Damage on the bridge indicated the likely reason - while making a U-turn he had hit the edge and toppled over. 

 

The person who first came upon the accident said they had stopped then peered below to see the body.

 

Police are studying CCTV to confirm their suspicions and have ordered alcohol checks on the deceased.

Except  some male Thais perhaps as they can make the safest of manoeuvres dangerous.

Could be other reasons: a bike is easily pushed off course by another vehicle taking up its roadspace or just passing too close, so his bike could have been pushed into the wall.  RIP.
