I had one promoting herself for a special training course and needed my sponsorship, and another showed me a picture of her mother with a bad leg who needed emergency care...... gotta love them!
These modified ones, obviously being used as work vehicles, driven by young males, do whiz around quite recklessly in this area..... along with the HGVs heading to and from the port to Hwy 36 it is a dangerous areas to be on a motorcycle.
I had been made to feel they were very keen to collect those 2000 baht fines. Perhaps their last record was, as you say, the hotel and that was as close as they looked.
I just replaced my old cooking gas cylinder yesterday at a cost of about 2100 baht, filled. I wonder if there are any regulations wrt the people who refill these cylinders, they do look less substantial.
Yes, very much so.
As the guy approaches with a baseball bat of whatever, getting out of there is the best idea, if you can leave him injured, better still.
Yeah the online site doesn't support the intermediate stops... there is a preference for customers who go end to end. I always went to the booking office on Suk and got a ticket with the help of my good lady. No real issue getting on in Pattaya which is en-route.
And to some, they just order another beer and get on with the lifestyle they have slipped into and are actually reasonably content. Only aggravation is being looked down on by those who were actually foolish enough to marry their bargirl and like to occupy some moral high ground.
There seems to be no sense of danger or risk in the day to day behaviour..... the mother, with 2 kids up on the motorcycle riding against traffic seems oblivious to the risks.
