Briton Critically Hurt in Thailand Needs Urgent Aid
6 Feb
Summary
- Young Briton critically injured in Thailand motorcycle accident.
- Family is fundraising for urgent medical transport and care.
- Victim is unconscious and on life support in Bangkok hospital.
A young British traveler named Tiger Duggan, who turned 23 today, is in critical condition following a motorcycle accident in Thailand. The incident occurred on Sunday while he was on a motorcycle trip. Initially feared dead, Duggan was resuscitated and taken to a local hospital on Koh Samui island.
His family, from Milton Keynes, has organized a fundraising drive to cover medical expenses and facilitate his transfer. He has since been moved to a hospital in Bangkok for specialist care and remains unconscious on life support. Colleagues of his mother, a neonatal nurse, have set up an online appeal that has raised over £77,000.
The family is seeking additional funds to bring Tiger back to the UK. Although he has travel insurance, the process for payout is lengthy, and immediate transfer was necessary for his survival. His father and brother have joined him in the Thai capital, emphasizing the immense cost of his care and eventual repatriation.
