pdogg Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Bangkok Post reports a fatal bus accident as 10 die on the Bangkok to Ko Phangan bus. Tonight, Tuesday, July 3rd is full moon party so I suppose that's where most were headed. This was not some crappy van but rather the super VIP 24 seater government bus, perhaps the most comfy bus I've ever been on. My only complaint is that here's no reading light so I was bored overnight, otherwise it would have been great. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/300790/10-killed-17-hurt-in-bus-accident Quote Link to comment
Lone Ranger Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Always sad to read news like this. I myself have traveled around Thailand by bus and have enjoyed the experience. This is very sad indeed that lives are lost this way. Quote Link to comment
TEXASMAC Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 In the Land of Smiles things like this bring us back to reality. Prayers to all Families. Quote Link to comment
mardhi Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Apparently, according to people on the bus - the driver was going way too fast for the roads and they kept asking him to slow down but to no avail. So, so preventable but little will change I am afraid. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 saw this on ThaiVisa......4 locals and 6 tourists, damn shame. Lots of injured too, agreed drivers here and in Cambo drive way too fast. Quote Link to comment
