From the original article: 

 

“Also, what we can confirm is that no helmets were found at the scene. Other than that, all other details we are still investigating,” Capt Somkiet said."

Yep, especially out in the provinces.

Thailand kills off staggering numbers of foreigners annually.

I used to get all the gossip from Isaan women returning to BKK after Songkran holidays.

Do you think the lack of proper public transport on Phuket could have anything to do with the high road fatality statistics here?

There was another Thai girl on the back of that Ducati who as far as I know is still alive as of 6pm yesterday

She was the lady described as 5 months pregnant, so perhaps the unborn child still has a chance.

 

As the road has a center divider I initially thought this must have involved a "ghost" rider.   However, it's now reported the Ducati collided with the rear of the scooter, presumably at a much greater speed.

Probably some drunken dumbass riding the ducati at high speed <deleted> do you need a bike like this on a road?  I am beginning to think these type of bikes should be banned along with the noisy Harley fatsters.

I truly hope this is the case. But other reports said that it was the Thai lady on the small bike who was pregnant. There are also conflicting reports about whether the this lady has since also died. I know people at the scene said she was moving, but that she had serious head trauma.

I watched the farangs ride bikes and scooters in Koh Chang and Im surprised its not 20 a day.

Some conflicting reports here, I believe it was the younger woman on the small bike who was 5 months pregnant . It doesnt matter now, unfortunately it looks like nobody is surviving this terrible accident.

Such a shame when middle age guys have to prove themselves on BIG powerful bikes. It's a death wish of sorts and in this case proved so to be. I'm nervous on a Honda Wave let alone a Ducati.

 

RiP especially to the two Thais on their Wave.

Unfortunately the most startling aspect of this story is that a 44 year old woman was pregnant. 

Why?

She wasn't, it was the 35 year old.
