How many Thais on a bike!

Not sure if this has been done before?

A thread for pictures of Thais on motorbikes.

I'll kick off with...

[Thai Pom]

No it doesn't.

Thought I would post a few with Indonesian's doing their best with what they have, so we have balanced content. Lest some think their Thailand experiences are unique.

I asked a copper here in Thailand why children and babies could be taken on motorcycles, he told me you cant buy helmets that small, just the adults need hats,
thai logic.

[Chittychangchang]

[hallelujah]

Count the helmets. Fucking idiots.

Who needs a helmet when you have an amulet?

[GracelessFawn]

What?!

[Nicethaiza]

Tell him to smile ...

The little thing looks confused and a little scared. Heck, I'd be screaming my lungs out if it was me inside that bag.

Great unemployment solution.

I ride without a helmet from the Farm to the near-by Ma n Pa Shop ... it's a great freedom.

Different story though (before we bought a car) when on the main road going to the local Lotus.
Everyone with lids on then.

Horses for courses.


Just being honest ... I'm not a PC sort of guy.

I presume the ground on the way to the ma and pa shop is softer than the ground elsewhere then?

Actually, mostly YES

First third is through the Farm (dirt), the last third is on a backwater road with a canal on one side and the middle third, looks like this ...



Don't think a helmet is going to help me much there ... unless it's a diving helmet !


Not everyone riding experience is the same.

We've all done it.

It was actually a Thai copper who made the salient point when fining me for riding from Sathorn to Silom without a helmet.

[jimbobs]

The thing is if they wear a helmet it's just a cheep plastic thing that will do nothing in an accident but will stop a fine
I ride locally myself without a helmet sometimes

We have a running joke about helmets... They're mandatory, in case we have an accident. It keeps our brains from splattering and scattering on the pavement. 555 Not funny in English, as it is in our native tongue.

[Maanaam]

I always wear a helmet.
It's as I told my son when I taught him to drive: You may be the best driver in the world, but it's the idiots out there that will cause an accident, so always drive cautiously. Assume there is an idiot on the road.

[david44]

No it doesn't.

The bikes I used had the same format, it's not a Thai matricuation it's in Vietnamese characters, the yellow building oh and the photgrapher was from nam, of couse it may be photoshopped.

I assume he's selling all that door to door? He must be a very confident salesman
