fullcave Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Are they safe? of course not but at least you have the driver to use as a cushion or airbag in case of accident to help absorb some of the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bander Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I always avoid motorbike taxi, back in the 90's the tuktuk where the safest soi transportation, never had an accident. Now i drive MC and car myself, don't trust thai's who seem to be drunk or on medication around the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never pay more than 10 Baht (ok always 10 baht) to the BTS from my Condo and they have to take 2 corners and then they have to U turn to get back to their Bike taxi stand.

shy coconut Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Probably a silly question, but are these guys officially licensed and if you were to have an accident whilst riding would travel insurance cover any liabilities? The times I've used them I have not worn a helmet so guess that would void any policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly comparison. You also wouldn't get a Pattaya taxi to start for under 100 Baht whereas in Bangkok 50 Baht gives you a 3 kilometre ride. Minimum charge for a m/c taxi in Pattaya is 30, although they almost always insist on 40 if there is a farang involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it is a very silly comparison because Bangkok living expenses are so much higher than that in Pattaya, this is why I am amazed at why Pattaya Motorcycle taxis can charge so much or why Bangkok Motorcycle taxis charge so much less.

Road Warrior Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 avoid them none of them have safety in mind and certainly no road sense , as all Thais on the roads . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenon Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Really? How far can you go for 10 or 15 ? The "meter" drop seems to be 40 or 50 for me. I got hit by a motorcycle taxi. The irony is that he took me to the hospital and picked me up and took me back to my hotel. I think it was safer on it than in front of it! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the motor bike from FYNN Aree Condo to BTS, it's 10 Baht. 700 meters. Take Motor bike taxi from RBSC Polo Club to BTS, its 20 baht. 1.2 KM. So no I do not annoy others. I'm telling the truth. You are free to give it a try. By the way, its in Bangkok, I don't know about Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got charged 15 baht the other day for the 600 meters between Talat Phlu Train station and the corner of Ratachapruek and Ratchadapisek Roads, but it wasnt my regular dudes.
