You would think that supercar owners have access to additional insurance that covers them for accidents regardless of who's fault it is.
most peoples 1st class insurance does exactly that

Many of us have an insurance. But all insurances have limits. And in Thailand the limits are not high.
If a poor person with a (government) insured vehicle crashes into something expensive, what will happen? The poor person won't be able to pay the full repair cost because the person is poor.
But what would happen is i.e. a farang dollar millionaire rides on a properly insured motorcycle and crashes into such car? After the insurance pays the little money which it will pay, does the rich person have to pay all the rest from his own money?
It would be great to read a legal answer about this - and not lots of speculations as usual.
In both cases
If , as one would expect, the "rich" person has first class insurance then he pays nothing other than his "excess" his insurance will cover all costs for him, as stated in his policy, that is what he pays them for. It is then up to his insurance company to recoup their losses, Their first hope is to deal with the other persons insurance company but if the amount involved exceeds that companies limit for a single incident,then they would have the option of pursuing their remaining losses directly from the person responsible, through the courts
Often not a financially viable option in the first of your examples, and probably practically impossible and prohibitively expensive in the second example you mentioned so, normally the cost will be covered by the insurance company, An incident like the that in the OP won't raise an eyebrow in insurance circles 1.3 million baht is nothing in the great scheme of things. Writing off a brand-new pickup and hospitalising all passengers would cost significantly more and is a daily occurrence,
I wouldn't feel too sorry for the insurance companies, any losses they suffer are ultimately just passed on to their customers and I dread to think what the insurance premium costs per year for a rolls royce

I could not care less what happens to him or his bank account or indeed his immigration status, its none of my business.. and he needs to understand that other peoples visa / immigration status and the way they choose to obtain it is nothing to do with him whatsoever. These sanctimonious, self righteous, self appointed, immigration commentators make me want to puke, who do they think they are, ? I bet they were not very popular in school, or anywhere else for that matter

I would say its the retirees who have no wish to learn Thai and are quite happy to be confined to the "ghetto" only leaving it when accompanied by their wives

8 hours ago, TigerandDog said:Not entirely true. O-A requires money to be in a Thai bank account within 3 months of arrival in Thailand (that was the requirement when I moved here) OR the 65k per month or the combined method. Seasoning was in place when I moved here 9 years ago, but it was only for the period prior to obtaining an extension of stay. The insurance requirements were brought in under the guise of stopping foreigners from doing runners from hospitals. Nothing to do with what you have said. Honestly, where do some of you people get this misinformation from?
most of what you have posted is just plain wrong and you should stop confusing and misleading people.
The non o visas are not, as you insist "discriminatory" they simply have different requirements, you keep asking why, but you are asking the wrong people. Ask an immigration officer, and his answer will be something along the lines of " because it is" or "because we say so " which is a standard answer any adult gives a pestering child.
If you want "preferential treatment" change you visa, but try and get the right one this time eh? maybe you should consider using an agent this time. lol
At least stop moaning and insulting people who are better informed than yourself

I haven't read the Guardian in 50 years. The trouble with the anti woke crowd is they're really just a bunch of neo Nazis. How else would you describe them? Normal? People sit back and nod and go along with the constant belittling of minorities, people who can't fight back. Like when you say "It's a fact. Most British don't like Arabs". Yeah, sounds harmless enough doesn't it? It's just simply unprovable. So it gets let go. But it legitimises not liking Arabs. Suddenly, it's the norm. Most people agree. It must be normal. So what?
It's mass manipulation. Those kinds of attitudes get absorbed into mainstream thinking, into kids' education, into the police, into institutions that are supposed to guard against bigotry and extremism.
So arabs are now a belittled minority? is that even true? , and those people who got their heads cut off for upsetting them were neo nazi's? who deserved what they got?
Oh and the old racist police thing, the police are not racists, at least not anymore, and haven't been for a long time, they dislike everybody, except their fellow officers, the fact that there is a disproportionate number of "colourful minorities" in prison is a testament to those minorities propensity to commit crime and evidence of their ineptitude at it
You may be comfortable with some of the stuff kids are exposed to in school these days, I certainly am not, and I think you will also find that , again. this is true of the majority I personally have never heard of any school in the UK promoting an anti arab agenda, and neither have you so stop making things up
Bigotry and extremism are not the sole preserves of any particular group or race

I'm British. I find your baseless claim completely outrageous. You're like Josef Goebbels, stirring up racial hatred. Most Germans hate Jews? Yeah, that's about the level of it.
Its irrelevant where you come from, I didn't mention Islam as you earlier claimed , and I have not been stirring up "racial hatred" either, I simply said most british people do not particularly like arabs. You may not be comfortable with that, having met a few in a "spa", but to deny it is pointless. I am completely ambivalent about it.
Now you likening me to Goebbels !! well at least its an attempt at a variation on the predictable left wing insult
people cannot be forced to like anybody or anything, you yourself expressed a dislike for americans, but i'm betting you only meant the white straight male members of the population, You wouldn't want to be seen publicly expressing an honest dislike of any of the others would you? That would not go down too well with your fellow guardian readers

5 litre oil bottle is fine its all ive ever used, anyway whilst the rain is here you'll be using it pretty much every week so you won't be keeping it for long and no need to fill it up every time either. Then when the weather dries up you won't need it at all for about 5 or 6 months either

