Medics attending to the victim.

PHUKET: -- A Russian tourist was killed after he lost control of his motorcycle and hit the side walk early this morning (October 2) in Rawai.

At 1:00am Chalong police and Rumjai rescuers were called to the scene and found the body of the victim Pavel Dzembo, 24, lying in a pool of blood and his motorbike nearby.

Rescuers took the body of the victim to Vachira hospital while police questioned witnesses.

The victim left Reggae Bar near Nai Harn lagoon and was on his way back to his hotel when the accident took place.

Police believe the victim may have been drinking which may have caused him to lose control of the bike and hit the pavement at high impact.

Coming from a bar and may have been drinking. The Brilliance of some of their statements just dazzles me at times.

Darn...he did not stick around long enough to take advantage of the open visa afforded Russians and other perks...designed to flood the county with those fine folk...

He could have been made to have an accident! Well yeah I don't know that.

Yep so you go to a bar to talk to the the ladies, remain sober,have an altercation about the price of the tea or something, then on ya way home you have an accident. Case closed. Everyone wins.

For once the cops are saying he "may" have been drinking.

I wonder why that is?

has to do with THAINESS

[RigPig]

I wonder if he had a bike license and if not who is responsible for renting him the bike?

[mikiea]

no to fond of the rooskies ? :-)

I rented a bike on Beach road next to the Police station some years ago before I had a Thai license. I had a USA, Florida license and the tout accepted it--- NO PROBLEM. The motorcycle had an empty gas tank so I put a gallon or so of gas in the tank for a pleasant sober few hours ride in the country. 30 seconds after buying gas I was waved over and threatened with ticket wearing the wrong color helmet for that day or noise or something. A 500 baht donation to the police orphans fund returned me to the motorcycle tout. "Give me my money back" oh no! So I ride down to walking street and circle down 2nd to return after a short stop.Tout happy with day's rental plus nearly full gas tank and his police neighbor happy with 500 Baht. Next victim not happy with a liter of coke in the gas tank.

Looks more like medics posing for the newspaper pic to me.

I think they made it up. They need news to have readers to pay for it.

I need a bloody Russian on the payment sleeping with someone pointing at him.

Or it didn't happen.

Contrary to popular belief most drunk drivers get home safe and sound, incident free. Especially those with practise as I am

sure this guy did have. Maybe another vehicle was involved, maybe it was his unfamiliarity with the road. Not condoning

driving while impaired, just saying. We have all/most done it in the past. Now it has become socially unacceptable

in most countries and we have accepted that one should not, we do not. I do not judge, but wish he could have learnt

from his mistake rather than pay the ultimate price. He was not driving a truck, bus, car. He will be missed

by family and friends. RIP

Thanks for a sensible and sensitive post in this thread.

Reggae bars don't have 'ladies' Or the mongers they attract which is why I favoured them when first here after having had a gutfull of 'boomboomboom I want you in my room' busting out of a tinny soundsystem midst a load of corpulent drunken old guys who all had 'portraits in the attic'

Nowadays, not so much. They've all become over commercialised rip off joints, much like the rest of the island

If only he took one of the many METERED taxis available on Phuket - he would still be alive.
