These things happen far too often for anyone to make a stink about, less our beloved Field Marshal.

Brake failure caused by an inexperienced driver,not gearing down but using the brakes.?Overheating ?sometimes you can smell the brakes downwind,should not happen but it does.

Burma Bill Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I recently drove this route 225 from Chaiyaphum across country to Nakhon Sawan. In many places it is narrow and winds its way through valleys, mountain passes and National Parks. It can be dangerous especially if speeding with dodgy brakes.

[he's not a Prime Minister, stop referring to him as such] What are you on about? Why don't you stop referring to him using a 50 year already abandoned army rank and refer to him using his actual positions title? There has not been a Field Marshal serve as Commander in Chief of Thailand since the 1960's, the position is given to a general, and Prayut gave up that role in 2014, first handing over to Udomdej, then it was Teerachai, then Chalermchai and the most recent was sworn in last month and is called Apirat. Prayut, as head of the NCPO, has the power to name the PM, a title he gave to himself, he is the Prime Minister of Thailand, like it or not.
