Thai thrill-seekers turn heads with illegal jet ski scooters on public road in Bangkok (video)
Four Thai men admitted to engaging in an illegal activity by fabricating jet ski scooters and riding them on a road in Pathum Thani province near Bangkok. They made known that they would visit a police station to pay fines for their indiscretion today, November 28.
A video shared on a Facebook account captured the scene of the four Thai men riding four jet skis on Som Sang road in the Bang Poon sub-district of Prathum Thani province. The footage depicted the four men navigating red jet skis along the road, accompanied by a motorcycle and a pickup truck.
The handles of the jet skis indicate that they were adapted from motorcycles, creating a curious motorcycle-jet ski hybrid. The video’s caption emphasized the safety of both the riders and other motorists on the road.
However, netizens raised questions about the legality of the activity, noting that the jet ski scooters appeared to be modified from motorcycles. Additionally, concerns were raised as none of the riders were observed wearing helmets during their journey.
While others were negative about the scooters, some saw the modification as a creative idea and unique.
After the video went viral on social media, Channel 7 contacted the people in the video to ask them more about the issue. One of the riders revealed to the media that he was the owner of a garage in the area and that modifying old motorcycles was his hobby.
Illegally modified vehicle
The man admitted that what he and his friends were doing in the video was illegal and that he was willing to pay a fine for the act. He and his friends planned to visit Pak Khlong Rangsit Police Station today to pay the fine.
Using an illegally modified vehicle and using a vehicle in an unstable or dangerous condition that may harm other motorists on the public road is against Section 134/2 and Section 6 of the Land Transportation Act. Motorists who violate the laws will be fined between 500 and 2,000 baht depending on the case.
