Swedish Tourist Dies In Bike Accident
CHALONG: A Swedish tourist died from head injuries after he rode his motorbike into a gully near the Arcadia Hotel and Resort on Karon Beach. Mr Bo Christer Elisson, 32, was travelling with a companion on another motorbike when the accident occurred at 4 a.m. on February 10. He was not wearing a helmet. Mr Ellison’s companion, who did not give his name, initially refused to allow Mr Christer to be taken to hospital in the back of a police pick-up, saying he wanted to wait for an ambulance.
