Safety tips for first-timers riding in Thailand
Traffic in Thailand differs from many countries. These are general guidelines, not a guarantee of safety. Please ride carefully at all times.
1. Keep left
Thailand drives on the left. If you are used to the right, double-check each time you leave a fuel station, car park or junction.
2. Always wear a helmet
The law requires the rider and any passenger to wear one. Fasten the strap even for a short ride. We include two helmets free.
3. Never ride after drinking
The legal alcohol limit is low and police run breath-test checkpoints. Do not ride after drinking, not even a little.
4. Start slowly somewhere quiet
If you have never ridden a scooter, practise in an open, quiet area first: pulling away, braking, turning. Learn where both brake levers are and squeeze them gently and together.
5. Expect others not to signal
Other vehicles may turn, U-turn or cut across lanes without indicating. Keep your distance and look both ways at junctions and roundabouts.
6. Watch the road surface
Wet roads, sand, gravel, leaves and potholes can make a bike slide easily. Slow down before bends and in the rain.
7. Avoid riding at night outside town
Some rural roads are unlit and may have animals, trucks or vehicles with no lights. Plan long rides to finish before dark.
8. Dress for it
Wear closed shoes or trainers, long trousers and sunglasses. Avoid flip-flops. Carry a rain jacket in the wet season.
9. Two people at most
A maximum of two: one rider and one passenger. Do not overload the bike, and do not carry a child without a helmet.
10. No phone while riding
Pull over to check a map or take a call. If you navigate by phone, use a secure phone holder.
11. Park and lock it properly
Park somewhere visible, lock the steering, and do not leave valuables in the under-seat box.
12. Check your travel insurance
Some travel policies do not cover riding a motorbike. Our bikes carry only the compulsory insurance, so check your own cover before you come.
