Shopping must be placed in the boot or on the back seat, and if on the back seat, it must be secured with the seat belts. You can only carry one gas bottle, and it must be placed on the front passenger seat and secured with the seat belt.
Er, sorry Alan, but that's not true

I also leaned at the last HISS that you can carry 240 litre of petrol as long as it's not in containers of more than 60 litres each - homolothingy'ed containers of course ...

Actually many, many, many years ago a very nice lady - not in Thailand i hasten to add1 - once searched my pockets and found a condom, and i've never forget the advice to, "think safety, slow down" and, er, some other kind of 'off'! (thumbs)
