Don't paint them the police could class them as fake number plates and issue quite a hefty fine.

If you look closely at your new plates you'll see the background paint has holographic images imbeded many people (motor cyclists) have been fined for cutting their plates to a smaller size removing the round hologram in one corner.

It looks like there is some black tape on at least one of the wires...so its perfectly safe right ?

So the rescue one wards off accidents that kind of makes sense...but why ward off girlies removing knickers ? or maybe she's putting knickers on so sticker is to ward off girlies with knickers on or putting them back on...maybe "I think too mut"

I've also seen Sylvester Stallone "Rocky" mudflaps on trucks..maybe wards off anyone wanting to fight with the driver.

I'm still trying to find out what these 2 stickers mean

new cheaper version out now ( the one on the left )

Is there any reason why you can't cut durian off the tree unripe and leave it to ripen somewhat like you can with a bunch of bananas ?

Our postman has also crossed out 20260 and written 20150 on mail both international and locally sent

for delivery to Na-Jomtien

Yes its the one that has the SCG sign...they extended to the rear with a large air conditioned building and further back is a drive in warehouse with bulkier items

Why on earth they haven't put a "Hardware House" sign on the front facing Sukhunvit for everyone to see is anyone's guess.

not sure of the phone number but this place repairs washing machine and fridges

They often are made from low quality metal and the toothed part breaks due to fatigue.

Easy to change just prise off the circlip that attaches the toothed part to the slatted window pusher arm and then unscrew the unit from the window frame.

New winding mechanism from as little as 35 baht

What rubbish! Get off your bar stool and take a walk. + 95% of tourists, Thais and expats use the chair vendors. There are beaches in NaJomtien with no vendors if you like that. They are all empty of people too.

Na Jomtien beaches are increasingly full of Thais from seems to be mainly Bangkok Friday, Saturday and Sunday often hard to find somewhere to park a car

thankfully there are still very few annoying vendors only 1 or 2 an hour instead of every 10 seconds at Pattaya and 20 seconds at Jomtien beaches.

500 baht fine each and sweep it under the carpet quickly.

Hardware house at Bahn Amphur near to the Ambassador Hotel has blow torch heads and clip on gas bottles for them.

165 baht for the gun and 110 baht for 3 bottles of gas.

Almost indefinitely ?

IMHO it should be just 1 day and the same day for the whole country

7++ days of drunken wet madness is ...ermm well madness !!!!

My wife translates the front page headline something like this.

Waterfront under heavy fire from many sides,

Pattaya Mayor ( nick name Dtik) agitated says not built to specifications but they (presumably the developer) refuse to demolish.

I have my paper type L in Europe, which is valid for life time !!

If I would change to ID card type, I will get limited for 5 years,

than test again;

So I will keep my paper type,

so that means I have to get a full test to do ??

The only way to know for sure is to go to your local Department of Land Transportation and ask them if they will accept a paper licence.

I've heard that some have been excepted, some haven't been excepted , some had to get a translation into English from their embassy

and some had to have it notarized + variations of these.

It all seems to be up to the official at that particular time and place what is acceptable and what's not.

Basic engine with carburetor is good, means its cheap and easy to diagnose and fix when something goes wrong.

Please may I have my thread back!

My question was:

I am licenced for a car and a motorcycle in the UK.

If I take the Thai multi-choice test, eyesight and reflex tests, will my new licence include car and motorcycle categories?

Informed comments welcomed.

It seems that:

• Both licences are separate, i.e. they are not just categories on the same piece of paper/plastic.

• I can apply for both licences in one visit, taking the same tests (where necessary)

  and

• I will need two complete sets of application forms and supporting documents

Are there any more opinions out there?

You wont ( shouldn't ) have to do the multi-choice theory test, just the reaction and eyesight tests.

if you clearly show them your car and bike entitlements ( the pictograms ) on your UK licence they will ( should ) give you one credit card sized plastic licence with your photo on it enabling you to drive a car and another separate licence much like the car one but just for the bike.

2 separate licences 2 separate sets of documents if you apply for both at the same time ( mostly ) they will except 1 original set and 1 copy.

As with lots of things here when dealing with "officials" sometimes they like to make things a "challenge" with the paperwork requirements.

since when, I changed my UK paper licence for a Thai licence in Khon Kaen without any problem

Well lucky for you.

Others have said the paper licence was not excepted as it didn't have a photo of the owner

and they had to do the full theory and practical test.

once again it depends on various things as to whether a certain office at a certain time will accept or not your documents

or just send you away to get some other never mentioned before document ( just to get rid of you )

When and where was that menzies233 ?
