RE: Travel Tips - Be careful whilst renting a scooter! [A story about how we got scammed]

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

I see that in Thailand almost every week. Traffic is very dangerous in some places but what's even more dangerous are unexperienced tourists that drive too fast or drink and drive. So there are always accidents where tourists are involved. My opinion is, if people can't really drive a scooter confidently, they should not rent it. Places like Koh Samui or Phuket are the wrong spot for learning how to drive a scooter.

Yes people go on vacation and do things they don't normally do and wouldn't do at home. Sometimes it doesn't end well.
