The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya Rescue Centre, t approximately 03:20 on August 27, received a report of an accident involving a motorbike and a sidecar food vendor. The incident occurred on Soi Wat Boonkanjanaram, near the Nong Pong intersection in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province.

 

Rescue personnel, accompanied by a medical team from Pattaya City Hospital, were dispatched to the scene immediately. Upon arrival, a severely damaged grey Honda PCX motorbike with the license plate from Chonburi was found in the middle of the road.
 

The foreign rider, whose nationality has not yet been confirmed, suffered severe injuries, including a large laceration to the head. Rescue workers and medics provided first aid before rushing the individual to the hospital for urgent care.

 

A short distance away, a sidecar motorbike used for selling ‘khao tom’ (rice soup) lay in ruins, with its contents scattered across the road. The driver of the sidecar, identified as Ms. Supaporn, aged 42, had already been transported to the hospital by rescue personnel.

 

Mr. Buntham, 43, the husband of Ms. Supaporn, recounted the incident to the authorities. He had been following his wife's sidecar on his own motorbike as they made their way to Mae Lao Market. According to him, the foreign tourist was riding his motorbike at high speed, attempting to overtake a car but lost control and crossed into the opposite lane, crashing directly into his wife’s sidecar.

 

The local police are now investigating the scene and will review CCTV footage from the area to determine the exact cause of the accident.

Will be good when they find a better way to describe location such as, Soi Wat Boon near Sukhumvit or something like that, rather than a word salad every time

 

closer to Bun Kanchana alley than Suk road.

Always funny detective game.
Best known as Soi Watboon / Jomtien 2nd rd.

Looking north on 2nd rd:

Yes, It's strange, a foreigner knows better, is taught a western education but when they come to Thailand they become a child again, driving erratic, dangerous, at speed, most times not wearing a helmet, disobeying all road rules. 

 

I was in discussion with a few members the other day, regarding disability scooters, these scooters are not roadworthy, they do not have tax or insurance but they continue to use these death traps on public roads, at times holding traffic up and being a nuisance. 

 

It is not the disabled or handycapped, it's just elderly foreigners looking for cheap transport to get themselves around town. 

 

 

The nasty, hate comments I received, I thought I was back in the school playground. 

These people have not grown up. 

 

 

 

 

That is because you were blaming the disabled and not the city council for unusable footpaths, as it was said even non-electric wheelchairs can't use them or people with kids in a pushchair or normal able-bodied folk . One day you will get old and unable to walk, or even sooner if you become disabled, and that could happen today. Guess you never walk anywhere.

Driving like the locals, now if there was only a proper police force around, the illegal and dangerous road-blocking vendor cart wouldn't be allowed on the road and the suicidal Thais/Farang drivers would be removed from the roads as well. Instead? We get a free-for-all, an award winning Darwin experiment played out on the streets. Plenty of dead people because the RTP, Government and citizens couldn't care less about public safety.

Where does it say the food cart was blocking the road?

My recommendation for food cart lady if she had time is to pull to side of road.

 

Motorbike riders in Thailand need to think highly about surviving.  Not whose right or wrong. Not they are driving the wrong side or to fast.  

 

Lastly you can do everything right like the one story above and still be in accident.  If the Risk out weighs the Reward for riding a Motorbike here, alternate Transport options should be considered.

 

Stay Safe People

Keep in mind that is "his" story and you can bet he's not going to admit that he (or his wife) did anything wrong.

Got to love that scam. Pay them for 10 years and if you make a claim they double your rates to make back "their" money faster.

While I agree with most of your post, I have made insurance claims a couple of times over the last 42 years and never had my rates jacked up 100% or even anywhere close. I have told you a million times to stop exaggerating.

And, without exaggerating, you have told him repeatedly.
