Let’s go on an unforgettable Thai road trip with us as we delve into the world of renting and driving a car in Thailand! Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first Thai holiday, we've got you covered with essential tips and insights. Our experience was in renting and driving motorbikes on the roads here. So it was not the first time to drive on the left. This was our first experience of driving here with our child, so we were extra careful and one the look out for possible dangers and hazards.
In this video, we take you through our experience of renting a car in Thailand, sharing valuable information about prices, insurance and the amount of money we would possibly spend on own risk, if something went wrong or we - knock on wood - got into a car crash. Ofcourse we were very careful and we thankfully didn't get into any bad situations.
Families, most bigger and well known rental companies do have child seats. Think about companies like Budget Car Rental, Sixt, Hertz, Thai Rent A car, Chic Car Rent, Europcar, Keddy, Avis and Thrifty. Make sure to check out reviews online. They are different per location.
Navigating the vibrant streets of Koh Samui, we document our firsthand experience of driving in this beautiful country, giving you a taste of the adventures that await.
What makes our journey unique is that we're not alone - we're navigating the roads of Thailand with our two-year-old daughter Mia. Join us as we explore the family-friendly side of Thai travel. Safety is our priority so we make sure to give you child-friendly tips to ensure a worry-free vacation for parents. Also we like to keep it affordable with budget-friendly options.
Join us on this Thai escapade filled with adventures, discoveries, and family-friendly fun. By the end of this video, you'll have all the recommendations and advice you need to decide if renting and driving a car in Thailand is the right choice for your next holiday. Don't miss out on the thrill - hit play now and let the journey begin!

We really appreciate it! ❤
Done!
@@Jeronimus84 Thanks! 😃👍🏻
Great little overview!
Hope it gives some insight! 😊🙏
That's exactly what I wanna know. You deserve sub+like. Thx.
Thanks so much, that's great!
I would NEVER get the idea of renting a car in Asia 😂 this is so brave of you! I am sure you will reach your goal soon and getting more and more subs because your channel is awesome! Proffessional travelers 😎 btw, did you later try to take the car in Bangkok as well? 😂
It's not much different to driving in Woodlands... just much more busy... and more surpsrises on the road... and we drove on the left side 😂😂
We didn't drive in Bangkok, that's another level! 😁
what is so funny about it driving in left hand side
UK also you drive left
I drive everyday in an ask an road and I bet i have better driving skills
I’ve motorcycle toured in Thailand and drove in Thailand. Outside the cities it’s a pleasure, but you must drive defensively. I see a lot of westerners who are stupid.
I wanted to rent as well but the thing IDP is required Car rental co. They dont ask abt it. For phuket
We noticed some do and some don't as well. Think insurance will definitely ask for it if something happens.
with a US Drivers License would you need a Int. Driving License?
Believe so! Think you always need it with a US driver's license, except for in Canada and Mexico.
cool
Thanks!
Does the American license suffice? Cos i didn’t bring my international drivers license
Interesting question. After doing a quick Google search we read contradicting things. You could be good with just your US license, but it could be wise to check a bit more if you want to know for sure.
NO IDP is required if get caught 2000bht is fine
You need an international driver’s license. They’re easy to get though.
Small random rental place on the road? I would not even use it if it was free
Whatever works for you 👍🏻
For kids, do we need baby/kids seat?
For safety, we say always do it. Thailand does have a fair amount of accidents. From a law point of view Nationthailand.com says: Children under six years old must be placed in car seats that have proper harnesses and have passed the safety standards of the Thai Industrial Standards Institute or the drivers of the vehicles they are in will face fines of up to 2,000 baht, the Royal Thai Police (RTP) have announced.
@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee Thanks. Do you have to buy one or will it be supplied by car hire companies?
You can get it at most rental companies. You'll see it on the rental websites at extra options 👍🏻
Yes you do !
Actually they have a very dodgy roads here specially outside the cities where many attractions are and the weather can be nasty here for driving.
