Early hours of the morning a friend of mine was driving his motor bike and collided with another bike at 0300 hrs this morning and died at the scene.

the crash was near Bangkok Hospital where his body was taken to and now has been moved to the morgue in Nathong.

The man was a local electrician that has left his misses behind who is pregnant with his child

I'm always saying to people ,that in a Thailand where there is A large volume of traffic,don't ride to wheels.In the 43 years that I have been coming to Thailand,I can't count the number of farangs that have had major accidents on 2 wheels.

RIP phat Phil

Have to agree, even if you are experienced.

I think a lot of the figures come from the fact that many people hire bikes they don't know how to handle.

The structure around 4 wheels at least gives you some protection.

Meanwhile, RIP Phil.

RIP to the Englishman.

This is not the time nor place but please understand that there is a counter argument to your statement about riding around in 4 wheeled tanks as opposed to 2 wheeled.

If you wish to discuss it further, we can fork this thread elsewhere.

Don't normally post, but I knew Phil for a few years and he was a sound guy who will be missed.

I would greatly appreciate any information anyone has on the funeral arrangements.

We all know many people who have died on bikes on this island, and we all know how dangerous the roads and drivers are here; but out of respect for Phil would it be possible to keep this thread for condolences and funeral arrangements?

RIP Phil
