I created an account to specifically give my own account of this matter. I worked and lived in the same apartment as Clive Everall for just short of two weeks. This man is nothing more than a violent, drunken, irresponsible, and privileged man with no regard for anyone but himself.
On his second day of work teaching in Uttaradit, Clive called in "sick" because he had been up drinking all night. Our landlord had a new story to tell us each day about other tenants complaining of Clive's behavior. He was loud and obnoxious and held no respect for any of the people he lived with. He harassed the other English teachers who lived there to the point that they called the police. He threw his cigarette butts out his window and damaged the cars beneath. After starting an argument with a Thai university student over his ability to speak English, Clive struck the student in the face.
These are just a few of the incidents that made the other English teachers afraid to be around him. Many of us pleaded with our agency to fire him and to help us in this situation. They only fired him after the motorbike accident, when they learned that the man that Clive struck while riding his motorbike had died, and when they heard about him punching the university student. It wasn't clear why they fired him, but he was still allowed to live in the apartment.
Our landlord said he watched the video of him assaulting the student, which happened one or two nights after the accident, and was prepared to kick him out of the apartment after receiving more complaints about cigarette butts, being loud, etc.. Little did he know, that Clive had fled town without paying his rent.
The police were at the apartment the day of the accident to give him a breathalyzer. I heard Clive on the phone with someone who worked for our agency. He said something along the lines of, "I've just had a beer since I got home and they want to test me?" I have no doubt, due to the fact that I had never seen him not drinking since he had arrived in Uttaradit, that he was drunk and murdered an innocent man while he was driving.
Clive knew he was guilty. Why would he prepare to leave the country so soon knowing he had to pay the family? This was general knowledge to all the other English teachers as told by the agency, that Clive would have to pay damages to the family of the man who died. But according to Clive, he was "cleared" by police. Why would he "sneak out" without notifying our landlord? Because he knew the police were in contact with our landlord about Clive's location. He was not permitted to leave Uttaradit, let alone Thailand.
I could go on for much longer about how insane this man and all the unpleasant experiences I dealt with in just the short amount of time that I was around him, but I'd rather try to forget that unfortunate part of my experience in Thailand.

MY FRIEND WORKED WITH THIS MAN. This story is not what happened at ALL. We all work for the same agency, and this has become a bit of scandal amongst us all. If you really read his version of the story, there are a lot of things that don't add up. If he had a chance to see everything that the family was doing, how far the elderly man was, why didn't he STOP?
The version that was witnessed by the community, and several other teachers: This man is loose cannon that repeatedly threatened other teachers with violence for the most random reasons. He was definitely speeding when he hit the man, and had kept HONKING prior to hitting him. (If you have time to honk, you definitely have time to hit your brakes.) He hit the man so hard, the man rolled over three times.
There were supposed to be two investigations: the police's investigation, and the family's private investigation. The police one had already finished, and they told him so, but they said to STAY in the country for the other investigation. Everall was ordered to pay 1 million baht for the family-- which he never took responsibility for.
On top of all that, he also skipped out on his rent, his utility bills, and damage fees for throwing cigarette butts on top of cars and leaving burn marks. He was only fired by our agency after he was caught punching some thai university kid in the face during an argument. This guy is INSANE and is definitely playing the victim here.
