There are also private ambulances in Thailand, as is usual here. Patients are assisted by vehicles of companies providing healthcare services, patient transporters, and private ambulance operators. However, in the Asian country, service is more lax in this area as well. Practically anyone can pretend to be an ambulance if they have a pickup truck, even a flatbed truck will suffice.
It’s a bit like a courier service, where the patient calls the number and the private ambulance speeds up as quickly as possible. Owners also helped reduce arrival time by tuning the engine. This custom spread and then turned into a competition that is no longer a surprise after the domestic diesel boats with giant turbines.
Locals seem to love horsepower and diesel, and they can combine the two anywhere, even in the world of ambulances. In addition to the engine performance, there’s also a stiffer chassis, with bigger brakes and wider tyres, in a Deathly Hallows-like style.
Furthermore, a separate speed-up competition is organized for these machines, where the most determined medics compare their skills. There are pieces already in service that can leave the patient at any time, and at the same time they can do 14 seconds for a quarter mile. Madness.
