Don't Book a Car in Thailand Until You Watch This

We rented a car in Thailand for 7 days and drove over 1,000 kilometres. Here's everything we wished we knew before we started. Driving in Thailand sounds intimidating. But what if we told you there are zero tolls, free parking at every tourist spot, and roads so clear outside Bangkok that you'll wonder why everyone takes the bus? This is our complete honest guide to renting and driving a car in Thailand — from picking it up at Don Mueang Airport, to the full inspection process, fuel types, speed limits, what happens if you get a speeding ticket, and exactly how to return the car without losing your deposit. We booked everything through Trip.com and the link is below for you.
