rooster59 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Fifteen-Year-Old Boy Crashes Motorbike on the Day of Enlightenment Albert Jack PATTAYA: At 11am on the morning of May 20th the Sawangboriboon Mobile Ambulance rushed to the scene of a motorcycle accident involving fifteen-year old student named Adee.Upon their arrival the lad explained to medics that he had taken his motorcycle out to buy food for his family to celebrate Visakhabucha (The Day of the Big Buddha) and on his way he noticed a particularly beautiful female student walking across the road.This vision before him led to a moment of Enlightenment and he left his mind behind, lost both his concentration, and control of his motorbike and crashed into the pavement.

RIJoe Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I believe that "moment of Enlighten" has a more physical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) He ' left his mind behind ' ! Don't leave home without it. This is going to join the list of excuses along with brake failure, rain made the road slippery etc. Edited May 21, 2016 by NongKhaiKid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glumpy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The lad should have gone to SpecSavers ! Hope he finds his helmet... what helmet ! Many of the kids in our village, not yet in their teens, are not heavy enough to kick start the bike and have to get and adult to do it for them. Their legs are not long enough to reach the ground when seated and have to jump forward, clear of the seat, to place their feet on the ground. Parents seem happy for these kids to ride out onto the busy main road to buy food from the next village........usually on the hard shoulder against the flow of traffic and often with a couple of their younger siblings riding pillion. Nice to see the younger generation starting early to break the rules which I'm sure they will continue to do, as we see daily, throughout their lives.

bluebluewater Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Depending on what part of town I may be in I have a similar "enlightenment" several times a day. Perhaps because I'm a little bit older I have not felt his pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiwill60 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Are we being told here that this was the only accident happening to a fifteen year old on a motorbike on this auspicious day??? Scraping the barrel for a news story this is. He doesn't even look seriously injured, a bit of pain in his wrist and some gravel rash!!!

Lannig Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Funny story, at least part of it is probably true. He didn't try to invent a stray dog crossing the street or some car cutting him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 15 years, "his motorbike", no drivers license. I guess the ones in desperate need of "enlightenment" here are his stupid parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lannig Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 To all people being offended to see a 15yo drive a motorbike let me ask you: where are you living? Every morning the large Mathayom School on the other side of the road has tens if not over a hundred of 15 yo (or so) riding a bike to school. I guess that many, many people need enlightenment then. As for "his" motorbike... as I see it the family's bike, more likely. Which tends to become "his" bike when Mom and Dad aren't using it and on weekends like in many Thai families with a teenage boy.
