What app on the play store is it ? I'm seeing one by Grato Apps . Want to get the correct one. 

You are correct, in the Trat office, all in Thai, except they did have a English manual explaining the traffic, and road markings. 

Did mine for motorcycle last month in Trat. Took two days, first day starts at 8:30am, color test, and reaction test. Next are 2 and half hour of videos, break for lunch, and then more videos until 4pm. Second day  starts at 9:30 am, in the morning is the online test, TAKE the English version. After that, break for lunch, and come back for the driving test. The test is driving in between cones, and the "small bridge" or plank crossing. Most Thais fail on the plank . For me the best way is get on the plank and gun it. The test takes no more than 3 minutes. After that, back in the office, for a photo, and 5 minutes later you have your license. I think is about 200 baht. 

Considering using a service that allows you to you fast Track upon departure. Is it worth it ?  My flight to Dubai at 9:35 am in Sept. 

Still confused on this TM30 Leasing a house in Kanchanaburi for 6 months. So every time  I leave and come back I have to file the TM 30 ? or will the landlord file ? 

Spend the 1000 baht, and go  through FasTrak, took me 10 minutes from getting off the plane to getting on the taxi.

I will post what happens. 

Thanks for the info. As I work for the US gov't, and have to travel to Bangkok thought I would get one there.

Anyone know of shop that rents a truck or SUV, or car with a hitch in Kanchanaburi ?  Need to tow a small trailer now and then.  

Going to the US Embassy in Bangkok for a statement of residency. I would assume I take that to Thai Immigration office, and exchange for a Thai copy ?  Want to buy a motorbike in my name . Is there anything I will need ?  Have a Thai motorcycle license. 

Was reading another post here, and it menations you are only allowed 6 visa exemptions by air per year. Never heard of that before. My situation is I work month and half, and return to Thailand for 2 weeks per cycle. So far, have 4 visa exemptions and nothing has ever been said to me. Is the 6 time limit for real ? 

You might want to check out overseas contacting. Free housing, meals, etc. Automotive Management Systems is based UK, and is always looking for mechanics. Do one year of overseas contracting, and you will be set. Big money, and 3 paid Vacations per year.

Yes they still do a affidavit for you to state your place of residence.
You will complete a blank affidavit to do it.

Thanks, I assume the affidavit is online ? Anything else I will need ? 

Anyone know if the US Embassy is still issuing certificate of residency ? Checked the website, and did not find anything. Want to put a motorbike in my name in Kanchanaburi. Expats there tell me immigration is difficult to work with. Also, what documents would I need ?  Do have one a one year lease agreement.     

Just bought new 2019 GD110HU this week. Great little bike for around town. Would like to change the front sprocket for better lower end power, and maybe some aftermarket control levers. Have done a google search, checked Amazon, but cannot find any info or parts. Anyone know of source ?  On the levers, the front brake is cable activated, and all the aftermarket lever sets, are hydraulic. 

Have noticed a trend lately, from working on my motor bikes, to printing something off a USB drive, the answer is always "no, no, no". Has anyone else encounter this ?   Seems with the high Thai baht, most shops or repair shops, don't want our expat business. Is it me, or has anyone else notice this ?

UPDATE

When moving the bike today to storage, noticed when I pushed down on the front the fork clamps are loose, so where should they be , 

Attached photos on triple clamps. 

Will do 

   Thanks 

Seems like the bike is top heavy in sharp right turns, any amount of leaning , and over it goes. So far no damage as the bike falls on me. Kind of turns would be sharp rights in soi streets. With all gear I weigh 81 kilo. Almost  feels like the handle bars swing all the way to the right when turning. Is there a simple way to check that the bike sits level ?  F

The 150bf was the only model the dealers had in stock. Found a KLX 125, but read reviews of being unpowered. Will try the fork adjustment. 

Bought a new 2019 KLX 150bf, and needed the seat height lowered, the local shop installed a lower link made for the bike, shaved the seat, and dropped the forks. Now in the 40 KM per hour plus range bike wonders all over the road, and right turns feels very unstable, and at slow right hand tuns bike just falls out from under me, on the ground almost like the handle bars were turned all the to the right. Any ideas ? , and yes have  ridden both trail, and street bikes many years in the states. So far no damage to the bike, and only slight damage to me. 

I have a hard time believing this post. But if true, you don't have emergency credit card for backup ? I always have a least 2 back up cards, stored separate from my wallet, and have the account numbers written down for extra security. As you are posting this, you must have a computer, and or mobile phone. Do what many have suggested, sell what ever you have, call your mom to send money via Western Union. Get yourself home ASAP, and stay there until you learn to be more responsible.
