ScubaBuddha Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) I read somewhere there is no law against riding or driving on the sidewalks in Thailand. I've seen a few areas where this seems common. It would be easy to put a small concrete step in to prevent it. That's what they would do in the states anyway. Signs and barricades everywhere.

IMA_FARANG Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) All I see in your post is one sentence of text and a large blank white square. No picture just a blank white square. Maybe it's the computer here at work and the firewall I have to access this forum through, but I see nothing else right now. Yes, I've nearly been run down on Sukhumvit many times by motorcycles that come up on the sidewalk to take a "shortcut". That doesn't make it legal. You will find a lot of taxi drivers who will go the wrong way on Sukhumvit road to by using the bus lanes to go the wrong way on that one-way road, but that is still not legal.

Hardback Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 "Mind out for pedestrians"....so that means you would give them right of way I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make it legal.Actually, it is legal for motorcycles to use the footpaths/pavements in Thailand.It's one of the questions when taking the written test for a Thai motorcycle license.

Thanh-BKK Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi I have done the exact same thing at that exact same spot so many times that i don't even care to remember how many. In that particular spot there's always dozens of trucks and buses piled up and no way to get through with a bike other than via the sidewalk. I just simply follow the hundreds of other bikes doing the same....... Nice cam by the way. Kind regards..... Thanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
