HEY! Can you hit the like button please? I’m hoping to get 2000 likes if it’s possible…
I used to live off Soi the Bell, and used to drive home at 2AM, glad I do not have to now!
Years of experience driving motorbikes and cars all over Thailand but the is nuts. Obviously no Farangs on a motorbike venturing up that road atm as definitely would have been some serious injuries/falalities already.
Should try driving around Doi suthep Pui mountains in heavy rain at night in total darkness in About a foot of thick mud you dont drive you slide down that mountain, brakes are virtually useless nearly slid off the edge of that damned road on more than one occasion. scary as hell. So glad to get back to Chaing Mai. Then again not a scary as being searched on the side of the road by 4 armed Thai police, on my own with about a quarter of an ounce of weed half way between Chaing Rai and the Burmese border and still they never found it. Happened very near where that childrens Thai soccer team got trapped in the cave system.They were more interested in people smuggling and car rebirthing out of China.
Good Advice Rob! That last road doesn’t even look safe for walking. There should be shields, barriers and red cones every 2 meters along there plus night lighting & blinking becons everywhere. If there were safety laws. lol
I think its very normal in Thailand, I see many off such things e everywhere
I had same in Bangkok for years on phahonyothin while they did mrt extension and general road works. Massive holes in road that would suck up a car that were covered by steel plate were slippy and just the thought of them leaving not secured, worst is riding in a flooded street and not realising where the massive pot holes are until you’ve hit them! Happy travels ๐๐ฅด๐๐
Great video, thanks for the reminder of how bad some Thai roads can be. Although Iโm not the type to rent a motorbike, youโll always see me in a large SUV like the Isuzu MuX…. at least it has AWD and air conditioning
There is something to be said about American safety procedures
Just reduce the speed, drive calm and do n t drink alcohol before driving, it s simple , lol.
Thanks Rob – great advice !
Thatโs one of the reasons so many people die on Thai roads
Post a video about the safest road in Thailand – now that would be worth a watch. Chok Dee on finding it !
Don’t drive drunk period. There is actually some thought behind that law.
Who needs the FDA when you got Thai laws ๐
Great video rob !
Please donโt forget your helmet Rob.
Thailand has made you soft.
Without I looking up statistics on accidents or deaths from accidents what are the numbers like and does Thailand have accurate records of them. How many locals to tourists have been hurt or killed due to accidents? These questions and more maybe can be answered in a video by our very own Thailand Rob. Itโs not about being grim but realistic in the numbers that you can find out about.
Dang that road scared me just watching it. Good thing boomers and the other bars are in a central area there
Bad roadworks or not, if you are going to go out drinking, don’t try to ride back to your hotel by motorbike. You wouldn’t do it at home, just as you’d never ride without a crash helmet, yet some people come to Thailand and think that just because they see the locals taking stupid risks, it’s fine for them to do the same.
I read somewhere that Thailand has the second highest motor vehicle fatality rate per population in the world and that ko Phuket has the highest rate in Thailand….
And this is why I don’t drive motorbikes in Thailand. Or anywhere else!
Quote “If you start drinking, and see one of these roads, please find somebody else to take you”
Don’t drink and drive, EVER. It does not matter if you are living in the US, Thailand or anywhere else.
Be responsible and don’t do it. In the end it is not only for your own safety, but your surroundings..
Good tip dude
So true. Going down the hairpin infected road on Koh Chang, going slow, haven’t been drinking and minding my own business and….
Cool thing about it is that my friend had my Gopro harnessed to her back and caught it all on video. I call it my $66 dollar video because that is how much it cost me to get the bike fixed (no bad).
Great video and advice. Recommendation: more of these type of videos showing side roads, village life, are very interesting. Thanks.
Well it’s dangerous Rob because you are driving on the wrong side.
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ J/K
Whats your opinion of the Red Bull Heir getting off scott free after driving 110 mph and killing a police man?Do you think you would have gotten off?
Rob is a very caring genuine person , I like our American cousins.
This is how people you know died, so naturally your going to do it also!!!! What? Love ya man, but seriously flawed thinking here. in rain, no less.
Oh!! You have very carefull when you driving your motor cycle steel sticking up deep holes best thing don’t drive in night time or drunk stay safe take care William from in the philipines ๐ต๐ญ
wow its like an obstacle course.
I have heard that it was Vichitsongkram Rd that is one of the most dangerous roads in Thailand from Phuket to Patong Beach
weather is minimum 1 Exton every week
but I enjoy your video every time
Did they repeal the helmet law? Good video. I can’t imagine driving that at night.
this road is more dangerous than covid-19! tumb #191 (i heard you but can give only you one like at a time!)
Any idea what those holes are for, they look badly positioned for lamp/telegraph poles?
That’s one thing I hate about Thailand, they are everywhere sticking out from drains aswell in pattaya.
Yep that’s awful. Worst road I’ve been on was the one that went across the middle of Koh Lanta in February this year. The whole thing was practically roadworks. Very sketchy….. we avoided for the rest of our stay. Just used the coastal roads instead.
I went down that road and nearly slipped off.
Donโt drink and drive
Awww, Shht … Not Goody Goody. Wait! … Squirrel!
Ahh thatโs Thailand ๐น๐ญ๐คโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Thank You For The Great Video and keep up
The good work . STAY Safe.
thumbs up
the most dangerous road in thailand is were i live , thepprasit road pattaya
Safety Rob , good info ๐๐๐๐
Game changer for sure. Thanks Rob. ๐
very common in Pattaya for people to drive in those holes
The roads in koh chang are insanely dangerous. Even professional thai drivers take them slowly, you get crazy drivers overtaking other thai’s on them as well.
It looks SO nice an sleepy there! :/
Hello Rob thanks for the video it gave me a cold chill down my back because in 1986 my Mom moved into her new house and as I was working outside the house next door was built and there was a ditch between the two homes I fell in to it and I never saw the re bar until it went in to my right side of my body about 4 inches so I know what you meant about that road Take Care wishing everyone well
And I always thought the roads on Ko Pgnan where terrible with it steep twist and turn. This road in Kamala can even kill you if you drive slow.
7eleven closed? Good to time to change to a healthier habits.
HEY ROB, I WAS ONCE TOLD BY A VERY WISE MAN THAT THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF MOTORCYCLE RIDERS. ONE IS THE KIND THAT HAVE GONE DOWN AND THE OTHER ARE THE ONES GOING DOWN. THIS VERY WISE MAN WAS TALKING TO ME FROM HIS WHEELCHAIR. HIS LAST MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT PUT HIM IN THE HOSPITAL AND HE NEVER WALKED AGAIN. I HAVE GONE DOWN AND DON’T RIDE ANYMORE.
ABOUT THE 7-11, THE RECORD FOR GOING UP IS 4 DAYS FROM START TO FINISH. IT ALSO HOLDS THE RECORD FOR BEING THE QUICKEST TO CLOSE, FOUR WEEKS. IT SEEMS THAT THE PEOPLE DOING THE WORK ON PLANNING DIDN’T GET IT RIGHT. THERE WAS NO BUSINESS IN THE AREA. LOL
Oh man I saw this in town with a looot of people on the road I had the same thoughts…
Don’t drink in the Rebar
I can’t imagine falling off into one of those holes on a dark rainy night after a few LEOS…
Nothing happens to me. Iโm still the slowest driver in Thailand. Ok, crossing sukhumvit in Bangkok is scary, but I can always ask for help ๐
Wow very cool video Rob ! ๐๐
Rock and Roll, Rob!
