"Hostel Backpackers" Thailand motorcycle rental episode

[douro20]

There have been cases where rental operators were "stealing" rented motorcycles in the middle of the night and charging people for the motorcycles which were allegedly stolen.

Don't trust anyone with a name like Farquhar!! Daddy paid for that.

huh?

[irnieracing]

at the time, the 150cc 2 stroke was 300baht per day. The scooters are often 150 baht per day. Not sure about renting, and dropping off in another location. Shops also rent full sized street bikes, and dirtbikes. In Laos, I think you can rent a bike, and drop off somewhere else.

[123skunkyboy]

how much does it cost to rent a bike over there? and can u pick up in one place and drop it off in a different town?

[elbowdown]

haha great comments.

[rrrconserve]

Fun video, I dug it.

[heheLOL1]

LOL... strong tobacco??

[fnaaar]

Hahaha rental bike abuse! I like it. I rented a Yamaha Fino scooter the other day in Pattaya because it was the gayest thing I could find (apart from a chopper. Note to guys who rent those: You look like tools.) and took it off-roading. But it was so shit that I changed it for a Honda Wave the next day and went around annoying the twats who rent 1000cc sportsbikes and then wobble around slowly with their skinny little buck-toothed hooker girlfriends on the back. Nice!

[AndrewKFletcher]

The area certainly looks like semi-desert scrubland. My son was teaching English in Thailand when the Tsunami hit, fortunately he was away from the dangerzone, he spent 18 months out there and loved it. Last time he went out there he was robbed by two Thai guys who put a gun to his head. So I guess he is not in a hurry to go back again.

Most of the people in Thailand ore very nice people and trustworthy.

[DonkeyTimer]

cool

[meloncoly]

what were you smoking?

[bapyou]

Allright, man. Don't mean to be technical about what is or is not a desert, buuuut, technically speaking, Thailand has no desert within its borders. If you were there during the dry season it may haved seemed that way. Unless global warming really kicks in! Then it might become one. There seems to be a connection between deforestation and decreased rainfall in Thailand.

[bapyou]

Dude:  There is no desert in Thailand.

[irnieracing]

haha well, some areas certainly felt like a desert. Really hot, with sand everywhere. Great for offroading, similar to Dakar environment.

it is Kanchanaburi provinence

[hostlead]

Ok, but where in Thailand. I'm sure there are quite a few roads near rivers. What band/song is this? I like it.

[hostlead]

Where did you rent the bike? (what rental shop)

[elbowdown]

hard to explain... on the road near the river. Their is a "BIKE Rentail" sign, and he only has one 150cc 2stroke. He also rents red scooters, and I think the company sticker is somewhere in the video.
