Dear farang tourists, please don’t rent scooters

I can’t emphasize this statement enough.

You might think you are experienced rider, you might even think you know the rules of the road, but you would be wrong.

I just drove down from Naghkon Sawan to Phang Nga and the drive was uneventful until farang weekend riders started to appear. Nooo, you don’t merge for u-turns, you keep left and only when cars pass you turn right. Please stop giving me heart attack with your wobble all over the road. I cringe when I see you and your girlfriend on scooter in front of me. ;)

Get tuk-tuk, sang-thew, grab or even rent a car, but for your own sake do not ride in Thailand. I mean that with best intentions. :)

Edit: I am farang. Please don’t teach me about how to drive in “my” Thailand. I passed driving test in EU and drove on every continent, but Australia. ;)

No, I also don’t own tuk-tuk, but sure go ahed, rent scooters, if it means that much to you. No need for poroper licensing and insurance either.

Edit 2: LOL How on earth some of you gathered that I have ever rented motorcycle in Thailand?

Anyways, I am done with this thread. Best of luck to you all. :)
