    Swede dies in motorbike crash just 5 days after meeting Thai girlfriend

    A 50-year-old Swedish national died immediately after his motorcycle overshot a curve in Roi Et’s Suwannaphum district on Saturday, just five days after he met his Thai girlfriend.

    Police, medical staff and rescuers rushed to the scene on Suwannaphum-Ban Dong Mai Road where the body of the Swede, identified only as Stefan, was found.

    Police believe the accident occurred because the victim was speeding and possibly lost control at the curve, fell into a roadside ditch and hit his head on a concrete pipe.

    His body has been taken for an autopsy with legal procedures to follow, the police added.

    Meanwhile, the Swede’s girlfriend Veeranuch Buthinkong, 27, said they had been speaking over social media for the past two years before Stefan flew to Thailand for the first time five days ago.

    “After lunch, Stefan said he wanted to go on a ride and take photographs, so I warned him to be careful,” she said.
    Stefan died some 6 kilometres from the village, she added.

    From the pics it looks like he wasn't drinking water with his lunch.

    Mixing all this in with how long he's been with his girlfriend is a bit tacky

    I wonder what experience he had. Motorcycles take a lot of experience to ride at high speed. Motor scooters are even more deadly as they are really made for commuting and their smaller wheels make them unstable on any road with an uneven surface. I cant speak for this unfortunate man but you see many tourists in TL riding with little to no experience and in TL that is even more deadly.

    There's a second photo in the article which shows the scene from the other side . . . with a pixelated body . . . I didn't want to post that one, I should have mentioned that, sorry.
