About Renting a Car in Thailand
Thailand's road network is among the best in Southeast Asia, making self-drive travel practical and rewarding. Rent a car in Bangkok to escape into the countryside, explore the Chiang Mai region's mountain loops, or cruise Phuket and the Andaman coast independently. Remember: Thais drive on the left, so if you're coming from a right-hand-traffic country, allow some adjustment time.

- Chiang Mai temples & trekking
- Phuket beaches
- Ayutthaya ruins

November–April for most regions (dry season); June–October for northern mountains
- Drive on the LEFT in Thailand
