You would think that would be newsworthy.

Especially if their ace reporter/photographer can get some really gross photos of a body wrapped around a street sign or something. I've always been fascinated by the different cultural views of various countries. Thai culture doesn't cotton nudity on the beach (which would look a heck of a lot better here than seeing the elderly and bloated bodies on nude or semi-nude beaches in Europe, for example)or public displays of affection (it's still rare to see young Thais kissing in public or even holding hands - although that later taboo is slowly going away); yet, they print photos in main-line newspapers that would rarely be shown in the west (other than, perhaps, in some of the worst rag sheets). Come to think of it, Thai movies weirdly are a bit more gorier than what one typically sees in the West too.

This is probably not the incident your teerack saw Beer Chang, but here is a news story from The Nation of a motorcycle death on Pattaya Tai Road. One has to be very careful in Pattaya.

Pattaya, Chon Buri - A German tourist described as being drunk clashed his motorcycle against that of an Italian tourist who was killed here early Sunday morning.

Police said Davide Tomast, 29, died of head injuries in the accident that happened on a soi off South Pattaya Road at 5:30 am.

Raimund Norbert, 38, was severely injured and rushed to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital.

Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying that Tomast was riding his motorcycle out of the soi when Norbert, who appeared drunk, rode into the side with very fast speed and clashed into Tomast's motorcycle.

Police will take Norbert into custody once he is discharged from the hospital.
