Why do Thais drive so hard?

<> many people think that Thai people speak softly, and always smile, as if they have no temper, in fact, it is because your stay in Thailand is too short, according to my experience in Thailand in the past few years, Thai people feel like driving:

1. Thais drive according to the rules.

Bangkok's roads are narrow, alleys are predominant, and often the width of one lane in Thailand is more than two cars in parallel. Thais drive relatively well-behaved, few honk their horns, and cars stop in front of them and wait quietly in the back. When a pedestrian crosses the street, they will stop and wait for you to pass before walking.

However, there are also unruly ones, who go against the law and do not avoid pedestrians, but I have not encountered many of them.

Second, the taxi driver has a lot of character.

Thai people are actually quite temperamental, especially taxi drivers, which may be a characteristic of the industry. It is said that some drivers still carry guns, and some friends have met them, but fortunately I haven't seen them.

Taxi drivers usually drive very fast, and once my son almost hit the front seat when he drove so hard that he only slowed down when he was asked to.

Some drivers don't like you to show them the way, I have a friend who once asked the driver to take another road, and the driver immediately stopped on the side of the road and asked them to get off immediately, and the taxi fare is not required, very characterful.

However, visitors are in Bangkok for a short time and are likely to see a bit friendlier.

3. Thailand, especially Bangkok, has narrow roads, and motorcycles pass through it, which is prone to scratch accidents. However, it is not uncommon to see some strange vehicles: the steel plates are locked between them; There are also staple buttons, or stickers glued, which is very funny.

OK. After completing the entry and exit procedures for international vehicles, you can drive to Thailand. In addition, foreign vehicles are generally not allowed to stay in Thailand for more than 30 days. Violators will be fined 1,000 baht per day and up to a maximum of 10,000 baht.

1. Entry procedures and materials.

1. Present your valid passport, visa to Thailand, legal and valid driver's license and vehicle registration handbook at the port of entry at the Thai Customs for formalities. The customs will review the materials, print the "Simplified Customs Declaration Form" on the spot, keep the original, and return the copy to the applicant.

2. Then take your valid passport, visa to Thailand, and a copy of the "Vehicle Entry and Exit Declaration Form" to the Thai Immigration Bureau (the same office as the customs) to go through the formalities, and fill in the "Departure &Arrival Card", "Vehicle Information Form" (Information of Conveyance TM2), and "Passenger Information Form (Passenger List TM3)".

The immigration bureau shall stamp the applicant's passport, exit card and TM2 form, staple the exit card on the visa page of the passport, and keep the original copy of the arrival card, TM2 and TM3 forms, and return the copies to the applicant.

2. Exit procedures and materials.

In Thailand, you will drive on the right hand and left, and there are no traffic lights at some intersections, so be sure to slow down and drive cautiously. In the event of an accident, immediately call the local local police **191, ambulance 1669 or 1691 in Thailand.

Things to know when driving in Thailand:

To drive in Thailand (including motorcycles), you must have an International Driver's Permit or a local Thai driver's license. Driving in Thailand with only a Chinese driver's license is not protected by Thai law, and in the event of a liability accident, you will bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities. To apply for a Thai driver's license, you must hold the right of abode in Thailand (long-term or short-term residence, except for those with a visa on arrival and a tourist visa).

Renting a car in Thailand also requires an International Driver's Permit or a local driver's license for those who wish to rent a car in Thailand. Officially operated car rental companies in Thailand cover the cost of insuring the vehicle. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your rental before renting a car to make sure your insurance is valid. <>
