Motorcyclists are brazenly flouting the law after a recent picture on the Facebook site of JS 100 Radio showed a ‘traffic jam’ on the footpath at Lat Prao Soi 101 in Bangkok.

Pedestrians were unable to get through as the motorcycles crowded the walkways, according to the post.

Daily News was slamming the riders for their behaviour. Comments responding to the pictures saying that vendors had been cleared from the capital’s sidewalks only for motorcycles to increasingly take over and bring more headaches to pedestrians.

Some even complained about police seen riding on the sidewalks of Bangkok as well as going the wrong way against traffic.
