Do you carry your passport with you?
tingtongfarang replied to Hummin's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Do carry my passport? Not on your nelly, i even travelled by car to south thailand from bkk and never thought to take my passport, i check into resorts and hotels with just my driving licence, i did get asked one resort in samui for my passport but they accepted my DL in the end. -
thats obvious but with my friend when they seen the picture of a moped on his home car licence they assumed it meant he was licenced to ride a motorbike when in reality it only allows a 50cc moped, when we arrived home my friend asked...what does this motorbike licence allow me to do? I said it mean you can go and buy a 1000cc motorbike today and ride legally, he replied but i have never ridden anything with 2 wheels apart from a bicycle.

But for some reason they also require the original licence along with the IDP which shows a picture of a moped.

Took a friend to get his thai licence in bkk, he had an international from the uk, when i seen a lady at one counter talking to him i thought maybe he had forgotten something, when i asked he said she asked why he did,nt get his motorcycle licence also, he came away with a thai car and motorcycle licence and told me he had never ridden anything with two wheels apart from a bicycle before, it seems they seen the small picture of a moped on his uk licence saying he would be allowed to ride a moped with 50cc and assumed it meant motorcycle.

Clutch and gears or automatic?
tingtongfarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Regarding fuel consumption i have a manual vios and always used it for fishing trips-a friend had exactly the same car but automatic - we often travelled the same route together, his auto used quite a bit more fuel than my manual. -
Clutch and gears or automatic?
tingtongfarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
My answer was gears and clutch as i bought a new triumph bonneville just a few days ago...dont think they do automatics but i have a honda pcx automatic which gets used for 7/11 and the market, my car (toyota vios) also manual-clutch and gears is 17 years old had it from new and runs-drives same as new, i have had automatic cars in europe-jags and mercs - i like automatics in big cars only, In my experience automatic cars at least use more fuel than manual. -
i,m talking unfurnished, waste of time looking on the internet, just find a property advertised with a sign or ask the local noodle shop then speak to the owner, first house i rented was in prawet.. brand new 2 bedroom 5k per month... i enjoy moving every 3-4 years, I need a garden because i own a dog.

renewed mine today, mine finished on the 24th of march, when you make an appointment they give you a paper to show the cops should you get stopped, i still find the system there a shambles though and many people had copies when they needed originals.

Few weeks ago was talking with and american guy and asked if he works here, he said yeas with a smile and said thai space program... i started laughing then he said serious, I asked what exactly and he told about this satalite they were building and said with all the corruption and zero its almost impossible so far as they order parts they get suppleid not from the manufacturer but who can skim the most money, we just get supplied with incompatible parts.
