Foreigners with bicycles never learn do they ? First of all they need to understand the Thai roads before try this very risky ride.
Helmets and other protections will not save you.
Stay away from the main roads how hard can it be? Why take the chance?
Germany will not give them a hard time, so let's hope he have to stay in Thailand prison for a long time.
If he was a US national he would face a lifetime in jail. Being a German could help him , unfortunately.
I have never heard of accidents on this route for 20 years, normally very safe. Happy to hear there were no serious injuries. Could have been a lot worse.
I am aware of most of the traps on the roads here, but late at night and after a few drinks you really need to be more careful or just grab a taxi home from the bar.
Any of the foreign women you see on the beach late at night are probably on overstay. Would be easy for the immigration police to do a weekly check and get rid of them for good.
No I have no sympathy for her.
