The incident reportedly occurred near South Pattaya Intersection, with the motorcyclist continuing his high-speed antics for 2 to 3 kilometres. Mr M (alias), a 20 year old who recorded the clip, told reporters from The Pattaya News that he was on his way home when he spotted the dangerous manoeuvre.

“I found it very unusual and dangerous, so I decided to record it. I urge others not to imitate such behaviour—it could cause serious accidents.”

The video has sparked a wave of online outrage, with netizens slamming the rider’s reckless behaviour. Many called for stricter road safety enforcement in Pattaya, a city known for its chaotic traffic and frequent road accidents.

As of press time, it remains unclear whether police are aware of the footage or plan to take action. However, the video continues to make rounds on social media, serving as a stark reminder of the dangers of irresponsible driving, reported The Pattaya News.

While many were entertained by the rider’s audacity, others warned of the potential consequences for both the stunt performer and innocent road users. Pattaya’s roads may be chaotic, but stunts like these risk making them outright deadly.
