The open roads of Thailand beckon -  Taking a Road Trip in Thailand

For us expats we are blessed with an abundance of things to see and do in Thailand and it is very much the spirit of Thaivisa's Expat Explore campaign. We were delighted to receive this post from a fellow Expat in Thailand.

Taking a Road Trip in Thailand is a great way to see this diverse and ever changing country. Distances are quite large but there are always so many interesting sites to see whether they be Temples, Museums, Waterfalls, Hot Springs and animal/elephant sanctuaries and much, much more.

As Thailand now offers a vast array of domestic flights to all provincial cities you can either choose to fly the longer leg and rent a car at your destination or to start from Bangkok! A majority of the highways and main roads are wide and in excellent condition, the further you go into the countryside however, some rural roads are not at their best and some are not even are not paved. The majority however are excellent to drive and you can enjoy the ever changing scenery. There are several peculiarities to driving in Thailand and we will come to these later!

The standards and quality of Rental Cars in Thailand has increase greatly. When you rent from one of the major companies in Bangkok, you will receive a relatively new car, perfectly clean and ready for the road. Our current preference is Europcar as there have highly competitive rates and their location at the Sofitel on Sukhumvit is most convenient.

I do suggest planning your trip in advance rather than just jumping into a car and then deciding where to go. There are some major distances to cover (Bangkok to Chiang Mai 8-9 hours) and most of the major road radiate from the capital.

Driving in Bangkok is relatively challenging with a lot of traffic especially motorcycles, however head to one of the Expressways/Highways(many are elevated) and you will quickly be away from local traffic. Tolls are to be paid so it is always good to have small change, though change can always be given. Set your GPS, get on the Expressway and within an hour you will be leaving the sprawling suburbs of Bangkok.

Thailand drives on the ‘Left’! For some not a problem but even if you are not used to this a slow and steady start will make you more comfortable. Thai drivers are generally courteous but they do tend to hide behind their tinted screens and the method of staring them in the eye to pull out, generally does not work. Indicate in good time and slowly muscle your way into another lane.

The roads are essential to the rural communities in Thailand and even around BKK every second car is a pick-up truck. Many will be laden with pineapples, durian, watermelons and other fruit and vegetables. In fact there is a sort of challenge in Thailand to spot the most overloaded pick-up truck! Some younger drivers have taken to ‘tuning’ their pick-ups, this generally just results in lots of black exhaust but generally the tuned pick-ups are the most obnoxious and dangerous of your fellow road users. Take care.

Trucks of every shape and size are found on the roads bringing raw materials from the ports and manufacturing centres around Bangkok and the finished products back for sale or export. Whilst the quality of trucks on the main routes has improved greatly you will also find a range of older, fume belching vehicles that are adorned with hundreds of mirrors, multiple rows of Michelin men and exhausts the size of dustbins! All adding to the charm and excitement of driving in Thailand!

The general speed limit is 90 kms for cars. You rarely see traffic cops but there are many stationary radar controls and still quite regular police controls. Drive within the limits and drive sensibly and you will normally be saluted through these checks with a smile!

Most road signs are, thankfully in Thai and in English. Road signs are generally good and clear but there are some peculiarities with slip roads that are often necessary to exit. If you miss your exit, don’t worry as the regular u-turns are never far away!

A note of caution about Thai u-turns! Many Thai roads have a central barrier and so the only way to get to travel on the other side is to look for the U-turn. On city streets where the traffic is not so fast this is generally not a problem though you do have to stick your nose out centimetre by centimetre to see when you can turn. Sometimes, as if by some general consensus of opinion, the on-coming traffic slows and stops but this is not so often. So now imagine the U-turn on a fast, busy multi lane highway! All of a sudden, a car or more often a truck will start to pull right and slow to a stop at the u-turn, make certain that you move to a left lane to enable you to continue at your speed.

After a short while you will become used to the give and take of driving in Thailand. Whilst the laws say that you should overtake on the right, local drivers reserve the right to do as they please and you will often see the hard shoulder also being used. Just stay aware of all around you, always watch your mirrors and if you basically expect the un-expected, driving in Thailand will be a pleasure!

So, if you are making a Road Trip, how much should you plan? Really a final destination is all that you require and of course when you should arrive. Try to avoid weekends and especially holidays when half the population is returning home. The roads in and around Bangkok are highways and/or Expressways. Tolls are minimal so they are highly recommended. Once you are out of Bangkok the road will settle down to a 4-6 lane highway. Sights and places of interest are well indicated and just by following the signs a detour will take you to the splendour of a Temple, a refreshing waterfall or even hot springs. These destinations welcome tourists, though, generally there are few facilities. You will however, always find food!

When you are on the highways you will never be far from a Rest Area. These are large petrol stations with cafés, restaurants (Thai food) and of course a convenience store. There are two main, and recommended service areas PTT  and Bangchak (their emblem is a green leaf). In my opinion these are the best offering helpful service, plenty of parking space, adequate toilet facilities and a range of food outlets. PTT always seems to have an Amazon Coffee shop and Bangchak has the better Inthanin Garden chain. So even your coffee on the route can be really pleasurable.

