A Motorcycle Meets A Car Door In Bangkok [Season 2, Episode 63]

Before we start, we have to mention a recent news story
from Bangkok, which is rather appropriate considering the topic
of tonight's show. You may recall we discussed traffic on episode
2.27 -- Blood on the Highway: Thailand's Seven
Deadly Days of Songkran. On that episode we
mentioned that Thailand was the second-most deadly country in the
world for road fatalities. Well, not anymore. We're
number one! And that's a good way to set up the rest
of the program, as it's all about an accident we (yes, both of
us) were recently involved in. Explaining what happened is
tricky, but it involved doubling-up on a motorbike taxi without
helmets, a possibly illegal Uber driver, three different
quasi-cops, a crazy chicken lady, and someone high up in the taxi
mafia (Probably. Possibly. Actually, we have no idea who he was).
It's a story you have to hear to understand, so listen up.
We even stuck with the theme on Love, Loathe, or Leave!
Someone told Thai drivers to turn on their hazard lights to
signal intent to drive straight through an intersection. It's not
hard to guess how we each feel about this reality of living in
Bangkok. Thanks for listening. Hit us up on
