A good crash helmet would have mitigated her facial injuries considerably.

A full-face certified helmet is indispensable at all times.

I know they are young and stupid - but what sort of idiot ............  Oh wait - her name is 'Sierra' and her Mother's name is 'Zoe Rose' - I got it - another ignorant GenZ feminist here with her girlfriends and who all have no idea about reality.  Sorry - had no idea about reality - now she does and they do.  I can only hope she recovers OK, but more importantly that her story gets into the heads of other ignorant GenZs.  Likewise, I hope that the GenZ Aussie boy's tragedy in a bike accident this week (he died) will also get into their thick skulls.

The Thai government has to address this seriously. You can't flood the country with foreigners the way they are doing now and just let them drive around without any sort of guidance. There are plenty in Hua Hin at the moment and they are accidents waiting to happen: often no helmets, probably no formal motorcycle training from their home countries and no experience of Thai roads.

Cannot agree more. It is an absolute effing disgrace that the Thai Authorities do SFA to address this issue that happens year after year.  What will probably happen is that some high profile westerner will get him/herself killed on a bike with no licence and no helmet, and the subsequent storm of negative publicity will force them to react and do something - too little too late. And many more people will be killed or hurt in the meantime.

It took the abduction of the famous Chinese actor to finally forced their hands to do something about the kidnappings and call centres. But the damage to Thai tourism was big and it caused 10s of thousands of Chinese to cancel and many others to say 'no thanks'. Likewise, there will be damage from the collapsed building in Bangkok - so now they are doing something about it. Again, too little too late. 

Absolutely corrupted ignorant racist aholes run this country - IMO most of them are Chinese ethnics (like An****, Th****, Pra***** - and many others).
