Khao Na Ped (duck rice) @Third Road Pattaya Klang/Nuea

Easy lah.
Red White stripe kerb 100% cannot park or stop.
Yellow White stripe and black white stripe kerb also cannot park although you will see some people parking.
Anywhere with a standard Blue Red Circle no parking sign.Some have timing restriction means can park after certain offpeak hours.
Anywhere that can cause disruption to flow of traffic eg. near U turn, traffic light juntions.

That means only when there are no markings, can park?

 

[Bonut]

Nah, you flatter me. Blame it on my trusty iPhone 6.o_O No gizmos, only know how to do close up makan. Unlike pi froggy with his takes.

Froggy cheats. He got model to distract us and prop up the pics.

Pls excuse my 2nd language thaglisho_O

You know I was referring to photography when I said "composition".

Yup. But beware of faded paint on the kerb. In big cities, very obvious where can park where cannot park. Cos Mata livelihood.

IDL no required for Sinkies unless want to convert to Thai driving license. As for matas, IDL is only needed when the original driving license is not in English.

Now no same as last time, now very strict and I doubt any mata will openly take undertable (tai tok) or Tai Ngern for most traffic offense. If driving, try to keep to the left as one of the most common offense is "failure to keep left" and very hard to dispute. Usually they target pickups. For motorcycles, very likely to be stopped at road blocks.3 things:helmet,Government Insurance( Por Ror Bor)sticker and driving license.

This is Por Ror Bor compulsory government insurance.

I checked with 2 of my associates who have cars and bikes for rent. They said they would require from me a IDL. But I do know as a matter of law Singapore DL is acceptable.
