Thailand's BIZARRE Road Etiquette EXPLAINED!

[@andrewgarrettson1140]

I think I've discovered that I like when you do these road safety videos. I loved the helmet video, too. This is EXTREMELY helpful and insightful. I've lived here since January, have ridden street bikes for over 30 years, was a professional truck driver and stick shift driving instructor in the U.S. But I find it incredibly daunting to drive in Bangkok. Nearly every point you've covered is counterintuitive to my experience. I've done more driving outside the city, but only occasionally since I've been here. Thanks for this. Keep up the great work, Adam. You're my new #1 Thailand YTer for expats. I've been following Paddy and Chris Parker for a long time but they've slowed down a lot. I find your content very valuable. Maybe we can connect in person some time.

[@streetfoodmagic2024]

Mate, thats a bloody excellent video!!!! After spending a tonne of time in Thailand its easy to overlook the crazy differences between our western road rules and their Étiqutte System' that seems to work quite well. Really good to point out the cultural side of the 'Beeping' etiquette as it very different in Vietnam. Beeping is a safety/ courtesy over there and most foreigners just dont understand it. Nice job buddy!

[@marcussthehippyindisguise9147]

Excellent description.... a mix of curtsey and assertiveness, I love driving their.... it's like go-karting... fast for a minute then slow and watching out for everything and anything. Scooters at night going ever which way with no lights on, going flat out ...

[@paulmanning9540]

The beeping used to be a thing, certainly in Bangkok. I remember our first trip in 2002 and there was lots of constant beeping on the way into BKK. It seemed to just disappear over the years. Very happy about. I have been to Ho Chi Minh City 😮 omg.

[@andywarne963]

Definitely used to be a thing, and thankfully no longer. Also over the years the number or total maniacs who weave across lanes at twice the speed of everyone else has vastly declined.

[@tbjdiamonddog]

Been driving my Vespa here over 6 months, even I learned a few things, your right nobody beeps their horn, it’s lovely cheers

[@Pointern]

Ive been in bangkok for a week now, the bikes are nuts here. I did a bike grab and never again. The speed, the weaving in traffic, the no helmet and security risk is just too crazy

[@pavinder]

Great summary of Thai road etiquette. Seems chaotic but is actually in some ways quite respectful and common-sense - so different from the general aggression of Australian drivers! Here in Japan the etiquette is completely different too: incredibly safe with drivers super-cautious about everything, driving slowly, giving wide clearance, often giving way even when they have right of way - the aim is consideration and safety above all else.

[@keisone]

Japan is the most amazing country to drive in.. I loved it there

[@keithd1219]

Fantastic informative video. Unfortunately, I learned all of this by driving around there and had numerous close calls that were unforgettable learning tools. This should be a compulsory video for all foreigners to watch before renting any mode of transportation in Thailand.

[@Ozthai124]

Coming from Oz, I learnt along the way. I've done 65000k in Thailand over 3 years. I concur with everything you've said. However, I've learnt very short beeps' on the horn is acceptable to warn other vehicles getting too close. When approaching busy intersections without traffic lights my Thai partner taught me to...slow and go. There's also a hierarchy when giving way in this order of priority sadly: 1. Trucks and Buses 2. BMW's, Mercs, and European Exotics (no turnings indicators required ) 3. Large utes and Suv's 4. Small and medium cars 5. Motorbikes 6.Bicycles 7.Pedestrians and Soi dogs Another tip...ignore speed limits (within reason) and keep up or down with the flow of traffic. 🤞🤞

[@keisone]

The merc’s and BMW’s are the worst here.. It’s the Kerry express and lineman delivery guys that are the craziest

[@thomasridenour277]

I have lived here for many years. During my working life, I was co-owner of a transportation safety consultant specializing in accident analysis in the USA. It took me a while to realize that there are very few stop sings or yield signs in Thailand. The reasons are obvious. First, expense and maintenance and second, the Thais would ignore them anyway.

[@cheniel4605]

I dread roundabouts in Thailand. The official rules are the same as back home but as you said they often give way to those coming on. I got rear ended a couple of months ago as I had to stop quickly as someone cut me off joining quickly when I was on the roundabout already. They follow the rules enough of the time that it makes it very unpredictable. Also yeah the signs for when you can and cannot turn left are usually in Thai even in Bangkok and Chiang Mai so I don't suppose most tourists will be able to tell.

