morgan on bike

Here’s something interesting. I only just found out, my friend Morgan is riding around Bangkok on a motorbike she recently acquired. She’s probably the only farang (foreigner) lady who is doing this in Bangkok. I have not encountered anyone else. I think she’s really brave to venture out on a motorbike in this city. Although it might not be the safest thing to do, I guess she’s able to weave around traffic and get to places quicker. Morgan told me that acquiring the bike was part of fulfilling a lifelong dream that she’s had. She claims, it’s not just a cost effective way to get around the city, it also gives her a strong sense of freedom.
