Every
year, thousands of tourists come to our country and rent
motorcycles and cars. This is actually easier to do than
you think. But, please prepare yourself well if you intend
to drive on our roads. When I was in Phuket a few years
ago I twice passed foreigners who had crashed their motorcycles.
None of them were wearing helmets and both just shorts
and t-shirts. When driving around you will see a lot of
sign in English and Thai (see Photo
Album) and others are really obvious what they mean.
You can even by maps which are printed in both languages.