That was in the "Up 2 U " bar on Walking street as I remember about 25 years ago as you say.
I knew a couple of girls who used to have little plastic pigs that they would put on the bar or table where they were sitting to keep the arabs at a distance, even most bar girls dislike them

You're not telling me facts. You're giving me your opinion. That's not the same at all. If you were offered £100 million to go and play football in Saudi Arabia, would you take it? Bearing in mind how much you dislike Islam and Arabs?
Who mentioned Islam? anyway what a ridiculous question, I would have no problem taking the money, doesn't mean I have to like like them at all . have you forgotten about all the allegedly woke (and hypocritical) sports people that did not hesitate to capitalise on the recent world cup despite the arabs views on gays etc. Was that just because they liked arabs so much they were prepared to overlook their personal but publicly stated principles and run over there? or something to do with money?
I have spent my entire working life earning a lot less than that whilst working for people I dislike just as much as arabs
Most british people do not like them , anymore questions?

Politicians think they can alter the climate.
LOL
No they don't, but they can of course see the opportunity to exploit the hysteria they create in some people regarding this subject to their advantage. Some of the worst offenders are not even politicians in the accepted sense of the word Think WEF for starters

Shows how poorly informed much of the general public are about the issues around all aspects of tiger conservation.
Conservationists don't just have to struggle with front line issues but also have to contend with public ignorance on a gigantic scale...which hinders their work even further.
I can remember a certain infamous tiger sanctuary close to Kanchanaburi coming under intense scrutiny not that long ago and it did not come out of it looking very good at all. Was that a case of public ignorance ? No it wasn't. The only struggle those "conservationists" faced was staying out of prison

As the years and decades pass, and the planet warms there will be increasingly no places on the planet that will be 'safe'.
Nowhere free of mega-fires, no amount of money that will insulate people, torrential rains, flooding, deforestation through whole tree species dying out due to increased summer temperatures and their inability to adapt to these fast enough, mass human migrations that make whats happening now look like weekend increases by tourists, crop failures et large.
Whole areas of the earths food producing areas laid waste.
Wars over potable water.
Nice legacy to leave our kids, theirs, and theirs after them (if you are inclined to believe that man has markedly contributed to the earths warming).
Enjoy your day.
jesus, you seem like a glass half empty type of guy, have you considered writing speeches for doom goblin in chief Greta Thunberg? or is that where you sourced your detailed prediction

Most British people. You've done your research then. It's a well known fact, most people in the world hate British people. Agreed? Oh, and another of my favourites, the vast majority of people agree with me. So there.
I'm just telling you the facts, if you don't like them that is up to you, I don't doubt there are plenty of people who hate the british . maybe even "most people in the world " as you childishly put it, To be honest I could not care less. Ihe fact remains most british people do not like arabs, what's more most non arabs aren't too keen on them either, why does that make you uncomfortable?
I don't see them getting much support on here either, do you?

I don't recognise you as a spokesperson for any country. You're deluded.
read what I wrote, most british people do not care for Arabs and will avoid them if possible, Nothing deluded about that statement. The fact that you consider meeting a few in the "spa you frequent" a privilege is neither here nor there. Most british people do not eat frogs or horse meat either, I don't need to be a "spokesperson" to tell you that either but you can safely rely on it as "fact" these kind of things are just stuff that people know and accept, a bit like general knowledge if you will

Well, it's an anonymous forum so nobody knows where any of us comes from. You might be Russian for all I know. I might be, also. Or Kuwaiti! Just imagine that!
I meet Russians, Omanis, Kuwaitis, Syrians and Iranians, plus untold Europeans, Finns, Norwegians, Japanese and Koreans in the spa I frequent. It's a privilege for me. The ones I avoid are the Yanks. Just a big P.I.T.A. It's all Biden's fault, woke this, woke that, the US is screwed, the Democrats saw to that etc etc blah blah blah. Oh god get me out of here....
Well I'll clear things up for you, I am from the UK originally , and most UK people, myself included, rightly or wrongly, do not particularly like Arabs. Although there will be a tiny minority who claim they do, despite never having met one, We don't particularly like people who are like that either

You mean young Thais don't race noisy bikes around? And biker gangs that are all getting rounded up and kicked out currently? And good riddance!
I did not say young thais do not create a nuisance that is not the subject of this thread, however our local police station has a huge lock up pen at the rear which must contain over 500 confiscated motor bikes all of which belonged to Thais. To suggest that the police never arrest or prosecute Thais is just wrong, it is their primary purpose. It really isn't all about tourists you know.

Just buy a few books on the subject, learn to read a little and just go out and talk to people. Much better than sitting in a classroom and a lot more fun, you will also save a considerable amount of money

bang on. imagine if this happened in a western country and they said they were going to crack down on asians or blacks etc. the outrage and frothing would be huge.
albeit from a very small and very vocal minority and even most of them wouldn't be too upset about arabs getting a rough deal, few like them anywhere

the offense requires policing, the nationality of the offender is irrelevant.
There is nothing racist about it at all Only a fully paid up member of the woke club would think that there was.
They are simply targeting people causing a nuisance on motorbikes who coincidentally happen to be Arabs.
The headline was designed to cause a reaction from the woke and promote the usual exchange of views between them and normal people
