A 43-year-old Israeli citizen died on Sunday in a motorcycle accident in the Krabi province of southern Thailand. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Israel's consul in Bangkok and the Department for Israelis Abroad are accompanying the family and coordinating with Thai and Israeli authorities to expedite the necessary procedures for the deceased's return to Israel for burial.
ZAKA's International Division, led by Director Baruch Nidam, is working with local authorities and a local Chabad emissary, Rabbi Nechemia Wilhelm, to facilitate the repatriation of the body for burial in Israel.
This incident follows a series of recent fatalities involving Israelis abroad. Two weeks prior, a 24-year-old Jerusalem resident died in a kayaking accident in Norway, with another Israeli sustaining injuries. Approximately two weeks before that, a 22-year-old Israeli, a discharged combat soldier on a post-army trip in South America, died in a paragliding accident in Colombia. The accident, which also involved a local instructor, occurred near Bello in the Antioquia department, possibly due to severe weather conditions.
In February, two Israelis died in separate fatal motorcycle accidents in Thailand within a single week. Yanoam Mirson, a 22-year-old Air Force career man from Nahariya, died in the country's north. Shortly after, Shai Hanania Pinto, 51, from the moshav Oman in the Gilboa region, died in a motorcycle accident on the island of Koh Samui, reportedly losing control of his motorcycle and being struck by a pickup truck. He is survived by his wife and two children.
