OmegaRacer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'd rather pay a fine than having to ask the government/police permission to ride with my friends. No *beep* way! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus other restrictions ? 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.

dave_boo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think the police permission for a large group of vespas or cubs or whatever is a good idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gweiloman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

guzzi850m2 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
