Hope the foreigner has a lot of insurance to pay the hospital bills in the bike deal that was slightly damaged TIT

He will likely be paying nothing! In fact, if the foreigner had been able to be questioned, he may have been made liable for the Thai kids hospital bill and bike damages. If actually under 15, the kid cannot be liable anyhow. Many may think this is xenophobic of me, but I have known it happen.

Don't tell me just guessing was it a Russian woman who had previously crashed into railings and refused treatment that staggered into the road ????

Are juvenile riders covered by the meagre motorbike insurance that the family probably do not have?

Well it is unlikely they have a licence so I might expect insurance not to be valid.... but I am sure I have heard instances where they did when a kid caused an accident.

The OP says he was between 15 & 18 so MAYBE he had a licence, and/or insurance.

did you miss the bit which stated that the pedestrian was a "foreigner" ?

The accident could not happen unless the foreigner was in Thailand, remember?

The Pattaya News asked a motorcycle taxi rider who witnessed the accident and was told the teen motorcyclist was driving at high speed

 

We'd expect nothing different, would we. Thais can only drive at high speed.

Soi 13 perhaps farang found out this lovely tirak he met had bigger d"ck than him and was running for fear of being violated

My Thai wife's niece lives in a small village in Buriram,  aged 11 on the way to School riding a Honda Wave, collides with a truck, ( her fault), insurance paid out,  bodily damage, & little damage to the truck.... family said its the bike's that's insured..!!!
