thrilled Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 I'm always saying to people ,that in a Thailand where there is A large volume of traffic,don't ride to wheels.In the 43 years that I have been coming to Thailand,I can't count the number of farangs that have had major accidents on 2 wheels. 1

Have to agree, even if you are experienced. I think a lot of the figures come from the fact that many people hire bikes they don't know how to handle. The structure around 4 wheels at least gives you some protection. Meanwhile, RIP Phil. 1

This is not the time nor place but please understand that there is a counter argument to your statement about riding around in 4 wheeled tanks as opposed to 2 wheeled. If you wish to discuss it further, we can fork this thread elsewhere.
Popular Post Gil78 Posted December 30, 2013 Popular Post Posted December 30, 2013 Don't normally post, but I knew Phil for a few years and he was a sound guy who will be missed. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone has on the funeral arrangements. We all know many people who have died on bikes on this island, and we all know how dangerous the roads and drivers are here; but out of respect for Phil would it be possible to keep this thread for condolences and funeral arrangements? RIP Phil 7
