In an emergency just swim at night.

Don't forget to tie a few empty plastic bottles together, for a buoyancy aid as well.

I'm not sure but interesting 

I never meet any of the upper class Brits in Pattaya 

Where do the judges and politicians etc go ?

Somewhere similar to Epstein Island I suspect 

I implore all here to look at the young girls photo. Ask yourself would you offer $675 au. in money to compensate the family to compensate this girls death? I hope he gets a minimum of 10 years. He's absolute scum.

I'm British, I think it should be a minimum of 15 years! I hope he rots!

Temporary or replacement passport can be applied for in the country he has fled to. Don't know why they released him on bail.

 

He can try, but if the British Embassy in that country has been circulated the details about him - no way!

The issue with all of these reports is that follow up information is non-existent to extremely rare, so we never know exactly what a Thai would get under the same circumstances.

That's the policeman that hit the doctor in 2022.

 

Thats one.

Never crossed a land border here.......but I can't imagine it would be that difficult to cross with help.

 

He should never have been released.......unless this is what the Thai authorities hoped would happen.......one less problem to deal with.

 

Do not know about other borders but the one with malaysia has towns basically integrated with the other side and specially malayans hop in and off like nothing through not oficial channels..sp the youth like to party at the thai side obvious reasons....

 

And well the laos borders all you need is someone willing to take you to the oposite  bank off the mekong ...is not It?

 

If he is being helped so easy to escape .....then get back to europe might be an issue through air with no docs ...

It doesn't take a genius what is attracting these sorts of men to Thailand. Over the past few years we've seen masses of them arrive in Thailand. 

you have to take the rough with the smooth.

You start feeling a bit excited after staring at the "young" girl's photo (she's a 49-year-old woman!) and on that basis you decide that the compensation should be higher???

 

A crime is a crime, regardless of the victim's attractiveness rating.

I heard he has Red Bull contacts!🤔

No idea what a "Northerner" is , obviously from the North of England?

Is that a "lower" class area of England?

you are speaking english  yes

you should learn about the England

seeing that you are speaking it

Hmmm...not sure if you are the one one to pontificate about England/English.

There is no good side to this story. He cannot be that bad just for a driving error, Why not just kill him? Ten years in Thai prison will destroy any man.

... and then there is the grade A1 halfwittedness of suggesting that anyone who speaks English should learn about England...  I've no idea how anyone, regardless of how dumb they are could attempt to try and draw that conclusion.

A crime is a crime, regardless of the victim's attractiveness rating.

 

A crime is a crime, life is life etc.. I think everyone agrees... and that is dealt with by criminal charges and sentencing.

 

However, compensation may consider variables such as age, where the 'earning potential' is now lost, and children and family have less financial support... thus age could well factor into compensation...  as you point out, degree of attractiveness is irrelevant.

 

Was she wearing a helmet? It's the law I believe.
His lawyer will argue that head injuries only occurred because she wasn't wearing a crash-hat.

But a max of 10 years is lenient for this matter, max 12-18 years in UK.

He was seen eating Laab Moo on the corner of Kophai and South Pattaya Rd, using one of those odd shaped local spoons.

He did a stupid thing, exacerbated by it being a electric bike. Normally you would hear the idiot in the vicinity, but if it's a quiet bike, it's entirely possible that the lady had no idea of an approaching vehicle.

 

 

 

That`s  why i hate everything electric on the streets.  you don`t hear them coming, very dangerous as a bike rider.

Hate electric cars with a passion, not only because i`m german , but i prefer the roaring sound of a Porsche Boxer motor than a Teslas` any time of the day.

The Australian bikies?

Hells angels ,that was around 10 years ago 

 

No, I looked into it. And no one was ever charged with the murder. The killers were an Englishman and a South African who fled to Cambodia then vanished.

Hopefully he will get 10 years!

Why? That would be far more  than is customary for the incident. It was an unintended consequence of  stupidity, not an intentional killing. No, I am not excusing the driver, but first offenders in Thailand typically don't get more than 1-2 years at best for vehicular deaths. 10 years is what might be given to a multiply convicted drunk driver fleeing.

WOW! What empathy! 

 he wasn't drunk nor on drugs - so he did this in a rational and sane state of mind ? So should be given a lenient sentence? 

 

I think JakeC is in a relationship with Brandon, certainly has a sweet spot for him.

Well it does say in the thread he faces UP TO ten years and ten years is the maximum for the upgraded charge of  'reckless driving causing death'. Not sure what would be customary.... 

Getting released after 1 or 2 years for causing death of an innocent person due to reckless behaviour would seem extremely light and an insult to the victim and her family.

Selfish unfortunately 

Angry old men still venting? He's not going to be sentenced to ten years in jail, so stop salivating over it. Sorry for your disappointment @Ralf001 You'll just need to find someone else to hate.

If you get your passport confiscated, they report it to the person's embassy immediately. No chance of him getting a new passport or even a temporary in another country. 

no they dont 

its Thailand 

if this guy fled the country  and applied straight away he could get a temp passport 

everything here takes days and days to fix any kind of document report

 

If prooved guilty in court, 10 years in the ladyboy unit of a seedy thai jail would be fine.
