Holy shit that sucks. I'm hoping for him, that's for damn sure. Almost unbelievable he just made a post and now he's so seriously injured. Fuck.
Thailand is a dangerous as fuck place if you've had too much, and one of the reasons I didn't get too crazy when I was down there. A friend of mine, actually from highschool who I randomly met down in Koh Phangan, got too drunk and jumped on what he thought was a backpack on the beach...it was actually full of glass bottles. Severely fucked up his foot and was bleeding all over the sand and ocean. We had to get him on a speedboat to a hospital on another island so they could take care of him so he didn't lose a significant chunk of his foot. Luckily he was fine, but shit is dangerous out there.
Hope he's okay.
