Totally Thai 2013

During our stay in Malaysia we crossed the border and with friends drove to Hat Yai, a city in southern Thailand. Their car insurance is rather worrying as it only covers you for an accident in which someone dies and not for injury! The roads in southern Thailand were reminiscent of the first time I visited Malaysia in 1979. Motorcycles carrying whole families with very small children and no helmets; Taxi vans full to the brim with people standing at the back, hanging on for dear life and huge open lorries with full loads of logs with people perched precariously on the top.
