Car rental at the Nakhon Phanom Airport

Nakhon Phanom Airport is a serene entry point into the heart of Thaidom. It's located about 13 km west of Nakhon Phanom City. Some of the leading car rental service providers operate from here, making it convenient for you to take the wheels soon after you land.

Driving on the Right Side

Important to note, unlike in the UK, Thailand drives on the left side of the road. This can be a significant change for British travellers. Tip: Keep an extra focus while navigating roundabouts and junctions.

Car Class Recommendations

Compact cars and sedans are a good choice for a smooth city ride. But for an exploratory country ride, you might like the comfort of a larger vehicle or an SUV. The choice of car largely depends on the type of roads you plan to drive on and the number of passengers.

Fuel Stations Near Airport

There are fuel stations at short distances from the airport. PTT Public Company Limited and Bangchak are two of the nearest petrol stations.

Weather Considerations

Thailand experiences a tropical climate. However, Nakhon Phanom can get fairly hot, so ensure your rental car is equipped with air conditioning. Also, during the monsoon, which usually falls between July and October, certain rural routes may become challenging to navigate.

Currency

The local currency is Thai Baht (THB). ATMs are widespread and credit cards are widely accepted. However, carrying smaller denominations in cash can be handy for small expenses like parking fees or road tolls.

Exploring Nearby Cities

Thailand is known for its intriguing cities and cultural landscapes. Some of the notable cities near Nakhon Phanom include Renu Nakhon and That Phanom.

Driving Routes

The route 212 is a major road in the region, connecting to several other provinces and districts. But be mindful of local traffic habits like scooters overtaking and crossing from unexpected directions.
