Pattaya — Pattaya residents and netizens have reportedly chastised a group of foreign motorcyclists who caused disturbances late at night.

 

Pattaya News reporters went to Soi Yensabai in South Pattaya last night, June 28th, following multiple noise complaints from locals and tourists.

 

According to The Pattaya News reporters, a group of foreign tourists of unidentified nationalities gathered in Soi Yensabai near the VC hotel to race motorbikes that they rented from local shops. In addition, some of the foreigners reportedly drove around Pattaya at night and disturbed others by honking and revving up their motorbikes.

Middle Eastern people, be specific

It's not as if the peace and quiet is held sacred in Thailand and no authorities seem to care if the roads are kept safe. 

 

...  So this ‘outrage’ is rather hypocritical to say the least...   

 

These tools come here and behave like this because they can...  if the police are to lazy and not stopping locals from behaving antisocially and riding dangerously how can they expect ayhole foreigners be stopped ????

 

 

 

No... Do any of these ’tourists’ who rent these motorcycles have licences ????.... Wasn’t all this supposed to be stopped years ago with the insistence on licenses to rent motorcyclist ??

 

Thailand - IF you want to complain, get your own house in order. 

IF you (Thailand) were following the regulations, these motorcycles would never be rented out in the first place to young men who very likely do *not have motorcycle licences (and with almost certainly do not have international licences to accompany a local motorcycle license (if they did have one)). 

 

Thus: renting out these motorcycles to these guys is very likely illegal in the first place. 

 

 

 

*someone (I know who) is very likely to pipe up and point out that I don’t know these guys do not have a motorcycle licence... but really, its the same pattern that has been happening for years, and when these guys lop off the top of their scull on a street sign after failing to navigate a corner the reports always say they did not have a MB licence.

But it's OK for the locals to do it at midnight daily on their big bikes ? Every night at the traffic lights near the Floating Market on Sukhumvit. When we complained to the police we were told to stop being a nuisance. Welcome to Thailand !

No. Most adult Thais do not behave like this.  The people  referred to in this article are the  same people who  come to London to race power cars and abuse the local  area.

It's nothing  to do with peace and quiet being held 'sacred' That hyperbole is just yet another attempt, one of a constant  stream,  to insult and demean Thailand and the the Thai  people. In fact peace and quiet is an important  part of life here.

Sukhumvit is a major road- a massive  highway not a small street like yensabai. 

How did you complain to the police? Did you identify  anybody? How did the police respond? In what form?

[Screaming]

Well, they wanted quality tourists from the Middle East, now they got them, enjoy.

You are wrong. No Thais have been racing in Soi YenSabai. It's a new thing, a new crime and anti social  behaviour specifically carried out  by Asian and Middle  East tourist. Its not just anti social  its dangerous. The sooner the police clamp down on it the better just as they do  with Thai  joy riders

Yes, I ride my bicycle through Arab Town early mornings, hundreds of them, sitting around in different places in the soi. 

 

I've also seen about 30 scooters with pillions early mornings riding from jomtien back to Yensabai.

These guys are not bothered riding at nights, the random alcohol checks are worthless, most of these nuisance guys don't drink alcohol

I agree, you're absolutely right, "we all know" that almost certainly, none of them have licences!

Are suggesting that Thai’s do not race their motorcycles on the streets ????

 

IF so, you are very wrong.

 

In certain areas young Thai males at night are an absolute nuisance and the police can do very little to stop them.  These Arabs are behaving just as badly.

We disagree... the constant barrage of noise here is sometimes overwhelming...  

Peace and quiet is not valued to anywhere near the same degree here as it is in the West.

The majority of Thai adults do not race their motorbikes. It's a  form of delinquency.  As such the police  intermittently  clamp down on it just as they should with this particular 'group ' of tourists. It's noticeable its not tourists in general or European  gangs but ME gangs and as such poses a different  and specific  problem.

If you live in a noisy  area just move. Spend more money on decent  accommodation.

Whatever your many negative  experiences of Thailand and Thai  people, and they seem many they do not represent  the ideal or the actual experiences of most people except those  who feel superior. Do you think you are superior to other people? You know? The non white little people? Do you believe  you  are better than them?.

No superior feeling towards Thai’s whatsoever... Just you, which I why spending any further time on a response to your idiotic projections is beneath me. ????

We phoned them several times. The last time my wife was told " Oh it's you again, go away ". Then he hung up.
They use the new traffic lights as their starting grid. For personal safety there is no way on this planet I am going to drive next to them and take a video, it would be suicide.
Fascino do a nice line in ear plugs as the residents around here well know.

Ride motorcycles together with other men in Pattaya.

But not so important for people to refrain from making all noise possible as soon as they, themselves wish to.

Just one inconsiderate individual with a booming stereo system can routinely disturb the peace of the whole village, yet no-one considers it "important" enough to do anything constructive about it.

Barking dogs. roosters, angle grinding and bikes with modified exhausts are all part and parcel of normal rural life....peace and quiet not so. ????

I want to do this.  Where can I rent the loudest motorcycle possible?
