Decided to use my legs today, and walked the 12 km or so from my bungalow near Thong Sala (south west) to Haad Rin (south east). Nice walk but the heat was intense so decided to get a moped taxi back. Ran into another reason why, especially on Phangan, hiring a bike can be a bad move! Shit I’ve only been here a little over a month and already I’ve witnessed 2 accidents and seen the results of numerous others!
Arguably taking photos of the accident is in poor taste, but I wanted to share the reality of what can and does happen all too often over here and usually only to farang!
