Paradise Pete Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) I saw a rider down on Theprasit yesterday morning. No helmet, no shirt, no shoes. Wounds on his left arm and leg, and blood appeared to be coming out of one ear. Police were there, a dozen people taking video, but no medical help yet. He was moving, but I don't know if he made it.

Mr Meeseeks Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Big bikes are too powerful for most of the unskilled riders here. Even a 500cc is a totally different animal to a scooter. Most of them will graduate to a big bike from a scooter with no training whatsoever so easy to understand why accidents like this continue to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ... all wires to be placed underground ... though not in our lifetime.

soi3eddie Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 As a former rider of "big bikes" in the UK and a rider of a 150cc scooter, I can say that there is no place for anything over 350cc here in Thailand. The roads, riding/driving skills, discipline and a multitude of hazards make any kind of hard acceleration or high speeds simply suicidal. As mentioned above it's still easy to die riding a Click or similar. Going harder and faster here is just plain crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooBigToFit Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 You better be awake as a biker in Thailand. Even driving a car, you have a high chance of being in a serious accident in your lifetime. Thailand will prove itself as dieland for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
