Ricky Eury, a beloved figure in Bristol's food scene and the mastermind behind the award-nominated Gorilla Thai Kitchens, is on a tumultuous road to recovery after a horrific road accident in Thailand. Eury, who was severely injured in a night-time crash with a motorbike in Phuket, has been discharged from the hospital but remains medically frail and incapable of returning to the UK due to outstanding health challenges.

 

The accident saw Eury, 39, sustain a fractured skull, brain bleed, shattered nose, and broken ribs. Shockingly, his travel insurance had lapsed just a day before the incident, leaving him with daunting medical expenses exceeding £30,000. Hit by a Yamaha XMAX driven by a Russian couple, Sergei and Svetlana Medvedev, Eury's ordeal has resonated deeply with both the local and British communities.

 

 

 

Friends and family are anguished at the geographical and financial distance separating them from Eury, whose culinary passion and Bristolian roots have fostered significant support. A fundraising campaign for his medical expenses has impressively raised over £30,000. Additionally, a benefit night is planned in Bristol next month to compound the efforts in bringing him back home.

 

Eury's father highlights his relentless dedication to combining fitness and culinary excellence, a commitment now echoed by friends and supporters rallying for his recovery and eventual homecoming. Though daunting, the Bristol food and fight communities remain hopeful, united in their mission to see Ricky back on his feet and thriving once more.

Surely they should pay for his treatment unless it was his fault, in which case he should pay for any damage to their vehicle.

 

Someone is liable here, insurance or not.

 

I guess he's lucky it's only £30k if it has been determined that he has to pay for it himself.
