His money back? Ha. No chance. Zero. Nil. If he gets his money back I want his lawyers phone number 555

Driving instructor? In Thailand?! This story has di much fodder for humour but now is not the right time. Condolences to the slain cop. Also sympathy to all the instructors students.... You all really failed.

Well, this certain gives new meaning, and pause, to the words "secondhand"

I'm feeling so used

So what exactly is wrong in that area besides idiot drivers?

"issued an advisory". For what? Snow? Ice? Fog? It's not "death highway".. it's stupid killer drivers! RIP. Always so sad ????

You're back!! I've missed your wit. ????????????????????????????????????

The miserable coward pos that hit and run. Did they find him or her?

So this farang in this photo is the Polish overstayer? Really?

The police didn't want to help because the man was obviously a nut job. Wears a Rolex? 5555 555. Riiiiight. Either way... Avoid him at all costs.

Another question would be why do the IO ALWAYS read every page of my passport like it was a drama novel? I present the passport open to my Non O visa... It's disregarded and they start flipping pages... Why? 5555 5555

If I was on a boat with you I'd push you in and then later ask how did it feel to have all those people stare at you as you were fighting for your life.

Absolutely pathetic. Shame on those on-lookers

Sounds Iike they are a good match.

Well that's just great. No online appointment system now. Go to the dlt to get an appointment and return about 10 days later... Bug first go to immigration to get the residency done certificate. You are the one in la la land 555. I'm keeping it real. Including my desire to go on a road trip from time to time and rent a car! 555

For a one month stay.. Smith Residence is a good bet. About 9k baht per month Welcome!

But, doesn't RO water mean that EVERYTHING is killed in the water... Including the the minerals that are healthy and necessary for us ?

Morning! I should add to my OP.... Look at that air outside! Pollution! High pm 2.5..... All of Thailand has poor air quality right now. Forcing people to visit government offices in their vehicles 2 times.. Or like me.. 4 times.. is NOT A GOOD IDEA... Just to get a document! Madness 555 555 Is not just about time.. It's about stupid waste of gasoline and needless pollution Have a lovely day.

You're right! 555. I quoted the wrong post. Sorry about that

Typical uninformed response. Hence my post. First visit... 1 hour travel time there and back from Jomtien. Wait about an hour... Check docs and get an appointment to return another day... for how many hours.. unknown. So no... It's waaaay more than an hour

Really? A friend who lives in BKK said last year it was a 3 month wait to get a license ?!

Pattaya is a big mess Yes. If you think otherwise you're one of the apologist types. Last week I wrote about my 4 trips to a very crowded Jomtien immigration office. An absolute mess Yesterday I went for my first visit to the "local" Department of Land Transport... 18 km from Jomtien where I live. The area was absolutely packed! I was there to renew both 5 year licenses. I already knew that this trip was just to check my paperwork and get an appointment date. No online appointments possible. Why not? Moving on.... the earliest appointment was February 9. Oh come on! I figured 2 or 3 days later.. not 10! Several posts have been on this same topic... and that is... Why are the government offices in this area so busy and simply chaotic? With hundreds of people OUTSIDE these buildings they are obviously not adequate. It's no wonder that Thai people don't bother with getting a license... 2 days off work! The respective DLT in Krabi and Chiang Mai are huge compared to here. In typical Thai fashion.... Thailand government wants more tourists/others but has no facilities to support those visitors.

I'm moving from Pattaya to Chiang Mai in the next 2 months. I already have 2 certificate of residency.. To renew my bike and car license... The certs were issued by Pattaya DLT Will the Chiang Mai DLT accept the Pattaya certs? Alternatively... I can renew my Licenses here in Pattaya before my move.. What hassles / legal requirements do I have by using a license to drive in Chiang Mai issued in Pattaya?

Did you get a medical exam cert?
