It's been pretty crazy, and haven't managed to save a lot of cam video, although we covered most of the eastern side of Thailand by car.
After a few days of travel we make it back to our 'home turf' in Nong Bua Lamphu province, and we have the joys of driving HWY 210 every day. (East/West route acrosss several provinces.)
Motorbikes with no tail lights, or no lights at all are the norm. Big trucks with no lights, or no tail lights, doing 20 mph on a pitch black road are the norm.
Passing where it's not physically possible is the norm. (while flashing your high beams to warn oncoming traffic to get out of your way)
I also put a very old dashcam in the pickup truck of a relative of my friend, who doesn't own a computer, or smartphone, or have any idea how to view the video, but he thinks the dashcam is needed. (Since he has no insurance)
He does have a collection of Buddhist good luck trinkets in his car to protect him.
Here's a turned over large truck we saw on the first day we were in this area. (didn't save the first two days of video.)
It was interesting to see the process and time frame to move this wrecked truck. (Over 3 days)
It sat for a day with another truck attending it. On the second day they had an army of workers unloading the trailer by hand, and stacking up the boxes of whatever frozen stuff was in the trailer. I assumed they would reload it into another refrigerated truck, but the boxes sat on the road for another day.
On the third day a crane arrived.
I wasn't all that interested, but we passed the damn wreck 2 times a day, anyway. It looks like the driver ran off the road on a very slight curve.
Here's a truck with no lights on the rear, at night, maybe 10 miles west of the wrecked truck. There is another slow truck ahead of it. When we finally get to the 4 lane section, the truck with almost no lights decides he needs to overtake the other truck. (They're doing maybe 25 mph)
