Do they ask you outright for the cash? Or are you supposed to offer them an amount and see if it's enough to get you outa trouble?

On a serious note, is there much point in doctors and all that? Pretty sure you just have to sling a broken collar bone and leave it heal?

Sweet Buddha and his oversized toes... will you ever go to a doctor and don't add permanent damage to the list of christmas pressies. I just assumed you already had.

And happy christmas!

WHAT. THE. FLUCK.

So there you are, lying there in agony with broken bones, as you do, and these fcukers want to send the other fella to hospital, charge you his taxi fare, and demand a bribe to *not* arrest you!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Its times like that that I really believe some people are sub human.

Asked outright in front of about 30 people.. Counted it in front of about 30 people. My friend had to get the money cause I couldn't move.

Tomorrow I guess.. I've tried about 5 times now to get up and I can't. I'm dying to goto the toilet but can't. Hopefully I'll be fit for it tomorrow.

It's just how it is.. He was on his way to hospital and I still hadn't moved on the ground. I was blatantly in agony but that's irrelevant to the police.

Right, get on your phone there and get someone over there with an ice pack and painkillers, immobilise the arm with the wrist higher than the elbow, and seek medical attention. Self diagnosis of a broken bone just isn't going to cut it, there might be a lot more wrong, not to worry you.

Ah nuts

Surely someone will love you looooonnnnnngggg time after splashing all that cash. I mean your friend will take you to hospital.

So what is wrong with the police there? is there a language barrier that they couldnt accommodate for it because it's too much work. Is there like no democracy there? I am sorry for the hard time your having. If it's like this, you should just accept it and get over yourself and be a man about it and THank God you are ok and a safe, it could of been alot worse, there homeless people sleeping rough and street children abandoned not too far away from you if it's asia your in.

Exactly, there is always people far worse of, people dying alone with no one and homeless children abandoned by their parents and orphaned that happens alot in poorer countries in asia. I saw a documentary it featured a family who had to live in their car because they were homeless, no welfare there either.

With all the accidents you've had, Father Larry Duff, I don't understand why you haven't had your license revoked yet ... for your own good and that of others.

Doesn't matter who's fault it is.. Once there's a westerner involved, we have to pay through the teeth every time.

Most definitely.. Even when I got home, I was saying how lucky I was. My jacket is all ripped up and destroyed from sliding so far on it but all my skin is ok. My toe nail is crushed but hasn't fallen off. My hip feels like it's about to snap and I can barely walk but it's holding together. I was even driving my cheap bike so it's not as bad financially as it could have been.

My only real issue is my shoulder and even then, I will just not work for the next few weeks, live for 6 dollars a day getting food delivered to the house and my friends taking it upstairs for me.. Have a my laptop with boards, a 43" tv, about 40 xbox games and hundreds of movies to keep me occupied till I'm bothered working again.

International License isn't accepted and you have to know the language to get a Viet license.. No foreigners have one. It's irrelevant to the law anyway, they only ever want to see our visa if there's an issue. It's very relevant to insurance though and it's the biggest worry about living here. It's too easy for someone drive in front of you, suddenly you're in Bangkok getting surgery with a world of debt to look forward to.

Jesus Wept

Go to a doctor.

the_syco

From breaking the elbow on black ice (push bike) I can safely say GOTO THE F**KING DOCTOR.

Worst that can happen: you become a cripple with a f**Ked up hip.

Secondly, see can you get a car with a motorbike engine, and if that gets around the needing of the license?
