Olddaddy Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I'm sick of hiring 🛵 taxis and Grab cars 🚖 I want to learn how to ride a 🏍️ bike How many of you rent a bike when your on holidays in Thailand? I would love to "ride like the wind "🏍️🏍️💨 Is it easy to learn ? Quote
Blah Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Make sure there is a seat on the bike 😅 🚲 🚲 🚲 🚲 🚲 🚲 floridarob and Olddaddy 2 Quote
bkkmfj2648 Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Oh Olddaddy, Please be very very careful about this decision. I mainly ride a rented motorbike on the small islands (Koh Samet, Koh Larn, Koh Larn, etc.) because the traffic is not intense. I will also drive around Jomtien on a motorbike, but I almost never venture into Pattaya City on my motorbike - as it is too intense for my liking. Too many people that I know have been injured over the years on their motorbikes - so at a minimum, please take a motorbike lesson or 2 before you rent one - unless of course one of your many personalities is already an experienced motorbike rider 🏍🛵🏍🛵 vinapu, floridarob and 18past19 2 1 Quote
siriusBE Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I often ride a motorcycle at home (I’ve been doing it for over 40 years). I’ve ridden my enduro through Africa and the Middle East. I consider myself an experienced motorcyclist. But in Thailand, I only rent a bike on quiet islands. It would never occur to me to ride a bike in Bangkok or Pattaya. Maybe I’m just getting older (and/or wiser) 😉 vinapu, Olddaddy and bkkmfj2648 3 Quote
