The collision occurred near the intersection near the Rung Ruang Company. According to police, the crash happened shortly before 19:00 as the traffic light was about to change. The motorcyclist was travelling through the intersection when Mr. Kenyon was attempting to cross the road, leading to the fatal impact. Officers stated the collision took place outside a designated crosswalk area. Blood alcohol tests conducted on the motorbike rider showed he was sober and not under the influence at the time of the crash. Authorities said this finding would be factored into the ongoing investigation, alongside the video evidence and witness statements. Pattaya police have reminded pedestrians and motorists alike to use marked crossings and adhere to traffic signals to prevent similar tragedies".

Everyone drives/rides slowly, which makes it much safer for the 7-year olds on their e-bikes... No thanks! I think we all know Luang Prabang is in Laos. You seem to mention it in every post. I have no idea why.

I've been to The Alice and spent 10 years living on Aboriginal land on the Northern Territory. What are your experiences? And, no , Alice Springs is not a first nations area. It is a town where some Aboriginal people live. The vast majority are non Aboriginal. When you have never been west of the Blue Mountains it's best not to lecture to those that have been around a bit. Your lack of geographic knowledge doesn't surprise me in the least.
