Jason Richards

Apparently Jason had a motorbike accident in Phuket the night before last. He was my neighbor in a village outside Nong Han. He used to frequent Udon quite a bit so I figured I would pass this info along to those of you who might have known him. I'm not quite sure how to add a photo so here is a link to HHH Phuket. They have a photo of him on their Home page 11/23/2011.http://www.phuket-hhh.com/home.shtml If anyone has a link to any news stories about the accident they would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go, I knew him welsh lad always full of fun RIP mate.

Phuket Holiday Ends in Tragedy as Helmetless British Man Crashes Motorcycle
Thursday, November 24, 2011
PHUKET: A British man has been killed in a motorcycle crash in the Kamala area of Phuket, north of Patong, on Phuket's west coast.

A motorcycle being ridden by Jason Paul Richards, 40, hit the pavement near the FantaSea show as he headed back towards central Kamala village about 12.30am on Tuesday.

Mr Richards died later, in Patong Hospital. He was not wearing a helmet.

Friends told police they had been with Mr Richards earlier at a bar not far away. He had been staying on Phuket for about three months.

Phuket's British honorary consul, Mr Martin Carpenter, said today that Mr Richards' family had been notified.

Very sad news indeed. Great guy. My condolences to his family.

Tragic News. My deepest sympathy to his family and lady.
A great guy and character. He will be missed.
RIP Mate.

I was in Kamala last week, staying near Phuket Fantasea, and in fact arrived on the Tuesday evening. I heard the next day that a farang had died in a motorbike accident, just up the road , the night before, but didn't know who or any details.

That's a shame. May he RIP.
