Re-entry permits normally can only be issued where you applied for your extension or on departure from the country at some airports and border crossings.

I GOT MINE TWICE AT EITHER AIRPORT ??? cost 1200 baht.....got fast tracked through passport control !!!

why not get at airport can do at both....swampy and D Muang.

save waiting all day at C W.......

They said lanterns were barred, so why did I see loads floating up into the sky. Many many of them. I am talking about jomtien beach. Also loud music which must have been well above the set decibels. And they talk about loud motor bike exhausts. !!!!

As a fellow Canadian, you and I both know that we would be at high risk of a stiff violation if we attempted to even drive one km down the road with a non-plated/uninsured vehicle. Or a vehicle that had blatant defects, unsafe load, occupant over-capacity, or if we drove on the wrong side of the road.

I once failed to renew my drivers licence on due date (2 days late). Cop in car ahead of me read my plate even though "reverse vision", he entered my number in his computer and it showed owner of the vehicle driving with an invalid licence (but vehicle was ok).

That turned into a very expensive day for me as I was not allowed to drive the vehicle one foot further. Hello Mr Tow Truck.

And that is how proactive police work should happen in Thailand !

well put and said....

Maybe it is time to devise a more comprehensive campaign, that would address the issue, and, hopefully, save people's lives. Bring in advisers from more advanced countries, where driving is a lot safer, or would asking other people for advice be seen as 'losing face'  ?

good idea BUT just how does one get across HOW to drive to any Thai......who thinks HE can DRIVE...their brains just do not allow any influx of proper driving skills... !!!

Especially automatics.

 

Unless you live in a city and spend hours in traffic jams , can't see the attraction of automatics unless you are very short or something wrong with your legs.
