Can't imagine China allowing this to happen!

The new highspeed train between Bangkok and Nong Khai will run at halfspeed..... 😉 or they will exclude products from China and probably Russia 🙂 

What is in it for China?  What is their advantage?

What is the advantage for China?

Close the country instead of complaining every day about the foreigners!  Land of smiles? No way!

If you're friend wants to rent a bike next time - tell him to check out the travel insurance companies in his home country.  Many don't cover biking but some do.

 

All Clear's Gold policy (UK Company) covers biking and doesn't specify an engine size limit.  It also gives you £15,000,000 (GBP) worth of emergency medical cover - much more than the amounts shown in the OP's example. The policy holder must hold the correct licence to ride the bike though and must be riding fully legally in all other respects (helmet etc.)

Thai wear helmets?  You see them riding bikes without insurance with 2-6 people on one bike most of them children and nobody does something about that! Even children just over 10 years are riding  bikes and they have licenses? But your are right as a foreigner you need to be carefull as the law in Thailand is hard on them. Maybe because that is were the money is?

I suspect he would be having more than 1 month off with broken bones.

The avarage income in Thailand is 10.000 baht a month.  So 3,5 months without work?  If this was a Thai/Thai accident my best guess is that it would have been settled at max 10.000 baht in total. But it's a "thai/farang" accident. They act and think as if they hit the jackpot in the casino?  But the main thinhg here is that the farang who hired a car was mislead by the insurance he thought he had. And where is the Thai law to protect him?  I am greatfull to the one publishing this that he is warning people against another scam which can take place. Thank you!

 

I wonder what the costs would have been had this accident happened between two Thai.

"to pay the bikers loss of income as he could not work as he had broken limbs 35,000 baht.".....

suddenly he earned more in a month than all the years before...  

Another let's rip off  the "farang". It's a unlimited ATM. It does bring however more harm to the Thailand image abroad.

 

They will soon learn what the consequences are.  How can you be so s t u p i d to do such?

He must have got very sick inside as he is remarkably recovering rapidly outside the hospital.

It is however worth to be mentioned in the Guinness Book of records as: "The man sentenced to do 8 years in prison without spending one day inside, stayed his jailtime in "luxury" in a hospital, got a pardon of 7 years and after 2/3rd of his time in jail or better in a hospital bed with TV and 1st class service he was set free"

What other sentenced criminal in Thailand has accomplished this? It is a great achievement not?

Let's blame the hospital! 

Money Talks Bull<deleted> Walks does not apply here as he has the money and he walked free.

Again only losers. I wonder why people get so angry about such a fuzz.

If you believe in ghosts and are  superstitious..... then karma will hunt you down!.

It is however no matter what reason you might have rediculous that one leaves his crap for others to clean, unless karma is already at the corner of the toilet.... 🙂

What a moralistic country as if nothing happens in Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok? Is this not  just another Farang bashing?  Look at Thai Tv series......  where sex without mutual consent is considered 'normal behaviour'. What a joke this is.

Are we talking about them?

 

 

Yes they are talking about them when it was hot news, just like its happening now.  No difference.  But do you think that if one of those had been sentenced to jail time that they were allowed to have stayed in the hospital all the time and get a pardon?  in the USA?  Whahaha

I bet that the moment he is out of jail/hospital-jail, he is miraculously cured of all illnesses.

Who did not see that one coming?????  Walk free from Prison?  Why was he in the hospital all the time? He could not walk at all. I guess he will be miraculously cured next Sunday!   Whahaha what a joke.

His illness will keep in the hospital for the rest of his life?

Moralists.... riding with a complete family on a motorcycle and when lucky only one weares a helmet.  They must really love the Farangs in Thailand! Let's collect some easy money?

He advised vigilance, especially during late-night outings, as criminals may disguise themselves in various forms.

Really?

Did he spend any time in Jail at all? I thought he was in the hospital all the time?

I believe that although Thai Airways has every right to do so, it is never a wise step to take and seek publicity about passengers that post incorrect negative reviews. It will always backfire.

It is only a drop in the ocean! But better one caught then none. I always wonder why people behave like this? Where did it go wrong?

"decrease by 1-3°C for a single day.:" 

Is this caused by the PM values?

We just had a Temperature drop from +11 to -8  in 1 day a week ago and yesterday from -8 to +11 in 12 hours.  Is this really news?
