Well we all do from time to time but I think you missed my pun ????

Rules and laws do not apply to thai people. Up to me.

why an autopsy?  Even a Thai Doctor, dumb as they often are,  should be able to tell that a missing head is a good indicator as to the cause of death? 

 

I know that they need to check for drugs and alcohol, but that is not an autopsy. 

I apologise Pilotman for my uncalled for insult made earlier to this post.It was wrong.

Sanook reported that riders are forbidden from going on that particular bridge.

He won't be doing that again !

It doesn’t matter whether he was a relative of a big wig or not...

 

He disobeyed road safety regulations and in this instance paid the price for it...so be it

 

i wish there was significantly more Karma out on the roads given the utter lack of police enforcement. 

 

Many Thai drivers don’t often use their heads so that is not the COD...try bled out

Every death from speeding is Darwin at work removing idiots from the gene pool.

Amen! As my signature says, stupidity should be painful to the stupid, too. RIP, idiot.

Bikes should be able to ride over bridges. Stupid not to be able to!!!!

I hated living in bkk with many mod big bikes that dont like idling anywhere, ever let alone bangkoks humid hot traffic. This is clearly rider error.

Let people ride on the bridges douches!! Why force bikes in to traffic to enhale exhaust fumes? Let the cars with there fancy aircon enjoy the traffic jams instead.

I always rode the bridges and even the big ones.

I was told to take my big bikes on boats to cross rivers. Insanity!!

Too much speed and too little expertise are a poor combination.

Mine has the same affliction, it must be a design fault. 

Can we have a static how often motorcycle riders are killed (or kill themselves) on Thai roads?

Or does it not really matter if they are not related to a so called celebrity?

Must be a widespread thing. Same same weather I use an aple or a microsift, stil same.

And he was not supposed be riding on the bridge anyway according to the report but guess he thought that did not apply to him because he was a relative of a "celebrity". Some poor chap died, RIP, whether he was a relative of a celebrity or not why does Thai press always mention such irrelevances ?

I regularly drive over that flyover and always see motorcycles up there.

Well they should not be there obviously and if I was in charge of policing that area and this happened, I would make sure that heads would roll.

Which bridge then.. no pic??

It's the one that goes over something.

Perhaps there is an expert on these thing that can explain why motorcycles are not allowed on Flyovers? Is it maybe that that is what they are liable to do, flyover? RIP.

Exactly what I said in my earlier post. I suspect it is the Thai syndrome of considering some people are more important than others if they are well known and/or have money.

I guess that must mean that websites like TMZ must have copied the 'Thai syndrome' and that the Kardashicashy family must all be from SE Asia.

His life clearly had value, being connected to the hi-so crowd.  The other 3,000 road deaths that day deemed insignificant, commonplace and therefore un-newsworthy.

Most of them seem to be from BBL.  Big bum land,  the Kardashians that is.

So what are they supposed to do if riding along a highway, and a bridge comes up. Do a U turn, drive wrong way back to an exit, leave the highway and find a small road which will lead back onto the highway, then re-join until the next bridge. 

Duck?

Yes I am in Thailand, but I could not find the SARKY emoji when I posted.

For the same reason any media outlet in the world would. It adds extra interest to the story and raises it above any 'ordinary' fatality or road accident. The same would happen if it was a drugs bust, an assault (recent attack on the Arsenal players in London for example), a murder, a row between lovers to which the police are called, as in Boris Johnson and his girlfriend recently. The public lap up anything to do with fame. Human nature - sadly.

 

Why did you read it, by the way? What drew you to the story? The decapitation?
