Amazing video. I'm Thai. From my persepctive, dekwan problems come from; 1. Limited public transportation especially in the rural area. This make the parents to have no choice, but to buy them bikes, even though they are not old enough to have a license yet. 2. Many kids in the rural area live with their grandparents due to their parents working big cities. The grandparents tend to spoil their grandchildren and buy everything they want including bikes and modification parts. 3. From the above answer, many grandparents in Thailand like to spoil their grandchild and when they do something illegal and get arrest, they will say something like "My boy is a nice kid", even though the cops see a pill of amphetamine in his/her hand. "My grandkid is always good". Anyway, nice research and presentation. Thank you so much for making a video about my country (even though it's something we are not proud of 55555555, in Thai language five is ha so 55555 is like lol.)

Fun fact, most of those "scooters" aren't actually scooters, they're a type of motorcycles that are practically nonexistent in Europe and North America but are hugely popular in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Those scooter-looking motorcycles are actually underbones, also known as semiautomatics or CUBs, and I have heard from someone from SEA that they call them "duck bikes" over there. They're small displacement motorcycles (typically 110 to 150cc) with a siluete that very closely resembles scooters, but unlike scooters which have their engines mounted to the swing arm and a CVT transmission, underbones have a traditional motorcycle engine connected to the rear wheel by a chain like in any regular motorcycle, and they have a gearbox. However, unlike a traditional motorcycle, they don't have a manual clutch, but a centrifugal one, that's what makes them semiautomatic, because you don't have to manually use the clutch when you want to switch gears. And apart from the centrifugal clutch, their other key difference is that you have the gas tank under your seat like in a scooter instead of between your legs, leaving that space open for you to get on sliding your legs from the front like if you were getting on a scooter. Probably the most known motorcycle of this category is the Honda Super Cub. They're very practical for urban riding because they're very easy to use, super fuel efficient, pretty comfortable, and they share some of the key advantages of scooters like a legs shield protecting your clothes from getting dirty, and the underseat storage.

They might be hated but as a British motorcyclist I kinda relate to them, our licensing laws kept me riding 125 cc bikes for years, I remember modifying it to try and get as much power and noise out of my minuscule engine, racing my fellow CBT riders meeting up in carparks and seeing who could do wheelies failing to impress girls and doing completely bodged repairs to each others bikes. If we could have afforded bigger bikes we would have had them but we never had that much money at one time. It really seems like the majority of hated subcultures are just poor kids trying to have fun or gain status within their own circles. I now work in the motorcycle Industry, I'm a qualified motorcycle technician own multiple bikes and can't imagine not riding daily. If we can stop trying to crush any passion that poor kids have they can potentially turn it into a positive addition to society.

It's the same as what happened in Indonesia, but lately this trend has been decreasing and changing with other motorbike trends that are wilder in my opinion. more towards motorcycle gangsters who are at war with each other. And recently there have been many cases of random slashings on Indonesian streets which have occurred late at night. Usually the perpetrators of the slashing are members of a motorcycle gang who drive around late at night and the victims are those who happen to be passing by on a quiet street. And the legal process for the perpetrators is quite difficult because most of them are minors.

Here is my theory If you look closer into this, most (if not all) of this kids came from a working class in our society where their parents; 1. have not receive enough education as a kid 2. cannot have a well paid job and ended up working in a job that didn't earn much money (minimum wage is Thailand is 353 baht a day which is around 10 USD) 3. have to work Over Time to pays the bills 4. have less time to spend with their children when they have all their time and no one is guiding them on how or what to do with their life, it is very easy for them to go after a "simple" happiness such as gathering with friends and snowballing into whatever it is today. When they participated in this life and subculture, it is hard for them to get good education and having a good and necessary connection to propel their life into a correct direction. and the cycle repeating itself once again..... The problems of education, poverty, qualify of life and ability to compete with others are unfortunately intertwined. The further to felt down this hole, the more energy required to get out of it.

Where I live in Brazil, a rural area, there is a bike culture that is quite annoying. They use dirty bikes, but ride on unpaved main streets, where it's illegal. They substitute the exhaust with a metal pipe to make it incredibly loud. For a long while people didn't care, but then they removed the exhaust to get attention from the noise, people sought the police. They use no helmets and flip flops as well... A few died, when they hit something, but very few. They are often underage as well... As we live in a far away place from the city, it's common for people here to ignore safety laws, which is cool sometimes, but other times not, like when they poisoned the groundwater using too much pesticide. I love motorcycles myself, I have a dual sport and I do everything on it. But the problem with these people is that they force you to pay attention to them. I never saw the police here before, and now they call it from time to time. Not to mention that these gangs always bring urban problems to rural areas, like drugs. Anyway, it's a shame they need so much attention, otherwise they would get my support.

