I never hire a motor bike in thailad always a jeep.
Nearly all of the time a take a tuk tuk at end of the night, but when i went with nicke to a late night karoke bar in november me and my mate got a motor bike taxi to the hotel at end of night. we saw them drinking some beer when we wanted to go home and said to each other do we want to use them but it was 4-5am and there was no one else so we had to use them and we got on separte ones.
To say the least it was the most dangerous ride i've been on and i sobered up pretty quick, I nearly had to punch him to slow down, lucky we made it back to out hotel in one piece but never again on a motor bike late at night. for that each 80 baht ( 0ne pound) i rather take a tuk tuk.
as for other people taking motor bike taxis you just do not know if they have been drinking all night or there on something and it just taking your life in there hands because one mistake by them and your under some cars wheels.
everyone says tuk tuk are expensive and a rip off, i do agree in the day time but night time much more safer.100 baht a ride = £ 1.20 not much for getting back to hotel in one piece.
