Over the years I have been hit by Thai drivers on three occassions in Phuket and on every occassion they fled the scene and left me for dead.

Do not even think about this.  UK health services (NHS) are broken even for UK residents who have been paying their NI insurance contributions.  

Dr. and nurses threatening to strike, so even less services than usual.

If he had had his accident in UK he might still be waiting for admission to A&E for any treatment.

If he manages to get back to UK he will be at the back of a very long queue.

god save the queen,,,,,i mean it man.

Sounding like a broken record, but yet again another case of someone not sufficiently insured (under-insured), albeit at least he had partial cover. And yet another plea for financial help to be bailed out of this predicament. 

 

Many expats here have insufficient or no insurance at all and usually not enough personal funds to cover costs.  I have had chats with guys who admit they aren't sufficiently covered/not at all, but just don't really want to think about it.  The cheap policies that often expats opt for, are capped at low-end amounts that won't cover most ICU, critical care and complex issues.  

 

I feel pity for the guy, but I won't be contributing as I need my money to pay for my own proper insurance cover, which, yes is bloody expensive. 

The usual "hit and run" too.

And I'm sure, if they could be bothered the police could track down to hit and run driver...

I tried to find the original crash article but its not around. It seems there isn't a lot of info about this alleged hit and run driver.
