Thai Roads...

This morning I walked over to the local 7-11 to pick up a paper. The investigations into the bombing and finger pointing at who is to blame were still the headlines, but a small article caught my attention.

The article reported that over the New Year holiday 351 people died in road accidents across Thailand. I guess this is the type of tragic story that doesn't catch the attention of the worlds media because it isn't 'glamorous' enough.

Perhaps if the Thai government invested more into the countries infrastructure, these tragedies would be reduced, the economy would improve, leading to a more stable, less volatile Thailand.

Sorry this makes heavy reading.
