Yep! 15 years old, party and motorbike. 3 ingredients that clearly should be illegal.

Slow learners in fast lane for a fast death. Thai kids will never learn road manners or common sense.  "Whats a crash helmet ?"

It's something you should consider buying after your first crash - if you survive, though!

They are all illegal but Pattaya police do not enforce these laws as there's nothing in it for them.  After dark (ie when the police are cowering in bed) Sukhumvit becomes a racetrack for under age racers most with no lights.  Thailand is World Number 1 in the motorbike death league.  The (lack of) police must bear the brunt of the blame.

Try being a farang riding a motorbike without a helmet..........

Yet another example of why a full face crash helmet is the only option. Might be hot and your hair gets messy. But at least your teeth, nose and jaw will be intact. I wonder if he will learn from this experience ? Doubtful.

No gloves either by the state of his hands.. 

Why I agree that Police should enforce the law. It is undoubtedly down to the individual to consider the consequences of an unprotected accident.

For myself I wouldn't ride anywhere without jeans, helmet, boots and gloves.

I don't need a law to enforce what should just be common sense..

It is not illegal for a 15-year-old to ride a motorcycle as long as it's under 110cc.

 

As for blame, try the parents and the education system who all have access to the kids before the police.

No society is to blame. It should be socially unacceptable to ride without a helmet.  Parents should not allow their 15 years olds to ride without helmets.

Well, he wont be doing that again in a hurry (hopefully)

Should not allow? The parents were probably in constant fear of being murdered in their sleep...

Hope he got laid at the party; so the night wasn't a total write off.

[retarius]

He's too young to get a license.....parents are at fault for allowing him to ride. Sorry not much sympathy.

[stanleycoin]

Oh well,   one more party at the Wat.

Shame on the parents, and authorities of Thailand.

You care not about your children.

You have the power to change this,  but you choose not to do so.

Lazy people.

 

Darwin wins again. 

 

[Titan1962]

It's very hard to change the culture, if the police don't enforce the laws already in place. So it comes with the territory, just another rider thinking he is invincible. WRONG 555555

Just a little bit too close to being laid out on a slab for comfort

To young to be on the roads and what about his parents?  Who let's their child on the roads without a licence, they should be held totally responsible for letting him take the bike onto the roads.

50 years ago when I came off bikes my first thought was " Can I still ride it home ? "  Several times my knee looked like his , ouch !  Head never looked like that though as always wore a crash hat.

Yet more motorcycles deaths, accidents and injuries. When can we ban these outdated forms of transport. Cant be soon enough.

Totally agree parents wise, however, if he is indeed 15, then he is not too young to get a motorcycle license, whether he had one is a different matter!

It is perfectly legal and a license can be obtained for a 15-year-old to ride a motorcycle of under 110cc.

 

Parents should of course make sure he wears a helmet and does not drink and drive.
