    I see, well in that case i will claim all the damage from the ANWB which is the agency that sold me that international driverslicense (only them are allowed to sell them officialy). They said it's valid for one year in row...(i buy one every year).

     

    I'll call them again when i'm back and tell them about this, they didn't inform me properly which by law is their job. And for worldtravelers this is crucial information.

     

    But i also have a very good travelinsurance which covers motocy driving...also they didn't tell me about it.

     

    If they spoke english i would get a thai driverslicense tomorrow...i live close to a thai drivingscool with their own circuit. But even my wife doesn't know if i can just go there and do whatever is needed to get thai dl.

     

    If you have your valid driver's license and a valid international driver's license you need to get the following:
    - Statement of residency what you can get at the immigration office for free.

    - Medical statement what you can get at any local doctor or medical service around the corner. They just take your blood pressure, not more than this and you have to fill out a form.

    - And don't forget your passport as the passport number will be copied to the driver's license.

    You go to your nearest Department of Transportation where you can get your Thai driver's license valid for one year. After that year you can get one valid for 5 years. The only tests you have to do at the DoT are: reaction speed, if you are blind or colour blind. But most Thai that are blind are getting through the test. Then it's time to pay 200 THB for your motorcycle driver's license and 200 THB for your car driver's license. They will have your picture taken and you can go with 2 credit card size driver's licenses.

  2. A year and a half ago, a friend from Danmark got fleeced over a 5 year old designer's suitcase. He had to pay 25,000 THB and would have gotten his tax money back when leaving the country 2 weeks later with the designer's suitcase. That's what Thai customs promised. He's still waiting for the return of his money as he didn't get it in cash but with a cheque that was not covered outside Thailand and now has expired.

  3. Interpol took off all people wanted by Thailand.

    Probably due to corruption in Thailand. Or the dictatorial junta.
    One thing I know is that The Netherlands will never ever extradite someone to Thailand. Not even to Belgium because of the overcrowded jails and inhumane treatment of prisoners. Thailand can suck on this !!!

     

    Not one country in the world would extradite someone wanted by North Korea. Well almost none.... 

  4. I wonder if my Thai ex girlfriend now finally got her driving license. She was driving car for 12 years already when I left her in 2012. She never turned the lights on because someone told her that the electricity bill at home would rise if she turned on the lights. Yes, she had a masters degree in business economy from a Thai university...

     

    Another girl that I knew, had her sister go for the driving license exams, doing all the work. She only had her own name and picture on her license. 

     

    Just 2 girls you don't want to drive you home.
