Thats no footpath either... !!.. Main issues here... - Hardly a scratch on the bike - No helmets (a guess, but seemingly obvious). - That treelined central median is death trap (poor road design a factor again). Deaths and serious injury very likely avoidable even after an inevitable incident with simple helmet wearing and safer road design (proper barrier instead of trees or in front of trees). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no rain either. I'd venture that a giant monitor lizard was to blame as it decided to cross the road. No one's used that excuse yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised it hasn’t taken off like ‘brake-failure’... ‘Laap-nai’.... or ‘following GPS’... https://www.samuitimes.com/water-monitor-leads-to-death-of-motorcyclist-but-thai-tv-finds-it-funny/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 There's a foot path on the roadway? Whereas there's a wide open adjacent walkway where you can see motorcyclists riding by in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinners Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Something not right here. A friend was passing almost immediately after this happened and went to assist. Immediately seeing both were dead at the scene. His conclusion was a hit and run from a very powerful vehicle due to injuries sustained and the distance between bodies, bike and other body matter. Horrible incident. running in to the kerb doesn't sound right. Hate to say it but maybe due to being Cambodians its an open and shut case. Poor buggers RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been confused as Cambodians drive on the right whereas Thais drive on the left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
