A favourite destination for Malaysian bikers is Thailand, as can be seen from the large numbers of riders crossing the border every weekend and during the holidays.
However, a new ruling by the Thai authorities might put a damper on things, especially for riders wanting to spend time in forest reserves across the border.
Quoting a statement from department chief Thanya Netithammakun of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department, the Bangkok Post reported that the restriction on large displacement motorcycles follows a ban on the consumption of alcohol in parks.
This is in addition to no smoking signs being placed in park entrance areas as well as car parks under its jurisdiction.
