webfact Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Russian tourist on motorcycle strikes Pattaya rescue worker By The Nation Police in Pattaya detained a Russian tourist believed to be intoxicated and speeding when his high-powered motorcycle struck a rescue worker at 1am Thursday. Apimon Sathornkij, 37, had come to the aid of another motorcyclist who’d upended in front of the Harley-Davidson service centre on Sukhumvit Road in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung district when Oleg Volobujev, 45, allegedly ploughed into him. Police said Volobujev, who had a Thai woman riding pillion, was speeding and was so drunk that all he could say was that he was indeed drunk. He was taken to the police station and, once sober, would have to negotiate compensation for Apimon.

Presume he had no insurance??? Probably no licence two, the local only to happy to rent a bike to any piss artist as long as they can pay, if the Russian wont pay then I think the owner of the bike should be liable. How about a few weeks behind bars for the Russian too... though I think he may have spent too much time in the other type of bars. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod reborn Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Instead of wasting their time on trying to educate tourists about cultural awareness, they should show videos on arriving flights on the lack of road safety in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police should be taken to the police station, just to remind them where they work, get them to re-read their terms of reference, and show them how to write-out a charge sheet for being DUI!

shackleton Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 According to the report I read no one was killed my comment of Mai Pen Rai is that nothing changes here in Thailand if you think taking the drunk Russian to the police station waiting for him to sober up then pay money ( compensation ) to the people involved is okay that's fine he should be jailed and deported but that is not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High powered bike, no helmet, drunk , what could possibly go wrong ? The OP says that he was detained, believed to be intoxicated and speeding, so it's not unlikely that that means he was arrested.
