I've only taken grab bikes in Vietnam where they always have another helmet for the rider. Well , this guy did not. We start going and he's weaving through traffic and gets up to 75 on Sukhumvit while it's still a bit wet. The only thought going through my mind is at least we're headed to a hospital if anything happens.

honestly grab bike drivers here are a mixed bag, some carry a spare helmet but most don't bother. if you're heading to samitivej again, the motorbike taxis at ekkamai bts are way more reliable about helmets and they know that hospital run well. also 75 on wet sukhmvit is wild, those guys are insane with the speed sometimes. i'd just bring your own helmet or take the bts next time, the walk from ekkamai to samitivej is like 5 minutes anyway

Yeah, that's pretty common here unfortunately. Most Grab bike drivers only have the one helmet for themselves, and they'll just assume you're fine without one or that you'd bring your own. I've started keeping a cheap helmet in my bag when I know I'll be taking a bike, or I just stick to using the BTS to Samitivej since it's right next to Ekkamai station anyway. The ride from there is maybe 50 baht on a motorbike taxi and they're usually a bit more careful than Grab drivers.

yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
