KhunBENQ Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Both survived. Only one hospitalized. They seem to get a second chance. (from a Phuket Gazette report in another thread) Women? Well close to. Quote The crash victims were both ladyboys riding from Patong toward Phuket Town, Kathu Police officers told Phuket Gazette reporters. Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers transported them to Patong Hospital. The more severely injured of the two was later transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital, where she remains in the Intensive Care Unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ladies clearly were in the wrong lane and hit the pickup head-on. There was nothing the pickup driver could of done to avoid it. Luckily he had a dash cam. they can come in pretty handy; when you need one, you REALLY need one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The two men on the bike are apparently recovering well in hospital. Fortunately they are out of danger. The bike rider may be charged. "Mr Nattharikar has not been charged yet as he is still recovering in hospital, but will most likely be charged with reckless driving"Read more at http://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-ladyboys-safe-after-patong-hill-motorbike-pickup-slam-62187.php#UfzYxJ3DGUiSgvox.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats rubbish! People don't beep at this point, they beep three times about 300 meters up the road at the peak of patong hill outside the Chinese temple, they do this both ways towards Patong and towards Kathu (the direction these two ladies were heading, travelling way too fast for that corner and not paying attention) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats much further away.A local told me ,but i haven't been back since 2004 so they might have changed the road layout since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokie Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Afraid there no small sala's of which you speak from 13 years ago in that area, as said only beeps now are for good merit at the temple at top of hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
