Found a shop in Pattaya (Thanon Pattaya Tai at the intersection to Soi Bongkhot) that sells actually a nice selection of helmets. I assume that none of the helmets sold are DOT approved. As is the "Real Ozzy" also not DOT approved.

But it is a nice helmet, gives me some more are and has 2 visor's. One for at night and one for in the sun. And I can put on/off the helmet while wearing by glasses.

The fact that it gives more are also is a disadvantage on the bigger road as you will get more dirt in your face (even with the visor down).

And I would not recomend the helmet for driving faster as 120km/h as it very noice and catches a lot of wind turbulence.

But it is only 1800thb and not prices like 10.000thb for a good DOT approved helmet. Although on the long run I might go for a better helmet, which I will probably buy when I am back in Europe at the end of the year (much more choice and cheaper).

Although yesterday I saw a guy on a Kawa or Yam at a intersection in Patters wearing a great looking helmet in almost the same design as the Real Ozzy but it did looked like a much better helmet. Could not see the brandname, should have asked.

Hi Changnoi,

If you want to be sure about the safety of your helmet, please visit sharp.direct.gov.uk/

It is a UK government website which test every helmet of every brand, it is not a sponsored link, so have a look ! and that might help you to buy the right helmet for yourself.

Best regards
