This is not news, it's a normal day story.

Fatalistic Amulet- Wearing Superstition combined with Very Low Average IQ (outside Chinese Thais) and Inability to Change= “ Thai Culture” = 50,000 Dead Kids on Road ANNUALLY = National Disgrace= Acceptance & No Change. Imagine how many latent Thai geniuses are Lost each year. At least 1,000 or so…..

Law & Training are Meaningless without Safety Culture which can Never Exist here.

Medicine and Aviation here however DO have High Western Safety Standards…. But these people are top 1%.
