the poor education system, backward culture and corruption.

Take the lack of road education, almost invisible driver training, the ability to advance your driving career through a back-hand payment and you get the inevitable carnage on the roads due to hundreds of thousands of untrained, unqualified, inexperienced operators who, almost certainly, bought their way into the driving seat.

Now extrapolate that across the educational, political, judicial, religious and para-military systems and you  now have a believable explanation for 99% of the woes of Thailand.

Awesome.

Yup but not good for the image of Thailand...and even after the Officials were told to make the roads more safe ASAP.

 

This movie was already in the online newspapers in Europe yesterday.

 

They caught them, so maybe the officials were actually doing their job don't you think?

After counting them out of the van, the police then loaded all 41 onto the back of an Isuzu pick-up and drove them to the local gaol.

 

Where they all shared a 3m x 3m cell.

Oh of course it will. It will just take longer. Stop making up stuff.

Down hill with a tail wind anything is possible.

30 years ago we referred to these Toyotas as bongo vans...

 

 

...still living up to that image 

Never heard this term; but seems about right.

I wonder if each was charged only a third of the regular fare or full price.
