If the driver rested for the night, I can't see how he could drop-off to sleep; perhaps the Lao Khao was too much of a temptation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also today 5 teachers were killed and 8 injured in another incident of a van hitting a tree. Again it was claimed the driver fell asleep. Taking a nap while driving seems to be coming more popular on Thai roads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll place a sizeable bet you banned the 'Sooty Show' in your house for fear the kids might think the risks which may arise from pushing a cream pie into someone's face must surely outweigh the potential risks and are surely not worth it for the titillation of a bunch of dysfunctional and pathetic children. The funniest death I remember was a lawyer, defending someone convicted of killing someone during a bar fight, he demonstrated to the jury that the dead man had shot himself as he drew his pistol. He faced the jury and demonstrated - but he also shot himself. He acquitted his client, but died from his injury. Surely nobody laughs at lawyers dying, do they?

Isaanbiker Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Three monks were found dead in what remained of the van or having been thrown out of the vehicle. Doesn't look like a van to me, but who cares. Some poor souls are now with the Lord Buddha. RIP, and a speedy and full recovery for the injured ones!

Which would tend to prove that Buddha and or any other kind of gods do not exist . It would be good that one day Humanity grows up and rejects all these false beliefs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
