ttthailand Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Always wear your seatbelt on any long distance bus or Van trip in Thailand. Should also wear on local ones if available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofarnorth Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 First time I have read of fog causing an accident , much better than rain, parked trucks , drunk drivers.etc. This excuse should be used more often . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300sd Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Never take a bus in Thailand at night. If possible never take a bus in Thailand. Trust a Thai bus driver with your life. Does he have a license? What class? What kind of training. Excuse training, leave the scene training, drug and drink training! Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie69 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've figured it out! Every time a bar fine is paid a bus crashes somewhere in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
