Curious what the locals think of the thai boys aka fast n furious with the modified exhausts

I think the point of the Thai outrage is that these are foreigners, which is a whole different ballgame than your own doing it, which they have more than enough of anyway.

 

[thailand49]

That's the deal they made?

Now they coming in bus loads too. 

Welcome to Land of Mecca! ????

[kentrot]

Strange - not a helmet in sight and yet no law-enforcement around to collect fines .

 

I thought there was going to be a crackdown on ...... Never mind ???? 

 

Quality tourists ; right !!! 

[newnative]

    I know it's an unpopular view but I don't think tourists should even be allowed to rent motorbikes.  They don't know the roads, they likely have no motorcycle license or experience driving a motorcycle, their inexperience and unfamiliarity make the roads less safe for drivers and pedestrians,  and, as shown here, they could care less for those of us who live here and need the roads for normal usage, not as a tourist amusement.

Their women will back at home drinking  champagne, smoking dope  and taking  m*** and c*** in preparation  for their home coming. These guys know how to  party. Notice how the  Pattaya  based Hells Angel style MCC and  gangs avoid them.

When I lived in Saudi the Arab bikers had a Harley Davidson Gang- The HOGs!

Harley Owners Group.

Harley Owners Groups are not gangs. They are a world wide, company sponsored group of ‘owners’, nothing more.  More of a touring group of geriatric riders, getting out on Holliday and week ends, not a hard living group of ex military hard cases.

Nothing at all like Hells Angels, Nomads, Devils Disciples etc.

Same in parts of London every summer. The Arabs are untouchable  They have full $ FULL support  from their embassies in Thailand and in the UK the police are too scared to approach them for fear of upsetting certain  communities. They effectively get away with public murder attempts  on international  authors too.

Translation: Reads Daily Mail, has never met an Arab.

[Andre0720]

Same crowd and similar problem here in Phuket.

All they can think of doing between 2 prayers....

[Lizzy Duang]

1) Clearly no Harleys, more like a wannabe gang on cheap rentals.

2) Probably Indian, at least I have seen an Indian group like that in the daytime.

3) What's with all the speculations? Those are low lifes, they are not supported secretly by embassies etc, they will be rounded up and charged.

4) If you wanna speed up that process, take clearer pics of license plates and report them . As far as I know, the lottery is ongoing, so 20.000 baht can be won each month for reporting violators.

Only because they could not bring their pet camel

[mikebell]

Six cops + a few lengths of spiked chain = problem solved.  The real problem is finding six cops and forcing them to come out after dark.

[Kerryd]

If the police did their job, they would check the CCTV cameras at the Esso station which may have some close up, decent images of them as a lot of them were parked on the road right in front of the gas station.

And this was at the Pattaya Tai/Sukhumvit intersection, which is usually quite busy even in the wee hours of the morning. Can't imagine a bunch of Thai drivers in cars/trucks just sitting at the intersection because some scooters are racing on the road.

It was probably a 2 minute thing after a light change when there wasn't any traffic trying to go down that part of the Suk and they probably moved off as soon as the lights changed.

81 do not avoid anything, don't be foolish and assume all patch wearing motorcycle groups are the same.

where the law enforcement officials were when they were needed.

Amazing, given the rich pickings in tea money that were there to be had. Perhaps their new friend in Government House, who's now new best friends with MBS, has ordered the cops to lay off the Arabs?

[Formaleins]

So what? Simple, Plod gets up off his <deleted>, drives down there and beats them senseless, I mean arrests or warns them. Not too difficult really is it now?

[Cake Monster]

They got what they wished for.

Tourists from the Middle East, and now they whine and bitch about them enjoying their Holiday, although many will not think Suk is the same as the Dunes.

Simple solution. Police get off your bum, take their passports and give them street cleaning social payback for 2 weeks.  I doubt they will do it again.

and also crush their bikes.

[RT555]

Arabs are the most drug infested group in Pattaya,,,,,,,,Police are lazy to do anything about it

[connda]

Pesky Kon Keark.  So say the local Thais (and farang it seems).

Thailand and its obsession with bike racing. ????  License private drag race tracks and allow public Race Night.

All the local Drag Strips had weekly public races days on the schedule.  Regulated.  Safer.  Takes them off the streets.

By the same token the mosques should tone down their 5am prayer call to the legal 10 decibels as required by law before 6am, especially in Phuket.

I see Arab-Hatred is alive and well on this forum.  Really.  You should check yourself and the overt racial hatred.  It's not a good image for this forum.

[shackleton]

This seemingly has being going on for years racing bikes around Pattaya

The police are probably getting backhanders. ????  brown envelopes not to touch these guys 

Only when it's in the news they decide to round up a few of them 

Dish out a few fines slap on the wrist 

Then after a few days things are back to normal 

Arabs on their bikes upsetting the locals and . Foreign expats .

Strange comment. 

 

You're just stirring the pot, you're an antagonizer. 

 

Best you don't comment at all if you're going to be hostile.

Arabs or Martians, it makes no difference.  It is unacceptable act by individuals regardless of their nationalities.  Calling all Arabs names is unfair and serves no purpose other than creating a divide.  Arabs come from many different countries, and most are good and law abiding people.