[@keisone]

Round abouts are a nightmare here, thankfully there isn’t too many of them!

[@SABAI15]

Great video mate. It's the wild west on the roads here. But as you said, once you get used to the way it works here it's not too bad. I was gonna make a similar video, well ill just wait a month or so now, 555. I'd love to hear more about your MX days, I used to ride ace enduro events when I was younger, loved it!

[@suparasukkasem3319]

I saw a pick-up crash into a little girl on her bicycle today. The little girl was riding around the roundabout the wrong way, she didn't die but her bicycle got crushed and I think she broke a leg. Roundabouts confuse Thai drivers as there are hardly any in Thailand, they have no idea who to give way too. I can still see that little girls face now :( edit Haha I wrote this half way through the video and now you're talking about roundabouts, the roundabouts near me are pretty small. 2nd edit ----- I always see hazard lights being used when they want people to know they are going straight on and not turning right or left, my wife uses them like this, drives me crazy.

[@jamesp.3839]

As a Thai, i always tell my foreign friends to enjoy everything they can. Except when being near roads by all means, a blink of an eye can cause a life

[@Tex_Symbol69]

You could’ve also mentioned how pedestrian crossings mean absolutely nothing there! Which I discovered on my first trip back in 2006 , for the life of me I couldn’t understand why cars weren’t stopping as I was walking across , and I was really freaking out now I see it just as normal

[@mkt3620abac]

I was surprised when the car stopped for me when I went to Europe for the first time. 😂

[@davidslowhand5172]

A pedestrian crossing in Thailand is just a place to cross the road... if you can... The lines across the road are only a means to guide your way to the other side while trying to avoid flying missiles, cars, trucks, lorries, motorcycles, and tuk tuks. The only way to cross a busy road in Thailand safely is to shave your head and wear saffron orange robes. Chok dee khrap

[@bob1505]

This is much better summation of Thai driving habits than anything else I've watched. Excellent effort, thanks. Ozthai, your previous poster answers my sole question, are short polite beeps acceptable to gain a "sleeping" driver's attention? Seems, to be yes.

[@Ulbre]

G'day....I've been coming to Thailand since I was 20 (now 61) and lived here full time for 18 and a half years. I love driving here. It's just so much more laid back than back in Oz.....you put your indicator on to change lanes and more often than not you will be let in as opposed to having them accelerate to close the gap back in Oz. I will use the horn but just a light double tap to maybe let someone know it's a green light, not a long angry horn blow. Whilst road rage isn't the norm here it does happen and quite often when it happens, guns come out. Never seen it myself but it is in the news regularly. But if you drive courteously as depicted in this video, then you also will likely never encounter it. Cheers from Chiang Mai :)

[@teejay5295]

Dashcam warriors in Australia would have a meltdown attempting this stuff in Bangkok. Similar etiquette in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Very good and well explained video with examples thrown in.

[@andywarne963]

Absolutely excellent video and all spot on. Living just off Lad Phrao Rd I have to do the U-turn thing all the time and its a joy once you get used to the etiquette which is, as you say, barge out once there is a reasonable gap. And people dont mind as everyone knows its the only way it can work! In my home town London, people would go crazy if you tried this! Oh and one other tip, if you see a number 8 bus, be very afraid! They sometimes race each other and woe betide anyone that gets in the way!

[@iice1915]

When you applied sabuy sabuy culture to all aspects of life including driving culture. But if someone got honk then no more sabuy, so many road rage start from one long honk😅

[@CThienV]

I remember visiting from sydney for the first time in 2009. Our thai inlaws picked us up and the road trip back to BangNa was a bonkers experience.

[@marcp108]

I only ride in Hua Hin or Chiang Mai. Some things I've noticed - bikes taking off at traffic lights before the colour changes from red to green. Cars and Motorbikes driving through a pedestrian crossing once someone has crossed, even if the light is still red. Parking cars in car parks across other cars but leaving the handbrake off so that it can be pushed out of the way. Turning left on a red light - bah got fined for that despite many other riders before me doing the exact same thing. In the road rules (I have a Thai License) its illegal beep your horn unless there is danger.

