While they are at it, why do they not ban all sort of smoking, and all sort of alcohol in all Thailand.
And also ban all sex outside your own bedroom, and all sex that is not with your lawful married wife.
I am sure that will make everyone happy and bring a lot of turist to Thailand. 🤣
(In case you did not understand it.... It is ment as a joke)

He went to court and lied to the judge ?

NO. Police say that he lied to them.

Good job they did not have 5 kids in the back as well.

The first 6 month I was in Thailand, I had a Danish driving licens, and a international driving licens ( Sins that I have had a Thai licens)
I did get stopped a few times while on the Danish licens, at check points, and always showed my Danish licens.
Was newer asked for the international licens.

Still... Thailand is a free country. (ferly free anyway)
Up to the shop to set the prise..... Up to you whether you want to bay it or not.

Think it is Mandatory at most ( all ?) IM. if you return from out of the country.

Your Thai Bank, might also want to update  ask them,,

Not if you have a licence that is in English, then it is legal for around 6 months from entering the country. 

You are right, But try to argue that with a Thai cop,

Balcony railings in Thailand are apparently not maid to stop you fall. (Too low)
They only make sure you fall head first.

That would depend on where you are in the country.

Yes.
When I did it, (Had multiple entry NO-visa, 3 month allowed to stay) I took the bus from Mukdahan, and back, to get another 3 months. In all takes 1 hour to get the 3 months. Only stayed in Lao for 15 minuts.
(But then I live very close to Mukdahan.)

The OP apparently does not want to open a bank account in Thailand. This leaves him with the only option of carring the on milli Baht on his person.

 

Wha is the limit for a foreigner to bring Thai cash into Thailand?

He can transfere it to my bankaccount

At 73 your reaction will not be as fast as the majority of riders on the road. 

But as you wrote, with quality training and vast wealth of experience your reaction will be better, your interpretation of events will be better....    

 

But, is your reaction better than it was 10 years ago?.... is it better than the 50 year old you? thats where age comes into and a factor one must evaluate when it comes time to hangup the helmet. 

 

Of course, safety involves much more than age... it also involves were you ride. 

There is a big difference between pottering down to the 7-11, or the beach and back vs lane-splitting and navigating Bangkok’s traffic etc... 

 

 

It would also be a fair assumption to argue that the reaction of the vast majority of ‘Western riders’ here in Thailand have a better reaction than most Thai riders because they read the road ahead and predict the unpredictability rather than make assumptions which when wrong lead to a collision. 

 

 

You are right, I am sure.
My reaction is not as good as my reaction was 10-20 years ago, but I still clame that it is better than many young drivers today.
Anyway, I do not usely drive anywhere as fast as I used to do, and I think that make up fore some of the bit slower reaction.
Anyway... I was only claiming that it is wrong to asume that you should newer drive a motorbike if over say 65 years of age.
But I agree that the only way to drive fearly safe in Thailand, is if you drive a armerd car,

Now they are att it, why do they not go all the way, and make it leagol to grow puppets.
At least a lo nicer to look at.
