TheFishman1 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Hope the foreigner has a lot of insurance to pay the hospital bills in the bike deal that was slightly damaged TIT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Are juvenile riders covered by the meagre motorbike insurance that the family probably do not have? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accident could not happen unless the foreigner was in Thailand, remember? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..!!!
