Are bicycle riders required (and enforced) to wear a helment in Pattaya?

 

As far as i know there is know enforcement of helmets for Cyclists.I always wear a helmet and offer them to the Cycle group.We have passed many Policemen without a helmet, and never been stopped. nobo

Are bicycle riders required (and enforced) to wear a helment in Pattaya?No.There are helmets avaliable when we go out as a club.But its upto each individual if he wants to wear it.

Thanks Thaiempire. I do a fair amount of cycling when home in England to help keep fit. I miss it during my regular trips to Pats, although there are compensations. I will try and make it Monday29 November for a ride with you.

I went to Jomtien yesterday intending to join the ride, but I just couldnt find the venue. Mentioned earler was Jomtien Condominium at the junction of the Beach Road and Soi 11. I couldnt see a Sports Bar there and nobody I asked knew about a bike shop. What does the Jomtien Condo look like ?. Can you give me precise directions for next time. Maybe I'm a bit slow !.
