Yes that's correct. They are a good lab and don't offer breath test so I imagine it would be rare / not possible to find a lab without a doctor offering breath test.

Weed shops closing. Cry me a river. Quite surprised the controlled explosion of a bomb at phuket airport yesterday hasn't even made the news digest today. Nor did the bomb found a few days ago at phuket bridge checkpoint.

I would like add Locals wearing a face mask over mouth only whilst driving a motorbike but no helmet. And Wearing a mask whilst driving alone in car.

I asked about this at a lab in phuket a few days ago as i been waking up with the symptoms but am not quite sure. 800 baht. Not bkk but might give you a ballpark figure and answers that yes can be done at lab

Forget lisa. Its mabel now. https://x.com/JustMikeMcKay/status/1929650043222462796

Update here: I have held a 2 year then 5 yr then another 5 yr Thai license previously on non-imm visas. Now in Phuket there is a choice of Phuket office which is backed up a few months or 2 phang nga offices which are only a couple of weeks of queue (you can see the queue in smart queue app). I asked at phang nga office and the manger says policy there is to renew even a 5 year license as a 2 year on a DTV. Then as Phuket is less user friendly and backed up I asked 2 agents I know down here who can sometimes work around such issues. Both said nope. The 5 year will be renewed for 2 year and there is nothing that can be done about it. I imagine the success stories here are either before changes in policy took place or due to different offices interpreting it differently. The phang nga office did also say "the policy of our office is... " so I imagine in the backwaters of a place like Nan or similar you might have a better chance. Dissapointing anyway.

thats good news then. was this a phuket office by any chance? If not just disregard my question.

So they registered your (caucasion?) face? Did they check your visa status at all?

You can still do multiple 50k transfers scb told me.

I agree with over reliance on electronic methods but for taxis it's nice. Can't be bothered playing the "I have no change" game. Infact I avoid taxis because of it and overcharging.

I get stopped almost daily when I take my gf to work. Flash license and gone in seconds. If you come here riding around with no shirt / helmet / license and barely ridden a bike in your life i'm happy to watch these cops f up your day. It's a shame they don't go a step further and punish the shops renting to customers without a license.

How dare you criticise the imaginary people in the sky.

I don't think your experience is age specific.

I asked a DLT office a week ago. Have a 5 year obtained on non-o. Need to renew but now on a dtv. They said policy is to give a 2 year to me. I contacted an agent I know to see if that gets a different result.

Everyone has their photo taken on entry to Thailand. You'd reckon there might be something in that. If they bothered.

Last 6 months "gonna review it".

No pay bar this one!

Yeh just a week or two ago news was dealing with it at a national level. Now this.

How does the banking compare? Just noticed this https://news.laodong.vn/kinh-doanh/hon-86-trieu-tai-khoan-ngan-hang-chua-dinh-danh-se-bi-xoa-so-1526286.ldo I wonder if they are also wreaking havoc on some peoples bank accounts over there

No the government and PM was overwhelmingly voted for by the majority of Thais... Oh wait a minute. Actually..

Thai army seems to have incredibly bad luck with helicopters. Thinking back to the crash a few years ago and the helicopter sent to the original crash also crashing.

I used to feel sorry for these people until they hijacked, murdered and stole the yacht of some foreign couple anchored off an island south of phuket a few years ago. Yacht was found in Indonesia from memory.

Nothing. But gotta buy it yourself.

Never heard of her

Is that a close up of a tear in his eye? Looks shook.
