I therefore wonder about the quality of the repairs and whether the buses are actually roadworthy. How many of them have crashed twice, I wonder ?

A School bus trying a dangerous overtaking maneuver has crashed into the trailer of an 18 wheeler truck travelling in the opposite direction. All 12 children on board have survived with injuries whilst the driver of the bus, a 50 year old Thai Lady named Ladda Leuangpramuan, later died in hospital.
The footage of the crash was caught by the dash-cam from a vehicle close behind, who managed to avoid the accident. It shows the bus trying to overtake whilst travelling at high speed. We have uploaded the footage to our Facebook.
The young students involved suffered several injuries to the head, legs, and arms, some worse than others, and were all taken to 2 local hospitals to be treated.
Police and emergency services were quickly onto the scene, where they found that the driver’s side of the bus had been completely ripped off and was left in the left hand lane of the road, whilst the bus had veered off into a roadside ditch.
The driver of the 18 wheeler suffered no major injuries, and is now co-operating with police to help with their investigation into the incident.

16 Indian tourists injured in bus crash in Phuket
https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif
Sixteen Indian tourists were injured after a tour bus ferrying from Karon to Kata beach crashed into a concrete barrier in Phuket this morning.
The tour bus was descending a hilly road when it developed brake failure.
As the troubled bus approached a sharp curve, the driver decided to ram the bus to the barrier in bid to stop the bus and prevent it from going down the hill.
The bus flipped over with its side on the concrete barrier.
Rescue workers and police arrived shortly afterwards, and rushed all the injured to Phuket hospital.
Nobody was killed in the incident.
The driver was booked for reckless driving.

About time. In this case, "brake failure" seems to result in being charged with reckless driving.

“The driver, Theerapong Thanrot, said he drifted off to sleep while driving. The van hit a sign for Srinakarin Hospital before he brought the van to a stop on the grass beside the road,” Capt Manop told The Phuket News.
“There were no injuries in the accident and Mr Theerapong was fined B500 for reckless driving,” Capt Manop said.
With the van stuck beside the road, Mr Theerapong called another van to pick up his passengers so they could continue their journey, he added.
Benjamaporn Phansa, Manager at Phen Phet Visa Run in Chalong, Phuket, confirmed to The Phuket News that her office was aware of the accident.
“Thankfully, everything is okay right now and the passengers have continued their visa run to Penang,” she said.

But the driver challenged police to check him out and even denied that he was driving at the time of the accident. He said it was a mate of his behind the wheel called Chatchawan who was driving. He didnt know his surname.
Punayawee said that Chatchawan fled the scene of the accident.
He admitted that earlier he had collected 13 tourists from Pak Nam Ta Pee then another 33 at Phun Phin station and was taking them to Bangkok.
Then his mate took over the driving, he said, but being unfamiliar with the road he had an accident at some road works then fled.
But the tourists told a different story. They said Punayawee had been guzzling beer all the way and the bus was swerving from side to side and going too fast at times.
