Hi all ! I am on a retirement Visa and planning to cross the border into Laos to do a road trip and return back to Thailand :- My question is .. "I have a valid Visa and a re entry stamp in my passport ... will I still have to do the digital arrive procedure before re entry or will the re entry stamp suffice ?"

Hi Did you have to take anything with you to make the initial appointment ?

Hey everyone, Quick question for those who've been to Laos recently, or if anyone has the latest info: Can I use my Thai banking app (like Krungsri, Bangkok Bank, KBank, or Krungthai NEXT) to scan QR codes and pay for things in Laos? I'm thinking about shops, restaurants, general bills – the usual stuff. It would be super convenient to avoid carrying too much cash or dealing with currency exchange if I can just scan and pay. Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

I've got Thai driving license ( car & motorbike) which are accepted by all Asean affiliated countries . and I've now found a company in the UK who can issue CDP at a price lol £80 (UK) just to send the doc's to my Thai address and that's without there "£280 fee then I have to put a security bond of £5000+++ returnable minus £450 ... it ain't cheap lol

it is not possible to temporarily import a motorbike into Indonesia without a Carnet de Passage (CDP) or Temporary Import Permit (TIP). A CDP is specifically required for temporary import of vehicles into Indonesia, even if the motorcycle is already registered in another country.

Driving from Thailand through Malaysia /Singapore then shipping my bike overnight and then taking a fast ferry to collect my bike at customs(No car ferries since Covid) them Island hop through Indonesia ...and if possible ship my bike across to Borneo them back to Thailand ... Using a CDP is the best/easiest way the freight the bike into Indonesia my research tells me

I didn't mention scuba diving .. if I want to do that I would have added it to my post .. but thx all the same 🙂

Hey everyone! I'm cooking up an epic overland motorbike trip this November and wanted to see if any fellow adventurers are keen to join! The plan is to ride through Malaysia, then freight my bike overnight to Indonesia. I've tentatively found a local agent to handle the bike's shipping paperwork, and I'll take a fast ferry to meet it the next day. Once in Indonesia, the real island-hopping begins! I'll be making my way to Bali, with the ultimate goal of reaching Komodo Island to see the dragons in their natural habitat. This has been a huge bucket list item for me, and I can't wait to make it happen. Is there anyone out there with a similar spirit of adventure who fancies tagging along? Let's hook up and see what these incredible roads have to offer! Drop a comment or send me a message if you're interested.

Hello everyone! Has anyone successfully obtained a Carnet de Passages en Douane (CPD) for a Thai-registered car or motorbike while living here in Thailand? If so, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and the process you followed. I was previously told it might be possible to apply for one in Malaysia, but it seems that service is no longer available. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think you need to tell us your country of birth and which country issued your passport , so people can help ...each country has different rules and regulations for proof of life etc.

Hey everyone! 👋 So, I'm a farang looking to sell my motorbike to another farang here in Pattaya/Sattahip area . Honestly, the whole transfer process sounds like a bit of a hassle, and I'm feeling more than a tad lazy to handle all the paperwork myself. 😉 Does anyone know of a reliable agent or service in the Pattaya area that I could pay to take care of all the legwork involved in the motorbike sale and transfer? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

I think Thai Buddhists and nationals should be more fearful of the Islamic separatist movement (Bombings and shootings on a weekly basis) in the South of Thailand. Than a few western Christians sat in the shade soaking up the Thai culture and putting much needed revenue into local communities coffers .

Mine arrived on the 27th April ... and paid it next day using the QR code provided on the bill . .the hardest part was having to walk the 40mtrs to my outside letter box . LOL .

Cheer !but I've already discounted them ... they are only selling the rear tires and I want front and rear to match .. Thanks for taking the time to answer 🙂

Hey everyone! 👋 Just picked up my new 2025 Triumph 900 GT Pro! Super happy, but the stock Metzeler Tourance NEXT 2 tires aren't quite cutting it for the kind of riding I do. I'm looking to swap them out for a set of Motoz Tractionator GPS tires – loved them on my last bike, great all-rounders! However, I'm having a trouble finding them here in Thailand. Has anyone spotted Motoz Tractionator GPS tires for sale anywhere in Thailand? If so, could you point me in the right direction? 🙏 If the Motoz are a no-go, my backup plan is the Mitas E07+. Also a solid tire, so if you've seen those around too, let me know! Cheers for any help you can offer!

Don't know if this is what you are looking for . but I can highly recommend this company ..I have used them before ... and will be using them again soon when my new bike arrives (in the next few weeks) .. . you can go to there factory in Chonburi a short ride away and they will fit them while you wait great friendly service 🙂 https://srcthailand.com/product-category/adv160-2022-2023 Google maps location :-https://maps.app.goo.gl/VawJ1tinqaZQSv756

Hi All . I would like to know if any of you guys have used the Temu online shopping app? if so what was your experience (good/bad or indifferent) of their service . speed of delivery after service etc ....I usually use Lazada/Shopee .. but it's always handy to have another choice as a back up 😉 Cheer in advance 🙂

I apologise about my ignorance but what is the "Brown Book "???

Hey there fellow "Motorheads" , quick question for the forum! Planning to get a new bigbike soon with red number plates. Has anyone experienced any issues with the police ("boys in brown") when riding a new bike with red plates out of your registered province? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers in advance 🙂

Hi All has anyone got a link to download this certificate so I can buy a new Motorbike ....I did have it but looks like the PC gremlins have eaten it Cheers In advance

Alright, folks, let's talk dating app photos. Specifically, those heavily filtered ones. Seriously, Am I the only one noticing how some pics look like they belong in a sci-fi or a horror movie, not a dating profile? I get them wanting to look your best, but when there're unrecognizable and just look like a pigs wearing lip stick, it's just...disappointing. Honestly, I'd almost prefer someone just be upfront or just lie about their ages and use a recent, unfiltered shot. At least then you know what you're getting. Anyone else feeling this? Should dating apps have some kind of filter regulation? Or am I just being am old-fart ? Let's hear your thoughts!

Hi ,,, 1....Does anyone know if there's a site where you can download the forms you need to renew a 5 years driving license (Banglamung Branch)? 2..Last time I renewed my licenses I didn't need a medical certificate is this still the case or will I need to get one ? 3.. At the present time how long between making an appointment and showing up to re new the licenses?

I am a mocha pot man 🙂

please feel free to pass on your beans/roast of choice . I asked for recommendations only . this will help me narrow down my search and maybe save me wasting my money on poor quality beans or find that elusive beans I might not have considered 🙂

Alright, local coffee lovers! Morning caffeine routine feeling a bit...meh? I'm looking to shake things up and dive into some new beans, and Lazada seems to have everything. Seriously, the options are overwhelming! Has anyone here actually ordered coffee beans from Lazada? If so, I'd love to hear your personal recommendations! Which shops, specific beans, and roast levels have you had good experiences with? Help a fellow caffeine seeker out!
