Accident on the Suk/Ocean Marina

[SidJames]

I drove past a northbound accident this morning just after 10am-ish by Ocean Marina on the Suk.

There was a policeman their waving traffic around it & the heart breaking sight of a boy being attended to on the tarmac by the central reservation & what I can only assume was his distraght mother.

Some bikes & a black pickup were stopped by him.

Shaken me to the core to see a child like that & I do wish him & his family all the best and that it's only scapes & broken bones at worst.

A little blond haired boy.

 

If a foreign country did as much harm to people here that poor driving does it would be seen as an act of war & something would be done about it.

Could have been a heart attack. Who knows. But, definitly poor drinving, by a thai,  was to blame.

agreed.

 

i have thai friends who tell me they are afraid to visit europe because of terrorist attacks. i explain that  if they are that risk adverse they would not go anywhere near a road in thailand as it is hundreds of times riskier. they dont seem to get it. or dont want to get it. it's a very tragic and sad situation.

No Thais will care apart from the

people involved in this.

Situation normal

 

Carry on driving crazy.

Horrible driving between the norm Thai style and drunken tourists. The roads here really are a worry.

why would a road toll anywhere in the world be considered as an act of war ?
