I miss a lot of things about our pre-COVID days, and one is the foreign travel. I love heading to exotic cities all over the world, and one at the top of my list is Bangkok. I’ve been there a few times on assorted secret missions. These photos are from a blog I wrote for CSC Motorcycles a few years ago, and I thought I would share them here.
Soi Cowboy (“soi” sort of means street) is a famous Bangkok road that played a role in the movie Hangover II and another movie named, well, Soi Cowboy (a movie I haven’t seen, although I’ll look for it). It’s sort of an entertainment district with a lot of clubs. There were a lot of photo ops centered on two of my interests – food and two-wheeled transportation. With that as an intro, here we go.
One more thing, and that’s a video I shot just off Soi Cowboy showing the scooter action in vibrant downtown Bangkok. It sure was fun.

Oh wow! that video – it looks like chaos, but it is actually more like a fractal. Repeating patterns and variations on the patterns, and NO collisions or even bumps. Live and let live. Amazing1 Was that a movie theater or an amusement arcade there on the right?
Dan, I can’t remember. I need to watch it again.
Dan N, “fractal”, I like it.
Dan is an eloquent man.
I lived there 14 years and traveled all over on mt CRF250L. Love the countryside and the people. Now Mexico reminds me of Thai in many ways.
Thanks for commenting, Rick.
Phuket is the moto Mecca of Thailand.
God bless MadDogs MC Thailand!
