  1. So I am not clear: Them asking for the country means the IDP is only valid in this country? Or why are they asking? I usually know IDPs to be valid worldwide in combination with the undlerlying driving license of the issuing country - as long as both are not expired.
  2. I wanted to get an International License in Chiang Mai too. At the window I was told validity was only one year, cost for IDP car license 500 THB, and I have to specify the country for which the license was valid. Those restrictions were not attractive for me, so I passed. Did you also get a license valid one year for only one country or did I misunderstand the questions?
  3. Hello, can anyone recommend affordable English courses for Thais in Chiang Mai? Thank you.
  4. I cannot find 66 realty, but I see 66 property. Did you mean that company?
  5. As a newcomer to the area, she is not at all well connected here and it is good to have someone who has had experience to guide you in the right direction. I was thinking that many expats here have experience with real estate companies and could point her in the right direction so that she can avoid choosing a company and then after 6 months realize that the company is not as good as it seemed. She is my neighbor and has a family of four to support, so I would like to help her avoid this kind of experience and I hope that many members of this forum would be kind enough to make some suggestions and save her some time and frustration.
  6. Hello, a friend of mine who was successfully developing and dividing land and building and selling houses in the larger Bangkok area moved with her family to CM for some personal reasons. I would like to recommend some good real estate companies to her so that she can apply for a position as a commissioned agent. I think her extensive real estate knowledge and her excellent sales skills would be an asset to any company in this field. Could you please tell me who you think are some of the best companies in this field in Chiang Mai? Thank you very much for your help!
  7. Hello, I entered Thailand beginning of September. I went to immi and got a new 1 yr extension for my Non-O about a week ago. Does that count as a 90 day report, or do I have to go and do a 90 day report now?
  8. You don't need an appointment. See my post Nov 3rd.
  9. When someone has a lifetime license, does it stay valid?
  10. My experience changing temporary 2 year license to 5 year license: No appointment is necessary at Hang Dong Office https://maps.app.goo.gl/Rwy3NZeM5MCf8tYf8 As already mentioned do NOT queue up at the Info window in the middle, but go directly to window 27 for foreigners. From 2 to 5 year renewal NO test is necessary (but from 5 year to 5 year watch online video and answer simple questions at https://www.dlt-elearning.com/ before showing up at the office). No photos are necessary. The following documents are required: 1.) Medical Certificate (original and signed copy for car and moto) 2.) Certificate of Residence from Immigration close to Airport 2nd floor (original and signed copy for car and moto) 3.) SIGNED copy of TM30 which usually resides in your passport (2 copies for car and moto) 4.) SIGNED copy of 1st passport page + visa + extension + entry stamp (2 copies for car and moto) 5.) Old Trial Driver License(s) You drop all this together with your passport off at window 27. You will have to fill out a simple form with name and phone nr for each driver's license. You are asked to sit down. Your NAME will be called after a while. You will be given a print out of your data for the license! CHECK IT - my address was incorrect - they simply took the old license address and not the one from Certificate of Residence. You make a visual test for color blindness. You are given a number. When the number is called you go to the window specified and pay for your driver's license (205 THB motorcycle, 550 THB car) - cash & promptpay, card with extra charge You are ushered in to the musical chair room where the photos are taken and at the same time the driver's license is printed and handed to you. DONE (Total 2 to 3 hours right after their 12-1pm lunch break) International Driver's License: I wanted to get an International License too. The clerk refused to even talk about it until I had my new Thai licenses in hand. Then I was told validity was one year, cost for car license500 THB, and I have to specify the country for which the license was valid. Those restrictions were not attractive for me, so I passed. I hope this will help someone. :)
  11. https://maps.app.goo.gl/sAob22NwzRvmMGwm9 It is hard for a new medical business to establish itself by honest word of mouth advertisement. It is equally hard for potential patients to ascertain the quality of the practitioner. Please take this caveat in the confusing medical field. I would be interested to hear reliable reports of any reputable members to the above practitioner. Alternatively there is an established Osteopathic doctor in Chiang Mai: Dr. Ben Thompson Chiang Mai Osteopathy +66 83 832 5805 Charges 1000 THB for diagnosis and chiropractic(?) manipulation Osteopath with degrees from University of Cambridge and London School of Hygiene Office is north of Ruamchok Mall Chiang Mai Osteopathy 083 804 0605 https://maps.app.goo.gl/YnCv2CXC3aZirMYG7 He is very knowledgeable and his degrees are impressive. When I went to him with a friend I was expecting the gentle osteopathic treatments familiar to me. I was surprised when his treatments of my friend included more seemingly traditional chiropractic elements. I didn't want to cut into the allotted 30min time of my friend so I didn't get a chance to ask for the reason.
  12. According to this thread there are some legal problems with these types of bikes, especially if you get into an accident or police control.
  13. My two year trial licenses for car and moto expires middle of October. I suppose I should walk in to the DMV and bring 1.) Medical Certificate (original and copy for car and moto) 2.) Certificate of Residence (original and copy for car and moto) 3.) Passport with TM30 4.) Old Trial Driver Licenses 5.) Photos to now get a permanent 5 year license and at the same time an international license. Is this correct or am I missing something? Do I have to do an online test? At what link? How many days is the grace period after which I cannot upgrade the trial license to 5 year license any more? Thanks for your help. ????
