No hint that he was in wrong direction.
Near the Chaiyaphruek intersection sounds like he had to go right and slow down to (U) turn?

Bloody dangerous on this race track. When in Pattaya I avoid it with the scooter as good as possible.

The picture makes it look that way. But we seem to get left to right inversion in many a picture. 

Anyone riding a motorbike at 1 am is taking a big risk. I bet 50% of the drivers are pi**ed.
