点评:TL;DR: Came to sort out my driving license, learned how to actually ride, discovered Gymkhana, made some outstanding friends, and somehow ended up becoming part of the community. About to attend my third Gymkhana now. That probably says enough.
It was the year 2025. I was in Phuket and really wanted to approach riding a scooter properly. I had never ridden any bike before, neither a scooter nor a big bike, and I did not have a license either. Considering Phuket is not exactly the calmest place in the world to learn how to ride, I strongly believe it is a must to have a license and insurance, and, quite obviously, an actual ability to ride a bike.
A good friend of mine told me that Customgarage organise a driving license course together with Honda Safety Riding Center Phuket. I was probably the happiest person on Earth when I realised I could learn how to ride a scooter properly in a three-day intensive course, pass both the theory and practical tests, and, upon completion, receive a certificate recognised by the DLT for the issuance of a driving license.
No surprise I stayed close to the guys after that. Not even mentioning that I made some outstanding friends during this journey, something I am extremely grateful for.
And the driving license course was not everything the guys were doing with Honda Safety Riding Center. There was also Gymkhana!
So, my story compressed: came to sort out my driving license, learned how to ride properly, discovered Gymkhana, made friends, and stayed for the spirit, the people, and the community. I am now about to attend my third Gymkhana.
Is it worth mentioning that the bikes are great? Of course they are.

翻译:简而言之:我原本是去办理驾驶执照的,结果却学会了如何真正骑车,还接触到了Gymkhana文化,交到了一些很棒的朋友,最后不知怎的也成了这个社群的一员。现在我即将参加第三次Gymkhana活动了。这些应该就足以说明一切了。
那是2025年。我当时在普吉岛,一心想好好学习如何骑踏板车。我以前从未骑过任何摩托车,无论是踏板车还是大型摩托车,而且也没有驾照。考虑到普吉岛并非一个适合学习骑车的宁静之地,我坚信持有驾照和保险是必不可少的,当然,具备实际的骑车能力也同样重要。
我的一位好友告诉我,Customgarage会与普吉岛本田安全骑行中心联合举办驾照培训课程。当我意识到自己可以参加一个为期三天的密集课程来学习如何正确骑踏板车时,我简直开心得不得了。通过理论考试和实操考试后,完成课程即可获得由交通局认可的、可用于申领驾驶证的证书。
也难怪之后我一直和那些伙计们形影不离。更不用说在这段旅程中我还结交了一些非常要好的朋友,对此我心怀无限感激。
而驾驶课程并非那些伙计们在本田安全驾驶中心做的全部事情。还有竞技赛车活动呢!
所以,。我的经历简述:本来是来办理驾照的,结果学会了如何正确骑行,还发现了Gymkhana这项活动;在那里结交了朋友,也因为那里的氛围、人和社群而留了下来。如今我即将参加第三届Gymkhana活动。
顺便提一句,那些摩托车真的很棒吧?当然了。
