I have grown much more wary of Naklua ever since I had some teens on a moto point what appeared to be a large gun directly at my face as I was riding a baht bus.

Been like that the last 3 to 4 years along the north end of third road and up into Naklua, unfortunately nothing new, a lot of people have suggested regular police patrols along the north end of third road, but as long as the police are "involved" with many of these establishments in the area - not going to happen is it?!
