Hi adam,

Do a few hours reading in the relevant sub-forums (accommodation, after dark, beach bar, ask the expats etc) or do a search. There is also an FAQ section. If you have any questions after that, please ask

I don't ride one, but I spend my time trying to avoid them in my car all of the time.

Either explain the tricks of survival on one, or else tell him how to drive a bike with his eyes closed in full Thai style.

In the past year I have seen about 30 accidents personally (only one where I was involved and I was parked)

When I first planned to move here, a scooter was in the plan, but not now thanks

Top advice, you take your life in your hands with a motorbike taxi also, avoid like the plague.

I think the trick to survival, which just about all expats who buy a scooter here forget, is to STAY in the lane of traffic you are in. Just like you would do in your home country.

I know, frustrating as hell stopped behind a bus belching fumes and watching all the Thai's swerve and jam and jockey for position at the front of the line. However, example given perhaps will rub off on some and that's a good thing.

The next thing is not to develop an invisible plaster cast on your neck, preventing looking left or right at least 45 degrees. Thai's don't like dairy products very much and it must be a calcium problem giving them neck pains. They also like to use their mirrors too much, many times frames with no glass in them. But, today I was actually behind a Thai man with good mirrors but unfortunately he was on his cell phone and squeezing a zit by using his mirror and totally forgot the difference between a green and red light. I said nothing but I sure wish I understood Thai slang well enough to know what the other Thai drivers surrounding him were screaming when they missed the light.

Last thought, buy a scooter with a side car or cart, this forces you to stay in your lane. But, drive more than 5 kph at least, please. Pete
