Thread: Thai Baht Bus Crashes in Injuring 16 Singaporeans Tourists

Sixteen Singaporean tourists have been injured, five of them seriously, when their Baht Bus skidded off a road in central Thailand. All the injured passengers were rushed to the provincial hospital in Sing Buri.


Rescue workers from the Ruam Katanyu Foundation arrived at the scene to find a baht bus on its side in a ditch.


Police said that the tourists were taking on a tour of a church and Channasoot local market, where a Christmas celebration was being held.

They were on their way back to their hotel when the accident occurred. Police, said that the bus driver had apparently tried to avoid a collision with another vehicle. The vehicle was travelling in the opposite direction, but the driver lost control of the bus and ploughed into roadside bushes. The baht bus ended up on its side and the Singaporean tourists were scattered around the crash scene.

Police are investigating, the Baht Bus driver was tested for drugs and alcohol by police. The results were apparently negative.

The driver staying at the scene indicates he must have broke a leg too

16, baht bus, how many are those things licensed to carry?

Just as well they weren't Indians, there'd be 40 of 'em scattered around.

Thailand. Still transporting tourist as though they were farm animals.

I rather think the Pattaya-Jomtien-Naklua conurbation with a population approaching one million and hosts over 8 million tourists annually is the only city in the world that has no municipal bus service.

A vivid insight into not only civic incompetence but a testament to the strength of the existing mafiosi using pig trucks and unmetered taxis.

Singapore in 1966 had a pan island network of bus routes servicing every single kampong, village, district and neighbourhood.

Pitiful place, truly pitiful.

SPGs are no where near as much fun
