I buy a lot of gemstones from that region and every time I've been there it's been dry. The one thing I haven't driven while over there is a motorcycle.
Sorry for the late reply. I missed your post.
The traffic in Bangkok is horrendous. I only ride through it when leaving town.
The backs roads are incredible. The north of Thailand (basically the foothills of the Himalayas) have some of the best twisties on earth. West is the Burmese border with great riding north of the town of Kanchanaburi- of 'The Bridge Over the River Kwai' fame. South-west around Ranong new racetrack like tarmac with just as good, if not better riding than up north.
Thai drivers follow the 'might is right' mantra. There's a reason why Thailand has the second most dangerous roads in the world. After Libya, I think.
12 month a year riding but the hot season (March, April, May) is not good for leathers.Monsoon season just after is hit and miss. Usually only rain late afternoon.
I love riding here.
Nice photos :smile2: I was there a few months ago 0 Beware of the monkeys at Kanchanaburi region :wink2: Have a nice trip :grin2:
