By any measure Thailand is an incredibly dangerous place to get into a car. Every year about 26,000 people perish on Thai roads, a number that puts the country’s road fatalities on par with a moderate-scale war. But this carnage is at its worst during one brutal week in April when accidents, injuries and deaths skyrocket. During these seven days (the first of the Thai New Year or Songkran), Thailand, an already precarious place to drive, becomes arguably the most dangerous place on Earth to be on the road. We wanted to see what it’s like to be on the front lines of this annual crisis so in April 2015 we followed a local rescue crew for 5 of the 7 deadly days.
