Frank Hovis kindly provided a link to official Thai Road Signs, and it is evident that many of the signs used on Hua Hin's road infrastructure do not comply. It was suggested that the unofficial signs do not have to be obeyed.
I'll be the first to admit that I have been too lazy to study the official road signs in Thailand

I took this example earlier today while my wife was paying our electric bill.
I accept that this is probably private land, so the signs here may not be enforceable, but they are representative of many road signs on Hua Hin's roads. In this instance, the signs indicate a clockwise traffic flow, but as I took the photo, I had to jump out of the way of a vehicle travelling anti-clockwise

So, does anybody know the legality of the signs? Is there an official penalty for disobeying an unofficial sign? Why use these unofficial signs, when there are perfectly good official signs?
A place where such signs are regularly disobeyed is on Soi 94 outside the old Suey Vista. Only this morning I had a truck come the wrong way towards me - I just sat there, and enjoyed the show of a Thai reversing. I will not yield, but to be honest, I'm wondering if I am equally at fault.
