A 45 yer old Belgian  motorcyclist, lost his life in a crash early morning on November 29, after losing control of his bike and crashing into a village entrance gate in Soi Khao, A.D. House estate, Nongprue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri.

 

The incident occurred at 05:35 and was reported to Pol. Lt. Supakit Kasudom, Deputy Inspector of Nongprue Police Station. Rescue volunteers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya Foundation were dispatched to the scene.

 

At the site of the crash, a yellow-and-black Yamaha Aerox motorcycle with license plate from Chon Buri was found severely damaged after veering off a curve and crashing into the base of a village entrance gate. Lying near the base of the gate was the lifeless body of a foreign man, who was name as Mr David from Belguim. Rescue workers covered the body with a white cloth and cordoned off the area to prevent public interference.

 

Mr. Teerakhan Thongkham, 33, a security guard at the village, stated that while he did not witness the crash, he heard the sound of the motorcycle losing control and crashing. The rider was thrown from the vehicle, striking the gate structure. He immediately contacted authorities for assistance.

 

Pol. Lt. Supakit recorded evidence at the scene and announced plans to review CCTV footage to determine the cause of the crash.

 

The body has been transported to Bang Lamung Hospital, where it will be held pending confirmation of identification and collection by relatives.

Don't hire a powerful bike unless experienced and competent in handling such a machine.

Like some cat's

We all know the Farangs here, some of them, just do not understand how to ride these bikes and tend to speed quite often.  I see it everyday.

 

Sad, but then again, this is life.

That is funny, but true, those poor guys get less than 600 THB a day...and God bless them, I hope they sleep good.  I use to work Grave Yard and it is a tough job, especially if you have nothing to do but sit.

Whatever the reason, it is still an unfortunate way to die.

No powerful needed.

My Honda Wave 110 ccm ("student bike" legally from 15 yr) comes close to 100 km/h. That's about the smallest you can get with combustion engine.

Majority of rent scooters in Pattaya is 125 cc.

 

Don't drink or drug and drive.

Don't drive when tired.

In the night take extra care. A pothole can cost your life.

You can always tuck into a good novel or roam the internets. Or meditate. Or break out the ouija board and commune with spirits.

Well, at least the Belgian went out doing what he loved doing. Is it any worse than involuntarily aging to 89 and petering out in a warehouse with other decrepit farts gasping for breath?

Really? Not so bad actually.

 

Talk to some poor old sods in the old folks' home withering away with a Panadol drip in their veins. They will tell you about good and not so good ways to die mate.
