There is a duty to wear helmet on Motorbikes in Bangkok, even if you see many Motorbike Taxis on the streets where the passengers do not wear a helmet, the drivers usually do it.

Motorbike Taxi drivers are easy to recognize, they wear an orange vest, on which usually a number and the driver's license are attached. It is just as easy to drive a Motorbike Taxi. Either you go to the next collection point, where already several drivers are waiting, or passengers wait and you can quickly see where that is, when one passenger after the other relatively quickly ascends to a Motorbike Taxi. You can also stand on the side of the road and wave a Motorbike Taxi. Similar to the Tuk Tuk, a small hand movement is enough with the flat hand. Nevertheless, it happens that not every driver stops anyway.
