I've been driving in Thailand for about 2 years now....
I don't think the problem is "driving skill".... I'll say most Thai can drive very well.... I think its more like the lack of "traffic rule knowledge"...
You'll understand what I mean when you see how Thai use the "Roundabouts". They can go from right to all the way left in split seconds to get to their exit.
In Singapore, one has to go through Basic theory and then Advance theory before being even allow to go on public road (for practises). And in Thailand? We all know how it works....
I had similar experiences as FiP.... followings are my most hated drivers in Thailand:
1) Bus which stop in middle of the road allowing passengers to alight.
2) crazy taxi drivers.
3) talking on mobile and still driving on right lane (fast lane).
4) Truck drivers driving at 60km/hr who insist on overtaking a fellow 50km/hr truck on a 2 lane road.
5) motorcycles riding towards you at road shoulder....

No offense, but I see people who had no complaints of Thai drivers probably spend most of their time driving in up-country or something where there're less cars.... traffic hazard are probably occasional cows or dogs blocking the road?
