You know how hard it is to avoid pedestrians when your blind drunk ? These farang have no Thai road sense, ie they walk at night, how risky is that !

Would never have happened if the farang had stayed at home, ergo its his fault !

Please note this is English humour Mad having to explain my post but I see from other humourous posts that some people here do not understand appropriate smileys or have zero sense of humour

(i'm not british) i did understood the humor

My sympathies to my fellow countryman. Its always a worry when walking that you can be at the mercy of so many dickheads on motor bikes.

hope he has insurance the thais wont pay even if obviously at fault ..

From the pictures it looks like the accident happened on the road, drunk driver or not don't people wait until there is NO incoming traffic to cross the road ?

Anyways I wish a speedy recovery to the Irish man
