Do NOT think it cannot happen to you.
If you have never driven in a foreign country, specially motorbikes, Thailand is not the place for your first go.
Whether driving yourself, rental mini-vans, overland buses, motorbikes, accidents do and will occur in Thailand.
This is due to a myriad of reasons including poorly trained drivers, uneducated drivers, selfish drivers, over-worked drivers, commercial drivers on drugs, poor road conditions, etc.
The most common cause of accidents is driver behavior’s such as lack of discipline, speeding, negligence or drunk driving.
Be aware at all times that driving in Thailand is third world and accidents can occur anywhere.
