Thai Visa Group Ride - soon

[warrimurf]

According to the Bangkok Post 24/2/2015.

Police permission is required for group rides.

Plus other restrictions ?

[OmegaRacer]

I'd rather pay a fine than having to ask the government/police permission to ride with my friends. No *beep* way!

it is required for big groups but never seen a police guy asked this in my riding life here.

so, it is not necessary for trip to Bang Saen.

Your riding life may have been attitude adjusted on 22/05/2014.

I think the police permission for a large group of vespas or cubs or whatever is a good idea....

[Gweiloman]

I will check later this evening at the Suk / Asoke junction. There are usually multiple groups of riders bunching together at the stop lights. I'll step out in front of the leading Wave / Fino / Nuovo whatever and demand to see his permit. It will be safe to do that when the light is red (mostly safe, that is).

lets wait and see then. not wearing a helmet is also illegal here no? like many rules that are illegal but legal at the same time. i call it semi legal!

most probably it is for harley groups that clog all the lanes of a highway and creating problems for other vehicles.

i dont think so they create problems for 10 guys running along Bang Na Trat for 100 km to Bang Saen,

Moreover, after every red light, it is like a group in Thailand ride as 'papa' stated before! so how they can differentiate?

if we ride 1 km distance to each other, is it still a group ride? if i ride with my friend to Bang Saen two riders, is it still a group ride?

not clear IMO so attitude adjustment is going to harley guys it looks like.

But i see your concern Anthony as clearly it is a way to make us better money cows and a reason for police to stop us and abuse us.

I vote for Bang Sean. ?

+1 then I can ride up from Pattaya.

It's clear that many posters here are working in Thailand so going on weekdays not possible for them.

A shame really, I normally only ride (trips on big bike) on weekdays, less traffic, beach restaurants almost empty and so on.

In the weekends, all people living in Bangkok are escaping the big smoke which is understandable and find a place by the beach somewhere.

[brfsa2]

I'm interested, need to confirm with my GF if she wants to go too. I'm near Central Rama 9.

where is the meetup point?

With my schedule, my 4 weeks off are 4 weeks of weekends. Can go for a ride any day if I don't plan anything else (and I often do).

Sometimes I get taken by surprise at the traffic jams and then I realize it's a weekend for everyone else.

I would imagine that the most appropriate meetup point would be somewhere along BangNa Trat Chonburi Expressway. There is another group ride (not TV) to Bang Saen this weekend and their meetup point is Esso/McD's on Bang Na Trat.

Should be real simple for you, coming from Rama 9.

Strangly enough not into seafood but a ride to bangsean sounds fun, if I can grt off that is.

Now in petchabun with the versys, great riding here on new roads .

[RubberSideDown]

One 'soi dog' down, an unknown number (unknown by me, at least, though someone likely has a list) to go.

Haven't heard from the op is this ride going?

[Nebula]

He seems inactive. Suspended or just upset and offline since he mentioned he wont post if his thread is locked. IT is kind of becoming ridiculous.
