How do you know that?

Maybe the deceased was "bombing" around the curves on the scenic road just having a blast.

Maybe he was reminiscing about the night before and not paying attention.

I said minivans in general along that road drive like crazy

There's tourists for you. Would they do this in their 'home countries'? 

Where did it say that figure was tourists?

Or did I miss your sarcasm?

I often go that way around just enjoying a ride around on my motorcycle and it is unfortunately not uncommon to see foreigners involved in accidents on the curvy roads of Rawai, Nai Harn area.. Lack of experience (if any at all) riding motorcycles as you see them come blasting their way through traffic..

 

Yeehaa - girls are hot, the beer cold and all Phuket is like a giant theme park where anything goes..

Maybe he wasnt wearing a helmet. Maybe he forget they drive on the wrong side of the road here.
