Keep in MInd its April first

hahahahha

i really liked this

 

"As of 1 January 2014 all cars sold in Thailand will need to have the steering wheel on the left side. Old normal cars can keep their steering wheel on the right, but owners cannot sell these cars. For that the car must first be refitted with the steering wheel on the left.
Per 1 January 2020 all cars in Thailand, including old cars, must be refitted. However busses, trucks and taxis will be exempted as they are driven by professional drivers who can handle their vehicle safely."

Another one?  

Oh my word!  I am finally settling in with driving on the chaotic streets of Thailand & now this!  This upcoming June/July I plan on getting my official Thai drivers license & now these sudden changes may take affect.  I'm good either way.  Left or Right.  It is what it is...  Amazing Thailand...

I had a good chuckle at this one!

If the story was real it would only affect 50% of the drivers anyway.

 

40% already drive on the other side.

 

The other 10% on footpaths.

Tuk Tuk Drivers are excempt
