My gf & I came off our bike a few months ago, which put me in a wheelchair for nearly six weeks; while I was being maltreated in the local govt hospital (bandaged up and being sent out while still unable to walk) the gf, who was injured herself, was receiving calls from the local BiB demanding we attend the station as soon as we were released from hospital. When we attended, there were a dozen people in there all wanting a piece of the action; the big BiB came out and said to me, without asking ANY questions, "You wrong. You pay 20,000 baht and we finish. You not pay, we go to [the main station in Samui] and you go court, pay big fine. Be big trouble." The problem here was - I wasn't in the wrong.
At that stage, all I wanted to do was go to a proper hospital and get proper treatment, so I paid. The subsequent proper treatment has cost me over 150,000 baht so far, none of which was covered by insurance, because the BiB didn't write an accident report.
Unfortunately, these are the types of situations where the best thing to do is suck it up and move on.

Interesting. But I wouldn't say it changed "a little bit," but rather a lot. Whether he was in the wrong or not is a rather important piece of information. This is standard TV protocol, however, which is to embellish a story to garner sympathy.
Did I miss some posts? I have only seen the above quoted post by JamesBrock, but you 2 seem to know a lot more about it than i do from reading it.
