Breaking News!

Following my campaign to raise awareness of basic motorbike safety, the Thai Public Health chief says that ‘Monks, mothers with babies and women wearing long skirts should avoid riding motorcycles because of the risk of injury’

 So yes, you heard it here first. And I bet you can hear me sigh with relief, too. Actually the story is not that funny, because inevitably there have been several fatalities and maimings. I wonder if there is a niche in the market for importing protective bike gear? And even helmets, dare I suggest?

Anyway, on a brighter note, today’s Moped Moment involved a pillion passenger pulling a  huge handcart behind the moped, using only one hand. Impressive stuff. And I actually saw a traffic cop. Tomorrow, I will blog about either Thai music, Thai telly or Thai fashion, or possibly even a combination of all three. I suspect you getting bored of the mopeds now.
