If they are not allowed to drive in a particular direction or on a particular street, the authorities must put up a sign to say so, not rely on a taxi rider to enforce a “rule”. No wonder the Swedes were upset. as far as i know its possible to ride until 5pm.. but that might have changed as i have not been there for several month now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the Swedes were upset. In my local city there are 2 "1 way" streets either side of a single block, forming an anti-clockwise circle. Cars tend to respect the no entry signs on both streets, but motorcycles totally ignore the "official" signs, especially when being ridden by RTP.

Especially after seeing so many locals (probably including the ones shouting) casually ignore any and all traffic rules where they are an inconvenience to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 If there is a clear sign that you need special permission to drive on the road the Thais are correct.... But probably it is a rule made by someone as often we notice here...and yeah than you get a dispute and who is right???? of course we are guests and always wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was there the street Soi Bangla closed at night and was turned into a walking street. I didn't think it closed at 3:30 pm even if it did, I'm sure there are thai's also driving on the street after it was closed. I also haven't been to Phuket for many years and I believe you are correct about the evening restriction. As I remember it was closed to traffic from 4pm until sometime early morning.

Dart12 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I feel like the reporter could have easily taken the time to discover what the 'posted' law is for that street, no? But if I'm seeing heavy traffic driving on a street, despite postings, and I'm singled out by non law enforcement I might stand my ground as well if pushed. Also. Are we sure these are swedes? Also look just like people from Finland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very hard to believe that arabs and African immigrants or “refugees” are somehow more educated than actual Swedes.
