Brainles young farangs on huge motorbikes in Pattaya

[vangrop]

Last Thursday around 8 pm I was trying to cross second road from Mike Shopping to the Edge at Soi Diana. There is as usual an enormous traffic jam and the pedestrians try to squeeze through between the motorbikes sonteos, busses etc.

I almost reached the opposite side at the Edge. Than a superbike kind of Harley Davidson powered by an up 1000 cc engine with enormous wheels, a steer as large as the wings of a condor conducted by a young farang wearing a theapot on his tiny head raced from soi Diana into Second road. He missed me by an hair, deducting from his agressif driving unfortunately for him I suppose. I said what are you doing here with such an engine in the middle of a busy city known for her huge traffic jams. Of course I got the classic f… you from the moron. Paradoxically it made me laugh because the tough (?) screaming biker had such a kind of baby voice.

These kind of bikes should be banned from a city with small sois and continuous traffic jams.

An intelligent individu would avoid driving this kind of things in this city.

Of course this Pattaya has his part of brainless farangs haunting the streets.

You could also complain about people driving cars in a city with such traffic jams... 

... then you could balance out the 'chip on your shouder' with a chip on the other side....

 

If people want to rent bikes, big or small, thats surely up to them as long as they are riding legally.

 

From your post it just seems you don't people riding bigger bikes...   really, it should be the police who simply deal with idiots riding dangerously, driving selfishly, parking poor and blocking the roads etc...  

As usual - its the lack of enforcement that lends to the enabling of such behavior... 

 

 

 

Interesting that you'd want to ban something as small as a motorbike from a city but have mentioned nothing of the tour busses plaguing the streets..

Maybe he was trying to impress you and wanted to date you, I noticed a lot of young farangs on motorcycles have a thing for older farangs and desperate to be noticed.

Read carefully, I absolutly don't want to ban the small bikes like scooters. I think those are the best transport solution to avoid jams in big cities. Indeed you have a point re cars and busses. City hall should ban them out of the centre, such as policies ar now in most big Europan cities.

[bignok]

Nah Thailand has character. Banning cars etc is wokeish westy stuff.

The town is too large to ban vehicles...  

 

Much of the traffic is caused by selfishness, people doing what they want without any consideration for others. 

 

Busses are of course a problem too...  poor planning, poor enforcement..    its the same in most Thai towns.

 

It would be extremely difficult to Ban car's in central Pattaya, its just too big...

They could establish a time system. Determining during which periods this type of vehicle could circulate. I'm obviously also thinking of trucks. In addition they should reduce the excessive number of osteos.

Is that an example of an "oxymoron question"?

I could think of a few arguments not to banish cars, but 'Pattaya is too big' would not be a reasonable argument.

Who are you to ask why someone has a big bike? Do you go up to 4WD drivers asking why they have such a big car? Lucky he let you off with a F you

 

Maybe learn to cross the roads better by not crossing at a junction where traffic is turning onto 2nd road

Really? I don't appreciate any bad driving behaviour by any people of any colour. Why do you have a specific dislike of "Farang"?

 

To the OP: If you want to relieve the congestion of traffic on Pattaya roads, relieving it of a few big bikes you dislike is not going to help - you need to get rid of cars, tour buses, and Baht buses. You might as well stop whinging because congestion is only going to get worse as tourism ramps up to full capacity in the coming years. Currently, it's Road works along 2nd Road causing most of the congestion. The council decided to start the road work AFTER covid when the streets were starting to get busy again.

You have noticed that 'young farangs on motorcycles' are vying for the attention of older Westerners ???

 

Thats some hilarious imagination you have...  I'm just incredulous at how you could possible conclude that...

Only brainless young farangs ??...   silliness is exercised on the roads amongst the young, the old Thai and Foreign... 

 

This idea that its just 'young people' and they want the attention of older foreigners is out there on the fringes strangeness, the musings of a complete fruit-cake...

Well said - its seems there's an 'anti young' and 'anti bikes' thing going on in this thread...     its kind of like a 'thread twighlight zone' as if we're in a different reality devoid of normalcy and common sense.
