The job comes with a car and a driver so it was not until Bangkok&#8217;s lockdown that self-driving was necessitated if we wanted to get anywhere without risking public transport. Having gained confidence on the empty roads of Bangkok Mr Wren was now ready to tackle a BIG road trip.<\/p>\n<p>The drive took 5 hours 30 minutes with a Saturday mid-morning departure, the return trip at the end of an extended holiday weekend took 7 hours 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand has the second-highest road traffic fatality rate in the world. Particularly vulnerable road users include motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists which comprise 83% of the fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>I would not suggest driving yourself unless you are a confident driver on Asian roads. Road users are unpredictable, they drive fast and leave little space between vehicles. However, one particularly nice aspect of Thai driving is for all this, they are as a nation very relaxed behind the wheel &#8211; there is no road rage here. Well apart from me, as a passenger indignant at some of the lousy driving!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=1170%2C1170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sukhothai1-scaled.jpg?resize=230%2C230&amp;ssl=1 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>BY TAXI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our friends rented a minibus for the weekend which cost 13,000 Baht (415 USD.)
