Basic freedoms denied, but the right to kill each other still intact

I find it very interesting that in a country where the public’s opinion is seldom listened to, where people are still forced to work in awful conditions on fishing boats and construction sites and where opposition to anything from power generation to political discussion is illegal, the government openly allows its citizens the “right” to kill themselves and others with flagrant disregard of traffic rules. It seems the one unchallenged right that citizens of Thailand have is to drive with reckless abandon and cause huge death tolls.
