None of that has anything to do with Thailand. Thailand is not in Europe. And the part about the language of the license was removed from the treaty in 2011. And the only national language in Thailand is Thai so doubly irrelevant.

It's not that that the info is wrong, just incomplete. If a country ratified both the 1949 and 1968 treaties only the 1968 is listed. generally that is the best option since the 1968 IDP is valid for three years. When they designed the chart I think they were just too lazy to consider trips that involved driving in multiple countries. But if you were going on a holiday that went to Spain, Korea, Japan, and Thailand you would want a 1949 IDP because Thailand is the only one of those that ratified the 1968 treaty. I was surprised to see that your link showed that the 1926 IDP was needed for Mexico and Somalia. It checks out.

Thailand accepts both the 1949 and 1968 IDP's.

Everything after the 1st sentence is wrong. Thailand DID ratify the 1968 Vienna Treaty on May 1st, 2020 Parties to 1968 Vienna Convention The link is to the current United Nations Treaty Database When Thailand ratified the 1968 Treaty they did not cancel their participation in the 1949 Treaty. Parties to 1949 Geneva Convention The link is also to the current United Nations Treaty Database Look it up

You should also suggest that meat eaters be required to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It has been known to turn meat-eaters into vegetarians.

I love that clip fro Yellowstone. Great rebuttal to the non-meat eaters whose primary motivation is that they don't want to kill anything.

It would be interesting to see a legitimate poll taken. I am an average person, I've never hunted but am not opposed to it. I have no desire to personally kill an animal. But if it was required to kill a cow or pig occasionally I would have no problem doing it. I wouldn't enjoy it, but I am never going to switch to fake meat.

Dentures and implants are totally different things. I think what I referred to as dentures may actually called a bridge. An implant is when you drill a hole in the jawbone and screw in a titanium insert. Then the gum is sewn shut above it and it is allowed some time to fuse with the bone. After the wait time is up the gum is opened back up and a post with a crown is installed in the hole at the the top of the implant.

I just had a new tooth issue come up where a 30 year old crown fall off. What is left of the tooth is in bad enough shape that a root canal and new crown is not possible. I also had a false tooth that was attached to the crown on one side so the crown and false tooth fell out together. 1st step is having the remains of the one tooth extracted leaving me with two missing teeth side by side. I was given three options: Two implants with crowns - Approx 60,000 Baht Permanent denture - Approx 20,000 Baht (I actually forgot the price but I think this is ballpark what I was told) Removable denture - Approx 4,000 Baht Since the removable denture is so cheap I decided to go with that to see if I can get used to it and not have problems. If I don't like it I'll probably get the two implants for a permanent fix. Dentist agreed that that was not a bad idea. I am already in the process of getting another implant on the opposite side and need to wait four months for the implant to fuse with the bone so this new issue leaves me with a couple of big holes that make eating difficult. This was at Dr. Warin's office on Central Pattaya Rd (Pattaya Klang).

Sukhumvit to Hwy 36 or Hwy 7 (Expressway) to Hwy 36. It is just west of Regents School. Use GPS as signage is poor. You can go by motorbike on Hwy 36 but not on the expressway.

Do you have a reference for that. And I mean a real reference. like a quote from a Thai law? I can show you where to look. Everything that Thai law says about using a foreign license is in Section 42 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Section 42. A driver shall be licensed and shall, while driving or controlling other driving trainee in driving, possess driving license and a copy of vehicle registration certificate for producing immediately to the competent official, except the driving trainee under section 57. In case of a driver who is an alien temporarily permitted to reside in the Kingdom under the law on immigration may possess a driving license under section 42 bis while driving in the Kingdom. In this case there shall be accompanied such driving license with the document prescribed in the existing Convention or Agreement between Thai Government and the Government of such country for producing immediately to the competent official45. [The word “vehicle” is amended its spelling in Thai version under section 3 of the Vehicle Act (No. 12), B.E. 2546 (2003).] Section 42 bis 46. In the case where there is a bilateral agreement between the Government of Thailand and a foreign Government concerning reciprocal recognition of domestic driving licenses, an alien temporarily permitted to stay in the Kingdom under the law on immigration having a driving license issued by the competent official or a driving society recognized by the Government of the country under such bilateral agreement may use the driving license of such country in driving in the Kingdom in accordance with the category and type of vehicle specified in such driving license; provided that the existing Conventions and/or Agreements between the Government of Thailand and the Government of such country and all the provisions relating to the obligations of a driver under this Act must be complied. 45 Section 42 paragraph two is added by the Vehicle Act (No. 8), B.E. 2530 (1987). 46 Section 42 bis is added by the Vehicle Act (No. 8), B.E. 2530 (1987).

That website is well known for having incorrect or out of date info. And their name is a blatant attempt to make people think it is an official government website.

I feel sorry for you.

This is from the AARP website and gives the details of financial requirements and a link to the visa application form. You could fill out the form and makes copies of proof of adequate finances show up on their doorstep. Maybe call first. For retirees who want to live in Mexico, the first stop is to visit the nearest Mexican consulate and apply for a permanent resident visa. You’ll be required to: Fill out a visa application form and pay a $48 application fee. Provide a valid U.S. passport and a color picture. Provide proof of economic solvency — documentation that you have maintained bank or investment accounts with a monthly balance of $181,968 for at least the past year or that you have monthly income from work, Social Security or a pension of at least $4,549 after taxes over the past six months.
