Thailands Most Annoying Highway Habits

Updated December 13, 2018 By Darren C

Some of the driving habits on Thailand’s highways are extremely dangerous, while others are just annoying and thoughtless. Not all the habits on the list below are unique to Thailand but they are certainly more prolific in Thailand, which can make Thailand a dangerous place to drive.

  1. Using “hazard lights” to indicate to indicate they are going straight on.
  2. Won’t let you in or out, or turn at a junction, even if you are holding up traffic, this brings us to the next one.
  3. Every man for himself at intersections and crossroads.
  4. Not yielding to your right of way.
  5. Flashing headlights to warn you “I’m coming and I’m not stopping or slowing down for you”.
  6. Public buses beeping their horn as the approach a bus stop.
  7. Motorcycles passing you as you about to make a turn.
  8. Trucks travelling at walking pace whilst announcing via megaphone the latest deal or show somewhere.
  9. Parking in the middle of the road while they call in to 7-eleven.
  10. Driving at night without headlights turned on.
  11. Motorcycles driving and parking on footpaths.
  12. The guys on the back of the truck staring at you while waiting at a junction.
  13. Motorcycles riding through junctions in to the main road without looking.
  14. Motorcycle riders forgetting to turn their indicators off.
  15. Amulets and flower garlands hanging from the rear-view mirror.
  16. There’s only 1 or 2 cars waiting for the traffic lights to turn green so they can make a right turn, but rather than be second or third in the queue, the next driver stops at the front of the next lane.