[@samivalovirta6062]

As a westerner… I leave driving me to the locals. Yup, it cuts your wings down a little, but it also saves lives (including mine 5555) compared to me riding a bike there on my own causing havoc. If you really need to get on yer own two wheels and roam the Kingdom - get the insurance and the HELMET! Be safe

[@Herbiegoesbananas]

Keisy this was a fantastic educational vlog i wish i saw it last month when i was in thailand. I was offered so many times to drive on a few road trips but i just turn them down as i wasnt educated on how they follow their rules. Just after this i would feel more confident.

[@Kasey128]

Excellent video. I’m here in Bangkok and drive exactly as you explained. Thanks 🙏

[@sarlina1]

One important thing to know (not sure if you touched it?), is that when your traffic light goes from red to green, you still need to watch out to see if it is actually clear and safe to go. There are always those who come in late, and still go on red light, just because the last bike or car did.. They`re thinking one more, just one more.. This can go on for many seconds. I have seen many accidents because people just drive when their light got green, without looking at the total picture. Thai traffic is not like in European, American or Australian countries.. Many good points here, keis. Oh, btw, going left when the traffic light is red, is common as you say. You will not get fined, unless there is a sign saying not to go left (when red). There are a few such signs in the bigger cities. When no signs at all, you can assume it`s okey to go, when the traffic allows it. In Pattaya the police use to give tickets right after those turns, where those "no go"-signs are (a left sign with a "slash") 😊😊

[@russellfranzi1023]

Also, the lights change from amber to red quickly. Be careful if you run an amber light.

[@cpinventar]

I ride a lot of electric unicycles in Bangkok. It's the coolest city to ride in. It's hectic but at the same time incredibly calm, everyone works together and gives space to each other. Unlike in the West where it's me me me first...

I have experienced everything you mentioned in your video. Sometimes I think the traffic is ludicrous, but… it does make sence and I think there is waaaaay less traffic lights because of it. In Australia, my 10km commute to work had 30 sets of traffic lights.

[@Dan-hz5tg]

I would say getting use to the motorbikes was the hardest thing, as I almost hit a few my first time driving. They weave in and out of traffic so much it's hard to know what they are going to do, and even on the highways. Also I didn't realize they have cameras for speeding, luckily the rental company never came after me for money as I was flying on the highway when I drove from Chiang Mai to Surin and back.

Road signs and markings are mere sugestions in Thailand. One thing to remember is the bike riding mentality seems to crossover into cars. Don't be surprised to see cars on the wrong side of the road instead of going a bit further and doing a U-Turn

I`d like to add from my personal experience that most minor accidents will always be the farangs fault, no matter how many cameras you have there will be ten witnesses saying differently. I was involved in two minors last year but on the plus side, my insurance premiums dropped when I needed to renew.

[@madmax43v3r]

A tuk tuk hit my Dmax while I was stationary, had no issues with him admitting fault, but of course the driver didn't have any insurance. He popped my (new) front tire and damaged the wheel, but was able to pay for most of the damage himself. I didn't ask him to pay for the damaged wheel as it was already scratched up from the previous owner(s).

I have never driven in Thailand but i lived in Philippines 3 years and had both bike and car there. According to Chad in CB media he says Philippines is worse then Thailand... I drove a friends car in Manila rush hour. Old Corolla with a worn out clutch and worn down under chassis. If you braked in 70kmh it moved 1-2m to the left :-). I think both countries are very similar when it comes to how they think in traffic. Its pro active and pushy 🙂. So i had a Mitsubishi Strada build with 35" wheels, ironman fenders all around and 7inch lift. No one tried pushing me around 🙂. Also had a C5 Corvette in perfect shape with only 17.000miles...

[@osvisuals12]

The road etiquette used to be better than this, not many dare to run the red lights, but since the Covid, cops stop doing their job. The social distancing back in 2020 was the reason the cops stop working. Now it's becoming a rampage, running the red lights, driving on the curbs and going the wrong way, are becoming a norm, out of control. If the cops decided to come back and do its job, i think, it's too late, just out of control situation now. My suggestion for the government and the police is to use CCTV to capture the plates for violators, and charge them with heavy fee when they go to renew their yearly road tax. Failure to pay must result in motorcycle confiscation until the payment is fully paid.
