"Amazing" the motorbike don't stop...

What a lucky guy…the wheels ran over his shoulder….missed his head by couple of inches. Wouldn't be surprised if he broke his collarbone.

Wow….thais really take the cake.

Ouch!! but walking down the middle of the road, you are asking for trouble?

I hope he makes a full recovery but he must have pretty serious injuries.

Horrific.

Ouch!! but walking down the middle of the road, you are asking for trouble?

As opposed to walking into a large area of water? May I remind you of;

- the electrocution of the young foreigner in Patong when he touched a life wire that was in a puddle of water

- the broken ankle of the elderly gent when he assumed that he could traverse a puddle, that was really a large hole in the pavement

It is difficult to walk safely in Thailand when sidewalks are obstructed with debris and vendors or are in poor condition.

How about focusing on the reckless negligent driver who fled the scene of his collision?

how about the man choosing a different place to walk? Be patient and go a few yards further down as the couple in front of him did. Of course the truck driver should have stopped, no argument there. The man looked a bit off to me.

Motobike kept driving.