Strangely Western known names (Esso, Chevron) do not offer particularly high standards so generally if you need a break look for Bangchak or PTT. Incidentally with approximately 30% of the vehicles in Thailand running on gas, so there are a lot of LPG only service areas. Unless your vehicle has been converted to gas, it is better to avoid these service areas as the facilities are limited.

Accommodation can be quite limited in rural areas. From personal experience, I drive as far as I can and then look for the next large town. I use the Booking.com App to locate and book my room for the night often arriving just a few minutes after making the reservation!

This article is meant to be a general information on driving and road trips in Thailand, there will be more to follow and naturally if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me!

(Expat Explore) Discover Bang Saen

For us expats we are blessed with an abundance of things to see and do in Thailand and it is very much the spirit of Thaivisa's Expat Explore campaign. We were delighted to receive this review of Bang Saen from a fellow Expat in Thailand.

Living in the urban metropolis of Bangkok one frequently has the urge to ‘escape’ and somewhere near the ocean generally tends to be the first option. It’s a great idea and some of the resorts are not far from the city but the problem is that generally about half of Bangkok’s population of 10 million also has the same idea! This creates havoc on the roads on a Friday afternoon as they leave, and on a Sunday as they return.

Faced with these challenges we considered Hua Hin, (very nice, about 2.5 hours away but only one road back), and Pattaya. 

Bang Saen was actually chosen by mistake, but it proved to be a favourable one! Journey time from Sukhumvit just 1 hour 25 mins and no traffic either there or back! On the journey down we used the Motorway route(it has the advantage of an excellent services area with a vast choice of food), and the elevated Expressway for the return. Road tolls (THB.105) are the same for both.

Bang Saen is one of the closest seaside resorts to greater Bangkok but it still retains a ‘sleepy seaside’ atmosphere(until the crowds arrive!). Bang Saen seems to have it’s priorities well organised when it comes to construction, there are no dominating sky scrapers and the highest buildings seem to be limited to 6 or 7 floors.

I had booked an apartment through Booking.com, I always use this App as I like the description, accurate location and good pricing. I won’t mention the specific apartment as it was from a private owner but it seems to be indicative of the choice in the area. There are many small hotels and individual apartments offered on Booking.com and this is simply the easiest way to book.

We were located in the non-commercial area towards the harbour. Here the beach space is limited but so also are the number of parking space, so less people. Thais arrive here, park up and enjoy their picnic on the beachfront. A nice happy and familiar atmosphere. There are some small café’s for the afternoon, one or two bars and lots of vendors selling food and drinks. Simple and easy.

In the evening head towards the main roundabout as this is the more commercial area. Here on the beach road you will find several large establishments. Most offer food and live music, however with the Covid situation this is scaled back. The establishments are rather ‘grand’ in a simple way. For example Scala Bar is a massive establishment with indoor and outdoor seating. Grand design, impressive bar decorations and a range of seating options. Food here is very traditionally Thai but there is a menu in English. All the dishes that we tried were well presented and most enjoyable and the prices very reasonable. This is the type of place that simple Thais will come for an evening of ‘extravagance’. All parties either order a tower of beer or a bottle of whisky with mixers. The prices are reasonable and they can enjoy their evening. Live music used to continue through the evening with the bands changing regularly, however we are not sure when this will return.

Saturday morning saw quite a change to Bang Sean as the hordes were descending from Bangkok. The area to the right of the main roundabout is so typical of Thai seaside towns within close reach of Bangkok. It’s well laid out with parking spaces, a promenade and the typical swathe of umbrellas defeating even the smallest of sun rays (Thais don’t like to be in the sun). Rows of deckchairs and ordered like soldiers on parade. Towards the seafront are spaces of parties of 8, further back for 4 people. You have to pay for this privilege and Thb.120 secures you 4 chairs and a rickety table. Vendors descended like mosquitoes with every type of food you can imagine, toys for the kids, tattoos and of course massage. It’s a real Thai experience and good luck to the foreigners who try to fit in these undersized deck chairs!

Despite the busy weekend, there was plenty of space for everyone. I must be turning Thai as I did not venture out from the protective coverage of the umbrellas until a massive storm threatened to remove anything that was not tied down.

To surmise, If you want to get out of Bangkok for a couple of days and spend time by the ocean without the traffic congestion, then Bang Saen is to be recommended. Don’t expect much atmosphere or even seaside restaurants, just a cheap and easy getaway from Bangkok.

Please remember that there is No Smoking on any Thai beaches and this is largely enforced.

In these post Covid times situations are changing rapidly. Whilst alcohol sales are now allowed with food in restaurants, bars are not yet open. For up to date information the Tourist Hotline on 1672 is able to provide reliable information in English.
