Pretty rooted night the other night. Was about to leave a friends bar and heard massive crash out on the road. Bolted out to find this wreck, I pulled the drunk gogo girl out of the wreckwho was driving. My mate in the photos did CPR on the guy she hit on a scooter.

Unfortunately the scooter guy died on my mates arms, gotta love living in Thailand. Drunk chick fled the scene. Police report states her boyfriend and owner of the pickup was driving. Funny I was first on the scene and he wasn't even present. Corruption much!

Well there must be some bad juju surrounding me lately,woke up at 1am to the sound of a crash out the front, I'm used to it but this time didn't hear a bike sliding down the road because a drunk girl leaving the beer garden down the street from me decided it would be a good idea to ride at 70kmh into the back of my parked jeep.



Got my hands on a new door as it was cheaper than new glass. Just need to get it painted at some point. Damage was smashed glass, smashed wiper, rooted wiper motor and dent in door.

What happened to the girl though?

In Cambodia, you’d be at fault for:

Being in the country and parking your Jeep there. The logic there is, if you weren’t there in the first place then it wouldn’t have occured.

It is the wild wild west there

Is that a dead person on the ground??? 😂😂😂😂😂

Nah she didn't die, but perhaps I think she will be wishing she did, her face was pretty smashed up from smashing the rear window on the Jeep.

Not a super exciting update, but scored these visors at a third of what I have previously paid in Oz.
