Thailand has one of the highest rates of road traffic deaths in the world, but its capital, Bangkok, faces a severe shortage of ambulances. The gap is filled by thousands of informal ambulances run by volunteers. These emergency responders race to accident scenes in modified vans and pick-up trucks outfitted with stretchers. Rival volunteer crews compete to reach victims first, and territorial conflicts can sometimes become deadly. 101 East meets the Thai front-line workers risking their lives to save strangers.
