PHUKET: A bus carrying Chinese tourists on the approved route across Patong Hill towards Phuket City broke down twice today. When the bus broke down the first time, the driver suggested the 34 Chinese passengers on board walk to a sala at the top of the hill. Then as the repaired bus pulled up to collect them, a wheel went into a roadside ditch. Phuket Land Transport officials are proceeding with a plan to route all incoming buses to Patong via Karon or Kamala.

@ Steven- maybe read the article before commenting. The bus initially broke down THEN the driver managed to drive into a ditch. I don't recall that being part of the driving test. Posted by Mister Ree on January 29, 2014 18:33 |

Love it ! What wonderful driving skills.
I guess the driver cant claim brake failure as it looks like a pretty good set of skid marks coming from the back wheels.
Got to love the skilled bus drivers plying their trade. Terrifying !
