SkyNets Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I would not ride a bike next to the road here unless I shielded by a concrete tunnel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 83 million baht for 8 kilometers ??????? The dangers of cycling in Thailand's inattentive traffic appear to remain as cyclists are not separated from the faster moving traffic by anything more than a couple of white lines.

connda Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) What's the difference between a bicycle lane, and motorcycle lane, a lane where cars drive 1 kilometer before merging into traffic, and a vehicle parking place? Imho, not a thing. 83 million THB. Some people made out well on that deal. Edited January 18, 2018 by connda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
