pattaya to bkk bus.  thai sitting at window seat already buckled in with seat belt (great to see) except using my seat clasp. his clasp was embedded below between seats. 1st bus attendant came over and managed to pull his clasp up so surface flush with seat and his belt could be inserted. 2nd bus attendant arrived and she had the solution. she pushed BOTH clasps into crevice below seats thus disabling both seat belts.

 

simply amazing many people watching were laughing and or shaking their heads in disbelief, the indian guy near me asked what is wrong with these people.

Life is cheap in SE Asia - passenger safety is not a high priority yet.

As road deaths are so common and our fate is preordained, no one bothers with any safety measures, Thai logic.

Roong Reaung is pretty safe. Only lost 1 (2?) as far as I know - driver hit support of BangNa / Trat highway,just after they 'come down'.

 

R.I.P. Driver - ~ 10 years ago.

 

(But pretty stupid with the belt buckles - )

The Indian guy asked a question that just cannot be answered. At least not during a short trip, Pattaya to BKK.

The beauty of this is that in her tiny mind she just solved the problem.

Yes, such lateral thinking is delightful.

Whenever I use that bus I have a fear of driving off the elevated tollway, you know, the driver falling asleep and the bus plunging over that low rail.
