PAIBKK Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Helmets in Thailand are a laugh. Having an Arai helmet myself for driving my bike outside the soi. In our soi, never use an helmet. Driving a motorbike in our soi is safer than going on a bicycle or walking. Walking in our soi without sidewalks is way too dagerous. On Sept 21, 2015 I got hit by a truck, just waiting in front of the 7/11 because the monkey driver had only one leg and couldn't control the truck. Broke my shoulder, arm and had surgery for over 2 million baht. Truck driver didn't have any insurance nor he had not paid any taxes for his truck since 1985. Truck was from 1974. He got fined 500 THB !!! Monkey country run by brainless monkeys !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
