here in thailand we have nearly daily horror stories, usually involving tourists renting
scooters/motorcycles with no motorcycle license and almost always without travel
health insurance. those that happened to have coverage almost always find their
claims disallowed.

bad one this week....british guy had been in se.asia for five months, traveling and renting
motorcycles. couple days ago was riding to immigration office to extend a tourist visa,
collided with a sugarcane truck, dragged for 15 meters.

was not pretty. google "degloving".....do NOT google images.

there is a gofundme set up to pay hospital expenses for the uninsured rider.
immigration extended his tourist visa for 3 months for treatment.
after that, he will return home.
half his leg will remain here.

gofundme: a tax on the friends and relatives of people who are good at math.
