Road Trip To Thailand

[Deucedude]

Road trip is a good experience and fun, but the car must be able to make it. If half-way the journey, car gives problem then headache liao!

 

Thanks for the reminder..thats why I am doing my homework now. lol

Remember to buy your Thai 3rd party insurance at the border crossing, just came back from hatyai, krabi b4 chinese new year eve, road block by traffic police along the way for insurance coverage, cost only 20-30 ringgits. Drive safe.

 

Thanks for the reminder, will keep that in mind.

I will be getting a rental car from Bangkok International airport next month.

Will be driving to Hua Hin and drive around near by area. The car will be return at Bangkok city center on the 4th day.

Can any bros here advice, are there any road toll on the highway? 

The toll is paid by cash or any card (like TnG for Boleh??)

 

Previously I drive in Thailand was on Koh Samui. Have not drive on mainland yet.

No worry; No tolls on Thai Roads.

There are tolls on the highway. Can be paid by cash. Thatz what I saw when I hired a driver to visit the floating market which is out of the city centre.

Screenshots from google. This is the exact route the guide brought us to the floating market which I also researched and was intending to rent and drive there.

Nope. Still bone stock.

 

 

Same as NSH, first lane on the left.

 

 

P.S looking at the screenshot again, I think any lane that does not indicate "Easy Pass". My driver in thailand was using the first lane on the left thou. I dont know why. He paid by cash.

I looked at the map, if u travelling from Bangkok to Hua Hin, u sure have to take Route 35 and then Route 4. The part where from Bangkok over the bridge on to Route 35, it is a toll road. Sure have to pay toll.

 

Unless you prefer the longer route, follow Route 4 all the way. This one no toll but 30km difference in distance.

 

The toll is not expensive, couple of baht only I think 20 baht or so, less than SGD1.

 

 

P.S Oops, wrong info, the toll cost 50baht, about SGD2.

I had already check google map and like to use route 35 and later part all on route 4.

Cost for toll no problem, no point to avoid. Good to know so I have small note on hand.
