Re: Uninsured Brit on a moto hit by car faces massive medical bills
I feel for the guy, if you on a short trip, getting full inc moto riding insurance before you travel a must!. But try getting long term insurance, the cost is astronomical!. It would beore than half of what I get from my UK property that funds my stay. Getting rear ended is something you can't see coming, or to maneuver out of.

some of those guys will haul ass when they see orange..

And so it goes on.
British Man has Leg Amputated after Being Dragged Under Transport Truck in Central Thailand
23 march 2018
Harry Buster, 29, from London, has lost his leg after he collided with lorry in Kancahanaburi, west Thailand, and was dragged under the vehicle for nearly 50 feet.
- A 29 year-old British man has had his right leg amputated and is fighting for his life after a horror motorbike crash in Kancahanaburi Thailand.
Harry Buster, 29, a bartender from London, collided with lorry and was dragged under the vehicles for nearly 50 feet, suffering serious injuries.
Mr Buster has lost his leg from the knee down and medics in Kancahanaburi, west Thailand, are now preparing to remove everything below the hip due to the severe damage.
He also suffered a shattered pelvis, broken ribs, internal bleeding on his liver, kidneys and lungs and currently has a 50 per cent chance of survival
Mr Buster’s friend James Bailey, 43, has launched a funding campaign to pay for his medical bills, which – as Mr Buster did not have travel insurance – are estimated to more than £23,000.

I’d never advise anyone who doesn’t ride a scooter or moto in their own country to ride here.

Well, considering his long list of injuries, £23,000 sounds a bargain!Mr Buster has lost his leg from the knee down and medics in Kancahanaburi, west Thailand, are now preparing to remove everything below the hip due to the severe damage.
He also suffered a shattered pelvis, broken ribs, internal bleeding on his liver, kidneys and lungs and currently has a 50 per cent chance of survival

Re: Uninsured Brit on a moto hit by car faces massive medical bills
i take multiple country long stay insurance out to cover me for 6-8 months in Cambodia and Thailand and usually comes to around the £70, it covers you for riding a motorbike too (as long as you was wearing a helmet and sober)Kuroneko wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:45 pm A father-of-six is in an induced coma after he was hit by a car while in Thailand. Mark Haley, 55, from Borehamwood, was travelling on a moped yesterday in Hua Hin, Phetchaburi, when he was struck from behind by a car.
He has been in Thailand on holiday for three weeks visiting friends but took out no travel insurance for the trip. The hospital he is currently at does not provide the treatment that he needs. http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news/ ... h/?ref=rss
Why? I can understand a young penniless backpacker who is traveling for an extended period risking being uninsured, it goes with the stupidity of youth. But for a mature father of six who is on a short holiday risking it, and putting all his family at financial risk for just a few pounds!
Make a memorable trip to Thailand with a great value travel insurance policy starting from just £23.50* to cover your worldwide travel
