“He had no identification documents on him, looked to be about 30 years old and was 160-170cm tall. He was wearing a blue sports shirt and black football shorts,” he added.

The body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital,and police found a damaged black Kawasaki bike at the scene.

“It seems that he was speeding and and lost control of his bike at a sharp bend,” said Capt Akaradet. “So far, no one has come to inquire about a missing man, but we are trying to identify him and locate his relatives.”
