I have never seen a red Volvo before, as for the accident my money is on the motorbike at fault. Thais think by riding with no lights on it saves the battery life. Jing Jing. 

These Thais have no one to blame but themselves: There are too many of them in the Pattaya area.

always blame person with more money, BUT not that much more money (or they have power).  Of course blame farang for coming here and creating an unsafe atmosphere.  Farang, you pay 200,000 baht, help this country, go home, but come back in 30-days ok, but next time you bring 300,000.  farang should never have been driving, and could have been much safer at the intersection.  I always get out of my car, look, have 100 cameras, ask everyone if safe, check from my drone... then i go.  simple.  

You dont have a spotter looking as you move? Really, it is Pattaya you know which is in Thailand. I think you should get a spotter to check every corner before you move.

I wonder if the BiB are going to have a word with the owner of the bike in the pic , the one with the blue rear light .....I thought not.

Just installed a new car cam to replace the old one. Cameras will reveal the lies and cheats.

We have at the moment 2 cameras in our car (one facing forwards and one facing backwards) but I am looking to install another 2 (one facing left and one facing right)

Its the 56 year old to blame, what two of them.

Anyone driving  here without number 1 insurance and a dash cam are crazy.  Hope this guy at least has no.1 ins.

I know this intersection well, and if the car was really coming from South Road (same as the bus on 2nd pic) then I really doubt that the car drove at red light.

By experience I would bet that the bike burned the red light by too many seconds... as too often the case there.

 

Are you assuming a Thai don't respect a red light...??...

ravelling normally along the road when the red car suddenly came out of the intersection and hit him.

I don't know how many times a "Red Car" suddenly stops in front of me with no warning in Chiang Mai and me almost hitting them

Its a real risk that he hasn't as it is an old car and definitely not if rented...

I have seen many stupid farangs here and many stupid Thais so only CCTV can reveal what really happened. Also it would be nice to have the foreigner version of what happened before we can conclude.

My guessing is the cameras are out of action.

A brown envelope to the BIB and the cam is suddenly working.

Volvo driver...  say no more!

hey hey safest cars on the roads..love the Amazon 122 and the P 1800

Thai Media Sanook quick off the mark, must have been so difficult to have a word with the Falange and get his story. 

 

Pattaya is still better, if you want to see hell of professional drivers with “license to kill” just come to Chiang Mai. They don’t really hesitate to kill you especially when they stick to you from behind to push you away. 

Comming out of soy without looking or opening driver doors happenes everyday at every corner. 

 

 

There was farang in a nearby restaurant watching it was his fault, because he ordered Pad Thai. If he had ordered Chicken Fried Rice it wouldn’t have happened bloody moronic mob.

Ha ha ha in car camera cams are a must. Record front, backwards and side ways.

Starpage . com them.

I cant mention any names or I get my comment pulled and a warning.

Watch cctv footage before parting with a satang.

100,000 baht foreigner be on his way home....done deal...other than that will be 4 or 5 visits to the police station, drawing maps and diagrams, calling on phoney witnesess, this thai guy knows how lucky he is.....unless of course Johnny Foreigner has 1st class insurance that will back him up on the scene and the charade that will continue

I would just phone the insurance company and leave it to them.

Thai media Sanook were quick to blame a western driver who they said blindly came out of an intersection and hit a Thai man on a motorcycle. 

Wow, I have never seen Thai riders pull blindly into an intersection. How shocking.

Hard to tell from just the photos, hope the CCTV shows something or someone with dash-cam comes forward. At least the driver did the right thing and stayed at the scene, unlike many Thais who are gone in a second.

Maybe the Farang will flee the country and the will put out an Interpol aler on him. 

I just don't understand why most posters still live in the third ( no fourths world country}

lets have a poll

 

Which one is more likely to have run a red light

 

- farang

or

- Thai

P.M.?

as much as it hurts me to say it but it may be the farang's fault, the right side of the car is damaged thus the other guy coming from the right???? or maybe I am wrong, the cameras should confirm

As there were traffic lights at the intersection , it would be no surprise if the motorcyclist was jumping the red light as so many Thais do  .
