Reset your odometer(kilometre distance gauge) to zero tohelp you follow directions when yousee this instruction.

Bilingual (English/Thai) road signs indicate destinations androute numbers before intersections, and show the road numberand the distance to the next main destination after the intersec-tion. Kilometre stones show the road number and distance theroad on the front face. Distances to the next destination in thedirection of travel are found on the side of the stone.

DRIVING ON DIRT ROADS

Dirt Roads go all over the mountains, but even Thaiscan get lost in the maze of crossroads. The tracks aresteep and narrow and very tricky in the rainy season. Ifyou plan an overnight trip on a dirt road trip take thefollowing: torch, candles and matches, warm clothes(especially in winter), water, dry food, insect repellent,and a full tank of gas. Drive very slowly to preventmechanical problems from stranding you.
