DANGERS & ANNOYANCES
Traffic lights are often absent from road junctions in Ayuthaya where they would seem a
prudent choice. This means extra care is needed, especially when on a bicycle. Remember
Thailand's unofficial road rules: if you're faster and larger, you have right of way. When
cycling, put bags around your body, not in baskets where they could be snatched.
At night several packs of dogs roam the streets. Avoid eye contact and be sure to keep
your distance.
