So yet again time for baseless criticism of the driver and an appalling reason given by the police.
THis was a long week-end there are bound to be a lot of minibuses on the road
-Were they in a hurry? Had they encouraged the driver to make up time?Was the vehicle road worthy?Was the surface of the road up yo standard?.. almost certainly not!
Was there an effective barrier? - to this last one , one doesn't even have to look at the scene to say NO!!
I don't think I've seen a single piece of Armco or proper barrier set up anywhere in Thailand - basically if a vehicle leaves the road the only things to stop it are either concrete or trees - neither of which are of the remotes use to an out of control vehicle

Get real man, its the bloody driver.
Ut's sad even frightening to see the lack of understanding by some posters here.It makes you wonder what the accident rate is amongst expats, who clearly know nothing about either drivin or road safety.
expats don't know how to drive? really? Most of us have had to go through proper training to get our license, my wife (Thai) doesn't even have a DL but drives every day. Thai driving is just plain scary! To me it seems like they think they are the ONLY ones on the road, not looking before pulling out, driving either way too fast or way too slow - most can't even keep their cars within the lane I think some think the yellow line is supposed to go in the middle of their cars
Obviously sick.
