Lucky he crashed where he did.

Had he gone further, towards Sisaket and fallen asleep, there may well have been other vehicles involved, and further carnage on Thai roads.

Fell asleep at the start of a long drive...that's planning or intoxication?

They had the best amulet protection.

Lucky he wasn't speeding

Same same time to move on . Not for them obviously , just the same carnage.

Again proof that Thai's don't get enough sleep.

Last time he drove to Sisiket there was no tree there, so it can't be his fault. He only wanted his 40 winks

I know it has been cut about by emergency services, but that looks one hell of a mess, both very lucky!!

They say that Thais can sleep anywhere, any time. It's a pity that so many do it behind the wheel.
