I rode in a Thai Tuk Tuk when I was in Bangkok many years ago. Likely the scariest thing I ever did. If it's gotten appreciably worse in the decades since I was there 30,000 dead would seem to be a conservative estimate. I think an appropriate vehicle for Thailand would be a Toyota Land Cruiser or a Hummer.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
