Looks like riding a bike at night from Patong is not longer safe !! Been aware of the situation on the hills to Kamala for the last couple of years,but in january the MIB also arrested a gang of youths who`s been operating in the hills from Chalong to Kata..armed with both knives and guns
!!
And I didn`t feel comfortable riding the bike at nightime from Chalong to Phuket Town at night this year either....som real dodgy characters approached and decided to ride alongside for a few minutes to suss me out...happened 3 times on the same night,different guys and all riding pillion
