ð Behind the Wheel â Celebrating MoriTour Drivers
At MoriTour we often share the beautiful temples and national parks our guests explore, but todayâs post focuses on the people who make those journeys possible. Every day our drivers rise early, check tyres and brakes, clean the van inside and out, and plan each route so travellers enjoy a smooth, safe ride. On Thailandâs roads there are challengesâfrom congested city traffic to remote mountain passesâso professionalism and experience matter.
ðĢïļ Road Safety & Practical Tips
Driving in Thailand requires preparation. The country has wellâmaintained highways in urban areas, but lessâdeveloped rural roads can present hazards thethaiger.com. The Thaigerâs roadâsafety guide advises avoiding nightâtime driving, since poor visibility and stray animals increase risk thethaiger.com. It notes that drivers should be ready for unexpected hazards like congestion and unpredictable behaviour; keeping a safe distance, using indicators and watching for motorcyclists and pedestrians are essential thethaiger.com. Foreign visitors need either a Thai driving licence or a valid International Driving Permit (IDP)âtravelling without one can lead to fines and invalid insurance thethaiger.com. Speed limits vary from 80â120Â km/h on highways and 30â80Â km/h in cities thethaiger.com, and seat belts are mandatory for all passengers thethaiger.com. Riders on scooters must wear helmets and never drink and drive thethaiger.com. These rules may sound strict, but they reflect a nationwide effort to reduce accidents and keep everyone safe. Our drivers adhere to them meticulously.
ðŠ Dedication Beyond Driving
What sets MoriTour drivers apart is their passion for hospitality. They greet guests with a smile, help with luggage, provide cold water on hot days and share local stories along the way. Drivers also act as cultural ambassadorsâpointing out landmarks, explaining customs and recommending authentic eateries. For example, they might explain the significance of giving alms to monks at dawn; almsâgiving is a centuriesâold ritual recognised by UNESCO theo-courant.com, and visitors are welcome to participate respectfully by dressing modestly and maintaining silence theo-courant.com. Through such interactions, travellers gain deeper appreciation for Thai culture.
ð Parallels with Cambodia & Laos
Thailandâs road culture shares similarities with its neighbours. Cambodia and Laos also drive on the leftâhand side, require international permits and emphasise patience in traffic. In rural Laos and northeastern Thailand, slowâmoving tractors, freeâroaming cattle and motorbikes dominate the roads, so drivers must remain vigilant. The water festivals celebrated across the regionâSongkran in Thailand, Pi Mai in Laos and Chaul Chnam Thmey in Cambodiaâhighlight shared values of cleansing and renewal en.wikipedia.org. Our drivers often share these cultural parallels with passengers, enriching their understanding of mainland Southeast Asia.
ðĪ Did You Know?
International Permit Required: In Thailand, using just your homeâcountry licence is illegal; you must carry an IDP or Thai driving licence thethaiger.com. Without it, you risk fines and your insurance may be void.
Avoid Night Driving: Rural roads often lack lighting and wandering animals are common thethaiger.comâour drivers plan itineraries to finish before dark.
Seat belts and Helmets: Seat belts are legally required for all passengers thethaiger.com, and motorbike riders must wear helmets; Thai police enforce these regulations.
Speed Limits: Highways have speed limits up to 120Â km/h; city roads are limited to around 80Â km/h thethaiger.com.
Cultural Etiquette: When visiting temples, always cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes, and speak softly. These norms apply in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
