The daughter would have got a proportion of the money when Mum kicked it anyway.

Bht 207 M is a LOT of money for an older lady to have sitting in the bank.

It's a lot for anyone to have sitting in the bank - $A9,000,000 (Australian)!

If I knew of a thirteen year girl involved in sex with any adult, I would report it, and to hell with anything to do with money. there are far too many perverts and paedo's about these days.

Actually, there are probably far less around now that SEA countries have significantly tightened up on the availability of underage girls and boys to adults, particularly foreigners. 20+ years ago was a different story. Kids in western countries are also far more aware of unwanted advances and more likely to be believed than in earlier times. Men will still have perverted thoughts but far less opportunity to put them into practice.

I couldn't get rid of your post and had to post inside your box!

If her insurance didn't cover her for repatriation it would have covered her hospital and medical bills, so why didn't she stay in hospital in Thailand then return home when she was able to fly? Her family could have come out to stay her bedside for much cheaper than the 73000 pounds raised.

Or add the travel insurance as part of the ticket price.

 

Airlines have much bigger clout in reducing rates for bulk buying of policies, it should be very affordable IMO.

Why should airlines care or be responsible for passengers having travel insurance? In what way are they impacted by a passenger without insurance?

You must ask yourself why his nick-name is 'Big Joke' ? I would say self exoplanetary, like so many of these fools that put on a pretty uniform with lot's of 'Pips' and work to feather there own nest's.

It could mean that he is an extremely funny fellow, the centre of every social group because of his infectious sense of humour, his spontaneous delivery of great one liners and witty retorts. Perhaps his rapier wit has made him the Oscar Wilde of the RTP. But I suspect your explanation is closer to the truth.

This incident I fail to understand why a medical Doctor  DID NOT take a blood sample after the accident , there appears to be ZERO medical reasons why it was not asked for or taken. RTP hav a lot of questions to answer . 

Unfortunately the RTP will probably not be required to answer those questions.

Why use a tranquilizer dart,  ????  Couldn't they find a brick or a steel bar to smash its skull in ?? A a spade to chop off its head, my mind boggles. 

You should apply for work in the dog meat trade in China or Vietnam. You'd be a natural.

And it is falang culture to think that way.

Falang culture would not have allowed the dogs to procreate and farang dogs don't live in the streets. They have owners who care about them. Soi dogs don't enjoy that luxury.

Generally, simply existing can upset many soi dogs.

And do not ever ride a bicycle near them.

Vermin.

The soi dogs didn't ask to be born or spend their sad lives fending for themselves. To me, the people who created their life situation are the vermin, not the dogs.

Kind of agree.....  I know so many people who will go on the back of a Motorcycle taxi without a helmet.  

The last time I went on a motorcycle taxi ?? (Samui 8 months ago !)...  I hate doing so. 

 

 

While sandboxing in Phuket (2 weeks) I actually bought a helmet and had it shipped to the hotel (I didn’t want to post my own or use a crappy rental helmet).

So often there is simply no choice but to use motorcycle taxis and take a bit of a risk.

I figured out when I started riding big bikes that in a crash my jaw would probably be broken if not shattered. So I opted for a full face helmet for safety that cost 600 dollars. Well worth the money.

Young and invincible, and caught out by the insurance companies crafty exclusions. Sand or wet leaves on a bend are an accident waiting to happen, and part time riders have no clue of this danger. Very sad she took the brunt of the accident, and on her face. At least she lived to continue her life.

A bit of realism please. No one is going to pay $600 or anything like it to be a pillion passenger on a short holiday to Thailand.

Once again no bike license and a helmet otherwise  her bones will not be broken.Health insurance that is another issue she forgot,leave it to the family and the go fund me page please help.sister had a accident we need lots of money to pay bills.Let others to pay the bills because they will feel sorry for her.No way she will be another stat on accidents and no health insurance

Why don't you read the article? She had insurance via the cc and a motor bike licence is surely not required if you are a passenger. She also had a helmet. Perhaps the problem was that her boyfriend had no licence.

one can only feel pity for her while wondering how stupid one can be by traveling without insurance!

She had insurance.
