why didnt you ask chatgpt if it bothers you so much:
In Thailand, when both directions have a green light, the driver who is turning right has the right of way over the driver who is turning left across oncoming traffic.
However, let's break it down clearly:
Driver turning left (across traffic from the opposite direction) must yield to:
Oncoming vehicles going straight, and
Oncoming vehicles turning right.
This is because a vehicle turning left must cross the path of oncoming traffic, while a vehicle turning right generally turns into the near lane, not crossing paths.
✅ So in Thailand, the driver turning right has the right of way, and the driver turning left must wait until it is safe.
That said, local driving habits can be unpredictable, so always drive cautiously even when you technically have the right of way.
