Traffic peculiarities in Thailand
Thailand is a left-hand drive country. We recommend renting a car with an automatic transmission for ease of driving, even if you drive a manual at home. Follow local traffic rules to avoid fines for violations.
Parking lots and fuel
Pay attention to parking regulations in major cities and use only authorized spaces to avoid fines. Gasoline, diesel and economical gasohol are available at gas stations. The quality of fuel can significantly affect the performance of the vehicle, so we recommend using only high quality fuel.
