How can I gain confidence riding a motorcycle or scooter in Pattaya after 35 years away from riding?

Forget about the word scooter, it confuses a lot of prople.

In Thailand it is all motorcycles, and for that a motorcycle drivers license is needed, also for insurance purposes.

agree Honda will give you what you want. Practice riding in a safe environment, the opportunity to get back on a bike and the potential to get your license as part of the 3 or so day course….and it’s a lot of fun too.

just had 4 monthes riding a bike in phuket. Not a pleasant experience to be honest , but due to traffic being horrendous. I really did not want sit in the long traffic queue’s. I am 67. Been riding a bike since 16 years old.

Its a crazy place. You need to be so so aware of whats around you. Esp the bikes under taking you on the inside. You need to constantly be using mirrors. Get yourself a good helmet. And check your travel insurance. As most only covers up to 125cc. Makesure you have international drivers license. And makesure its stamped up. I got stopped few times in road blocks. The police specifically check for this. Best of luck. Ride safe!👍
