actually the problem has just solved itself. but thanks for the answers. 

@Gecko123 at the time of impact i was driving between 60-80 kmh. and the damage is minor cause in the back of my bike there is a steel carrier mounted to the frame that took most of the impact force.. it still would need quite a lot of force to bend the back of the bike up like that.

a view days ago i was driving with my bike ( honda airblade) under a highway flyover near chatuchak. in order to drive on a U-turn bridge, i changed from the left lane to the middle lane, when i heard loud break sounds and about 2 seconds later got hit by an other bike in the rear. 

 

I got away with some scratches and bruises, but the other guy (also a foreigner) claimed to have broken his leg (turned out later he didnt).

 

i talked to him, and he told me he has an  insurance that will pay for it.

 

He was asking for an ambulance and went to hospital, while i went with the police to do the paperwork. 

 

later he called me and told me his insurance refuses to cover his costs, and he has no money to pay for it too.

 

in a view days i got an appointment with the police and the other guy, and i worry he will try to make me pay for his costs, since his insurance doesnt.

(i forgot to pay my insurance for this bike too) 

 

The question is, who is reponsible for that accident?

I was asking the police for cctv recordings, but they said there are none.

 

So I can only say what i know out of my perspective:

 

I was driving on the left lane of 3 lanes and intended to go to the right one which went up on the U-turn bridge.

before i changed the lane i used the signal light and checked in the mirror if the lane was free. I didn’t see anyone in that lane nearby, so i changed the lane.

maybe a second after i heard the loud sounds of a break and 2-3 seconds after got hit straight in the rear.

 

at that time i was driving somewhere between 60-80 kmh, so he must have been driving a lot faster than that, if he couldnt reduce to my speed in 2 seconds of breaking.

 

I also assume he was driving on the left lane as well (since i didnt see him on the middle lane), and changed the lane at the same time like me. 

both bikes where sliding straight behind each other and ended up on the right side of the lane directly behind each other.

there is a long white scratch his bike left on the road, starting at the left side of the middle lane and ending on the right side.  this backs up my theorie, but i fear it wont be enough to prove it.

 

I was first convinced that it was not my mistake, but when talking to the police, they said that its probably my fault, cause i was the one changing the lane, and since i didnt see the other bike, i cant tell where he was driving.

 

I actually dont want to ask anything from the other guy. i just got minor injuries and the bike wont cost too much to fix. but i fear he will try to make my pay for his hospital costs..

 

Anybody has any thoghts on who is at fault and what i should do?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use thai health insurance for me and my family since 1 year. So far never had any problems. I made use of it about 3 times for minor issues. The card was always accepted and i didnt have to pay myself first too. The only downside for me is the low max. coverage for outpatients. In my package for 60'000 per year (including me+wife+child) the coverage per visit for outpatients is only 1000 bath. The bill was usually 5000 and up, so i got more kind of a discount rather than a coverage. So unless you get into severe enough health conditions to be an inpatient the money spent is not really worth it. But that is related to the chosen package.
I should add that im 'only' 35. So i cant say how they treat older customers.

Hi,

im the owner of a condo in bkk. The sales contract included the right to use 2 parking spaces ( the parking spaces are not allocared). I dont have a car, so i never made use of it.. A month ago an other resident of the building asked me to rent out one of my parking spaces to him. I aggreed and got him a parking sticker with his license plate nr. from the administration. 

Yesturday my wife told me that the administration had a meeting and informed her about we would not have the right to rent out the parking and i would have to come see them.  

I would like to get myself a bit better informed before i go there.

I found other posts about renting out  parking spaces in this forum, but all of them where related to residents who rented the parking space to outsiders.

This seems to be quite usual practice, but probably is in conflict with the Thai Condominium act.

But what about a resident who temporarly transfers his rights to an other resident?

 

besides that does anyone know if it s possible to change a current unassigned parking system into a allocated parking by the general meeting?

our building still has a lot of unsold units, and i find it kind of unfair if those are sold with parking rights for parking lots that simply not exist..

Allocated parking spaces would prevent this from happening.
