RotBenz8888 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Why do they need escort, they're all blind in the traffic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It looks like they where around the "Kow Chee Jun" area so really no where near the Pattaya madhouse, there is even kilometres of nicely painted blue cycle lane... that apparently gets used quite a lot ( though I've never seen it used ) I just noticed they are riding tandems...wondered how on earth could someone totally blind ride a pushbike ????
