Tattooed motorcyclist "going the wrong way" dies after collision with Yaris in Kanchanaburi

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Thai Rath reported that Tha Muang police in Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, were called after a collision between a motorcycle and a car on Route 323 at 7.40 pm yesterday.

 

They found a Honda Wave on its side and lots of bits of the bike over the road. 

 

Saichon, 48, a man from Suphanburi, was dead from multiple injuries. He had a tattoo of a growling tiger on his chest.

 

Thai Rath didn't explain the significance of this, though they mentioned it several times. 

 

Ten meters away was a stopped Honda Yaris with extensive damage to the front and bits of bike embedded. 

 

The unnamed driver was only slightly injured but taken to hospital.

 

A witness said that he saw the motorcyclist at the edge of the road going the wrong way before the collision.

 

Police are interviewing a pick-up driver to determine what happened.

What does being tattooed have to do with the accident itself.....oh wait because he was tattooed he drove the wrong way and it was the growling tiger tattoo's fault...

I thought a tiger tattoo made you bullet proof (Thai myth), obviously did'nt protect him from a head on collision with a Yaris!

Surely going the wrong way is in the wrong.

Yes, bullet proof, but nobody said Yaris proof

Ah, but if everybody went the wrong way, it would mean less accidents/deaths, maybe

I must be missing something but what significance as related to the accident does the tattoo have? Did the tiger drive the motor bike?

When that myth started the Yaris had not been invented.

Just to be serious for a moment how many times have you seen motorbikes going in the wrong direction on a road, it is part of the culture and something only the RTP can stop. 

Cue for laughter.

Toyota Yaris, not Honda.

Not enough information.

Should have mentioned motor cyclist with one head 2 arms (and 10 fingers) and 2 legs (with 10 toes), at least...

Ha ha. 

 

Very funny.

So typical of some AN members and their comments.

Thinking in reverse....the inverse of normal thinking ????

 

Sad things is, these members believe in their reverse thinking thoughts. ????

 

Keep up the great work ✔️

ASEAN NOW didn't explain the significance either, though they did make it the leading word of their headline.
