"does not need a repatriation flight"

Why it was necessary to fly back to UK?

Docs often or most are better than in NHS.

 

Docs often or most are better than in NHS?...Not from what I have seen, with most foreigners returning to their home country when they get seriously ill,     and not only because of costs

Hmmh, and where is the accusation? 

But I will enlighten you: I worked for the NHS.....as a Doctor.

Still, no accusation to be seen. Better ask the police. I'm not a lawyer as you know now.

Well there we have it.

The reason his insurance is not paying and the reason why the fluff piece to get sympathy for his gofundme didn’t mention the details of his accident. 
 

That’s a different story!!!!!

So, you still do not provide any proof of what you say about thai doctors compared with British doctors... come on mate, you made the comparison.

Yes, you're wrong.

 

But it does appear he was at fault for the accident.

 

Quote

Despite insisting faulty brakes were the real culprits behind the crash, McDonald was forced to dig deep into his pockets, shelling out a shocking £700 (31,000 baht) in damage and compensation costs to the other driver.

 

Scott McDonald was responsible for his scooter accident on Koh Pha Ngan.

 

This thread is about Andy Davis and his motorcycle accident on an island near Krabi.

Yes, jumping to conclusions based on misinformation or ignorance is sadly a growing trend these days.

Being a passenger on a motorcycle taxi that was involved in a collision with another vehicle where the motorcycle driver was found to be intoxicated notwithstanding, insurance cover for being either the driver or passenger on a motorcycle in Thailand doesn't exist.

Pororbor, 30000 baht.

I believe that probably covered the on-site triage and the ambulance costs.

 

For everything else, there's GoFundMe.

The difference is she can get free hospital treatment and does not need a repatriation flight.

 

No details of why his travel insurance did not cover the costs, but good luck to him anyway.

Possibly didnt have a UK motorcycle license.

Sad storey and I hope he recovers ok, but he should have taken out insurance because you never know when something is gonna happen.

said the 33 year old was “significantly better” and feeling “much more positive,” since returning home.

Seriously? One look out the window would do me in. Surely that 20k£ was better spent in Thailand? 

 

Oh well. Good luck young man
