If you plan on exploring outside Nakhon Si Thammarat, then we recommend you use an SUV or a 4x4, as these vehicles are better equipped for driving on country roads or roads that have not been well maintained due to weather damage. These vehicles are perfect for visiting the nearby beaches, exploring the forests and national parks or driving up the hills to go hiking at the nearby peak of Khao Luang. If you only want to drive within the city of Nakhon Si Thammarat, then a compact car or an economy car would be better for navigating the narrow streets and are easier to park.

The speed limits in Nakhon Si Thammarat, like in the rest of Thailand, will be displayed in kilometres per hour, and are generally signposted throughout the city. In suburban streets, the speed limit is usually between 50 and 60 kph, while on the highways, you can travel at up to 90 kph. The speed limit on the motorway is 120 kph, and even though you may see other vehicles driving faster than this, we recommend that you stick to the rules of the road in Thailand.

You can find plenty of car parks and on-street parking in Nakhon Si Thammarat. If you are looking for a car park in the city, then we recommend the Double Happiness Parking Car Park, as is it open 24/7. When parking on the streets, you should look at the coloured lines before parking. Yellow and white lines indicate short-term parking, which means you can stay there for around 5min. If there is a white rectangle, then it is a parking space, in which case you will need to pay a few baht to the nearby parking officer, to receive a ticket that is placed on your windscreen. If you see diagonal white lines, then this space is reserved for motorbikes and mopeds and you cannot park your car there.
