Do you store it in a database for future reference? For those who have a genuine interest this is a notoriously nasty bit of road leading up the hill at the south end of Kamala (Naka)- vehicles lose control on it all the time as they travel too fast and don't anticipate the sharp bends on a steep road. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbyXNorway Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Lamp posts of steel, concrete poles for electricity/cables/roadlights, high and sharp concrete roadside. People need to wear proper motorcycle gear (helmet at least) and drive within their limits. Drunk driving at speed is madness here in Thailand. RIP.

No need.... a man was found deceased on the side of the road. Do we really require more? I'm sure relatives or family will be notified in due course let them find out first.

Headgame Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I know this spot very well. As, stated, all sorts of things can go wrong here. One thing is that it's challenging enough in the day time and best not to be riding here at night, if unfamiliar with the road. Sad that this is how a visit to Phuket can go very wrong, very quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect that they don't release information until the next of kin is notified at least. Would be an awful way to see your spouse or child has died by coming across and article online or having it forwarded to you by someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot123 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 He could well have been driving sensibly so it also be plausible that he was clipped or forced off the road by another vehicle. I have had many near misses riding my motorbikes (real motorbikes) in Thailand. I've been cut off, overtaken then the vehicle just pull in before passing. From the photo this streach you can see is not that technical even for a scooter. So very sad and another poor tourist dead on the roads in Thailand.!
