Anyone got a quick answer on why 90% of the cars are right hand drive but they drive on the right hand side of the road?

[Kwasaki]

My first question why does this happen.  because of occupation of the English.

 

" but they drive on the right hand side of the road? "

 

Maybe quote should read   " they drive on the right side of the road. "

One of the previous dictators of Burma decided after consulting astrologers and diviners, that only communists drive on the left. True.

Is it even possible to drive from Thailand to Yangon?

They're predominantly used Japanese imports due to price and a leaking border between Thailand and Myanmar although changes are afoot right now and they'll gradually change to all LHD cars in due course. New cars are required to be LHD,

only in insignificant countries, especially remote islands, one drives on the left (wrong) side of the road.

Oooh how very dare you. Any more of that and I will challenge you to handbags and powder puffs at 3 paces.

Anyway it should be incorrect side.
