First, I want to thank everyone for your wonderful responses to my query about driving to Phuket. ขอบคุณ🙏🇹🇭

after looking at my road map I've decided to add Krabi,Trang, and Satun to my journey then to make my way back up exploring the east coast. .. 

again, all advice is welcome. 

.

Mỹ rental guy assures me this is my best car for the journey and that I don't need insurance, I am seeking insurance anyway. 

I am waiting for my IDP to be delivered in the next couple đays.

thank you all again so much, ya'll are awesome.
