Car rental Chon Buri

2. Suitable Car Classes

We recommend renting a mid-size car or a sedan. These vehicles offer the perfect combination of comfort, space, and economy, making them suitable to navigate Chon Buri's city roads and highways.

Insider Tips:

• Opt for automatic transmission if you're not comfortable driving a manual on the right-hand side.
• Peacefully navigate your routes with an updated GPS, essential for exploring Chon Buri without getting lost.

3. Mobility and Driving

Traffic drives on the left side, and your foreign driving license is valid in Thailand. The maximum speed limit on highways is 90km/h, while in urban areas it's typically 60km/h.

Traffic Rules:

• Wearing seatbelts is mandatory.
• Avoid using mobile phone while driving unless you have a hands-free system.
• Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited. Thailand has a zero tolerance policy towards it.

4. Local Attractions

Chon Buri is a treasure that hosts fascinating attractions. Start at The Sanctuary of Truth, a stunning temple entirely made of wood. Also visit the Bang Saen Beach for its blue waters and white sand, and the Ang Sila Old Market for local shopping.

5. Climate and Best Time to Visit

Chon Buri has a tropical monsoon climate. The warm weather is perfect for exploring the outdoor attractions from November through February, the coolest and driest months of the year.

6. Local Currency - Thai Baht

The official currency is Thai Baht (THB), and most establishments accept payment by credit card. However, cash is king for small local businesses and markets, so keep some on hand.

7. Local Festivals

Experience Chon Buri's culture to the fullest by participating in local festivals such as the Bangsaen Speed Festival held annually in December or Songkran, the Thai New Year, celebrated with much merriment in April.

Embarking upon this beautiful journey through Chon Buri, your rented car will be more than a travel accessory; it will be a part of the great adventure. Drive safe and enjoy!
