Belgian motorcyclist killed in Hua Hin

HUA HIN — A Belgian man died after his motorcycle crashed into a power pole in Hua Hin early Sunday morning.

Police and rescuers were called to Talad Nad Saphan Khilek Road in Soi Hua Hin 94 at 00.30am where they found the body of Xavier Marco, 45, with severe head injuries near a power pole. Near his body was a badly-damaged 400cc Kawasaki Ninja that had no licence plate. Debris from the machine was scattered all over the road.

Marco’s Thai girlfriend, Saifon Phupanna, 30, who went to the scene after police alerted her to the accident, said the Belgian had told her he would go for a swim before the fatal crash. He was not wearing a helmet. 

Hua Hin police investigator Pol Lt Col Premchai Thongkham assumed Marco was probably riding at high speed and failed to negotiate a sharp curve before ramming into the power pole.
