Capt Kraisorn Boonprasop of Thalang Police identified the deceased as Chaichana Nuanla-ong, 34, from Songkhla.
“Witness told us that the motorbike was travelling at high speed from Phuket Town. When he arrived at the bend in front of the Tha Reua Shrine, he lost control and hit the guardrail,” he said.
A helmet was found at the scene.
Mr Chaichana’s body was taken to Thalang Hospital, Capt Kraisorn added.
The death of Mr Chaichana this morning follows the the death of 20-year-old Chalermchart Podok after his 1,000cc Kawasaki Ninja sport bike hit a pickup truck on Kwang Rd, Chalong, on Monday. (See story here.)
About 12 hours later, another man escaped serious injury after his smaller-version Kawasaki Ninja motorbike hit a central reservation in Phuket Town. (See story here.)
Those two accidents followed the death of 21-year-old Anusorn Petpan, whose motorbike clipped the back of one car then ploughed head-on into another car at high speed in Sri Soonthorn last Thursday. (see story here.)
