Common questions on rental process

If may be very hard to find the right way on the road when driving at a high speed, while excessive slowness will be, most likely, noticed by no one.
You will see numerous fans of fast driving on roads of Thailand. Foreign drivers are recommended to stay away from these speed racers. As a rule, these drivers choose the extreme right lane, so it is safer to keep as close to the extreme left lane as possible.
There is one more reason for staying as far away from the curb as possible. Many drivers park their cars on the side of the road, and they have the habit of opening the car’s door unexpectedly, without paying attention to other cars. The suddenly opened car door has even become a frequent cause of serious accidents.
