Driving: What is wrong with these pictures?

Look at these pictures. Can you figure out how Thai traffic differs from how we drive in the U.S.?

InThailand you drive on the left side of the road and the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. This means that a right hand turn is large and needs a turn signal, while the left turn is simple. I must admit, after arriving here I thought we were going to crash because I kept thinking we were turning into oncoming traffic.

I did a little reserach and found a couple explanations for the driving rules. Some say that during the Middle Ages people would travel on the left side of the road so that they could more easily draw their swords against those on the right side (swords would be wielded with the right hand). Supposely, this condition simply continued when people would drive carriages in England on the left side. In France, however, the royalty would travel on the right while the peasants would travel on the left. After the revolution, however, all people were ordered to be the same as peasants and travel on the right side of the road. In the United States, large horse driven wagons would travel on the right side of the road since drivers would be seated on the left side of the wagon and would need to be there to make sure their wagon wheels wouldn't catch on the wheels of oncoming wagons. In short, England and all her colonies drove on the left while the U.S. and most of Europe drove on the right. Countries with greater British influence (India, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and Thailand) drive on the left while most other countries (Germany, U.S., Latin America etc) drive on the right.
