God forbid, The road rules cant even be enforced yet alone speed limits .. 

Just goes to show not everything goes better with Coke( the T shirt he's wearing )lol..

It constantly  amazes  me the lack of respect for the road rules and that the police don't seem to want to enforce it, (cars and bikes alike.) I do ride motorcycle here (Honda Rebel 500cc) and every day I see a large number of Thai riders and bike taxis travelling the wrong way, riders with no helmets or 3-5 ppl crammed on a bike plus a dog sometimes at the front, wearing shorts, a singlet and thongs for shoes aint going to cut it as riding apparel. It's certainly an accident waiting to happen. Every month I've seen motor bike crashes or dropped motorcycles. It's usually a smaller bike riden recklessly or driving like idiots using cars as a slalom course as they cut in and out of traffic at high speed or race one another ..Certainly high powered bikes can be an issue if ridden by the inexperienced (as we saw with a 13 year-old whose parents let him have a 1100 cc bike and he crashed it. )  And yes a novice rider should be restricted to a smaller bike, but educate the locals first (even at school level) and enforce the road rules make it a safe environment for everyone using the road. Unfortunately, this is wishful thinking..
