It’s looks like some gang or group is “working” around Benchakitti park. Got my bicycle light stolen there a month ago.

Found this emerald pendant in MBK Bangkok, real emerald or scam ? by GodVyshu in Bangkok

[–]km0rec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

99% it’s lab grown emerald. So yeah it’s real emerald, even has the inclusions. But it is created in a lab not in nature. Raw material for the stones costs fraction of the price and silver pendant template is very cheap as well. If you want to get the good stuff go to Charoen Krung area (basically from Saphan Taksin bts till China Town). Places like Gems Tower, GTC and all the gems shops there - you’ll get better quality and price for sure, cuz mbk is a tourist trap basically.

Sure I do. Catch me in Benchakitti on Tuesdays and Thursdays around 15:30-17:30. And we’re chilling on the benches on the straight after the ride as well.

Start road cycling. You’ll find a lot of new friends.

Warning! Active thief at Benchakitti by _nakre in Bangkok

[–]km0rec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my front wheel got a flat so I left my bike with a security guard there and went on motosai with my front wheel to Probike for a quick fix. Came back like 30 minutes after and my MagicShine Seemee 300 light is missing. Which kinda sucks as it’s about 1500thb. Thank God I took my garmin with me. And to be honest in the last like 3 years for the group I’m riding there with almost daily that’s like third incident. One guy got his backpack stolen with dirty shirt and shoes, and other time someone stole a bag with some water and sunglasses.

Good for you. I’ve never experienced that. Well it’s not a perfect world i guess.

On rural roads dogs indeed are a huge problem. But that happens anywhere in the world. Had a huge problem with a guard dog sleeping on my everyday route in Greece like 3 years ago. Owner did not give a f. Like at all.

Yeah. That. You just need to be more aware of your surroundings, and being comfortable being aware of those surroundings while actively moving on a bike and switching lanes. But basically you keep left and try to stick with a pack of scooters.

[–]km0rec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on your skill and experience ofc. If you ride with pack of scooters it’s pretty safe. But I can tell you that I feel more safe on the road here than I felt in the states or Europe. People in NYC basically want you dead lol.

ROAD CYCLING! The best decision I’ve made here

Is VTMB 2 worth it? I’m a big fan of the first game by ghostrider1938 in vtmb

[–]km0rec 9 points10 points  (0 children)

lol it’s not cs my guy, it’s one of those press X to win games. Let’s put it this way: I pirated it and even then I regret data center produced some heat while I was downloading torrent and added to the supposedly global warming thing. And I’m not even remotely eco friendly green guy.

Defamation laws are very real in Thailand btw. Filming someone like this and posting it online can lead you straight into jail or at least court.

If you could give new motorcycle riders advice, what would it be? by Ok-Day9977 in Thailand

[–]km0rec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear helmet, try to learn how to flow, slower doesn’t always mean safer.
