October 28, 2025Oct 28 Has anyone managed to get them to let you view CCTV there? Had an accident Friday 24th close to, and just past, the traffic lights Pratumnak Hill/Thappraya road South bound. Not a clue what happened, one minute I am driving, the next I am standing on the North bound side with my bike with blood on my face, and grazers on all four limbs, no one else seemed to be involved Did not hit my head as confirmed by CT scan, got a police report, and the bike insurance paid for my treatment, but would love to know what happened
October 28, 2025Oct 28 Ask them. I have been able to view many videos in shops just be politely requesting. Failing which, pay a cop a thousand baht, and get him to go with you. Be ready with your camera video set on recording, because getting a copy is often difficult.
October 28, 2025Oct 28 You definitely can, you just need to find out who has the video, be quick they may write over it in a few days
October 28, 2025Oct 28 Had my rear window smashed and leather suitcases stolen from an underground carpark in Amsterdam. The CCTV was pointed right at it, but the police said I would have to pay 400 Euros to view the video. Hope you have better luck.

Many years ago a group of us went to Amsterdam and couldn't find our hotel after spending many hours in various coffee shops Ended up going to the train station for a sleep and woke up and my friend had his Nike Air max trainers stolen straight off his feet while asleep luckily i had some rank converse trainers Found the hotel about 11,30am next day and told to check out

October 28, 2025Oct 28 Unless you pay the right chap in brown uniform, as a falang, chances to get any justice in a road mishap (or even other court litigations) are close to Nil in Thailand.

Not looking for that, already insurance has paid for my treatment, just want to know what happened, as I have no memory of the accident, been driving a bike here for 30 years on and off, and it was my first one

That may be the reason they hardly use it till after an event.

You really need to see that video. 😉 Anyway, It sounds on you that it was manageable. Lucky it didn´t turn out worse.

October 29, 2025Oct 29 Author Popular Post OK, City Hall very helpful, but I think you would need a police report to go there, first thing they asked me for Not going to post the video as I don't want it all over the net 100% my fault, trying to get across to the u-turn to go south, an oncoming bike with a Thai couple hit me, I must have miss-read their speed, they both came off as well, I look like I was conscious the whole time, but can't remember anything I saw on the video, a police bike was there also The couple, looks like the guy got me up and helped me and the cop wheeled my bike across to the side, even looks I was talking to them. Crazy its all a blank. I am on the left
October 29, 2025Oct 29 Popular Post @Seppius: this sounds like at least a very serious concussion you had there. You mentjoned medical treatment, but if you had such a long blackout of an episode you were conscious and acting normally, even five days later I would go to the hospital once more and have this checked out, so that there are not more serious issues like a brain bleed etc. I am not a medical professional, BTW, just a lay mans opinion.

I've had two accidents where I blacked out and have no recollection of what happened and both were caused by head trauma. One of them I woke up in a ditch 4 hours after (confirmed by my GPS) without a scratch on my body. The brain can slam against your skull and your head doesn't have to hit anything. Happy you and the others involved are all good 🙂

I was very lucky, and also very relieved the Thai couple were ok.

The train station zone has been the high crime, scummy part of the city for at least 50 years. I spent a lot of time in Amsterdam in July and August this year and had no issues, but then I stayed in the primarily white and Christian parts of the city. My only problems were with certain non residents, otherwise I had a wonderful safe time walking through ouid zuid to Rembrandtplein to Leidesplein. My afternoons spent in sunny Vondelpark were a delight. An expensive city, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed.
