I’ve rode big bikes & scooters in Thailand over the last 20 years and never had a problem , it’s like everything just be alert & have extra caution , I’m riding motorcycles for the last 35 years , this man was very unlucky , no one here knows the circumstances, not all foreign bike riders in Thailand are idiots , it’s some of the Thai drivers I’m more scared about the idiotic behaviour they show on the roads , I got a mini bus from hua hin to Bangkok around 15 years ago & that was my last time ever in a minibus in Thailand , after that I said never again , I will gladly pay more to go in a taxi , this fool drove that minibus like a rally car , it was pure crazy dodging in and out of traffic at high speed , people in the bus were scared to death & in shock , anyway I’ve seen a lot less needy cases setting up gofund me , clearly this man is paralysed for life , I’m sure he will need all the help he can get for the future to help him adapt as best he can !! Have a little empathy guys to this man’s tragic situation

Poor guy , hope he gets looked after well , very tragic thing to happen

Using the money to buy Thai steroids by looks of it

Tragic way to go , it’s a pity he was not hospitalised before the flight , might have saved his life , spitting blood before the flight took off he should not have been allowed to fly at that time , horrific ordeal for his wife also , RIP

Hope the young man gets the care he needs, helmet laws in Thailand in general are not strict enough , the helmets that bike rentals provide are usually just hard plastic cheap ones ,they are better than nothing but not near good enough

They were on a Highway to hell 😃

Seen a foreigner begging in Ao nang krabi just last week too , there was a Romanian guy once in Dublin who begged in his bare feet on grafton street -people bought him new shoes all the time , he was stopped at Dublin airport returning to Romania & when searched customs found over 10,000 euros in his pocket & then the Revenue searched where he was living in Dublin & here they find over 50 pairs of brand new shoes in boxes never worn & he had a big house built in Romania ,Roma gypseys are the kings of begging, teams of them are at it every day around every town in Ireland taking advantage of our good nature

What a crowd of idiots , damn couldn’t make this up , free stay in the Bangkok Hilton for a few years I’d say

Damn learn something new every day , I didn’t realise people were still visiting Russia , wtf would you want to go there especially atm

It’s a pity putin wouldn’t do the world a favour & jump out a window also

Damn & they call us Irish heavy drinkers , the new title should go to Thailand 😀🇹🇭

Should be the last day that teacher ever worked in a school anywhere

Pattaya needs more police presence to deter these thieving scum

The good the bad & the ugly 😀

Nothing as bad as being in a taxi with no ac on , I’ve seen it several times where the taxi driver thinks it ok to leave the car at 30 plus degrees while I’m in the back seat baking away , I always ask politely to make it cooler 99 % of the time the driver is happy enough to cooperate, I rem once years ago where a taxi driver would not turn on the meter after leaving the airport in bangkok even though we got it from an official taxi rank there

Of course he is living in 5 star treatment there , money talks

What a clown , does he not realise u can’t get away with s**t like that in Thailand or anywhere else either , Christmas holidays in a stinking Thai cell will straighten him up alright

Pity he just didn’t do away with himself & let the woman Live her life

Wonder will this include a new fee on departure , remember having to do that years ago

Why can’t the author just say he set off from the resort city of Pattaya without saying “Notorious “ - dramatisation at its best

Death penalty definitely for him electrocution with a dry sponge like in the green mile , sedation injection too easy

He drank too many Black Russians 😀

Must be the only country in the world at the moment welcoming Russians , loads staying in Thailand now to avoid being sent as cannon fodder to the Ukraine & doing English courses to avoid getting killed when they return home to the answer to mr Z

I rem earlier this year I was approaching the immigration desk & there was a woman in front of me comming from uae with a black outfit & all that u could see was her eyes , I said to myself now this will be interesting to see will they take a photo of her face & ask her to remove the burka/head dress !! Nope they took her picture 🥷🏻 , I just thought they are so strict & yet they let these people through immigration with out really seeing what they look like 😀👍🏻

€ 2,700 a day is ridiculous for a hospital , I hope this man gets better soon ,insurance or no insurance he should be looked after in a public hospital the same , ambulance bringing him to a private hospital was wrong , they seen him as a cash cow , some Thais think every farang (a word I hate by the way) is a millionaire , some forget we actually work for a living
