probably 75% of the ppl dont bring a bike to the test  when i was there ,you can rent a wave or a fino or a mio or a honda click for 100 thb ,same with the car test ,you dont need a car but i think it costs more to rent a car maybe a few hundred  Posted Image

i couldnt find my old licence so it was faster to just do the thai test and get one here than go through the hassle
of reporting it lost and having a new one issued and posted over

less expensive too

a thai licence is a bit of a joke ,considering after the  3 minute test and then you can LEGALLY  hop on a litre bike straight away
and theres no differnce in qulaifications between that and a honda wave

its madness ,but the more fashionable big bikes get,the more young men r going to write them off :(

I guess its part of the charm of living here, you can get MC/car licenses for less than 1000 bath compared to EU where that will cost min 2000 - 3000 $ (properly more).

Okay its mad you can take the test on a Wave, ride for 10 min and then go straight out and buy a 1000cc racing bike.

Complaining about why most of us are here, no nanny state.

Tip: Pay for 5 years for your license. It then means you don't have to go back every year and show all the paperwork to make a new license. In fact see if they will let you make 10 years Posted Image Then all you need to do is re-laminate it every so often.

Other tip: don't drink drive, especially around Bangkok. otherwise you will find yourself locked up and paying a serious amount of money to get out (around 10,000 baht). Just not worth doing it anymore. Take a taxi instead and help all those taxi drivers out there who need customers.

You're bragging about riding around drunk with your gf on the back? Shame they didn't lock you up. Nobody cares if you kill yourself, but putting your gf at risk like that is pretty disgusting. Posted Image

Non Imm visa required for 5 years DL