They seek for Gang reputation, Girls and just to be some kind of Street’s Legends. The mechanic who modified the engine also raised into fame If their engine work do well in the racing event. Which called in Thai “Test”. Thank you for a good well-researched content.

They use the most monstrous way to deal with riders gangsters. Do you know "the unseen wire dead trap " for Dek Waen on the street? When these gangsters are riding on the street and hitting this trap, the unseen wire can chop off their head immediately. I know this from thai folklore horror story about Dek Waen headless ghost who was killed by this trap and became wandering ghost to haunt people. Maybe the ghost story teller want to use ghost story to make these Dek Waen to be afraid of their disturbing actions, I guess.

If anyone's not clear on the phrase. I'd translate the phrase as the "Vroom kids" Dek = Kid Waan = Vroom I love the take you have on it. Thais just clamp down on this stuff. Because of the culture of seniority, the younger people's needs and wants tends to be forgotten. Kids only thought of in terms of "What can they do for us" So the level of thought given to them is simply "They make sound. just punish them and make them stop." The video made me realize that these guys are the local versions of the "sk8erbois" and to compare and contrast them really shows a difference in the cultural mindset both in the kids and society looking at them. Since they grew up believing that their feelings don't matter, they failed to realize the value of the hobbies and actions they do and respect it enough for it to grow into a thing. Perhaps the dreaded thai follower mindset stems from a lack of inherent internal value. Therefore value has to be pursued from other sources that people respect.

Yes, when all of us lock up at home scared to even come out, they took up upon themselves to become the pulse of the nation, keep on working and delivering all our peoples needs in the time of unprecedent uncertainties, and some of them did not survived the pandemic.. they also sometimes will act as 1st responder when road accident happen, risking they own life to safe others in burning car, this happen in front of my eyes, the guy literally smash a burning car window(with they helmet) and jump inside to save a baby WITHOUT HASITANT ! its crazy how brave some of them were..

And too add to that they tend to be short tempered and will demand money from you when you caused an accident to them but will plea like beggar and beg not to pay if they did on you and some of them for some damn reason remove the mufflers on their bikes making them absurdly loud as possible the reason from what I gathered is that they want to have an illusion that they have a super engine underneath those sorry vehicles

In the Philippines dumb motorcycle riders are called "kamote riders" I could only assume it's a play on "kamen rider", the japanese superhero tv shows which was very popular in the Philippines locally dubbed "masked rider", but the 'kamen' was replaced by "kamote" or sweet potato. Exactly like Dek Waen, they're riding around cheap low CC scooters and motorcycles with open pipes that make the most annoying noise especially at night when people are sleeping; they're also known to "show off" at winding mountain roads where they love recording themselves illegally riding and banking on the opposite lane at blind curves, with some causing traffic collisions and most just stupidly slipping on the road. There's this sarcastic comment we usually say when we hear the annoying noise of a kamote rider's open pipe it's "WOW, he's running 120, 100 sound 20 speed"

Damn they are annoying.

As a Thai and someone that know a lot of dekwaen and former dekwaen. I think from the older person or foreigner it’s may seem like the government didn’t do anything to help them but from my perspective even though I don’t really like the government but I think they did help them but not directly say that this for dekwaen. They trying to advocate and teach them at school, building parks and sports courts in almost every town or city to channel their aggressiveness because from what I’ve seen dekwaen just kids that has some problems whether it’s from family, school or where else. And a lot of them I feel like they just wanted companionship, attention or just being influenced by environment.

