puukao Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 We all know the risks in Thailand, we all know it's one of the most dangerous places to drive. We all think, "yea, they died, but it won't happen to me." I will never rent a motorbike, and i'm amazed how many farangs i see who are not comfortable on the bike........ not sure the solution. do less, get more people and rent a car, i don't know....it's very dangerous out there. sorry about this guy.

I dont think its that bad, just ride slowly and defensively and wear a helmet. at least in cambodia they dont have that low IQ thai fashion that many tourists imitate of wearing a helmet without doing up the strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
