After you get accustomed to the motorbikes and with the help of sat navigation driving a rental car is one of the best way to explore Thailand. Some tips on staying safe whilst on the road.

  • Safety : Always think motorbikes before opening the car door of your taxi or Khon Kaen Car rental. Motorbikes are everywhere and frequently travel in the wrong direction to save time.
  • Crash Helmets : The wearing of crash helmets is not strictly enforced, and it is not uncommon to see motorcyclists without helmets driving at 80 km plus.

You could head southeast to the Khmer ruins at Prasat Puay Noi; southwest to see gorgeous mutmee silk crafted in Chonnabot; northeast to Baan Khok Sa-Nga, where the locals are known for keeping king cobras as pets; or west to the large Ubonrattana Reservoir, and take in the dinosaur attractions of Phu Wiang.
