IN THAILAND THEY DRIVE ON THE LEFT SIDE...


I never knew that until now. I ASSumed they drove on the right bcuz I live in Canada, which was a British colony but we drive on the right like USA and Mexico.

Thailand was never a British colony...

Tnx Pete, I realize that Siam was never a colony of the UK, and why I'm wondering about the road rules. I actually thought it was in Japan bcuz early on in the film there is a building with Japan etched on it. But Thai people have almond-shaped eyes, while many Japanese wear eye-glasses.

πŸ˜… Not sure where the Thais took it from. India maybe? Occupation by the Japanese was too short for changing the traffic rules... πŸ€”
Just learned that in China there was once a mix of RHD and LHD. Maybe the Thais adapted to the Chinese traffic rules close to the border?
