Brit tourist has moto crash family start GoFundme

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

"A BRIT builder has been left with ‘half his scalp hanging off’ after suffering horrific head injuries in a motorbike accident in Thailand.

Breaking your neck is a big deal, but obviously he hasn't suffered spinal injury. The scalp thing isn't anything major, it's just a flap of skin.
When you get a motorcycle accident with head trauma such as that a neck brace will be applied as an initial precautionary measure. The head trauma to me looks like the person was not wearing a helmet and would be indicative of possible serious brain injury. Once the victim is stabilized, braced etc.The neck injury then becomes not the primary concern. However I would think that dealing with the likelihood of a subdural hematoma would be the first concern for "medivac".
