    Very sad, RIP fella.

    Phuket really is the motorbike death capital for Brits (and seemingly Irish too).

    Nope, not at all.
    The reason it makes the English language media in Phuket is that the media covers stories of interest to its target market. Chances are some of the readers of the local papers will know of the man.

    In respect to the foreign papers carrying the story, again it is because it is of interest to the local readers. The story isn't being printed in the LA Times, or Le Monde is it? Recently, a Thai got scammed in Tokyo. It made the Thai papers. It didn't mean that the Thai papers couldn't care less about Japanese scam victims, but it did mean the story was of interest to Thais. There is no sinister plot to make farang lives more important.
    Kindness is spaying and neutering one's companion animals.

    If what you're saying is true then why haven't the local Thai papers covered the story? They should care just as much as the Farang paper according to you.

    The fact they haven't proves that Zygote is bang on the money.

    Muang Chao Fa Road has got some nasty bends.
