Please be careful riding in Bangkok


Saw a Farang down tonight (5 June 23) at the end of Soi 33 Sukhumvit. Young man in his twenties. I think he was riding a push bike as he had the lycra on and perhaps was not wearing a helmet. I didn’t see the accident itself. Broken arm, broken leg and head wounds. I am an experienced motor bike rider in Australia and have ridden a lot of Thailand and I wouldn’t ride in Bangkok myself. The traffic flows differently here and if you don’t understand the flow you’ll be lucky to survive. I watch the traffic here and frankly the only reason many Farangs survive is because the Thais make allowances for them. The pic is not to show any disrespect at all but just a warning to others. I hope the young man involved makes a full recovery. Kudos to the Indian lady who helped him by calling a friend on his phone and calling for the ambulance. I offered assistance but wasn’t much use :(
Please be careful you take your life in your hands when you ride here.
