My link to another news media has been removed as I cant quote from other media but in that story he was described as a 68 year old American. And he looks it from what we can see from the blurred photo

My son first visit to Patong about 25 years ago. Let him drive my big bike. Mbike taxi turn right into Nanai 2 hit someone. My son passing by and stop to help. Yes .... he was accused cause accident. Came back my house with taxi driver and police in town. He in panic. Wanted borrow big money from me. I wandered down, looked at the damage and told taxi driver can get new plastic bits for 2,000 baht. Police agree. 2,000 baht done deal.

He is 68. Why so many poster talk about 28. Just displays that almost all poster never read the original story.

Maybe 6 months ago in Rawai about Fisherman Way. Merc run into back of bike. Kill American man and his Luxemburg girl friend.

Clearly bought way out. Much like the Russian lady lawyer kill 2 on bike. Parents of the Lux lady cant get any info from police. Complete silence.

The bike renter was fined 2,000 baht for not checking for license. That's the official fine rate.

Club Meds 30 year lease expired a few years ago. So cant only be there since about the 90s. Unless that was the 2nd 30 year lease ??

I am not so sure that if in your registered home and not for money or profit then home maintenance and light work should be ok. Ask you mate around to help and offer a few beers .... not ok. Any member care to challenge that, from personal experience ?

Can't blame the hospitals for asking bills being paid before releasing from hospital. Too many foreigners take off without paying. From my experience I see no restraint from walking out. Even when our Insurance is paying they still hold you until the payment is confirmed and with our insurers that can take 4 hours. Drives me crazy but they let me go off to the shops while waiting.

As I understand it he will be granted a 'suspect' visa while he is waiting for trial and verdict.

The owner removed the stairs. And there may be legal consequences. Being investigated by authorities.

Yes he will be allowed to stay pending time for court to hear and decide the outcome of the criminal charges.

Due for renewal 13 March 24. Just wont renew.

Likely not even a real 4 wheel drive, and do you think a casual driver would know all those tricks to get unstuck.

She is the GF as she stated that in her public interview. During her angry tirade with the good Dr she shouted her son was a high policeman and she had connections. In her interview she confirmed he son only a Sargent in police.

His 'wife' stated in a Thai TV interview that they were not married. My wife listen to it. So I guess he has a business visa. And it not being revoked. His visa is due for renewal on 13 March 2024 and they just wont renew it. We 'visitors' are all here at the pleasure of the Thai Gov

Ah yes. Must be another rentor. Been so many those places in the short road open and close repeat. See try Mexican take out again ... again. Just no foot traffic there. Bad business spot. As for me. My usual quiet stay at home life. Sold our business/company 2 month ago so no need travel Patong or deal with guests. Happy in Kata but the traffic on Patak Road is hellish. Takes many minutes get out of our side road, same again to turn in.

She is Thai

They are not legally married

Yes, Thai social media talking about being cancelled

Pleased to say I have not even been in Patong for almost 6 weeks. As for the Bistrot, you talking about that place just about all bike rentals. As I recall open about 5 years ago, never had any customers. Lot of dark skinned young 'French' guys hang out there.

Given the wide publicity its way way past the brown envelope time

Slight down slope, wide main 4 lane road, past the bends. Not sure how he crashed ?

Plenty cases with taxis where driver goes to a quiet spot and rapes. The woman is contained in the vehicle.

Just search google maps. Patong branch on road going out of Royal Paradise off Rat-u-Tit/Song Roi Pee. One of the 2 high building in Patong.
