Appropriate Security, Convenience to Be Provide to Thaksin: Wissanu
I am not convinced he ever will, If the domestic politicians can make some progress without him. He will not have reason, particularly with the potential jail time over his head. Back off to Dubai and his hookah.

ThaiHealth Rolls Out Program to Rehabilitate Alcoholics at Temples
Hardly a new idea. There is a temple near Bang Saray that takes in wayward people.... they take their phones off them and are subjected to a monks regime. (No not playing cards and drinking all day!)

Thailand Hikes Entrance Fees for Foreign Visitors at Historical Attractions
The reality is it simply does not end there.....from the 220 baht the ATM wants, the proposed 300 baht airport fee, the special price of everyday services, the selective treatment by traffic police, random littering accusations etc etc to the silly payments, fines and certifications immigration require... it can wear one down. Other than that, great place to retire......

Requirements For Obtaining And Renewing A 2 Year Driving Licence
Well we cannot speak generally of Thailand as it varies place to place.... As far as Pattaya is concerned, it is not the liberal place where many whizzed around freely in the 1980s, without helmet between beaches and hotels. The police are more active... it is of course a money making exercise for them, and visiting tourists are a good source of it. The renters do not check your documents and rent out easily, they do not do the job of the police. The police will stop and fine you for not wearing a helmet, and also randomly to check you have an IDP. And possibly other infringements, real or imagined. You will likely get pulled over on Beach Rd, Dolphin roundabout, 3rd Rd, and other places the police are active.... they want to see an IDP I believe. An IDP can only be used up to 90 days after which a local licence is needed.
