Sanook said that he had probably encountered roadworks after the brow of a hill and lost control. The road is being widened to four lanes at that point.
The accident occurred near the Night Coffee shop in Muang district after the bikers were coming home from a trip to Khao Kor.
The Yamaha he was riding is a powerful machine that retails in Thailand for about 1.1 million baht
