Tiger Duggan Fundraiser Reaches £150,000 Target After Motorcycle Crash in Thailand

BANGKOK — On 8 February 2026, a fundraising campaign for Tiger Duggan, a 23-year-old British backpacker critically injured in a motorcycle crash in Thailand, has successfully reached its £150,000 (6.44 million baht) target in less than one week. The GoFundMe campaign attracted thousands of donations from supporters in the UK and internationally after receiving media coverage, including by Sky News. Mr. Duggan was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on Koh Samui and was initially treated at a local hospital before being transferred to Bangkok for specialized care. He remains in critical condition, according to family updates. The fundraiser aims to cover mounting medical costs, emergency transfers, and related expenses, given potential limitations in insurance coverage for motorcycle-related injuries in Thailand. The case has highlighted the risks tourists face when riding motorcycles in Thailand, where traffic accidents remain a significant cause of serious injury among foreign visitors, particularly on resort islands. The fundraiser will continue to support Mr. Duggan's ongoing medical care and recovery needs.
