Your dead right there, she was just a kid - IF its proved that he was intoxicated, then its another grim statistic.

Sooner the police clamp down on drinking and driving in Thailand, then the safer we'll all be.

Surely riding a bike drunk with a pillion passenger at 4.30am quailifies him as being stupid .....

Actually the Girl had just turned 16. Her date of Birth was 20th July 1996. Full report on Pattaya One later.

If he hadn't died, they'd have caught him anyway for pedophilia for taking a barely 16-year-old girl from the bar! It's a lose-lose situation either way.

By the way, I wish reports wouldn't keep referring to Pattaya as "Chonburi". Chonburi is 60 km away from Pattaya. Tambon Naklua is in the north of Pattaya, right next to the centre of downtown Pattaya. Not even close to Chonburi!

Hey...Stop calling this type of event an "Accident"!!! It was a CRASH which was caused by reckless driving. An accident is what happens if you are driving safely, at a safe speed, with head and seat belt protection, and a meteor comes out of nowhere and strikes you down. Any incident caused by human error is not an "accident". After being fully analyzed, it was caused by carelessness. Period.

She also was not a Chonburi resident, according to the Thai press, being from rural Khok Sung, on the border with Cambodia in Sa Gaeo province, so maybe she didn't know the roads either.

[maidu]

a drug-related crime.

Meanwhile, hemp is illegal and alcohol is legal. Go figure.

Hemp never killed anybody (can't even get stoned on the stuff) and alcohol harms dozens per day, just in Thailand.

Witnesses told police that the tourist appeared drunk

is hardly proof... one poster assumes the young girl was his lover, whilst that is an understandable assumption, it is also an unknown. The one thing we know is that two people died, RIP

I think you would find insurance companies would class that as an 'act of God' not an accident.

1) Pattaya is in Chonburi Province.

2) Please do not say the poor girl was a bar girl. You have no idea and it is a sick statement. !!!!!!!

Actually it's an accident. Wikipedia definition... An accident or mishap is an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance, often with lack of intention or necessity. It usually implies a generally negative outcome which may have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence.

I think this is what the vast majority would count as an accident.

Very true. Many drunk 50 somethings take their step-daughters for a spin on their bikes at 4:30 in the morning.

By definition, 98% of the tourists are stupid . This is clearly shown in the latest TAT investigation which will not be publicized because it is too negative for the tourist image

[yougivemebaby]

Very sad situation. Stop bickering and give the poor families some respect.

Maybe it was his stepdaughter. Bit early to be labeling the dude a kiddy fiddler.

In the images no indication they were wearing any helmets either. What a waste, I hate drunk pricks driving. If you drive drunk, take it personally please Your turn is next.

Intoxicated or not, grim or not, it's another statistic.

As for "police clamp down on drinking and driving in Thailand" you gotta be joking. If there is no money to be made they don't give a shyt.

The papers refer to it as Chonburi so tourists keep coming back to Pattaya

[falang07]

I suppose that if they had written that one could drive drunken with 16 years old girls in the night, it could bring even more tourists to Pattaya.
