webfact Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Foreign tourist badly injured by big bike in Pattaya By The Nation video screenshot An unidentified foreign tourist was injured when he was hit by a large motorcycle while walking roadside in Pattaya early on Tuesday. The Pattaya police station was alerted of the 2am accident on Pattaya 2 Road in Moo 9 village in Tambon Nong Plue in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung district. Adujdej Prumali, 27, lost control of his Kawasaki ER6N motorcycle and plowed into the tourist. The collision caused a big gash to the tourist’s abdomen, and blood was seen seeping from his mouth. He also suffered broken legs and a broken right arm and was rushed to a nearby hospital. A witness, Paweena Kerdmongkol, 19, told police that he saw the motorcycle speeding to overtake a songtaew bus before it lost control and hit the pedestrian.

Nyezhov Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 If it isnt bad enough that Thais themselves are responsible for road carnage, now we have a non thai doing it too? I wonder how much of the road carnage here is attributable to foreigners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Andersen Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Just another insane high speed accident I wonder that the tourist have to pay for his operation and hospital as the lady that got hit by a jet ski Thailand is so safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my experience here in Pattaya. Many big bike riders are crazy on the roads and drive too fast. I spotted a farang on a big bike in Jomtien the other day , no helmet and was speeding like a crazy idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adulyadej was a former king of Thailand. Prumali is a place in the Pakistani Punjab. Probably just a bad translation from the police report. Could be Thai, could be Pakistani, could be a Pakistani/Thai luk keung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find a guy on the asphalt "with a big gash to the abdomen, blood seeping from his mouth with broken legs and a broken right arm", what kind of first aid are you going to administer? As for the driver, ditto: he is still wearing his helmet, you cannot remove that, most you can do is place him in the recovery position but it's still risky if bones were broken. I hope the poor guy makes it through and doesn't have his life ruined because of yet another idiot on wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmen Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Not my experience here in Pattaya. Many big bike riders are crazy on the roads and drive too fast. I spotted a farang on a big bike in Jomtien the other day , no helmet and was speeding like a crazy idiot. Imbecile farang on big bikes regularly open the throttle on soi Buakhao where there is no footpath. I always think surely they will slide out under a truck but sadly it never happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
