The upper part FELL OFF...

 

Safety first most definitely does not exist in Thailand...   Thai as a whole do not care about anything...except themselves.....

Funny, in a strange way, when you see signs at every construction site saying that safety is their first priority. Obviously safety is something totally different to what I thought it was.

I recently passed a lorry that had Safety First written on the side. There were two men sitting on top of the driver's cab. Ignorance and idiocy knows no bounds here. It's not only down to a lack of education. It's a total lack of common sense. It is completely absent in Thailand for some reason. Very strange.

They care just enough to put those large signs up outside the construction site.
