I get someone else to drive when possible
I have years of off-road experience from my farming days in Africa and I've done some international touring in Africa and a bit in Europe but these days I don't have a bike and so I don't ride.
Last year, my BG companion rented a bike which I paid for and she drove most of the time. This tended to be short trips during the day time from Karon to Kata and to the view point etc. She would not drink during the day so I could get comfortably innebriated and hold on to her and enjoy the ride. She was very careful and has quite a bit of experience of riding bikes around the area. I felt quite safe.
I came with a current International Driving Permit last year and have a new one for this year but I probably won't do much, if any, driving.
At night time I think the tuk-tuk or taxi is the best option but during the daytime I just love cuddling up tight to my gorgeous little personal chauffer.
MikeGB rightly advises not to use bikes if you don't normally ride.
