I am not an early morning person. However early morning is the best time for a great motorbike ride through Bangkok. Join me as I head out at 7am on a Sunday morning on my Honda ADV 160 motorbike to give you a tour of sleepy Bangkok, Thailand. This is the best time to go as there are so few cars and people on the road. You can see this giant city waking up as you cruise through town. We will visit many different places on this motorbike tour. I have been wanting to ride through Bangkok on a early Sunday morning for quite some time. Come along for a fun early morning ride!

Judging by the number of cameras that you're loaded with there Serg; if you're ever in an accident then there's a strong chance that you'll capture evidence of who's fault it is!!

If you travel by motorcycle in this Bangkok city. You will enter the next level of adventure mode. It's like you're opening up a new perspective in a corner that you've never been to or didn't know before. Because traveling local city doesn't have the BTS or MRT that can be easily reached like in the city that normal tourists are used to. Bangkok is a city where motorbike riding is fun if there is no traffic jams.

@LifewithSerg 11 месяцев назад

Respect on the driving and angles etc. I love riding my motorcycles back in the US but I'm terrified of bangkok traffic even though I have a prof. driver license and have even driven for courier companies like FedEx in the past. I just don't think I would feel comfortable driving especially with the heat with all the gear on, airflow can only do so much. lol

@LifewithSerg 11 месяцев назад

By covering your skin, you’re preventing, sunburn, sheet exhaustion, and also just a constant heating of the skin surface. But wearing jacket and pants, I’m actually staying much cooler than if I was in shorts and a T-shirt. But yes, Bangkok is a crazy place to ride, and drive.

Actually, about the Left Turn issue, it is stated in the law that all left turn are through traffic except for a traffic sign stated otherwise. When I took driving test more than 30 years ago, The first test was a Fail because I paused at the left turn at the cross section. The examiner, who failed my test, stated that I was supposed to take the left turn without any pause. It is required.
