IDP Question
Thinking about getting a scooter - for the same reasons - a big bike can easily get into serious trouble here. And I am thinking either 250-300 for that extra power when/if needed. You will never see me on the big highways on it, but for running around the village and surrounds it seems a great way to go - and I do love riding. When we go to the LPGA in Pattaya I hire a scooter to ride there and back, because we can go right inside a park - and for free. Very convenient and easy, compared to a rip-off bus or tuk tuk. Been there done that with regards to big bike trips in groups, and doing it in Thailand has so many negatives. I recall years ago when I knew a bloke at work that was going on one of those bike tours but this time it was not Europe it was in Vietnam. I said a few negative things and he was very defensive, so I finished it with my question - how good are the hospitals in remote Thailand mate? Sometime after he got back he admitted to me about his mate that had fallen off the bike and it took a long long time to get him to a hospital and it was crap - he ended up losing a leg. The whole trip was a clusterphark - the local guide 'disappeared' and they were on their own. The third world is not the smartest place to ride around on a big bike - things we took for granted when we were young (like decent ambulances) do not exist much here. It is a huge risk and one I agree with you about not being worth taking. Even if they offered ride days with insured rental bikes at Buriram, I would give it a miss - too many risks involved - besides the fact that at my age I no longer bounce when I fall. -
