unanimosity Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Good luck to the guy to find the Thais that he is looking for ! Is there a good chance that the BIB will produce somebody? Never know, might be a reward lurking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alwyn Posted October 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2013 Methinks they have Iceland and Ireland mixed up. Ronan Brady is a very Irish name but either way, well done mate. I hope you find the people that helped you. A lot of people have very short memories and take help for granted, you've done the right thing. Hat off to you and of course the people that helped save you! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 An Irishman who suffered severe burn injuries in a Pattaya road crash ... It seems Pattaya One is doing better than Pattaya Daily News when it comes to nationalities. Extremely negative post directed at Thai's removed from view. If all you want to do is hack on Thai's, why are you even here? "If all you want to do is hack on Thai's, why are you even here?" A classic mystery that has remained unsolved for years.

Mister Fixit Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Icelandic?? Ireland me thinks. Iceland, Ireland sound same same. Good luck to the guy all the same. With a name like Ronan Brady, Ireland for sure. Still, Thais have always been useless at geography, or a sub-editor made a typo ... Ah, having read more posts above, rubbish reporting is the answer, it seems. Edited October 6, 2013 by Mister Fixit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby johnson Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Awful that people are welcomed as guests to stay in this country and then spend their days feeling extremely bitter and hating on the Thais 24/7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 More a comment on the fact-checking... !st report says the accident was in January 2003, so I figured they couldn't count when they said 9 years ago. 2nd report says the accident was in January 2004, so maybe the first reporter can count, and just had a typo. I will admit - when I read the headline about someone coming to thank the people who saved him 9 years ago, I was assuming it was a tsunami story.

mogoso Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I wish him success in finding the proper person(s) who aided him, in particular the taxi driver who risked some harm to his own self. May a happy meeting occur with much fun and tears of joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakatak Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I met Ronan and at my friend's bar on Saturday night - an incredibly nice bloke and typical stoical Ulsterman. The story does indeed have a happy ending as he found one of the men involved in saving his life. He has been back to Thailand 5 times in 10 years and my friend has been involved in weeding out the "heroes" coming forward in the hope of some reward money! This would happen anywhere, of course. Sadly, the second man involved in the incident has since died but Ronan has traced his wife and family and is arranging to take them all out for a meal. I think we often forget on TV there is good and bad in every culture. Ronan's life was saved by 2 genuine Thai heroes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
