How to recognise Thailand from the road
Drives on the left
Rice fields, spirit houses and a script of loops and curls. Thailand drives on the left, unlike most of its neighbours.
What to look for
1
Traffic on the left
Thailand drives on the left, while Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar drive on the right.
2
Thai script
Thai letters are rounded with small loops, quite unlike neighbouring scripts.
3
Spirit houses
Small ornate shrines on posts stand outside homes and businesses.
4
Striped kerbs
Kerbs are often painted in red and white or yellow and white stripes.
