"riding"

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration threatened Wednesday to slap a Bt3,000 fine on motorcyclists who are caught repeatedly violating the ban on riding on sidewalks.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has instructed its officials to enforce higher fines for motorcyclists who ride and park on sidewalks starting next month.

Police on Friday denied that a military general was involved in recent settlement negotiations between a 55-year-old pedestrian and a young motorcyclist who knocked him down on a footpath in Bangkok.

A 76-year-old man was trapped by a cable while riding his motorcycle on a Chumphon road and was stabbed to death and his gold necklace and amulet worth Bt300,000 were robbed on Wednesday morning.
