Hal65 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 How big a concern is motorbike theft around Pattaya? I'm on the south end of Soi Buakao and have only street parking as an option. Being on a fairly busy street is probably a deterrant which is nice, but not if theft is rampant regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I don't think it is rampant but if you have a nice bike i would have theft insurance or at least some good locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I think it depends a lot on the bike. Some scooters are stolen (in general) a lot and then sold as spare parts. If you have a new scooter which is common in Thailand then your risk is not low. If you have a boring bike which nobody else has/wants then I wouldn't worry too much. And if you have something nice and fast then I would worry also what people might do to you bike even if they don't steal it. I spoke to a guy with a Ducati and when he parked somewhere someone messed around with his steering damper. That was a major problem because he didn't see it when he used the bike. Be careful!
