PHUKET:-- A 24-year-old man died early this morning (Jan 28) when the motorbike he was riding was struck by a car that had crossed the central reservation just east of the Sam Kong Intersection in Kathu. The driver of the car is believed to have been drunk at the time.

 

Police were called to the scene, in front of a water park construction site on Phra Phuket Kaew Rd about 300 metres east of the Sam Kong Intersection, at about 5:50am, said Lt Adisorn Juhong of the Kathu Police was called at the scene.

 

Police together with Kathu Municipality and Kusoldharm rescue workers arrived at the scene to find a heavily damaged black Honda Amaze car, registered in Phuket, on its roof in the middle of the west-bound lanes.

The only safe day in Thailand is one you walk away from. 

Safety measures require forethought, planning, preparation, and prevention. These are all alien concepts in Thai culture.

Seems to me the world should initiate no bail and a full 25 years, no parole sentence to all people that kill by drink driving. Only then maybe will these idiots learn

I agree in principle, but sadly, the jails would fill up quickly and be a huge expense for taxpayers. Loss of license for 10 years might be effective.

Also, some idiots are incapable of learning and more are born every minute.
