I rented a car in Bangkok and I'm worried that I won't be used to driving on the right-hand side. I'm not sure if I can drive it away. I want to ask everyone what I should pay attention to? Will I be stopped by the traffic police ?

Start slowly and get used to it. The police won't stop you if you don't violate the law.

Generally not, must abide by traffic rules, prepare documents, if encountered police trouble, quickly give money and leave

Drive slowly and follow the rules, and you'll be fine.

Hello everyone, how do you handle navigation when driving? I bought a 7-day Happy Card (network traffic seems to be unlimited), and I want to pair it with the Google Map app. But I'm a little worried that the network traffic of the Thai Happy Card won't be powerful enough. I want to rent a Wi-Fi egg (do you have any suggestions for Wi-Fi eggs that are powerful? ) I saw a very powerful Wi-Fi egg on Taobao before, but after asking, it has a daily traffic limit of 500MB and cannot be used at high speeds. It doesn't seem very ideal ? Thailand Q&A

Is it necessary to rent a car in Bangkok? I see that many scenic spots are in Bangkok, unless you go to nearby places. It's a bit far to drive to Chiang Mai and Phuket. I wonder if there are any worthwhile places to rent a car around Bangkok. If they are all in Bangkok city, it's better to take a taxi or something. What do you think? Also, are there any plans to go on the 7th of next month? Hahaha, I'm going on the 7th of next month ? Thailand Q&A
