In Topic: Any Suggestions Which Gift A Local Thai Would Appreciate?

Yesterday, 15:54

it is the thought that counts....thai's appreciate any gifts given to them.....many thai's have given me gifts including soy milk and glass noodles in package....
the chocolate would be good,,,,if you bring chocolate back with you keep it with your carryon and it should be ok....

if you do not already have a valid motorcycle license from another country, you will have to take a driving test on your motorcycle too...

it is not hard...you will have to go around a short course.   you need to stop at a pedestrian crosswalk, a railroad crossing and a stop sign.  be sure to look both ways when stopped before starting again....then you will need to ride up on a raised concrete form about 4 inches tall and 8 inches wide for about 20 feet...
the signs for the crosswalk and railroad crossing are marked on the road so you will have to look for them....watch what the first people do and you should be good....

also, i was the only person there who had someone bring them to take the driving test...everyone else were driving a motorcycle by themselves.
