Last month, an Israeli citizen was killed in a motorcycle accident in Thailand, and his son was seriously injured. About three months ago, Liam Sharot, 25, from Haifa, was killed in a motorcycle crash while traveling on the Thai island of Koh Samui. His partner, a resident of Nesher, was injured in the accident. The two lost control of the motorcycle they were riding, and a passing vehicle ran them over.
About a year ago, reserve soldier Rotem Yaish was also killed in a motorcycle accident on Koh Samui while on a family vacation.
