I thought Thai healthcare was so cheap and good? Why need money to go back to that awful horrid NHS?

 

He probably just wants to be near to his family.

Plenty haters on here trying very very hard to find evidence that the lad was drunk.

 

Since the most quoted news articles at the time of the accident never mention alcohol , the usual forum misanthropes say he must have been drunk.

 

Anyway, he's back home and getting the best care the NHS can offer, due to the kindness of mostly strangers.

Loads of articles on him

This is just another of those "He is a nice guy, and he lost his leg and he needs help" "Please donate" Nowhere is there any information on the circumstances of the crash so while I appreciate the link it doesn't change my mind.

Oh. I'm not here to change a suspicious mind. However theres a lot more to the article than you say. I suspect he is indeed a nice guy.

I am not 100% sure but I recall that I have read that he was filming himself with he´s phone when he was driving he´s motorbike.  But again I might remember wrong. Actually I HOPE I remember wrong because that is really, really stupid.

 

Yes, you're wrong.

Andy Davis is a genuine nice guy who unfortunately lost a leg in a motorcycle accident in Thailand and needed financial assistance to be repatriated.

 

On the other hand, @Chwooly is a just another misanthrope, living his empty and spite-filled life vicariously through the pages of an anonymous internet forum in a rather parochial Southeast Asian backwater.

I was also wondering the same question. Bumrungrad Hospital has some of the best doctors and the facility is excellent. Returning to the UK for what? Socialized medical care and year long waits. Not only that, the nurses in the UK are fat and ugly.

 

 

When you suffer a catastrophic injury and require access to state of the art surgical procedures and a support network, you will have a different view.

Yes,  but he won't come back on here and post his change of view.

The original incident in which he crashed his bike, not this thread, was well-reported in the press and here in this forum.   That you won't look for it does not mean my comments are lies.

Not lies - just absolutely meaningless. Regurgitating over and over that the circumstances leading to the accident was "well-reportet". but refusing to provide an informative link or just simply answer the initial question posted

Intestingly , I average 50 posts a year, You sir average 2000. I haven't read any of your posts until now but why do you feel the need to project your failings and internal doubts onto others, I do believe you should either increase your visits to your therapist or else request a refund and find one that is more effective. You're lack of self-esteem and general self loathing shines thru in the above statement. 

 

And in case your therapist can't define it, I provide at no extra charge

 

Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.

Riiiight............

Well, I suppose we are lucky you don't post very often.......

Yes, You are lucky, It would be a tragedy if you actually had to think about your responses. of course I am aware you use emojis in an attempt to be relevant. most find them ridiculous and juvenile. But hey you do you.

Probably because it is like the poster below assumes.

Yeah, sounds like logic, and after thta get rewarded with other peoples money for an unnecessary flight home.

Have you looked at yourself? If not, buy a mirror.

Oh, the little boy wanted to go home for Christmas, so mummy started a GoFundMe for him.

You better pray you never have such an accident . You may keep your mouth closed about go fund me .He was working, he had  valid insurance, no booze found, he was in  a very bad way with more ops on the way. As I’ve said before, not everyone has 50 000 € savings just waiting to be of use. He is better at home with his family by his side . What makes you think you have any right to order what’s best for other people ?  I for one wish him all the very best as I’m sure most normal people on ASEAN would.

Good to see a happy story for a change. I wish him health and a speedy recovery. Not everyone is fortunate when it comes to go fund me. I started one for a Thai lady whose leg was shattered in a motorbike accident and I got all of $60 US. I sent her $500 US. I guess it matters how many western friends you have and if your big on Tiktok and/or youtube. 

 

did she require repatriation?

So obviously it hurts you, isn't it? And then you feel right to insult again? Pathetic.

I genuinely think you have mental issues. What are u talking about, I simply told u what my thai specialist advised me, I actually said something related to the topic. It was u that simply had nothing to say related to the topic and could only insult. Again,  it just shows a lack of knowledge and intelligence.

Well, if insults belong to your daily habits, please don't contact me. I'll block you.

My reply to a personal attack is removed but the attack against me is not. Great job of censorship. Go ahead and ban me for pointing out how 1 sided the moderation is here.

Why should I have to search for a link to save you from doing it?  Do it yourself!
