It has been over 20 years since I have been ridding bikes except in the village to the store and back on a scooter. This time home I am buying a big bike and would like to take a Safety training class. I have looked in through the forum and found the mention of Honda but now way to contact them for scheduling a class and signing up. I did see some one posting the prices that was nice to know.
Also I wanted to know if they have english instructors.
I have Googled it and all I can find is the news release on the Honda facility but no contact info.
If anyone knows of something better let me know.

Another option is http://www.highsidetours.com/ at Bira Race Circuit near Pattaya which is more racing oriented and courses are in English, probably not what you are interested in but should sharpen up your skills for the road!

Did you end up sorting out your international licence or did you get a Thai one?

I have my international drivers license now just got it monday. I will be in Thailand Oct. 25th and should have my bike by the 30th. I am still undecided on what I will get. The Bummer is that my work has talked me into another contract for 1 more year in Iraq. I will only be able to stay home for 4 weeks then gone again. So trying to wait 2 months will not work.

Attached you find the brochure from Honda for the Safety Riding Classes, it's in Thai, but maybe you have somebody who can explain / translate.

Do you know if they offer motorcycle lesson in English, at the Honda Riding school?

THanks!

No. I believe that all Honda motorcycle lessons are in Thai language. Sometimes there is a girl who can speak just enough English to understand what is happening.
