Thailand’s Koh Chang ‘sandbox’ to kick of November 11
brianthainess replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand
I don't understand this, it seems to be already open, (not that it was ever closed) quite a few of those Mini bus tour groups here last weekend and the weekend before, also seen a few big M/C touring around. so it's already open, there has been no restrictions coming here apart from getting out of a red zone, unless they mean visitors from overseas, how will they be transported to the island ? Has anyone been through the big mushroom checkpoint recently ? I took the CenterPoint ferry to Trat and back on Thursday no checks whatsoever anywhere. -

There are only a couple of banks agents will use, Bangkok bank being the main one. 15k for retirement. So it will depend on what bank you use. -

can you tell the age of car by the number plate ?
brianthainess replied to yeahbutif's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The blue book and the vin plate will tell you the age. If you register a car in a new province you will get new plates, therefore no you can not tell the age from the plate. IMO. -

How can i get a thai driving license ?
brianthainess replied to bluebanana's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I find this very strange, I presume you must have a car, what are 'all' the forms did she get your CoE, what is the extra cost for, jumping the Queue ? Can you not drive or read and write ? If you need a medical does she do that for you? So you went there got an appointment and turned up at the appointed time. Just admit you have a crush on your agent. -
How can i get a thai driving license ?
brianthainess replied to bluebanana's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The best way IMO if you don't already have an overseas licence is to use a driving school, about 20 hrs tuition was 5,500 baht automatic, 6,000 manual pickup truck, 1k M/C the one in Chanthaburi has dual control cars and also take you on a real road, after you have passed the test computer and circuit you can do all of the test over and over again till you pass, they even have a roundabout ! it is spread over 3 days given books to swat up. I have never been so impressed with a company in Thailand. all included they take you for the med cert. 115b, and to the govt office to get the licence. They even took us to see a nice cheap motel near by. My wife had never driven a car before and passed no problem. -
