Rimmer Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Chinaman severely injured falling off baht bus PATTAYA:--A Chinese tourist, allegedly showing off to his traveling companions, was seriously injured when he fell off the back of a baht bus. Katak Ho, 27, received major head injuries at 4 in the morning on Sept. 30, while traveling along Thappraya Road heading to Jomtien Beach. The unknown baht bus driver fled the scene after taking Ho’s compatriots to their hotel to retrieve Ho’s identification and returning them to the scene. He left before police arrived. An unnamed friend of Ho’s at the scene told police they had flagged down the baht bus to take them to their hotel. He said Ho “teased his friends” at the rear of the vehicle but fell. Ho was treated at the scene, then transferred to hospital in critical condition. Police are looking for the driver. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-10-02-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Driver left (fled?) having taken some of his mates to their hotel and brought them back! If the police hadn't turned up by then he probably thought what is the point?

spidermike007 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Dumb and dumber. He was probably drunk, and just lost his hold and fell. Not sure why the bus driver fled. Does not sound like he was at fault. Muscle memory? Fleeing is the first option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 No CCTV at the hotel to get the bus number? In an ideal world, standing passengers should not be allowed, if a passenger stands up the BB should slow and stop at the next stop to let them off and not move until all passengers are seated. Fines for drivers who ignore the above and fines for passengers monkeying about on the back of a BB. As pointed out the passenger is in a serious condition as it looks like the medical team were doing CPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need cameras installed to watch the backside. There is a fine for standing on the platform - 2000 Baht. But this guy gets an even bigger fine - the hospital bill. Hope he recovers from this too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorG Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 So, the driver takes his friends to hotel, waits while they retrieve the ID, then drives back to the scene, where there are still no police in attendance.

That whole account sounds bizarre! Unless perhaps the EMTs had arrived (although not mentioned) and were treating the guy as in the photo, but the police had not.
