April i presume. What do you do if the police stop you with no plate?
Whoops yes April ???? it's not my every day bike it's my bike I use for longer road trips ,, and I've not got anything planned until mid May ( the rocket festival Yasothon ) so it is not something that really concerns me

Procedure for replacing a lost Number plate and tax disc as of 10th May 23
(1) Report the lost items at your nearest area police station , you will receive a official letter which you will need later ( free of charge)
(2) documents you need to take to the land transport office
1 .. passport
2,, vehicle log book
3,, the report letter you got from the police ,
(3) At the land transport office go straight to the information desk in the main build ,
The lady at the desk was extremely helpful she filled in the form for me that I needed , photo copied my passport, she then issued a queue number ticket ,
(4) wait at window number 4 until your number shows up on the Monitor .
(5) when it is your turn hand all the paperwork to the lady at the desk (she will tell you to take a seat until called for again
(6) approx 10 minute later she will call you back ,, she then hands you a new tax disc and you pay 125 baht for the replacement disc she then tells you to return in 20 days to pick up and pay for the replacement number plate .
(7) keep the receipt slip which is attached to the tax disc you'll need that to claim the replacement number plate at a later date .
(8) take your vehicle log book and passport and the receipt slip with you when returning to collect your number plate (you might be asked to show one or all of them ).
(9) from entering the land transport office to walking out of the building took 35 minutes ( I arrived at 13:05 hrs and left 14:40 hrs)

On 4/7/2023 at 1:55 PM, HammerMan said:So, how was the experience?
(I.) Used the LINE APP to book and pay for the ticket (easy to use quick to received confirmation and a E Ticket) (2.) check in very quick and efficient friendly staff that speak good English, (3,) Boarding with a vehicle simple again and friendly staff . (4) a free bottle of water when showing your boarding ticket . (5.) VIP seat quite comfortable and easy access to all areas (6.) Bars open 17:30 hrs until 22:30 hrs large cans of beer 120b (7.) 12 inch Ham & mushroom pizza 350b Not bad quite tasty . (8.) Ferry promptly set sail at 17:00 hrs (9.) Outside upper deck bar became very windy once the sun set , but not a problem the bar eating area inside the boat has a nice atmosphere . (10) Coffee 's for sale is very nice and 60b a cup. (11.) you can order from a breakfast menu in the morning ( I never bothered coffee is enough for me lol) . (12.) Ferry started to disembark vehicle's at 09:00 Hrs (13.) quick and easy too driving off the ferry . How did I rate the experience 9/10 for the VIP seat 10/10 for staff friendliness and helpfulness . 7.5/10 for the food 7/10 for overall value for money would I use again ????? probably not but this is a personal opinion . and nothing to do with the ferry as a wholeA short youtube video I didI didn't take much of the inside of the boat I do not think it is right to video people without their knowledge0 Comments

Hi All...I am in need of some advice... I have just returned home from a long ride trip and to my horror when unloading my bike noticed that the Number plate which had my tax disc attached had vanished (not stolen they were there when I loaded up the bike this morning) ???? . I would like information about the procedure of replacing them ,the bike is Chonburi registered .. what paperwork will I need ? how long will it take to get them replaced ? and a rough idea of the charge involved would be nice ????
Many thanks in advance ????

I mention Pak Bara as it’s the most obviously Muslim place I’ve visited in Thailand, other areas I’ve visited in the South (e.g. the GF’s family who live approx 20miles from the Malaysian border) have been non-Muslim (no problems getting alcohol or pork).
BTW on the Koh Lipe boat now & this is what is under the seats in front of me…
you take your own beer with you "Good man" lol . a bit off topic but can you take a motorbike on any of the ferry to Koh Lipe ? ( I know I am grasping at straws here lol)

Stayed in Pak Bara last night to head to Koh Lipe today & no problem buying beers in either of the 2 7-11s I popped into.
in fact I’d say they had a better selection than my. Local 7-11 in Wongamat. .
I know that in Touristy areas 7/11's will be selling beer ,, but I'll be in rural areas next to the Malaysia borders and staying in Thai resorts or lodgings but I will be in the Pak Bara area when starting to head back to my home ????

With some of the Southern Provinces being predominantly Muslim I assumed that some 7/11's would refrain from selling alcoholic beverages due to peer pressure,

Hello All ! I am doing a motorbike road trip around all the Southern provinces next week and a bit of local knowledge is needed .After a full day on the saddle I like a couple of beers to relax and unwind , my question is :- Do all the 7/11's in the southern provinces sell beer ? or is it a bit of a hit or miss affair?
Cheers in advance ????????????

Not going to sit in judgment of the OP, but the expression "lead by example" comes to mind, especially when you consider the constant bashing of Thai drivers on this forum.
So you'd be in favor of dual pricing of fines too non Thai nationals ?? Now that sounds like a good idea "NOT" ,,,, 99% of drivers in Thailand are Thai ..and 500baht is nearly double the minimum wage .. sorry the say the world here doesn't really revolve around farangs as much as the narrow minded bar stool'er's want to think.

May I ask, were you wearing a helmet or just the typical, sandals, t-shirt, and shorts?
I think if no helmet the fine would have been bigger ????

Hi All . People always seem to slag the Thai Police , But I have to report a good experience , First I'll hold my hands up I was clocked at 132kph on my bike on 1 AH highway yesterday , from being pulled over to leaving with a 500 baht fine paid for at the pull in station I was treated so politely/respectfully and even given a bottle of sweet lychee ice tea. I was shown photo evidence of me speeding (so not a rip off) . I could not pay with my banking app(not work for some reason) .and could not pay with cash the station . so a lady in the police station office scanned my ticket and paid it on her phone app , I then gave her the 500Baht fine money and also offered her a small tip for her help which she refused point blank ... the police officer then told me to take a photo of the receipt off her phone and the speeding ticket as evidence and proof of payment .
10/10 for the police .. and 10/10 for my stupidity at getting caught
