At last all Thais are wearing helmets – in an exam!
Thai social media was confused after pictures emerged on Facebook of a large group of students at a north eastern university wearing crash helmets in a test.
Was this to stop the students cheating in exams, they wondered.
Or were Thais really getting the message about helmet use on motorcycles.
The truth appears to be nearer the latter.
As netizens went into collective meltdown the Rajamangala University of Technology Isan explained that it was part of a campaign to encourage 100% helmet use for the students.
They wore the helmets for just 15 minutes so that staff could check their names.
