Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Thai motorists demanded police take action against two foreign men riding electric unicycles, or e-unicycles, on a crowded road in the northern province of Chiang Mai. The video of two foreign men riding the e-unicycles in Chiang Mai was shared on February 10 by a Facebook, Guru Guroo Chiang Mai. The caption read… “Very dangerous! E-unicycles on Ring Road 2 near Payap University. Spot them at 12pm.” The two foreign men were seen riding the e-wheels in the right lane of the road. Their practice is considered dangerous and illegal because the right lane is reserved for vehicles travelling at high speed. Furthermore, this type of vehicle is not allowed on Thai roads. The Facebook page added that many motorists honked their horns to warn the two foreigners to move to the left lane or a footpath but the men ignored them. Thai netizens commented on the video asking the police to take action. “Police must take this case seriously because other motorists will be in trouble if something happens to them.” By Petch Petpailin Caption: Photo via Facebook/ กูรูเชียงใหม่ เรื่องเชียงใหม่กูรู้ Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-12 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

No sure about that, I see an E-Unicycle rider every morning at 6am on his way to work... I speak to him regularly if we stop at the nearby traffic lights. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post arick Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Three years back a Thai thief( charged property fraud) with his yellow Porche was driving at very high speeds and killed two people on their motor bikes in Hang Dong. He had no mandatory insurance & no tax. He walked away free and wasn't fined. 4 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aussie999 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Just seems like another attack on foreigners as Thais get away with so much more, every single minute of the day... yes warn them, regarding the correct lane but I'd like to see the regulation stating unicycles are illegal. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that on those types of vehicles they should be the left of the left lane and not in the fast lane, not to mention those types of vehicles ar not permitted on a motorway. It's obviously a danger. These morons are going to get killed. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbko Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 I was walking along Jomtien's beach promenade several weeks back and some farang went zipping around me on one of those things and it was playing music. He was just zipping around people left and right, an accident waiting to happen. Those things are not meant for sidewalks or to be in traffic, basically they're a skateboard on steroids, keep them on bike paths/lanes. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post newbee2022 Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 Many members here are calling Thai's as "morons", giving then examples. However these 2 foreigners are not following the Thai laws. If I would drive in UK a pick-up with my crew of 4 or more workers as cargo..... it's against UK laws. Are British then to be called "morons"? If you live in a foreign country you have to accept, that there might be a lot of different rules to follow. Maybe some you're not able to understand. So accept the fine and pay the fine because of disregard Thai laws. (The disregard of Thai people is unfortunately not to be fined) 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jossthaifarang Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have to say, for a while, I thought there was a sudden influx of idiots coming to Thailand doing stupid things. After seeing this one, I think that the Thai media is on a mission to get rid of foreigners completely. It seems a bit petty this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