Made me laugh so much. I lived half my life in Bangkok because my father was a expat and that’s where my family lived. I’ve always had several theI bikes & they are in various stages of modification. Years ago (in the early 2000’s) I use to ride from my home just 45-50km south of Bangkok up to Bangkok to take in the sights of those beautiful balmy evenings around the city. I’m not a drinker & not interested in Thai hookers but have always been a bit of a petrol head 😂. I was too big to be a Dek Wan (too heavy to be competitive in a scooter) & besides rode a slightly larger capacity bike with manual gears (Most DekWan prefer autos because they’re faster off the lights and there’s heaps of cheap mods avail for these models) but always had a good laugh watching these guys and girls as I got about Bangkok. One thing not mentioned in this docco is that in Thailand it’s common for traffic lights to have timers on them, so as you sit at a red light a large digital timer counts down to 0 (when the light changes to green 90,89,88,87 etc etc 3,2,1 BOOM - away blast the Dek Wan 🤣 Lots of bikers killed on the streets of BKK especially during Song Kran festival. There’s always something to do in the city of angels, the city that never sleeps. Once a Bangkok rat, always a Bangkok rat. I know the Streets, Roads & Sois of Bangkok intimately- although for me, the best years of life in Bangkok have long passed, now when I think about it I either laugh or morn my lost youth. I’d like to point out, by the time DekWan became a thing I was already an old man & my Tgau friends always use to laugh as I ratted my way through Bangkok that I was the Grandfather of the DekWan, too old and too slow -- even the cops use to wave me through the roadblocks 😂 ❤ Bangkok ❤

Nowadays in Thailand bigger bike is now easier to get than a decade ago. It's now said that "Dek Waen" is about behavior than about the bike. While smaller 150-350 scooter is still popular. Grown up "Dek Waen" whose can afford larger expensive bike like Yamaha R1 or BMW S1000R can still be called "Waen Upgraded" if they still ride recklessly.

Also sometimes you would see like 12 year olds on motorbikes here and it’s really scary, but it’s normal and the police here in the countryside is far and few.

Oh, the Thailand version of the Malaysian "Mat Rempit". Similar to Dek Wan. They are a moped/scooter gang. And for many of us in the motorcycle scene consider the "Mat Rempit" is the OG for SEA gangster biker gang. Cuz a lot of the SEA scooter gang is heavily influenced by the "Mat Rempit' since somewhere around the 90's. Just lately those guys are looking over to the Thai's cuz of their superior scooter modification. Over here in Malaysia, the culture is slowing down unlike back in the late 90's to early 2000's. But it's still alive and kicking. And don't be confused because there is 2 version of those moped/scooter gangs here in Malaysia. One is the "Mat Rempit", those who is heavily involves in illegal racing, drugs and gangsterism. And there's the good guy scooter gang, the "Mat Moto". They go on convoys, does customization/beautification on their scooters and ngl, their scooters can go up to tens of thousand Malaysian Ringgit(MYR). Basically equivalent to USD2000++. They have a slogan, "kami bukan mat rempit. Kami mat moto. Hobi kami mahal"( we are not nat rempit, we are mat moto. Our hobby is expensive).

What a blast to the past! I was still in Thailand when the crackdowns started. These bike boys have been an accepted part of life for people in suburban provinces (in that you don't like them but eh *shrugging* . Just steer well clear of them, because they are usually armed and violent). But I think the uproar started when we learned just how large they were becoming all of a sudden, how they actually set up their own racetracks and claimed whole lanes of streets for themselves to race at night. Smartphone culture started around that time, and people at home started sending video clips to mainstream TV news programs and brought the issue to the limelight, pressuring the police to do something. I remember there used to be a pop song called "Waen Boy & Skoy Girl" that came out when I was a kid. I was also told the terms originated from "Dek Wen" which is a swear word meaning "brat", and "Gong goi" which is a type of demon in Thai belief, but I don't know if there is research supporting this theory XD.

Malaysia has almost exactly, if not exactly, the same thing called 'Rempit' (RRREEEEEEMMMM PRRRIIIITT You get the idea).🤪 Even down to the possible early to mid 2000s origins off of a frickin movie that went ultramega mainstream and just took over the national consciousness, to the historical trajectory up until today, with almost exactly the same methods/mannerisms/motivations/etc😮‍💨 Now I personally don't know or even care if the 'Rempit' life is still a major thing in Malaysia, but these days, there're more little shits using plain old bikes, usually on the cheaper end, doing almost exactly the same things with those Rempits using motorbikes🥱 Are they a pain in the ass? Like there was even a need to ask. Buggers have a hard on for doing some of the nastiest shit at times, almost all of em are insanely rude just for the hell of it, and almost all of em quit by the time they hit their late 30s😌 Same shit in Japan too especially back during the 70s-90s🤔 No idea if these kinds of things go way back in our entire history, but I wouldn't be surprised at all. The 'urban/civilized/city life' aspect to all of these lifestyles are probably THE KEY to predicting how, why and when they'll develop, almost like a sociocultural feature or law🧐
