UK Hostel Owner, Joe Morrissey, in a Coma in Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

What a tiresome thread. It's like 440 all over again. No one knows the circumstances of the accident and it's not compulsory to contribute. But often many people do and save someone's life. Intensive care at that Thai hospital in Phnom Penh was $2000 a day ten years ago.
Calling people snowflake is just ridiculous, what happened to good old fashioned abuse.

depends where and how you ride. some helnet test areuseless like drooping a steel spike from 1 metre. at low speedup to 30kmh the cheap helmets can be just as good depending what you hit. At 180kph the cheap hemet will be probably useless.
so will be the expensive one!
I used to think so, but I worked for a firm that specialised in traffic accident compensation. In town a helmet will save you from nasty injuries, especially a good full face which can protect your jaw (having daid that we had one guy who near dies because the chin piece collapsed into his mouth). It will not save you from the number 10 bus running over your head, but a trip through a windscreen in survivable.
On dual carrigaeways a good helmet is much more useful at speed if you slide of ona bend If you a high side at speed nothing will save you.

I have never seen him or know him. But,why are you talking about helmets for someone who needs help? Things with or without a helmet have already happened. I will send it to the Chinese community to help him. Maybe I don't know much about your culture.

I didn't mean it to anyone, just to make my point.

Leave everything behind, if you need help one day, would you like to see this post?

Does it say he doesn’t have helmet on...? Why it matters to you is beyond me.

I prefer a land cruiser over a pick up. Life isn’t a request show. If they love their son, they should take a loan from a bank instead of begging for money.
it’s his friends who want to club together to help him - it’s not begging it’s helping someone completely adored, I’m assuming people maybe wouldn’t react the same if it was you just from reading your opinion...
