“I have already informed rental shops on the island of this situation. There will be no exception.

Gov Norraphat added, “I have ordered the relevant agencies to be strict on the vehicle rental operators, especially rental motorcycle operators, because nowadays foreign tourists prefer to rent motorcycles to travel.
“I have asked to have measures put in place to educate these vehicle rental operators about road laws and regulation, ” he added.
