Sad loss...may they RIP.....

.I once got a lecture off my old boss in Chanthaburi about smoking near where her son and his pals hung out so they didn't pick up on my nasty habit. when I told her it may be a better idea to make her precious boy wear a helmet and stop racing up Raksakchamun while stocious on 100 Pipers every Friday,but it fell on deaf ears until she had to scrape the poor lad off the road....shame as he really was a top kid....smart, erudite (apart from road safety), spoke excellent English but thought he was immortal...(don't we all at 15)?

Parents need to get a grip of their kids and stop spoiling their sons. say NO! until they do we'll have more of these horrid tales...week in, week out,,,,

[rgs2001uk]

23 and 30 years old, hardly kids.

No sympathay here, at least they didnt wipe out innocent bystanders.

These idiots are better off the road than on it.

[i claudius]

And my son wondered why i would never buy him a motorbike when he was only 15. sad way to end ,but at this age we are all invincable.

[JakeBKK]

now the count is up to eight, on that stretch of road

[balo]

Teenagers? 30 years old , no he is a man without a brain .

Two racers die after high speed crash in South Pattaya

The deceased bike drivers were named as Khun Garinchai aged 23, who was driving a Yamaha Fino, and Khun Anaeg aged 20 who was driving a Honda Sonic. Both suffered catastrophic life-ending injuries.

Khun Tanasaert aged 41, who owns a bar close to the scene of the crash, told Police that the two racers were part of a gang consisting of 10 motorbikes.

Not surprised when I read news like this, what really surprise me is why this is not daily news when I see how the youngsters are racing on they'r bikes everywhere in Thailand

[edwinchester]

A race......against the flow of traffic.

Morons.

[Jane Doe]

Two more dangerous drivers 'disarmed'. May their soles rest in peace.

And my son wondered why i would never buy him a motorbike when he was only 15. sad way to end ,but at this age we are all invincable.

While death is tragic, I do agree with you 100%

No chance of these idiots killing innocent people in the future

[FireMedic]

Survival of the fittest. Only the strongest and smartest survive......maybe they will breed stupidity out of the gene pool soon enough.

[biggles45]

As someone who has nearly been the victim of these type of idiots racing in the streets of pattaya, I must admit that its hard to find sympathy. Just glad they didn't take anyone else with them.

[movsrus]

Actions have consequences and these two have found that out. I doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that driving like a bat out of hell in traffic is not a wise move. Sorry about the loss for the families involved but they brought this on themselves by their own actions and now they have to deal with the results.

[oldsailor35]

One had a broken skull......................i guess his crash helmet was'nt too good !

[OMGImInPattaya]

Glad these two idiots are off the road for good.

[Spoonman]

10/10 for effort.

[thaicbr]

One had a broken skull......................i guess his crash helmet was'nt too good !

You think he was wearing one? I doubt it probably had an amulet

Sent from my phone with the app thingy.

And the annual Darwin Award goes to...

They both sustained skull fractures and I doubt either one of them was wearing a helmet. It's not cool to wear one in the street racer scene!

The speed is not limited to kids but the Pizza delivery bike, totally no concern on on coming traffic, cutting me off infront in passing...swerving in and out..much fast than any ambulance car...crazy..thou I did see him once with his bike laying on road after an accident and noticed he took a baht bike to keep is product piping hot to some overweight foreignier awaiting his order.

Feel that the local police should site "Speeding as a fine" this would lessen the kaos in driving in Nakula..

[tingtongteesood]

Couldn't have happened to 2 more deserving idiots. Evolution and survival of the species in action....

[Doc46]

Sad, but hey their own stupid fault,,,,THEY WERE ADULTS, WHAT STUPID REPORTER CALL'S THEM TEENAGERS???????????

[Emdog]

I hope they hadn't already passed their idiot genes on to a new generation. Sorry, I don't feel sorry for them. Not at all.

[Loles]

Please. I'm begging, what kind of teenager who is 24 and 30 yrs. old.

I can't understand it AGAIN.

When the teenager age is finished in TH. I need help.

Other way this is a very sad story, but has some lucky aspects also:

- they killed each-other and not an innocent pedestrian, other biker, etc..

- they collided each-other and not a car, and the driver further has to live with this memory, involved in fatal accident.

THIS was a full dumb idiot diath and I'm not surprised cause I see them day by day, with their modified bikes, with crazy noisy loud and reckless driving.

sorry.

[Basil B]

"Police detained other gang members at the scene who refused to confirm or deny the witnesses story", I hope they charge all those involved with manslaughter, not that I would like to see any of them go to prison but I hope it would bring it home to them that they were partly responsible for the death of the two individuals.

[Ulic]

The roads are now just a little bit safer. They will be missed by none but there family.

Absolute morons racing against the traffic. The only thanks I have is nobody else was hurt

and these idiots will not kill anyone else on the road in the future.

[gp2002]

The racing part I can understand but...........AGAINST THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC?????

You just can't make this stuff up. It's a shame as Thailand just lost their future Prime Minister.
