Popular Post Sheryl Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 There are no establushed steps for this and no mechanisms for people to file for compensation from government. All you could do is hire a lawyer and try to bring a civil suit -- if you can find a lawyer willing to take this on which is very doubtful . There have been rare cases of people winning suits against government entities but they all involved death or permanent disability. Damages awarded in successful suits here are much smaller than in the West and would be limiyed to compensation of actual losses incurred. Legal fees will exceed that. Forget about this. Broken/dangerous pavement is the norm in Thailand and it is "pedestrian beware". 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 unless it is something that actively harms you like drain covers that break resulting in you falling in, something broke and fell on your head... or you can build enough traction on social media or getting media coverage back home complaining loud enough, it's not worth it life's cheap here, you are advised to exercise due caution, or stick to the bubbles of hotels and air conditioned malls where they have liability insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write a full report in Thai about the incident and request the amount that you would like from the BMA. Don't forget to include your bank details in order to receive the funds. When your request is ignored, as it will be, sue them. Or, save yourself a lot of money and just forget it.

Also in the "West" compensation is usually only for actual expenses. It's mostly in USA that people can claim fanciful amounts due to emotional disorder or whatever. But yes, you are right on the whole, OP should forget it unless he had to undergo serious surgery or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Daley Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Just stick a tree branch in it and move on. There's a huge explored deep drain outside of Tescos (about the size of motorcycle) but it has a tree branch in it. It's filled with rainwater as well so if you are a child or it's nighttime than you will die. Edited October 8, 2023 by Chris Daley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
