The video went viral on social media, and many netizens jokingly commented “Satu” – a form of salutation – after seeing the clip. Moreover, some expressed curiosity about how the motorcycle was running on its own.
At a later time, the uploader revealed that the motorcycle’s throttle was modified and positioned at the sidecar, similar to the throttle lever on the plane – making it look like it could run on its own without a driver, reports Khaosod.

Translation: This must be the supernatural powers from the monk. Amen. LOL
Finally, a guy joked that the monk had superpower to control the sidecar without a need for a driver.
The monk has a cool modified sidecar motorcycle
Honestly, we find it surprising that the monk possesses a cool modified sidecar motorcycle there as this is not a typical situation we usually get to see in our society. More interestingly, he owns it to help him when he goes out to receive offerings from locals.
Hopefully, it helps make it easier for the monk to practice his religious activity in the morning. Anyway, if you like the idea, maybe you can get one for yourself? We’re sure it will come as a big surprise among your friends.
