Motorcycles may only be ridden from sunrise to sunset. Only in the case of late arrival may Pattaya Motorcycle Tours motorcycles be ridden, and at reduced speed to reach the next destination. When rainfall occurs speed must be reduced to a sensible safe wet road surface handling speed based on the rider's skill until the nearest shelter is reached.
