Duel nationality is quite normal, especially in OZ, I got my DL with an OZ license and I'm British.

No helmets as is the norm here, dice with death at your peril.

So, not licensed or trained to drive a motorcycle with the type of drivers license he had.  Likely no experience in driving a motorcycle.  Two more senseless deaths by not requiring valid motorcycle licenses in order to drive a motorcycle in Thailand.

Quote

Witnesses told police that the car was turning right into a hotel before the motorbike, which was ridden by the foreign man, crashed into the sedan.

THE typical end for many motorbike riders.

Overlooked by a careless car driver.

On the other hand the motorbike rider probably with a firm grip on the throttle.
