one more time some foreigners who think they can do whatever they want in Pattaya. No helmet again and probably at that time full of alcohol or drugs that's why the other guy escaped. What a shame ,in their own country they would never do those kind of things.

RIP poor guy.

I hope they catch him. buy the way I am glad I dont have anyfriends like that.

RIP to the dead guy.

But his friend just ran away and left? That is low... f'ng low.

Agreed, seems the idea of doing something

or getting a drunk driving / vehicular homicide stay in Bangkok Hilton

didn't add up right on his addled mental calculator.

RIP foreign man.

Are the pictures next to text of the model of bike that they were riding?

If not its a terrible place for an advert.

At least the message " Yamaha. Touching Your Heart" could have been taken out, dear oh dear.

The accident started off on Pratumnak and then ended up on Thappraya road.

Any danger these reporters could get at least the scene of the accident right?

Urban public roads, Thailand or anywhere in the world, are no places for high power motorbikes.

RIP to the guy and I hope karma has a nice surprise in store for the rat that did a runner.

the update did not mention a runner. they may have got that wrong as well

Apparantly the victim was the owner of the popular Canary Bay restaurant/guesthouse on Jomtien soi 4.I ran into a former tenant by chance yesterday and he said they only know the runner's first name.
