Salapoo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Once it's not the red plate given for new bikes/vehicals until the white plate arrives, absolutely no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Was on Koh Chang for a few weeks recently, with Phuket LP and a bike on GF's name. No problems, haven't seen any police there actually. :-D Sent from my GT-I9100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Thai Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You'll get killed on Koh Chang with a motor bike. Leave it at home, it's too dangerous to drive there. Even if you are an experienced rider, most other drivers there are not, also mini vans tend to drive at high speed on any side of the road going around treacherous bends.

I have driven there more then a few times. If you take care you don't get killed there just be careful around the bends as Thais often dont care on what side of the road they are.

Shurup Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Exactly, it's Thailand related and not the island itself, haven't found it anymore dangerous than the rest of Thailand.

norwaygeir Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I live part time on koh chang, and my bikes have had different plates (two with bangkok plates and some other plates but don't read thai, so don't know). My wifes scoopy does not have any plates at all (have not registrated it yet, 8 months with out plates). Koh chang/trat police are very nice, they don't make any trouble. Use a helmet, and you will be fine (they will give you a fine if you don't have helmet, but they never ask for registration, green book or anything else). Don't drive to fast in the hills, and use your back-brake when riding down (don't lock your front wheel), and you will live to see another day.

stoli Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Exactly, it's Thailand related and not the island itself, haven't found it anymore dangerous than the rest of Thailand. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I was just there on my motorbike. I couldn't agree with you more. No more dangerous than anywhere else, and who wants to be on an island and not see it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I have a D Tracker 150 but with KLX wheels with road tyres, and your bike will be great to discover the island. Not too small and easy to handle. Enjoy your time there.... Drive safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
