So well this Guy F's up Royaly. ... And now his Family are trying to get him back to the UK so that they can get him on the free NHS I guess ... For the rest of the Huge time and Bill it looks like taking. ??? Possibly just to keep him alive.

 

I feel sorry for the Thai Driver you know !!! Like they all do not just walk out their doors drunk, and saying "Lets go out and get a Forigner" ... Like the rest of us !!! ... They walk out the door and say "Phewwww Let's Get Home" !!! 

 

... And then they come around a corner ? ... Or out of the general Gloom of 3 am on the Morning ! ... And there is a Foreigner !!! (From any where) ... With no helmut, drunk and on his Phone to his girl friend, ... Parked or just going too slowly, in the wrong part of the Road !! !!!!! In front if him ! !! 

 

And I just say to the people who are trying to get ? Over 20% of their GDP out of Tourism !!!! ... Well THIS ! IS What IS going to happen !!! ... If you keep on doing this !  

 

And it would happen Any where.

 

There was a French Woman on Holidays in Australia near my home once who just drove out of the Camping ground, ... turned Right I think and went straight on to the wrong side of the road ! ... Like she would in France ! ... And then took off at speed !!! ... And ran straight in to the front of a local woman who was just taking her Daughter to School ! ... ( I think ) And the local woman at least? I think ? Was just killed Out right on the spot.

 

( Though this was a pretty long tome ago now )

 

But Put Tourists on and in Motor Viechrls ! ... In Strange places ! ... Like particularly in Thailand !!! ... And then you ARE !!! Going to have quite a bit of trouble like this !!! I think ? For sure.

I suspect nothing. Drunky will have to pay for his own medical costs like a big boy.

Yes better watch it !!! Especially while the pretty bloody heavy, Great Grand son starts doing Lay backs off the back seat !!! !@#$%^&*)*& .... As I pass power Poles and Trees !!!

Yes you steer a motor bike by using your weight also. ... like if the Great Grand son is heavy ! And leans the wrong  way he could cause the bike to head off the road and in to a pole. ...

 

the poor guy in the other blog, that hit the back of the low losder on his brand new Duke ? Probably was used to Scooters, ... and just leant the wrong way in fear, at aprocking it faster than he was used to, being on a Biger Bike. Which started if the Disaster as he was nit used to the big bikes levers to stop it ? !    

So now another 'GoFundMe' to get his body flown home I suppose?

A helmet would have solved most of his major, life-threatening issues.
Actions have consequences.  And I hate to say it, but most foreign tourist who jump on motorcycles have no experience riding in their own country no less on "The Most Dangerous Roads In The World" here in Thailand.  This is a dangerous place to ride/drive and statistically 80% of the fatalities on the road are - motorcycles.
The young man should have had a helmet on.  Now - consequences.

Not sure if the link is allowed:

Given the horrific injures it's probably for the best.  RIP.  ????

so how do you know that? did you see his medical report and make a diagnosis?

A very unfortunate accident for this man.  I feel sorry for his children who are now without their father and his parents.  RIP.

Terribly tragic.

 

But when the young boys go to Thailand, they think (as we all did) they're immortal, can do all sorts of stuff that they could never do back home, and unfortunately Thailand teaches you that when the sh*&*t hits the fan, some of those annoying rules back home were made for a reason!

RIP Greatly for this poor Fellow ! ? .   But well possibly the Kids might be better off with out him, in some degree ? .   As he seems to have made many pretty large mistakes in life ?  ! And well just defiantly Continued making them ? With all due respect to all of our Humanity. AND Children.

 

But now the Kids might have got his last great lesson on having more responsibility. ???

 

I have just been Diagnised with a Rare form of Skin Cancer, that could be fatal ? So I have a different End Game philosophy to work on. ... 

 

But well RIP my felliw ! and to the Guy on the Dikr tht hit the back of the liw loadet in the other blog. Death is always sad I guess and it just depends on the time that it takes to sink in to those around you I guess.

 

I did not mind this Go fund me as it seems that it Saluted his end ! ..  I guess. ?

 

Like un likely if any one takes any notice st all if I just die from Porocarcinoma.

My first trip to Thailand was in 1988. I stayed on the beach at Koh Samui in some rental bungalow for about 10 days.

 

One day someone asked me: Had you noticed the red-haired German guy staying a few bungalows away? I said yes.

 

The guy said: Well he's dead. Motorcycle crash.

 

So that was my wakeup call almost 40 years ago.

Just burn his body in a local Monastery ! Like you can be a lot more close to the deceased here in Thailand than you can be at home. ... In my experience.

 

And then take home the Vital pits of bone and some ashes in a little Urn.. the local funeral director will do that. ...Like they always do that. ...

 

i do not know about  Puting it in your check in lugage or hand carry. ? ... It might be considered Bomb making material  right ? .. 

 

Like leave the rest of the aseses here as this is where he got to. 

 

So the rest off the go fund me can go to more helpfully stuff in his hospital ? ... or give it to a government hospital

I couldn't agree more. Burn him here and save the problem, and cost, of returning him back to the UK.

Ashes (cremated remains) may be carried as checked or carry-on baggage. Ensure that the container used to hold the ashes is free from contaminants such as soil. The container and packaging for the ashes may be inspected or examined.

That is not what this person said...they were untumating personal detailed knowledge of the accident and making unfounded judgements.

Crash helmets can improve your chances of survival by about 35%. ...they are limited in what they can do.

Of course it's best to wear a helmet but they are not some kind of panacea.

People are far too keen to make ill-informed judgments on this guy's  fate based on a smug "holier than thou" attitude. It just shows how little they understand about crashes and analysis thereof.

We simply don't know.

But given what we do know the guy appears to have been a plonker

Now the family is begging for money to fund Uk and International funeral directors.............

 

Seriously WTF..... chuck him through the burn barrel and whack his ashes is ya carry on !!

You seem unable to take a rational critical appraisal of this incident.

just don't seem to realise how little you know. I think it is very insensitive and arrogant to speak thus of the deceased when thanks to the general reporting on this crash we know absolutely nothing for sure about it....you are relying on prejudice and assumption...you seem to be taking a very low-brow approach if you don't mind me saying
