JensenZ Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Are the police finding it a challenge to determine the exact cause of the accident? The most important detail of every investigation and media report is to determine the nationality of the deceased. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likerdup1 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Just sad, I can't count the number of times I have either witnessed the aftermath (2nd Rd. Jomtien decapitation of a Russian on a rice rocket 2013) read or heard about Russians dying by big bike. The 2nd road Jomtien collision was particularly gruesome as pieces of his body were strewn about. It's a tragic fact, but this guy is just one in the endless parade of tourists in Thailand dying on motorbikes or big bikes. I hate to say it but Thailand is a place where Darwinism and survival of the fittest is quite operative. Edited May 9, 2023 by likerdup1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Other countries take steps to minimise tourist deaths. In Bagan (Myanmar) tourists can only hire electric motorcycles (maximum speed maybe 40 kph) and in Luang Prabang (Laos) the same is actively encouraged.

BritScot Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Enough is enough. When will the Thai government learn? Stop allowing tourists or Thais to ride without driving licenses or without helmets and no more than 1 pilion on a motorbike. So easy to start prosecuting the shops that are renting tourists motorbikes that have left their brains at the airport. Stop renting motorbikes. Start prosecuting. We should never hear of a tourist laying in hospital with massive bills as the shop should be adequately insured. Other countries manage this why not Thailand?

BarraMarra Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 A fully insured Rider, full license holder, not a lot of good, if you decide to jump on a bike without good clothing, doesn't need to be leathers just adequate jeans and a jacket and of course, a decent helmet, believe me, you do not want to slide down the road with a bare chest like this idiot i saw in kata.
