Things that surprise you in Thailand
1. Book prices. CM had new books for 250 to 300 baht. Same books in Udon double the price or more. 2. Farangs dating 2s and 3s. Why bother? Date 5+ or borrow from library. 3. How polite Thais are even though all you did was give them 65 baht.

Yeah always detailed and in depth. Jordan Peterson has nothing on that guy with his dots and emojis. He could say look go visit the Mekong towns of x,y and z. Go visit the caves and villages in this area. He never helps anyone with useful info. I recommend 3 whale rock and the whole drive from Nong Khai to Chiang Khan. On the way back you could check out Erawan cave.

29x includes a helmet. Without a helmet it would be 41x more likely.

Trust yourself only. Never trust another driver to do the right thing. Accidents occur die to people assuming others will do the right thing. 50% of drivers can't even indicate properly. On roundabouts idiots turn right without indicating a lot.

Motorcycle helmets have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of head injury and death. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), helmets reduce the risk of head injury by 69 percent and reduce the risk of death by 42 percent. In 2017, the most recent year for which data is available, helmets saved the lives of 1,870 motorcyclists, and 750 more lives could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets. The effectiveness of helmet laws is also evident. According to a 2012 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, "laws requiring all motorcyclists to wear helmets are the only strategy proved to be effective in reducing motorcyclist fatalities." There were 8.7 times as many unhelmeted fatalities (1,670 fatalities) in states without a universal helmet law compared to states with a universal helmet law (192 fatalities).

Most cops don't go near the open roads unless near borders. You can drive from CM to Khon Kaen and not see one. I did it. Not one cop. The cops set up check points near borders for the Burmese or others. They don't care about farangs. They set up check points in Phuket to catch dumb tourists without helmets. They don't care about cars.

Low IQs and lack of education. 4th grade intelligence. Riding a motorbike without a helmet is just stupid.

Makes it fun too. Driving in Thailand is easy and 29x more safe than motorbikes. Riding bikes is high risk. Common sense really.

Risk of death on a motorbike is like 29 times higher. That means you have to ride in a manner than is 29x more safe. Most don't.

James Bond Museum Fiasco: A Costly 40 Million Baht Blunder
Worst Bond ever. Do they know who Iggy Pop is? Do they know who BB King is? Most 40yos don't even know who Albert Collins was. It is downright embarrassing how bad culture is now. Utter disgrace.
