Hehe, yes, Thai driving is certainly a different experience to driving in New Zealand. I always do as the previous writer does, drive to survive.......TIT........this is Thailand.
Yeah I just chill back , relax and drive to survive , done several thousand kms in the last 2 weeks I’ve been here , thankfully only another couple of weeks to survive before going home
Thanks my friend ,, yes but not next year we have many other trips including the world super bikes in Portugal next year , will be back in November 2025 if I’m still around and able to do so
Yes it’s in Portimao last race of the season , we go to a lot of bike racing over the season , but mostly in the Uk , the wife loves it and we have some friends who race
Living in Thailand for the past 10 years I thought I saw it all. Then I came to Texas to visit and see my family for a few months. Ummm…I never thought I would actually say this, but Thailand drivers are safer and better than the drivers here in Tx. Me and the wife can’t wait to get out of driving with these crap drivers here and get back to L of S. I see accidents here every single day (not an exaggeration) and fatalities on a weekly basis (again, not an exaggeration). In my 10 years in Thailand and spending months at a time driving and visiting all 77 provinces, I have seen my share of accidents and covered body’s of scooter riders, but I have seen more accidents (most very bad ones) and fatalities in TX over the past 2.5 months, then I’ve seen in all of the kilometers and time driving around Thailand. Im originally from southern Ca (south of the hell hole, aka LA) and I rarely saw accidents and 3, maybe 4 fatalities in my 25 years of driving. So when I went from Ca to Thailand, I was a little surprised by the crazy drivers (the reason we opted for a truck, gotta have a little more of that Ford beef between you and the crazies), but then we came to Tx and we got an even bigger surprise by all these morons.
People driving like douche bags no matter how many cars or scooters on the road is the comparison. I have no idea where you’re from in the states or where you live in Thailand. I’m currently in the countryside outside Dallas and there’s not nearly the cars as where I’m from in Orange Co in Ca, but multiple times the morons driving like douche bags and causing more accidents than I’ve ever seen in my life with less cars. In Thailand, I spend the majority of my time in BKK (traveling in and out of the surrounding area), where there’s not only more scooters, but many times the cars than I’ve ever seen anywhere. I also spend time up in Phitsanulok, where there’s more cars than where I’m at in Dallas and most of the time as many cars as Orange Co. I don’t know if you ever been to Tx, but these bucket heads here are the worst drivers I’ve ever seen and drive much worse than my many years in Thailand. The state motto of Tx should be “if I only had a brain” lmfao. Anyway, spent enough time on talking about the negative. Have a good one dude!

Fabulous video I've watched it three times, great editing as always 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I think I'll settle for being stuck behind tractors on country roads 😄
That sounds much more relaxing.
Fantastic! Watched and rumbled
Thanks!
Funny they will speed up to get to the redlight first !
No kidding!😂

Yes, always be on defense!

Place the same amount of cars on the road versus motor bikes in Thailand to get the real idea. If not, its not the same comparison.
