tropo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I saw 3 motorcycles down on the intersection of 3rd Road and Soi 17. One guy looked unconscious (or dead), while the others were still moving although obviously in some pain. It appeared to be a collision between motorcycles as there was no car present. I had an interesting trip home because a few minutes earlier I witnessed another bike lose control while turning left and sliding on sand, as I was waiting at the Pattaya Tai - 3rd Road intersection.

tropo Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Did you try to help them? NO. I was just rubber-necking on the way past. I hate the reckless way the Thais ride around here and usually without helmets...most of them deserve a crash or two to knock some sense into them. I saw another guy down a few meters west of there about an hour ago. He was on his back, but moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fed up of some of the reckless driving here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tradegy is that often they involve a careful rider in their accidents. It's the idiots in cars you really have to watch out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ercorn Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 agreed..I am not so worried about the drivers killing themselves its the fact that they hurt inocent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali4995 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 i used to really enjoy riding bikes but i stopped because it's so dangerous here. i think the worst is when they rent those 1,000cc monsters to these people with zero riding experience and then they race around town drunk and blipping the throttle.defies explanation.

The most dangerous street in Pattaya? IMO Soi Buakhao wins hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most dangerous street in Pattaya? IMO Soi Buakhao wins hands down. i would have to disagree there. without doubt most dangerous is soi hok, with all the distractions. bethatasitmay, all the roads are particularly treacherous right now with the sand and dirt strewn about. finally, you have to wonder, will pattaya thai ever get paved?
