Thai help needed
Hi,
I'm in central Thailand (Muang, Suphan Buri) with friend in hospital following bike accident.
I'm having language/cultural/logistics problems and wondering if there may be someone in the Thai HU community who might be able to assist.
If so please call: 09-2021-7216
It's urgent.
Pete

Contact the local community!
Up at the top of the page, tap the "Connect" tab and it'll take you to another page. Once there, scroll down about 1/3 of the page and select "Contact a community". Once that's done, select the closest city and it will allow you to send an email to the local community. It's probably the quickest way to broadcast your need for assistance. Best wishes!

Pete,

I just returned from Thailand this past week. I'm not sure what all assistance you need/require but the owner of KTM Buriram, whose nickname is "Top" speaks English very well as does one of his female employees, "Nee." I found them to be very kind and helpful.

KTM Buriram's phone number is 044-111-365 or 044-111-363 or 083-652-9669.

I wish your friend and you the best.

I put this on the RA site for you


Help for fellow biker if possible
Guys
I know its a long shot but is there anyone out there who could respond to this ( see below). I am in BKK and have no transport, I have rang him and his friend has a smashed leg and he is after a little help with translation etc.

If any one can help please let me know and/or ring him

Cheers

Further to this, if anyone knows anybody or anywhere in the BKK area which can store the bike until it gets fixed could they let me know

Thanks

Wayne

Because you cared for a fellow rider in trouble

We are all very individual creatures. Some can be bothered & some cannot.
Some are worth the effort & some are not !

The rest of the m/c community thanks you Wayne & values your effort, even if Pete can't be bothered (or too busy)

Hey everyone, I'm really sorry about the VERY TARDY follow up reply to my original post, but as you may appreciate a fair bit has been happening...
But at least as a way of a small thank you I'd like to pass on my great appreciation to Wayne (lone rider), who went out of his way big time to offer me any help he could. He helped me get through a very bleak and stressful situation.
Thanks Wayne! It's people like you who create the traveling community.
My friend is now recovering back in her homeland and I'm continuing my riding adventure across Asia.
I'm not saying that without Wayne I couldn't have continued, but we couldn't get anywhere without people like him.
Thanks again Wayne.
Pete
(Oh, and apologies for not posting much on HU... communications in not my strong point.)
