Its strange the crazy things you see in thailand, and just except it as normal, ive seen 5 on a motor bike many times in phuket, and do you know how easy it is to stop it? you do what they did in pattaya enforce crash helmets for driver and passenger,police fines if not, when you get a motor bike taxi now in pattaya the driver gives you a spare helmet,but back in phuket you see 3 up all the time on bikes where its only the driver that has to wear a helmet,
The other crazy one i see is the pick up truck with about 10 in the back(hilux) not to mention the lorrys with all the burmease workers in the back!
Now both of these anywhere in the world exept Africa and Asia and maybe South America you would be sent to jail! You try doing this on the M4 or M5 in the uk, maybe the western world is too health and safety or is it life is seen to be worth less in the developing world?
