Limited road\u00a0animals.<\/strong> \u00a0While sad for the planet, Thailands is very low on most western road kill\u00a0candidates. \u00a0No need to watch out for critters like\u00a0opossums\u00a0 skunks, beavers or\u00a0raccoons. \u00a0While dear seem to roam north america freely,<\/p>\n

\"curvyroad\"Great quality of roads.<\/strong> The tarmac thru out thailand is quite good, and northern areas can be quite quiet at times.<\/p>\n

Open property mentality.<\/strong> \u00a0This applies more to hill tribe areas, but many Thai farmers don’t fully own the land they farm and have a more open mentality. \u00a0The complete\u00a0opposite\u00a0of a Texas “If your’re on my property I’ll shoot you” mentality.<\/p>\n

Ease of bike rental.<\/strong> \u00a0Thanks to\u00a0Kawasaki\u00a0and now Honda and Ducati, a good range of made in Thailand bikes are not available. \u00a0Besides these 125cc scooters are rentable in any major tourist town.<\/p>\n
