Haven't got a license? Don't know road rules? Can't speak the language or read the road signs? Never ridden a motorbike before? Wow! You sound perfect for driving in Thailand!
In Krabi you can get 125cc bikes for around 150 baht a day (when haggling, remember that 10 baht difference is like 50c so don't be a cheap prick about it - I was and then felt like an arse and paid extra anyway). And that price is for the whole day too.
Oh, and grab a helmut and definitely wear glasses as there are heaps of kamakazee, eye hating bugs out there!
But the bikes are awesome and road rules don't exist in Thailand! And speed limits only apply to to the local Thai. We were cruising past cops in 40km/h areas at over 100km/h and they'd just look up and be like "Ahh, a touristy farang. Let him go. Good for the economy".
So how fast you can get these bikes to go - can you beat 130km/h?? (Stu's record)
