Near where I live there's a lesson service

Curious if U guys think it would be worth the money or it's a waste and I can just teach myself?

When I was a kid, everything was manual, we just jumped on them and learned. Just get yourself to a quiet area and go for it. Doesn't take long, if you still have a bit of adventure in you....
Hahahah no a bad idea. Might do that. Rent one and go somewhere quiet.

Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if any of you can offer up some advice on the best way I can go about learning to ride a manual motorcycle (how to use the various gears etc).
I already know how to drive the typical automatic scooter that U can rent on the islands/chiang mai, but I've been long interested in learning to ride manual as I reside in Thailand or Vietnam.
Wondering what's the best way to go about that whilst living in BKK?
Thanks,

You are covered under the automatic extension, as you entered Thailand on a Tourist Visa and your (extended) permission to stay is till April 16th, which is after the 26 March criterium date.
Thanks so much Peter. Thought so but wanted to double check. Much appreciated ????

I was wondering if I can just get some clarity regarding my visa situation/auto extension.
Came in January 18th on 2 month Tourist visa. Then in March I extended 30 days (non-covid regular extension). Now my visa is set to expire April 16th according to stamp.
This means I get the automatic extension till April 30th correct?
Hope it's fine i posted this here, I didnt want to create another thread for this.

Yes, I see now on the Thai Immigration website that "k" window people are directed to Muang Thong Thani. I hope it's obvious WHERE, because that exhibition center is large with a bunch of different buildings. (I imagine there'll be people and signs.)
I also now understand there should be a bus from the BTS directly there.
I'm going to stroll on down by 8am tomorrow. Let's see who spends more time there.
Which bus number would that be ? Was debating doing taxi from Mo chit

From my understanding, your list is good. I HOPE so, because I will make the same trip tomorrow with the same visa situation! Supposedly, if you've entered on a TV before March 1, you just follow the regular procedure for a visa extension.
Will you go to the regular office at Chaeng Watthana? or go directly to the area they've set up nearby at Muang Thong Thani? (And if so, how will you get there?)
I'll be heading to Muang Thong Thani, that's where Tourist visa extensions are from my understand.
5am taking BTS to Mo Chit, then doing Grab Car lol. No other way I guess. Definitely want to be there early, so i dont get turned away after the first 1000 visitors. Just wanna get this done ahha. -
Quick question for those that've done a 2nd extension. I'm going to be doing mine tomorrow. I just wanted to double check that I have all the right documents for 2nd extension for Tourist visa. This will be done here in Bangkok
- TM7 filled form and photocopy
- 2x Passport photos
- 2 copies of Passport ID Page, 2 copies of Visa & entry stamp page, 2 copies of TM6 card- Embassy letter printed and copy of it
Did I miss anything? Please let me know just so I don't get turned away at 5am

Thanks Joe. Much appreciated

Out of curiosity... if going to extend in BKK (2nd extension), do we need the whole residence proof, photo of us in residence, etc? Im seeing in other places it's becoming a requirement . As im in an airbnb, this might be a bit difficult to provide.
P.S. Got my embassy letter today
-
Update to all CANADIANS:
- Just got embassy letter in email. I think theyre starting to hand them out/send them finally. Hopefully if U filled out application last few days you get yours as well.
Now onto the next 10 hoops to jump through haha

Yes, you arrived before March 1st, so you need a "special" extension which requires a visit to the immigration office.
Thank U, this announcement is ridiculous as barely anyone came in after March 1st and and everyone extending is from January - February

The Canadian Embassy is issuing the letters effective today.
From an email I received from the Canadian Embassy yesterday:
"VISA EXTENSION REQUESTS
The Government of Canada has advised all Canadians to cancel non-essential travel abroad and for Canadian travellers to consider returning home. Assisting Canadians attempting to return to Canada remains a top priority for Consular personnel. We recognize, however, that options for return to Canada are rapidly diminishing and that some Canadians are resident abroad on a long-term basis. In this context, the Embassy will, as of April 1, undertake to provide supporting letters for Canadians seeking visa extensions in Thailand.
For all such requests, we would kindly ask that you contact the Embassy via email, at [email protected], and not to appear in person."
Awesome, only thing is i filled out the affadavit on March 30th at the embassy myself... still waiting on the email to be sent to me in order to print out and take to IO. Thing is that now the IO is requesting residence documents and landlord to come with you to the office... ridiculous.

What if i did my 1st visa extension on March 4th ....
Does that mean I dont get the automatic extension? -

Ha. My first every trip to Canada. Was your independence day. Celebration in huge park. Was drinking with Canadian family in closed off area. Their kids couldn't come in because of alcohol restrictions.
I thought au was stuffed up joint. You guys raise the bar.
Back to topic. Are Canadian folk able to obtain the golden letter for 30 day extension?
Was at embassy yesterday me and other. Filled out papers for it. Then we were told ... wait for email with response if approved. 36hrs later and still waiting. It's like this with other people i've spoken to. Seems that the embassy is asking for various documents and proof in order to give you that silly letter in order to extend 30 days.

That's because Au embassy is an absolute joke. Worst of the lot. They do not do residence certificate. They do not do stat Dec. (USA call affidavit). They do stuff all.
I can list more.
BTW I'm oz.
I take your Oz embassy and raise you the Canadian embassy...... in times like this, to stamp an affidavit, they're wanting proof of residency and other <deleted>. U fill it out, wait 3hrs in embassy then they give U back your passport and tell you you'll get an email later today or tomorrow. Only for it to not come. Canada eh!!

a lot of people will be doing the 89 day overstay. guaranteed.
or until a border is open.
Yup, was thinking the same... in the case my Canadian embassy wont provide a letter to extend (which they haven't yet, and theyre delaying on several others as well and starting to require hoops to jump through), and in the event that the Thai government wont change anything, which is quite likely. Hopefully in 89 days ... Some border nearby opens up to head there.
Learning To Ride Manual Motorcycle
in Thailand Motor Discussion

To be quite honest... I dont know much as to what type of manual it would be. Since im a beginner I'd go for 150cc most likely.
Thank U for the advice , ill work on stopping/starting to get a feel of things. Much appreciated
