i used to do it on 249 cc with my R25, only until Betong.

and i highly discourage especially if you're one who rides on the edge - the engine just couldn't take prolonged heat and abuse.

riding on the edge means revving near to redline ? or riding without stops in-between ?

Near? I mentioned on edge, right?
Pinging rpm limiter 14500 on 6 gear top speed 19x+ km/h

Ride until fuel nearing empty only stop, but of course when needing to stop, need 30+ minutes to cool down lap.

It didn't end well for the engine needless to say.

And don't speed on Thai roads even though looks clear and no traffic.

Beside it slippery even during dry.

Those siamese speed trap cameras are autonomous these days, no more manual tembak like in Malaysia.

Speeding summon, 500 bht pay on the spot.

Those who are riding in, please note Thais ride very slowly and at speeds we are not accustomed to. The roads are also slippery when wet, with speed limits down to 30 kmh.

I'll add in: slippery even on fully sunny day dry.

Their road LOOKS smooth, but it isn't grippy for tires. More rubbery content than small stones/pebbles for tires to adhere towards.

So those Twisties after customs towards Betong town, totally not advisable to speed/have fun. It'll quickly turn into brown pants moments or touch wood outright crash.
