We drive on the left as in England and Australia. All speed limits are in km/h, 30-50 for towns, 60 for suburbs and 90 for major (A) roads and dual carriageways. I’ll happily cruise along the open road at a good clip, but we must always slow right down through the towns/villages, 50 km/h maximum. There are often kids, dogs, chickens, etc., kicking around in the streets. Also, if you see the tour guide braking, there’s a good reason – and you should break, too! Many Thai´s ignore the typical unwritten rules of road positioning and merging we are used to in the West. We’ll go over this in person so don’t worry. There is always a “sweeper” and a service vehicle to make sure any riders caught by a traffic light or water buffalo crossing delay do not get separated from the group!
