No visit to thailand 's islands is complete without hiring a moped .
不租一辆机器脚踏车,到泰国的旅游就不算完整。
Until recently the most common tourist injuries were a coconut-related head injury or sunburn and then the mighty moped arrived .
直到最近为止,最常见的游客伤害是椰子掉落砸伤头部,或者是阳光灼伤,然后再是无所不能的机器脚踏车。
By mid afternoon I am defying the most basic of health and safety guidelines , zooming around on an uninsured moped with a plastic bag full of party explosives strapped to my back .
