Pattaya Potholes Plus Motorcycle Equals Pain

Potholes in the road are a major hazard to motorists all over the world. Driving a two wheeled vehicle in the darkness of the night in Pattaya and your chances of being injured rises significantly. Now into the equation let's put in a young female rider on her way home who may or may not have a motorcycle license but almost certainly has never been trained to handle a potentially lethal mechanical machine.



Finally add in the fact that potholes often go unnoticed and un-repaired by the authorities for days or even weeks. And cones, signs, warning lights - do they exist around here?

A unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were called to give assistance to a young lady who had succumbed to one of these ghostly road hazards. At the scene at the entrance to Soi 75 on The Sukhumvit Road near South Pattaya Road they found Khun Kanchana aged 33. Miss Kanchana had come off her bike and suffered head wounds and serious wounds and abrasions to her body.

She was given first aid at the scene by medics and then transported by rescue workers to Banglamung Hospital for further emergency treatment.
