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 ?

Tapster. You need 1 set of documents per license

(Most places accept 1 original set with the other set being a copy but T.I.T)

Car and bike will be physically separate licenses.

You only need to do eyesight and reaction test.

Multiple choice computer road rules test should not be needed.

As long as you tell them you want both car and bike and have 2 sets of documents 1 original and 1 copy you should get both licenses.

Your UK license must be the photo card type not the old paper type.

.

So hopefully time is running out for Mr Reeks .

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high...

I have now waited for my Dreamcard for nearly 4 month from ********

and I am so tired of the situation. He will not answer e-mail´s, so

maybe someone knows what is happening out there in Thailand. Does

anyone have the new adress to the discussion-boards, I will be glad to

have it, so I can follow if there are any news. Do you think we will

get the cards or are my money lost.

roadworks and they were both speeding, one would expect lights to warn drivers of roadworks but they stopped using them in Thailand as many were stolen by people, was very surprised when I was informed of this by my wife. Usually safety lights are mandatory at road works but thefts have stopped this here, the fact that many roads do not have lights of a night doesnt help either but in this case you can bet speed/alcohol played a major part as well.

They recently resurfaced the main Sukhumvit road near to where I live, the street lights where deliberately turned off

on the stretch of unsurfaced rutted road ! also no warning signs

( maybe they think the lack of lights is the warning to slow down ? )

There where a few motorbike accidents due to hitting the ruts at speed.

More defamation lawsuits and attitude adjustments coming soon ?

Ohh dear using Pattaya as model of sustainable tourism

and jetski management

They are right about the cluster bit though you can see the cluster **** they made of the beach promenade

and the cluster **** of traffic chaos every weekend etc etc etc

Is Crazy Dave still around ?

Have a look at this forum for some clues

here they have a channel editor but looks like you may have to update firmware to use it.

Many of the photo processing shops ( Kodak ) can make DVDs for you

also some of the dwindling internet cafes can do it, I've even seen some mobile phone shops advertise the service.

In Pattaya South Pattaya road there is a whole building dedicated to IT called TukCom there is bound to be a shop there that can do it.

If you have a UK Car licence you can NO LONGER get a Thai licence, you have to do the entire thing! Computer, colour and the actual driving. The law changed a year or two ago, the only way you might swing that one is if you have an international licence

Really are you sure about that ? and why only for UK car licence ?

anyone else holding a UK licence ( photo card licence not the old paper one ) had to do the whole kaboodle ?

Billions and billions going on "high-speed" trains a few millions for the peasants wont hurt.

Maybe they need to set up some big screens in the middle of the roundabout and play that video on a 24 hour loop

the screens would be broken or stolen in a few months but at least some drivers might have grasped the theory by then

Everyone jumping to conclusions as per usual.....

He should have been taken directly to the hospital..... Simple.

he got in a fight in a bar , he was fleeing on his bike however being intoxicated he hit a noodle vendor.

he should be taken directly to police station and cleaned up in the bathroom then processed.

The Sun reports ( yes I know the Sun )

Paul's other brother James Hagan today revealed Paul had suffered numerous injuries including a fractured skull.

On his public Facebook page he wrote: "Spoke to Paul just there. He has fractured skull, eye socket, broken jaw and fractured shoulder.

I think with those injuries he should go to hospital not the police station bathroom !!!

Important Waterfront Update

We are writing to address some recent false reporting in the press and social media, and provide you with a full update on the current situation.

13th February 2016 was the deadline date for Pattaya City Hall to issue the construction permit, or to provide any further final comments.

Being that this was a Saturday we received an official letter from Pattaya City Hall on Tuesday 16th February. In this letter they have requested clarification on just two points.

A calculation from us to show the usable space, non-useable and saleable area within the building.

A presentation on how the automatic car parking will work.

We have fully completed a detailed analysis and breakdown on the space of the building and a full presentation on the car parking set up, and this was submitted to Pattaya City Hall as of Friday 19th February 2016.

Both issues that Pattaya City Hall had raised were simple enough for us to answer and we believe they are legal under the Building Act.

Our understanding is that Pattaya City Hall, have just one final 30 day period to review our submission to these points and either issue the permit or refuse, we are not aware of any reason that they can or will ask for any other information from us.

We will update you again in 30 days.

Sincere thanks for your patience.

Bali Hai Company Limited

Brand name "Real" helmets are DOT approved

( still the only Thai made helmet DOT approved ? ? )

available in lots of stores in Pattaya are cheap and have spares readily available.

The ground floor looks high enough for most pickup trucks

and the third floor is very high !!!

Careful you'll upset the property developers !!! ( just because no lights on doesn't mean not sold )

Remember 80-90 percent of those condos where sold to savy inverters ( flippers) before they even finished building

according to their advertising bumf act quickly last few left etc etc.

Thank the gods that most of them are unoccupied I'm sure the electric,water, sewage and traffic networks would be under immense strain if not.

The drought started not long after the USA Inc wanted to "study" the weather the skies began being sprayed with aerosols. Now the skies are covered in some kind of chemical haze and it doesn't seem to rain. How about stopped the aerosol spreading and see if weather patterns return tonormal?l Who wants to breathe that $hit anyway?

So you believe that el-nino is caused by the USA spraying aerosols..... aka chem trails ?

Where's my tinfoil hat gone.

Well it has been knocking around for 10 years and had its annual inspection every year and so far nobody in any DLT has said that it is illegal. It has also has 4 or 5 farang owners before me that I can read in the green book.

I wish you good luck and hope the transfer goes smoothly

Well it seems that they are really only just starting the "tunnelling" up to now it seems they just made a roof

now they have a JCB digging away.

here is the time schedule 810 days finished 1st February 2017
