Should you rent a Motorcycle for your next Bangkok Trip?

[@earlebird4262]

Bro, you're nuts. That looks like so much stress, but I bet the challenge was a lot of fun. Thanks for another cool video.

[@tri333ple]

Thanks for watching! Definitely was fun to experience it. But can say for sure it wouldnt be my top choice of tpt in bkk. Tiring! But better than being stuck in traffic for 1.5hr

[@andyhebberd]

Emma is the best. I have rented several times. First time road from BKK to Koh Samui and return. 2nd time to Chumphon and back.

[@kevinhoffmann2189]

Riding in Bangkok is so much fun. I love it

[@wody21]

Great video, thanks for sharing your bike rental experiences in Bangkok. 😊

[@tanyongmoh8052]

Thanks for doing this video! I was thinking of doing such during my next trip but not sure where I could rent the bike.

[@tri333ple]

Thank you for watching. Emma bike rental has lots of great reviews but might not be the cheapest! Hope the info helped!

[@tanyongmoh8052]

It's will also be good to start with something and continue and explore later as that is why adventure is all about. Thanks for sharing... Cheers!!!

Hi! As a fellow Thai Citizen/Rider try not to follow other biker ( majority of them likes to run red light. ) as for Thai traffic, Normally Friday is the worst 4 pm till 11 pm. Please don't leave your belonging on the bike as most of the time it's easily stolen ( even camera grip ) I myself own a big bike to ride around it's abit challenging going through the cars sometimes. Hope you had fun riding in bkk.

Hi there. As a tourist I am planning to rent aerox 155 for a week or so to ride to Hua Hin, Kanchanaburi. Is it OK to ride scooter in highways or it's illegal. What about tolls, expressway are 2 wheelers allowed

[@saeue]

Hi there ! I would strongly suggest to check with the shop first before renting the bike to ride to other province. As for highway / troll or express way . We can't ride on any of those. going to Hua Hin or Kanjanaburi we don't have highway so you can ride without any problem. Kindly take note that you have to wear helmet and ride below 120KMPH ( Thailand max speed ) going to hua hin please beware of the big heavy weight trucks while riding. Ride Safe! Enjoy!

[@roninr8199]

@@saeue thank you for the tip. I generally don't ride more than 80 km speed in my country itself. So you are saying bike rental will not allow to use aerox 155 type scooters in highway. Hua Hin is 250 km so will it be problem. Will check with rental. What about Pattaya is it express highway? Will I be able to ride scooter till patayya?

[@saeue]

@@roninr8199 what im trying to say is that you can ride anywhere u wanna go but you have to check with the rental company first if they allow you to ride outside of bangkok. As for highway / Troll way / express way you can't ride on any of them by thai law. Anywhere is possible ! just not on highway/ Troll way / express way :) i can roughly estimate the route you will need use to ride to each destination Just let me know where u wanna go :)

[@roninr8199]

@@saeue my plan is to ride to Kanchanaburi from Bangkok. Then Bangkok to Hua Hin. Then Bangkok to Pattaya. Might be rent for 2 weeks I will rent bike . Also one day trip to aon Tong Buddha temple. Krabi, Phuket and chiang mai I will use flights.

Damn this looks scary and I’m planning to ride from bangkok to pattaya 🙃

[@MelvinLow-jf1eq]

Can I check with u . do Singaporean need to apply for international licence to rent a bike in Thailand or our current licence is enough?

[@x2s7]

looks damn stressful, thanks for trying so we do not have to. definitely would help to have a very slim bike like a kapcai or smt.

[@tri333ple]

I think its a must... after a while of riding it gets very tiring and i resorted to grabcar and grabbikes haha. Just overall an interesting experience but would be intimidating for a newer rider to experience - Amos

Side question bro, when you extend your insta360 with the selfie stick like in 4:21, does the weight drag it down over time? I face issues on SG highways where by the selfie stick just gets shorter or the stick goes down when riding. Great video and keep it up!! always loving your content

[@tri333ple]

Throughout the whole journey the stick stayed at its length but dropped a little and i had to retighten the clamp, after it happened once i figured i didnt want to take that risk so i positioned the stick to lay on the windshield as extra backup to keep everything in its position. - Amos

What kinda watch are you using for navigation? Is that google maps?

what do you do for insurance? you look as if you are pretty experienced but what if you are not as good, what happens if you crash?

usually the rental has it, and you can pay extra for more if you want thailand isnt like the west, things like insurance dont work the same way

Just use a cheap phone for nav. You don't even need cell service if you use an app with offline navigation. Even Google maps can do offline nav if you cache the maps before you go. One+ N200 is less than $250 USD, or just use one of your old phones for free. Even the cheapest phones have been supercomputers for several years. Trying to navigate with that watch looked painful.

[@tri333ple]

guess i have to do that. seems like a better option compared to looking at the freaking watch haha! - Amos

[@subtronik9311]

@@tri333ple From my experience best to memorise the map, don't look at either a phone or smart watch, and then stop on the side when u really get lost. Anyway, they say the best way to really get to know a city is to get completely lost, and actually that's probably very true.

[@tri333ple]

Totally agree with you. But at the same time i have very very bad habit ... relying too much on the gps. Maybe getting lost will be fun as well 😆 -Amos
