Well, someone did not like him or was jealous for how the article points out. Bad way to die. Sorry for him.

Something smells.  Family or close associates are primary suspects.    The caregiver is the key to identifying associates who might have a motive.

I wonder what is meant by the caretaking provided to a man who would still be out and about riding a motorbike in the early hours.

And I'm not trying to imply anything about the shooting, just curious about caretaking.

Jesus Christ. Doesn’t need inspector Poirot to work out what’s happened here.
 

Land of smiles. Yeah right. A dangerous place, like all of SE Asia

I’ll imply it for you. The woman is guilty 100%. Got him shot because he probably decided to move on due to her behaviour. Only when foreigners decide enough is enough that life can be dangerous in the so called Land of Smiles.

Was the "caretaker" a pedantic relationship ?

Maybe the partner couldn't wait for him to pass away naturally and wanted everything asap, for her and her new lover. Sounds like a typical scene in many cases. To well planned for my liking.

From another news outlet:

The suspect Abhisha Boonsawat gave himself up to police this morning.

Road rage. Chased him 1.8km after the deceased had sounded his horn at an intersection and - unclear on this - may have clipped the car with his motorbike.

He also apologised to the deceased's friends and family for the incident and pleaded guilty to everything.

I really didn't believe it was road rage. And if a few days pass , and no other shoes drop in this case , I'll admit i was wrong.

Sorry, I do not understand; Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

FYI, sometimes Thais use this expression. I have part time driver when I need him who also takes care of me (shopping excursion, errands, communication with locals). His expression.

I like how there's even a CCTV pic of the old man chasing the car.

I can imagine that state of rage. I've seen Thais snap and get mad like this when a foreigner acts like he owns the place.

You can be a wealthy and highly influential person in your home country. But once you move out of your home country, you are basically considered as an asylum seeker....So better behave as an asylum seeker and not a citizen in that country.
