FredNL Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Taking a bus or mini van in Thailand is more frightening that any roller coaster ride anywhere in the world. With a rollercoaster ride you always know that you will get back safe... Sounds to be good for a commercial: Tired of all those rollercoaster rides? Scary stuff ??? Come to Thailand and get on a bus or mini van. It will really wet your pants !!! Edited April 15, 2017 by FredNL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigPig Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) You can't possibly expect someone to blame the driver, he has the appropriate license and would lose face if someone blamed him, Thainess, lack of responsibility and realisation of consequences. Fines and other repercussions are supposed to be a deterant, not no can not, no have money enough, make smaller then OK. And of course the enforcement should not be about making money. What do expect when they have to buy their own guns, motorcycles etc. They are ONLY there for the money they can make! And of course the tourist areas are far more lucrative, so they pay all the money they have to get there, then they are already on the back foot as they have to re-coup that money to start with (don't say they can't look ahead or have forward planning), and a percentage of the money has to go "upstairs" so you keep your job! Don't critisise the police for this it is just the system..... Article 44 Edited April 15, 2017 by RigPig Just thought I would add the last line...

NamKangMan Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) 10 hours ago, hansnl said: It is all about checks and control by authorities. If the owners and drivers get no "push" to really do something about safety, then money and only money will be the business guide. In fact this can be seen anywhere else in the world. No checks, out goes safety. Safety is expensive. "It is all about checks and control by authorities." - who are all about maximum "tea money" in, for minimum work output, therefore, safety goes out the door, and people die. The whole judicial system here (the checks and controls) is corrupt to the core. Edited April 15, 2017 by NamKangMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
