Viagra alcohol motorbikes and sexercise
 found this on another forum, read and learn  A deathly mixture of Viagra tablets, loads of alcohol, over-sexercise and reckless motorbike driving has become killer number one for tourists visiting Thailand with every year hundreds of tourists not surviving their Thailand vacation. The death toll among tourist to Thailand every year amounts to more than 2-times the number of deaths from the Bali bomb attacks and this just from their own recklessness and stupidity, says Steven Martin, co-author of the Lonely Planet guide book to Thailand. Back home in their own country, people would never dream or dare to take a couple of Viagra pills, wash them down with loads of alcohol and then race out on a rented motorbike without a proper driving license, no insurance, no helmet and only dressed in shorts and a sleeveless "Rock Hard" T-shirt. It's the Thailand holiday mind-frame that makes their brain come to a stop, Steven further added. Of the more than 9.7 million tourists who visited Thailand last year, British citizens hold the record for the highest number of those deaths at a number of 148, followed by 137 tourists from the United States, 120 from Germany and 73 from Japan. In 2003, the ten most important foreign embassies in Thailand representing less than half of the foreign tourists visiting Thailand reported 595 fatalities resulting in death. While the causes of those deaths vary, Japanese visiting Thailand have the highest suicide rate with 13 of its citizens killing themselves in 2003 while taking vacation in Thailand, motorbike accidents, alcohol and the (in)famous Viagra impotency drug are the biggest killers among European, Australian and American tourists to Thailand. Steven said that the Thai authorities and the travel industry in Thailand has worked very hard over the past years to make the Thai Kingdom as safe as possible for visitors, but that they were powerless against the sudden "Loose of Common Sense" of many tourists to Thailand. Each country is different so even if you think you know how to ride a motorbike in your own country, you might not be used to the unpredictable directions taken by Baht-Bus-Taxis, un-respected one-way codes, crossing stray dogs at each curve and not in the least to mention the Thai special style of driving. While traffic accidents involving rented motorbikes are one of the biggest killers in Thailand, Viagra tablets usually mixed with loads of alcohol and physical overload from visiting hostess-bars, is another huge killer in Thailand, according to some foreign embassy officials. Despite Thailand's government efforts to crush the kingdom's reputation as Asia's red light capital, Thailand continues to attract millions of sex tourists each year, many of them elderly single men. Its that combination of old age, alcohol, the Thai smile, the hot and humid Thai climate they are not used to, and overdoses of free available Viagra tablets and other stimulating medication plus an above-average physical exhaustion with the other sex, that kills them, said Karsten Tietz, head-consul at the German embassy in Thailand. Those people want to maximize their fun to the limit while on a Thailand vacation, drink more, sexercise more and tend to loose all their sense of cautiousness. Travel industry experts say Thailand's disproportionately high toll of tourist death is the result of its attracting a huge volume of tourists while also offering high-risk activities for the heart, typically found in those well-trodden places of nightlife pleasure. Foreign Diplomats said that thousands of tourists who are injured each year in motorbike accidents also risk huge financial problems due to their careless behavior. Drunk driving or driving without a proper license means that you are breaking the Thai law and your insurance will not cover any of your injuries, nor pay for damage or injuries caused to third parties, said Warren Macilwain from the Australian embassy. A young man, recently crashed in the far north of Thailand with serious injuries and no insurance and his family could not afford the medivac (medical evacuation) him back to Australia, Warren said. Most people forget such accidents in a foreign country can very fast run into tens of thousands of dollars. Those dealing directly with the victims and their families said they continued to be shocked by the avoidable nature of many of the deaths, if the victim had only used common sense. Every case is different and you never get used to telling a mother her child has died while driving a bike under influence, or that your brother has died in a short-time hotel room from a heart attack, such things are awful to tell, and usually very traumatic for the family, said Ursula Simon from the German embassy. Holidaymakers should not fall into the trap of thinking that the meaning of "Different Rules" in Thailand, means there are no rules at all. Tourists should take the same safety precautions as they would take at home and even be more vigilant than in their own country, Ursula Simon further added. Thai mortician Hirun Phurdnampetch, who has spent more than two decades dealing with the remains of dead tourists from Europe and the United States, has a similar message: When a foreigner dies it is usually on a motorbike, riding without skill or protective clothing and usually in the most popular places such as Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui, with heart attacks during special in-bedroom activities the second biggest cause of death, Hirun Phurdnampetch said. If tourists would just use their brain, not drink so much, be sensible and wear a helmet if they must ride a motorbike, it would mean a lot less work for me and my department, he added. so,take it easy !!!

count me as one more, who left the Bangla bars one night and crashed motasai into a tuk tuk shortly therafter.
 The damages were 4000 Baht to the tuk tuk driver, a number of cuts, and abrasions, and minor sprains of my lower back and one knee.  Spend the better part of the next week holed up in a luxury suite in BKK, eating ibuprofen, and codeine pills, as if they were M & Ms.
