A German tourist tragically lost his life while riding a big bike in Phayao with friends, after crashing into a cliff on March 14. Police from Chiang Muan district in Phayao province were informed of a big bike accident on the Phayao-Chiang Muan route, at a location known as the Triple Heaven Spot in Chiang Muan district. The accident resulted in a fatality, prompting coordination with forensic doctors from Chiang Muan Hospital and rescue workers from the Siam Ruamjai Pu In Foundation in Chiang Muan to investigate.
Upon arrival, officials discovered the big bike, registration 1กภ 9101 Chiang Mai, lying on its side near a mountain. Nearby, the body of a deceased foreign male was found beside the bike. Rescue personnel in the area confirmed that the deceased was a German tourist who had rented the big bike from Chiang Mai to explore Phayao province with a group of friends, comprising five bikes in total. It is believed that as they reached a curve at the accident site, the bike may have lost control and crashed forcefully into the mountain base, resulting in the rider’s immediate death.
Authorities, including police, will conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident. They will also liaise with relevant organisations and the embassy to proceed with necessary protocols.
