Gives window shopping a brand new meaning, hospital bills & unlikely insured scooter hope took out travel insurance and one that covers scooters or this careless moment can lead to bankruptcy. Posted by slickmelb on September 5, 2014 21:01 So many things wrong in this story. How did she "lose control", why was she not wearing a helmet, how did they both get to Phanga Nga road without being stopped by the police and why did he leave his passport with the hirer.

Posted by Resident on September 6, 2014 08:15 From another published news about this event, it seems that they rented the scooters from a shop located in the same street. So we can assume that they didn't ride far and that the lady is indeed not experienced at all.
