Speedbumps in Thailand

Speedbumps

One of the unfortunate imports from the west that Thailand uses for certain suburban areas. You can't get away from these things if you go roaming certain areas. In places the builders of them might, out of sympathy, cut a slot for bikers to pass through unimpeded but usually you can only attempt to go around them (if there is room) or slow down and ride over it.

They vary from the mild and gentle:

To the more annoying:

Rubber plastic bump

To the downright brutal and near-invisible. Make no mistake this type will send you flying if you aren't aware of it!

Concrete speed bump
